I have a friend who says
she has had a hummingbird or two already this year. Brave or foolish
little birds. I guess when their instinct says it is spring, they
head north no matter what, but Mother Nature surely didn't get the
memo this year. I will have to get my feeders put out so there will
be something for them to eat around here.
Turkey season is now going
strong and several people have found a few mushrooms but the cold
weather that just won't go away is hindering the mushroom production.
If it warms up this week they will surely pop up everywhere. I have
noticed the dogwood trees are right on the verge of flowering out so
the suckers must be getting ready to shoal. Scott Collins says a good
mess of fried mushrooms and fried wild turkey breast would be very
welcome at his house!
Lois Lux is spending some
time here at her home for a few weeks. She has been taking care of
her mother who lives in Nebraska for the past few years and makes
several trips back and forth each year. She showed me pictures of her
brother's ranch in Nebraska this past weekend and they had gotten
several inches of new snow. She said their cows were due to start
calving any time and they were sure hoping they held off just a
little while longer.
Tanner and Amelia Lux,
along with their adorable daughters, 3 year old Lily and 6 month old
Nora, visited New Mansion Church last Sunday and Lily is spending a
couple of days with Grandma Lois Lux.
Pastor Jeff Marsh and
Pastor Corby Lux switched things up last Sunday morning. Pastor Jeff
taught Sunday School and Pastor Corby brought the message for the
worship hour. Hayden Crouch brought the message on Sunday night. It
is nice we can switch things around once in a while.
Please keep Julie (Bird)
Murray in your prayers. She is the daughter of the late Kim Bird, and
granddaughter of Margaret Herd, and was in a serious car wreck a few
weeks ago. She suffered serious injury and is paralyzed from the
waist down. I am sure she would appreciate your prayers on her
behalf.
Ron and Sheila Hunsaker
and daughter, Trinity, are home for a while from where they serve as
missionaries in Nicaragua. I know their families are glad they are
home for a few weeks.
I am looking forward to
the all school reunion which will be held on June 9th this
year, starting at 6:00pm. Anyone who ever attended school at
Bradleyville School or worked there in any capacity is encouraged to
come visit. The Beta Club is going to be offering food for a
fundraiser at this event. A person or persons will be recognized for
their contributions to the school and community. Eddie Hunsaker is
president of the Alumni Association and will try to answer any
questions you might have.
A very special Happy
Birthday wish goes out to my aunt, Betty Swadley who had her 91st
birthday last Monday, April 16. Aunt Betty and Uncle Jay worked at
the school as custodians for many many years and drove the
Kindergarten bus when there used to be only a half day of
Kindergarten. Aunt Betty now lives with her daughter, Judy, just a
few hundred feet down the road from where she has always lived.
I visited a while with
Doris Manes online, asking her about a mutual family connection
through the Gott family while I was working on the family tree and
had a nice visit with her. Doris lives in Rockport, Texas now and is
in an area that was really hit hard by Hurricane Harvey last year.
The area is recovering but still is showing the signs of the
devastation Harvey caused. Doris is planning to move soon to be
closer to her daughter, Jackie and family in Little Rock. Some
friends and I have been trying to talk Doris into coming to visit us
here and if she will come we are planning to treat ourselves to a
delicious pork tenderloin sandwich and some Springfield style cashew
chicken. Doris says she can't find either dish where she lives.
Our neighbors, Mike and
Nancy Howie recently celebrated their 34th wedding
anniversary. Congratulations to this wonderful couple.
It was nice seeing several
friends we don't see very often when we attended several services of
the White River Association of General Baptists last weekend. We
heard some awesome messages and some wonderful singing. It is a
reunion for many that come year after year. It was a very special
time on Saturday morning when Frieda Holt was recognized for her many
years of service to the Association.
Have a good week and call
me if you have any news.
