This last weekend was
quite an eventful weekend. Our daughter Julie and her kids stayed the
weekend with us while Scott was on his drill weekend with the
Missouri Air National Guard and that is always fun to have them with
us. Lots of playing and fussing between the kids and we usually find
something fun to do. This weekend we decided to all load up and go to
the ballgame, so with the help of Kendra Day we all took off to Van
Buren. All four kids plus us three don't fit in our Jeep, so Julie
and two of the kids rode with Kendra and Grandpa and I took the other
two and we made it there and back just fine. Makenna wore her tutu to
help cheer the girls on, and all had popcorn, pop, and candy plus
whatever else I could cram into my purse. I need a larger purse. The
ride there and back was very entertaining too, with Makenna singing
and talking all the way.
Everybody probably knows
already but I am so proud to say the Bradleyville Lady Eagles made
history again last Saturday when they won their game against Scott
County Central in a big way, thirty two points big. It was a good
game and so exciting. I think most of Bradleyville and surrounding
areas were there to watch and cheer them on. Since they got a win,
they are in the State tournament, the Final Four, and will be playing
against Glasgow at the JQH arena in Springfield on March 9, Friday
morning at 11:00am. If they win that game, they will play again
Saturday, March 10 at 2:40pm for the championship game, again at the
JQH arena. Everybody get out and support your Lady Eagles as they
make history!
My heart was very full at
church Sunday morning as I received one of the biggest blessings of
my life. Our grandson, Hayden Crouch announced that he has been
called to preach the gospel. Sunday night we were priveleged and
honored to be able to hear the first sermon he has preached. His
sermon was from Genesis 22, the story of God asking Abraham to offer
his son, Isaac for a sacrifice and how God stayed his hand at the
last moment and provided a ram for a sacrifice instead. It focused on
Abraham's obedience and faithfulness. It was a sermon I know I
needed to hear again. Our family has always been so proud of Hayden
and what a fine young man he has grown up to be.
I mentioned last week that
little Rhett Gailey had been in the hospital with RSV and am happy to
report he only had to stay overnight and got to come home. His
grandma Kim Norwine said at church he was doing very well.
Levi Lux earned a first
place spot in the Science Olympiad he recently competed in with his
“battery buggy”. The buggy had to go a certain distance and stop
within a certain distance. Now he heads off to state competition.
Levi Lux and Emma Marsh
have also been competing in Taneyville School's archery competitions
and doing very well.
The bridge construction at
Brownbranch is under way but they still haven't knocked the old
bridge down. I won't report on it much because the last time I did I
got it all wrong. I thought they were making a drive around the Caney
side bridge but you can still drive on the highway right up to State
Hwy W and turn. I am afraid I sent the propane truck driver around
the ridge with my mis-information so won't say anymore.
Call, text, e-mail or
facebook me with your news. Until next week, be happy.
