We finally did get a mess
of mushrooms. Son-in-law Scott brought in a few he had found, then
Bob found a few and finally Bob brought in one more, so I fried them
all and we enjoyed them. They were found while they were out turkey
hunting and I don't think mushroom hunting had the top priority.
Condolences are sent to
the family of Holly Whittaker Young who passed away last week. She is
the daughter of Wanda Whittaker and the late Bob Whittaker. Holly had
battled cancer for several years. Her services were Monday and she
was laid to rest in Eldridge Cemetery. Holly was a year younger than
my oldest daughter and had kids near the ages of some of my
grandkids. She was always such a sweet girl and fun to be around.
Baccalaureate for the
Bradleyville graduates will be held in the school gym on Wednesday,
May 6th at 7:00pm. Speaker will be Corby Lux. Graduation
will be Saturday, May 9th at 7pm. The seniors will be
heading out on their trip to Florida that night after graduation.
There have been many
successful turkey hunts this season. Grandson, Hayden Crouch got a
turkey, Emily Todd, Waylon Stafford, Bub Blair, all got their turkeys
for this first week of season. It goes two more weeks so I guess
there will be plenty more taken.
Bob spent Saturday morning
turkey hunting without success, then spent Saturday afternoon mowing
the Bradleyville Cemetery. The cemetery is one of the older
cemeteries in the county and the final resting place of the son of
the man that Bradleyville was named for. We hadn't mowed it yet this
year and the grass was getting high from all the rain we've had. Ed
Hunsaker was there Saturday also, doing the weed-eating. Ed wanted me
to mention that anybody wishing to make a donation for mowing could
contact him. The cemetery is maintained only by donations.
I also haven't mowed the
yard at my house yet this spring. I did mow two weeks before Easter
to get rid of the leftover leaves but haven't found time to get out
there and mow the grass. The cows get into my yard every day so they
are helping with the grass, but they also like eating some of my
flowers and leave their “deposits” behind, so I don't know if
that is an acceptable trade-off. I talked Bob into putting a cedar
pole fence around our yard several years ago because I thought it
would be so pretty. It is but as the poles have aged the cows just
lunge at it until they break it and come through. Now an electric
fence is starting to sound nice.
Congratulations are sent
out west to the state of Washington to Pete and Novella Knight who
will be celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary on May
3. I enjoy talking to Pete and Novella now and then. I talked to
Novella recently and she said she and Pete were both doing well. They
live in Yakima right next door to their daughter, Wilma. Novella said
Wilma comes over and helps them every day. Pete and Novella grew up
in these parts and are always interested to know what is going on in
this part of the country.
