What
a cold and rainy turkey season it has been so far. A few got their
turkeys and many more are still getting up before daylight to get to
their favorite hunting spots to cluck and yelp and try to get those
big birds to pay them some attention. Two
more weeks of season and we hope the weather is better for the last
weeks of hunting.
Last
Monday my sister Ginger and I visited with our Aunt Betty Swadley and
our cousin, Judy Whitaker. It was Aunt Betty's 91st
birthday and she looks great. We meant to spend a couple of hours
visiting, but when we start visiting we lose track of time and two
hours turned into five. We had a great time, had cake and coffee and
caught up on all the family news and solved a few world problems.
I
don't hunt so next Saturday while the hunters are still out trying to
get a turkey I am planning to go to the Master Gardeners of Greene
County's plant sale in Springfield. I am mostly interested in the
Iris Society of the Ozarks, iris being one of my all time favorite
flowers, but am interested in all the plants they might have. It will
be held at the Springfield-Greene County Botanical Center, 2400 S.
Scenic Avenue, if anyone else is interested in going.
Congratulations
to Bub and Kayla Jo Blair on the birth of their second son, Miles
Derek Blair last Tuesday, April 17. Miles weighed 7lbs and 15oz and
was 20 inches long. He was welcomed home by his proud big brother, 7
year old Noah.
Congratulations
to Kourtney Shipley who signed to play basketball with Crowder
College last week. I saw pictures on facebook of the signing and saw
a picture where Kourtney had all her previous coaches standing with
her. Quite an awesome event. Best wishes to Kourtney in the future.
I
went last Thursday evening to watch grandson Garrett in the Mark
Twain Conference Spelling Bee at New Covenant Academy. There were
seven schools represented. Layla Blair and Garrett Lawson represented
the first grade for Bradleyville. Congratulations to Layla Blair for
placing second and Garrett placed fourth in a group of ten spellers.
Congratulations also to Alexis Combs and Riley Isaacs for placing
second and third in the fifth grade class group, respectively. All
the kids from Bradleyville did really well but I don't have the
information on all the others who were in the spelling bee.
Bradleyville
School's art teacher, Camille Dautrich has been on another adventure,
this time to Chicago where she got to see the sights and attended the
play, Hamilton. She is always doing some fun trip, and I really enjoy
seeing all her pictures on facebook.
Call
me with any news you might have. Blessings to all.
