TBW Daily Diary

Heat and humidity is back with a vengeance . . . Startled and sadden to hear of the death of handyman Lem Woodring of Enola. He was expected to do some repair work for us later in the month . . . Bob and Betty's Christmas party was a smashing success. Bob whipped up a delicious ham dinner. The porch was decorated with a lighted Christmas tree. Sabrina and Felix Hess came by to admire the Santa Claus-snowflake-candy cane decorations. Ed and Martha Zook wished all a Happy New Year. I had meant to take a picture but was having so much fun that I forgot . . . Have just heard reports of another burglary in the 700 block of North Second Street. Also was told that there was a mugging with multiple suspects late in the evening in the 200 block of Forster Street and that last night vandals destroyed planters and stole the contents in the 200 block of North Street . . . The mayor needs to assign a special undercover task force to patrol this area . . .
