Burt is also at home from the hospital recovering from a fall that re-injured his ankle. Please make contact by calls or cards letting them know that you are thinking of them.

P/C Paul Jarvis’ daughter-in-law, Tammie, passed away on September 9 th . Please remember P/C Paul, Cathy and their family during this difficult time in their life. The following poem falls right into the Autumn season. “Fall Is Here”

Fall is here with skies bright blue Brilliantly colored leaves in view. One cannot help but look with wonder To see the Master Painter’s splendor. There’s beauty in the Fall, you see, We all enjoy whether eighty or three. The orange of the pumpkin The corn shucks turned brown The yellow, the russet, Red leaves tumbling down. Then listen, bend your ear near And hear the sounds this time of year, The happy laughter the children make. Yes, it’s Fall, warm weather’s last fling. Enjoy the days, It’s a long time ‘til Spring. The snap and crackle Of the leaves you rake
