After a week s delay with rain, followed by cold temps and snow, things are finally back on track. The Foothill Sand to Glass Inc. of Union Grove, NC arrived this week and is beginning to assemble the scaffolding that will aid in the removal process.

But they saw the star only because they were not afraid to travel in the dark. The fact is, we cannot see the stars in the bright light of day, but only in the darkness of night; And the darker the night, the brighter they shine. The Love is in the Air Steering Committee of Filipino-American Parishioners headed by Dr. Josephine Lopez. Pancake Breakfast In a sense, all of us are night-time travelers.
