• Dr. Baxter at Northside Pediatrics for being so good to my daughters and easing my mind as an overwhelmed mother.

• Thomas Jefferson for his quote, “Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common law.”

• all those employed by Crane Hill who lost their jobs over the holidays — stay strong and good luck!

• Mary Cox and Wade Fugate for repairing the fire damage to my garage and fence, from Linda.

• Janet Ballard, and daughter for the delicious New Year’s dinner; it was so sweet of both of them, from your neighbor in the trailer park down the street.

Onions to …
