Wonderful, Caring Neighbors
        (Posted 2-5-08) Thank you to all of my neighbors. On Sunday Feb. 3, so many people came to my rescue, I am thanking God everyday. In such a mighty snow storm, Ramah Volunteer Fire Dept., Pine Hill Ambulance, Justin Earthworks, Dr. Domer, and last but not least my neighbor Mary Jo Wallon, and anyone else I have left out, came to my rescue when a nasty little kidney stone reared it's ugly head. With all their collective work, they got me out of my house and safely to Rehoboth ER. It was a long trip, but I was in good hands.
       Thank you all. It is because of people like you that we all can live out here in this beautiful country and still have good medical care.
