Odds & Ends
by MYRTLE HEIDEMAN
What a beautiful day to have a shower, bridal shower that is, on Sunday, May 20 honoring Kelly Jones, bride-elect of Jacob Hohertz in the home of Sharon Heideman. After several games were played, the guests were invited to serve themselves the beautiful cake, punch, coffee, nuts and mints. Kelly opened her beautiful and useful gifts and thanked each one who presented them. Hostesses for the occasion were Sharon Heideman, Terry Kleen, Carol Schumann, Beverly Kleen and Lois Daugherty.
