Leesa, Wow you have been busy. I was acctually starting to worrry about you and was thinking of giving you a call. But your back!!
Leesa, nice localism piece. I've got one to do along similar lines. I like our new jobs as photo journalist. Keeps me out of trouble!
Leesa,
I am glad to see that you had time to do this today, I was starting togo thru withdrawal not seeing anything from you in a week.
I'm waiting to see the church.
Leesa, I think that event that highlights the energy savings programs for many is well worth going to. Who can't use the savings nowadays??
Hey Leesa! I am glad you posted the events of the week; was wondering if you were okay. I haven't been on AR in a few days myself. Hope all is well there... take care.
I had to read the Firing Range Training twice! I thought it was open to the public! That would have been cool to get some firing training from the police! Glad you are ok, I figured you must have been busy. Like you, it was busy here too. I am exhausted! Take care!
Great Local Info again Leesa. I missed you. Have a great week.
