News For the Week of December 3, 2014


We got lots of Christmas lights put up in the warm beautiful weather on Saturday and Sunday, just in time for sleet and ice on Monday. It was nice to have the warm weather to decorate and we could actually feel our fingers this year compared to a few years in the past when the wind was blowing and it was freezing. It has to come this time of year but I sure do dread it. One nice thing about getting older it seems like winter goes past a lot faster than it did when I was young. Then it seemed like years between Thanksgiving and Christmas and now it seems like a blink of the eye.

Our Thanksgiving Day was wonderful. Lots of family and friends and fun times. Lots of food, probably too much but it sure was good. On the other hand, it turned into a not so good day for our grandson, Hayden. Hayden was injured in a freak accident on the last Saturday of deer season while cleaning a deer and the hide gave way all at once, the knife slipped and stabbed him in the abdomen. His parents took him to the ER and he got stitched up but a large hematoma formed and got infected and was also pushing on his insides and he was in a lot of pain. So he tried to enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner with the family but his mom could tell he was in pain and by the time they got home he was in a lot more pain and the decision was made to go back to the hospital. He was admitted and started on IV antibiotics every four hours. He finally got to come back home on Sunday afternoon and is feeling better but still can't go back to school for awhile or play basketball. Of course we don't care about the school or basketball just as long as he heals the way he should.

The Bradleyville Invitational Tournament is going on at Bradleyville School this week. The games started on Monday and continues on Thursday and Saturday. Ballgames next week are the boys at Galena on Tuesday, December 9 and the girls have a game at home with Bakersfield on Thursday, December 11.

New Mansion Church will have a Christmas program on Sunday, December 14 starting at 6:00. I'm sure there is a wonderful time planned for all.

Birthdays for the coming week include: December 4: Bill Johnson, Jacklyn Clemans; December 5: Kyle Laughlin, Joshua Strahan; December 6: Staci Burton, Paitin Combs, Kelli Johnson, Amy Mills, Erin Wyman; December 7: Ellie Combs, Seth Combs; December 8: Michael Howie, Tracy Sherrow; December 9: Sara Blair, Tom Burkhart, Bill Box; December 10: Hannah Blair, Donna Horner.
