Same old news, no rain in the past week but maybe a slight chance for next weekend. Most people have just given up on their gardens. You just can’t water enough. Our chickens are enjoying the plants that we are pulling up and giving to them.

There were two tables of players at the 42 tourney last Saturday night. Doyle Slaughter claimed first place and Andy Cummings and Bill Harlow came in second. The August tournament will be in Mercury at the community center.

The Busy Bee Quilters will meet on Tuesday this week at the home of Irene Hammett.

The gospel singing will be Saturday night at the Elm Grove community center. We will also have homemade ice cream. Come and join us for an old fashioned good time. If you would like to bring a freezer of ice ream, that would be great. Maybe we will have a variety of flavors as well as singers!

Michael and Marilyn and I went into Brownwood today to take care of some business and were met for lunch by Lanell, Kelton and Hannah Parson. We ate at Hannah’s favorite restaurant, McDonalds.

It was a sad day in Brownwood since the funeral of Lt. Shannon Stone was taking place at 11:00 AM. Our hearts go out to his family. By all accounts he was a fine, young man and I know he will be missed by many.
