Brandy

Marshall Writers’ Guild member As a result of my being hearing impaired, my children learned quite early they would accomplish nothing if they stayed in bed and cried they were sick. They got up and came to me. When they were teenagers, we acquired a female dog who shortly presented us with a litter of puppies. We kept one of the puppies, He soon learned I could not hear; therefore, he barked when someone came to the door or at any unusual sound. He bonded just with me. After my children were no longer living at home and my hearing had gotten worse, I depended on him more and more. He lived to be quite old, because he had the best of care. When he suffered a “stroke,” he was put to sleep. I was lost. The year was 1991.

That’s the way to do it

Marshall Branch The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints Community members working together literally proved the old proverb, “Many hands make light work.” When Tom and Edna Washburn discovered they needed to move their 30’x60’ greenhouse, they were just a bit overwhelmed. Then they remembered the saying “lift where you stand.” Tom, a retired maintenance planner, considered what they would have to do to simply lift the structure and walk it over to the new spot.
