NICE YOUNG MEN IN MY LIFE

When I go to Orozco's for breakfast, Jesse Orozco doesn't even ask me what I want. He already knows. I like that as he always gets it just right.

I had a good visit with Jesse Manning who treated me to breakfast. That was very nice of him...and I always enjoy our visits about assorted things going on about town. He's an interesting young fellow and always involved in a lot of good deeds for everyone....he's a great volunteer and just steps in when he sees something that needs doing. He's the kind of college kid, unlike many others, who really enjoys being in Kanopolis during the summer. He knows who he is and the direction he's heading.

When I got home I discovered a beautiful flat of tomatoes, onions and green peppers that Caleb Svaty delivered for my birthday. He's such a great gardener and remarkable for his age. He's known for a long time what he wants to do with his life and all of us in Ellsworth are much better off because of it. All the hanging baskets I bought from him are doing very well, where the others are not. He's got the touch....and a great smile to go along with it.

Two great guys...Jesse and Caleb. I'm very proud to call them friends.
