There’s the old saying that good things come in threes.
That certainly proved true for Terry and Cheryl Beadle. In the last 32 days, they have been blessed with three grandchildren.
Christy (Beadle) and Sean Leahey had their first child, Maddison Sabrina, on Aug. 31, followed by Clinton Beadle and wife, Vanessa, welcoming a baby girl, Janessa Alice, on Sept. 25.
Then Courtney Beadle and Will Goddick had their first child, Gage William, on Oct. 1.
Congratulations to all the parents, as well as to Terry and Cheryl for the increase in their family.

Robin’s 2¢:
A turkey farmer was always experimenting with breeding the perfect Thanksgiving turkey.
His family was fond of the leg portion for dinner and there was never enough for everyone.
After many frustrating attempts, the farmer was relating the results of his efforts to his friends at Greensides Store.
“Well, I finally did it. I bred a turkey with six legs,” said the farmer.
Everyone asked the farmer how it tasted.
“I don’t know,” he replied. “I can never catch the darn things.”
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
