They arrived at the Hall ranch (Yvonne’s home place) on Tuesday evening, August 23rd, and are enjoying cool weather for a few days before returning to Texas.
Doug and Gae Lou (Chapman) Haley, of Crowley, and Jerry and June (Chapman) Vessel, of Campbell, helped Dorreice (Horn) Shuptrine, of Plano, celebrate her birthday. They ordered in pizza and Gae made a “big coconut cake.” Dorreice comments, “Double cousins always have a lot of fun!”
Lawanda Faulks and Ellis and Debbie Dicus just got back from Pennsylvania. Debbie shares, “We delivered Abreeanna Bisenius to Gwyneed Mercy University, in Gwyneed Valley, Pennsylvania. She is going to Play NCAA Volleyball there and go to school to be a teacher. School is outstanding, safe and the teachers we meet were fantastic. Her roommate’s family have adopted her, that made us feel better. We are so proud of her. She has been working on this for over a year and she got her dream.”
