The trees this fall have been absolutely gorgeous. The high winds we got a few days ago blew a lot of the leaves off the trees, but there are still many brightly colored leaves and many trees are still green, so we will have a display for a while longer. I have a young red maple tree in my front yard that was about six feet tall when I bought and planted it around eight years ago. It has grown very well and it’s around 15-18 feet tall now. It hasn’t been very colorful until this year, but this year it is starting to show its colors. I was starting to suspect it might not be a red maple but a silver maple, which are scattered all over my yard. I like them just fine, but wanted a red one. Red, orange, yellow and lots of green left too. Whatever variety it is, I like it.
The Hunsaker Family Singers were at the Protem Union Church Sunday morning, where Ed Hunsaker is now the pastor. Besides Ed and Leona, their daughter Kayla Combs sings with them and also Melanie Whittaker. They sang at our church back in June, but we were gone to a family reunion and missed them. I’ve heard all of them sing individually or in a duet, but I hope I get to hear them all together sometime soon.
Well, my mistakes continue and I have to apologize again. I said last week that we would be going to the FFA chili supper and auction and mistakenly put the wrong date for it. It actually will be on Friday evening, November 9 starting at 6:00 pm, with the auction after the chili supper. The Alumni ballgame will be on Thursday evening, November 8. For more information you may call the school at 796-2288.
I don’t have any excuse for all the mistakes I have been making, only an explanation. I try to write the news at the last minute before the deadline and then I am in a hurry trying to get everything in, seems like I’m not a good multi-tasker.
Hayden Crouch got a nice little buck with his bow last Friday morning. It was just the right size to be tasty.
New Mansion Church will be having a Fall Festival on Saturday, October 27, starting at 1:00pm and lasting until the evening, sometime around 6:00pm. There will be singing starting at 4:00pm, lots of food and games, everybody is welcome. The next day, Sunday, October 28 will be the hayride from the church to the Caney picnic grounds with a service on the mountain starting at 4:00pm. There will be a potluck dinner immediately after church and the hayride will start around 2:00pm. For more information about either of these events you may call Cindy Marsh or Belinda Wyman.
My birthday and anniversary lists are old and I am revising them. Some of the names on the lists are familiar, but I don’t really know the people the dates are associated with, so if you would like your name to remain on either list and you are not sure I personally know you, please give me a call at 796-2651 or e-mail me at karencase.55@gmail.com. I’m not really sure if I will even continue with the birthdays and anniversaries, but time will tell.
Birthdays for the coming week include: October 24: Mike Hunsaker; October 25: Tim Stafford; October 26: Susie Sims, Megan Taylor; October 27: Justin Adams, Kenton Wiggins; October 28: Bubba Taylor; October 29: Bo Bonner; October 30: Margaret Dalton, Dee Hodges, Walter Rogers, Sandy Ross.
