What your neighbors are talking about on social media

• I'm so thankful for the lady with the umbrella at Kroger Tanglewood yesterday, during the thunderstorm, who followed me to my car, held her umbrella over me, handed me the bags of groceries from my cart so I could put them in the trunk, and even
  returned my cart to the store. What a blessing she was! May God bless her abundantly for her kindness! (Nextdoor Penn Forest)
• Found Dog - Crescent Heights subdivision.
  We found a sweet young lab with a collar, but no tag, if anyone is missing a dog please DM me. (Nextdoor Chaparral)
