Town Talk
Joyce Wells called last week and relayed this story. A couple of weeks ago she returned home around 4 p.m and discovered that someone had left a gift basket on her front porch. The surprise offering contained inspirational books, soup mixes, and assorted candies. There was also a note attached that read To Joyce – Happy New Year! Joyce said that she was thrilled to receive the gift basket and wanted to thank everyone who was involved and wish them a Happy New Year!
