"Happiness cannot follow if the things we believe in are different than the things we do."

There are still a few spaces left on the August 12 trip to Beck's Grove in Blossvale, NY for a fun-filled day of shopping, food and music. The trip will include a stop in Vienna and Weeden's mini-mall for coffee and browsing, lunch at Beck's Grove and a musical entitled "That Old Time Religion" consisting of old favorite hymns, newer inspirational songs and plenty of laughs. We leave from the Marion Fire Hall at 7:30 a.m., returning about 6 p.m. Call Isabelle Bushart at 926-7764 for a seat on the air-conditioned coach.

Stan and Isabelle Bushart have returned from a two-week trip to Texas and New Mexico, visiting with their son Kevin and his family in Melrose, NM. While there, they saw their son's ordination into the ministry, visited the Senior Center in Melrose where there were many activities, and also visited the Billy The Kid Museum as well as the train museum. Of course they enjoyed getting re-acquainted with their two granddaughters, Hannah and Hayley, as well.

Debbie and Jay Corpus and children Bobby and Mary Grace of Carmel, IN, have been visiting her aunt and uncle, Stan and Isabelle Bushart. Debbie enjoyed renewing acquaintances with some of her cousins, as well as visiting places in the area where she lived as a child. A lot of reminiscing went on in the two days they were together! The Corpus family has been camping in the Batavia area and began the homeward journey on Saturday.
