STORIES FOR THE YOUNG AND OLD WITH LOTS OF LOVE

A story book, a story teller and eager listeners both young and old make for love all around. Pre school students from Stepping Stone day care visited the Country Place Village residents Friday to hear Margaret Martin read Thomas’ Christmas Delivery. After the story the children visited with the residents and hugs were had all around. The children signed the big guest sheet and were treated to Christmas treats afterwards.
