[dropcap]L[/dropcap]et’s finish out 2016 by spotlighting some special volunteers whose efforts made a memory for about 60 who enjoyed Tour deLights, the party in mid-December for Mountain City’s children and grandchildren.
Cody Taylor filled Loving Mountain City’s Santa suit. Brian Porterfield and The Pucketts tended to the full set of “tour” details - obtaining hay, decorating trailers, driving through the lights.
Yummies were baked by Karen Davis, Deanna Solis, Janet Holt Patterson, Verlenne Monroe, Ramona Brown, Frederieke Risner-Duijsens and Crystal Dixon.
Ron Tom lent a helping hand.
All this was coordinated by the project’s “lead,” Patricia Porterfield, who oversees Loving Mountain City alongside Penny Moulder.
I take “lead” on Christmas decor.
Penny sent word, “Patricia and Pauline did such a FABULOUS job leading their respective projects.
THANK YOU to both so very much for their help and the help of those that they recruited (husbands, neighbors, relatives, etc).
Events like these don’t happen unless our community gets together and makes it happen.
It seems every year it is a handful of people that we can count on and we are soooo lucky (LMC) to have them both.”
Now, taking Mountain City FUN one step at a time, it’s time for a yet-to-be recruited Easter Egg Hunt Coordinator to get to hoppin’. Willing? It’s a ton of work. And, the reward is simply seeing the fun as memories are made.

Speaking of rabbits ... What made you laugh aloud during the holiday season? We cracked up at our gift from my brother. Adorable kissing rabbits garden statuary.
They’re the exact same as the kissing rabbits received from my immediate family in recent years – three other times.
Let’s start the new year, please, with the production of tidbits. Email PTom [email protected] or leave a message at 512-268-5678. Thanks.
Happy New Year.
Love, Pauline.
