William and Jane Clark had all their children except Boyd and his family in over the weekend to celebrate Mother’s Day.

Dennis and Glenda Scroggins was in San Saba Friday night eating Bar-B-Q at Gages and Bill and Jo Price came in for a sandwich and joined the Scroggins.

Even though both families live at Bend they seldom see each other so it was a good time to catch up on all their news.
