Not a cloud in the sky and no promise of any rain. Rain is badly needed. If anyone out there knows of any kind of rain dance or magic word to say in order for it to rain please get it on.

Georgia Morris is in the hospital in Dallas suffering from mini strokes, Rayford Brister of San Antonio is having medical problems with his heart and is home, Emerson Brister was in the hospital for a few days having test run. It was found he had an infection and he is now recuperating at home. Keep all of these people in your prayers.

Larry Max Hensley of Midland was a recent visitor in the home of Bill and Jo Price. He enjoyed playing golf at the San Saba River Golf Course while visiting.

Saturday a shrimp boil was held by Mike and Ann, Toby and Vicki McWilliams; about 50 people attended and enjoyed the shrimp. If the oil thing in the Gulf isn’t cleaned up soon it maybe a long time before anyone will be able to enjoy the shrimp and oysters that come from that part of the country. Maybe that is what prompted the shrimp boil Saturday.
