No complaints about our weather, no sir… It is so nice to have the windows open and feel that breeze. I think SPRING is finally here.
I know all of our thoughts and prayers are for the people up North around Rochelle and Fairdale. So much devastation.
Have you been to Shakes & Ladders here in Richview recently? I just love all the different types of merchandise they have, so much to choose from. I see on their Facebook page there’s a tall table with four chairs, looks like the old style oak table. Oh yes, and a yellow birdcage, everybody needs a birdcage.
The Lantern Pub will be serving Liver and Onions on Thursday, April 30. Better get there early.

The RUMC Youth Group meet on Sunday evenings from 5-6. Tonight the kids are going to hear about Mary, the mother of Jesus, and bake sugar cookies. There was a request for pizza. If you have small children up thru grade school age kids, send them over to hear stories of the Bible and some good eats.

Plans are being made with the RUMC and the Cemetery Board to hold a Memorial Day Observance on that Memorial Day Monday at 10:00. The RUMC voted to make a yearly donation to the Richview Cemetery. Don and Nancy Russell have been so stewards in the care of our Cemetery, volunteering many hours to the upkeep. If you feel led to make a donation, Memorial Day is coming and the cemetery can always use the money.
