Hello everybody! What a
rollercoaster of weather we have been on the past week. Nothing new
for this part of the country though. Cold and snow, then warm enough
to wear shorts if you want, now cold again for a while. All the time
though we are moving swiftly towards spring. And summer. And fall. It
does go faster and faster the older you get I do believe.
We had such a beautiful
weekend with the warmer weather. I sat on my porch swing several
times just to enjoy the feeling of being warm. I didn't get out in
the yard too much because everybody knows when the snow melts the mud
is knee deep. I have had a cold also which made me a little lazy so I
just sat and enjoyed. Late Sunday evening right before the rain
started I was on the back porch grilling and heard one of my most
favorite sounds in the world, a little peeper.
The weather turned nasty
Sunday night with high winds and lots of rain. I appreciate the rain
but could have done without the winds. I hate to admit it but I still
had three Christmas trees sitting on my front porch. I enjoy them so
much I hadn't put them away yet, but the storm decided it was time.
We heard a crash and looked out on the porch and all three trees had
blown over and several snowmen I had crafted out of lengths of wood.
Time to put them away. Our electricity was out for several hours and
many thanks to the linemen who were out in the wind, rain and
lightning for restoring power. I am very thankful for them all.
Four year old grandson,
Emmett, came home from the hospital and is feeling much better. He
still has to finish some medicine and take some breathing treaments
but the worst seems to be over. Of course he was so happy to get to
come home. Brothers Garrett and Caiden and sister Makenna were also
very happy he came home and were doing their best to get him back in
the groove of things. Their Grandpa Ivan Lawson came to visit them on
Sunday and brought them all a mini-basketball apiece so they were all
practicing shooting and dribbling those balls.
Condolences to the family
of Bert Smith who passed away on the 14th of January. Bert
was a good, kind and quiet man that everyone liked. He served in the
Army when he was younger and then spent the rest of his life doing
what he loved, farming, logging and raising cattle on his family farm
on Beaver Creek. He was always ready to lend a hand to those in need
and loved to visit. He will be greatly missed by his family and
friends.
Congratulations to the
Bradleyville Lady Eagles for taking home first place in the Mark
Twain Conference Tournament held at Bradleyville last week.
Congratulations also to the Bradleyville boys for earning a 3rd
place trophy in the same tournament.
Bradleyville Homecoming
will be on February 2nd. The games start 4:30 with the
Lady Eagles Junior Varsity playing Forsyth, next game will be the
Varsity Lady Eagles playing Forsyth also, then a Varsity Eagles game
with Everton. The little girls, pre-school through 6th
grade will be doing a group cheer sometime between games. I'm sure
there are other activities planned as well. Come out and support the
ball team, they are doing very well and are such fun to watch. Also
the pep band will be playing and that is always a good time to get to
hear them play. You might even get to catch up with old friends you
haven't seen in a while.
