Neighborhood Watch 

It is the holiday season and that means everyone needs to pay even more attention to what is going on in the area. Recently gates have been found off the hinges into private property. The game warden has been alerted to the activity.

If you see anyone on someone else’s property, please contact the land owner. If it is OK, then there is no harm done. We all have to pay attention and help each other out. Muldoon is a small community and we have to pull together to keep the area safe.

Out and About 

Pam Sheffield and her two daughters, Sarah and Allison, recently took a trip to Ruidoso, New Mexico. They met other family members for a girl’s weekend to celebrate the birthday of Pam’s stepmom, SuZanne. There were 12 girls total that gathered and stayed in a beautiful three-story cabin on the side of a mountain. The scenery was beautiful with lots of elk and deer all around. The girls went shopping, ate out at restaurants and played lots of games. They enjoyed the hot tub as it got cold at night. A special ring was given to SuZanne, whom they affectionately call MamaSu, for her birthday. The ring had the four names of her daughters with their birthstone beside each name. She was thrilled and so excited to receive this gift. Lots of wonderful memories were made over the weekend.

Lane Rightmer arrived for Thanksgiving week from Waco to her parents, Jennifer and Clay Rightmer’s home. She is home for the week to help her mom get ready for Thanksgiving dinner.
