Take a drive on Route 23A past the O’Hara Ranch. It is not just baled hay for them. The bales wrapped in white plastic have Halloween designs and O’Hara names on them. What fun! Then Nancy and Mike O’Hara’s home has been painted a cheery yellow and trimmed in white. Some auxiliary buildings were also painted. This was all completed in less than two days. Looks good, O’Haras.
Kip Rikard is struggling to get back on track with his health. He feels the upcoming tests will finally find the cause of his condition and a remedy will be forthcoming. Take care, Kip.
