Hello readers and friends of the Mountaineer Echo, I hope this week finds everyone in good health and happy spirits. Spring has sprung and we are already having temperatures in the mid 90’s. I will say this I was by no means ready for it to get so hot so fast. Always remember with it being so hot to stay hydrated.

We haven’t won a game yet, but we have gone from not getting any points to having anywhere from three to ten runs. So, we are showing improvement. I hope everyone has a wonderful week and As Always remember the Little Things.

Sometimes it takes a major event to spur people into action. And there are times when something occurs that we may feel are catastrophic that in essence become the best thing to happen to us. I often tell people that have lost a job, didn’t get hired, or have had a relationship end that it’s at these times when we are devastated or disappointed that there could very well be something better to come along.

Either way, it’s the time to streamline. But how?
