They say you don’t miss something until it’s gone. Today we sit in our homes under restrictions from the government. We hunker down with our Netflix and our homeschool and our travels that lead us no further than the backyard. We watch the stories pouring out of bigger towns and wonder when the bad news will pass, when we can stop worrying about whether or when this virus is going to hit our community.

Homer and I would like to thank all of our family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors for all of the love, care, and kindness shown to us when Homer had his medical emergency. We appreciate each call, text, e-mail, and visit. All of the snacks, meals, monetary gifts, balloons, flowers, cards and haircuts (thanks Camelia!) and especially prayers, will never be forgotten! We especially want to thank our boys, Nathen and Jorden, for keeping our lawn business going, and the extra helpers: Brian Hampton, Drew Roberts, Donald Atkinson, Pancho Ortiz, Zac Horton, and our brothers, Don Horton and Penny Molina, for stepping in for us. We love each and everyone of you! Thank you, Olney! Y’all are fabulous! Love, Homer and Kelly Molina

One of the greatest problems currently in the midst of this pandemic is our schools, both locally and nationally.
