Happy September everyone!! First of all I want to thank everyone who ate dinner at Texas Roadhouse last week and helped us support Ashley Longenecker. The event was a huge success! Ashley was able to come that evening and you all helped the family raise $800!!!!! I know Ashley and her family are very appreciative! Ashley is home now and started school today. She is attending school half days and going to therapy the other half of the day. She still has a rough road ahead of her and still needs all of our support but God has blessed us all by delivering her home safely and that is just one more reason to be eternally grateful to him! We had our Labor Day sale last weekend and it was a big success. The kids are doing great in school and we are all glad to be back on a routine. We are planning some great classes and crops so come by and check us out! I hope to see you all soon!
