News For the Week of March 28, 2018


The daffodils are bloomed out in full force. I love those cheerful yellow blooms. They bloom so pretty no matter what the weather throws at them, they even look beautiful in the occasional late snow. They are some of my favorite flowers. There are several old house places where they are so thick and pretty, some where they have been scattered around, maybe by a bulldozer. It just serves to thin them and they make more bulbs and bloom even stronger.

Lots of people just can't wait for those morel mushrooms to start popping up, and have been out looking for them. I think it is still a little early but several people have found one or two, so what do I know? I wouldn't be able to find them if they were popping up all over. I have never been a very good mushroom hunter.

I visited with Helen Maggard a little while Monday morning and she said her nieces, Judy Sundlie and Peggy Rush were down for a visit over the weekend. They had a nice long visit and lunch. They brought two of their little neighbors with them from the Kansas City area, a little boy and little girl, and the kids had a great time running around and also playing with Jerry Henning's horse. Helen said that her daughter, Sherry Henning would be by to visit later on Monday with Sherry's 15 month old grandson, Hayden. Hayden is Sarah Jo's little boy.

My sister in law, Sara Case called me Monday morning to let me know her brother, Dennis Sartin, had passed away early that morning. He was very well known and liked in the community and while we know he is in a much better place, free from pain and with his Savior, he will be missed greatly. Our heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.

Congratulations to Levi and Hannah (Howie) Elsworth on their marriage last Sunday. Hannah is the daughter of Mike and Nancy Howie.

Tell Tim and Ann Blair congratulations if you see them this week. They celebrated their 41st anniversary last Sunday.

Tim and Ann have new neighbors that moved into their new house last weekend, right up the hill from their house. Dustin Gross, Whitney Sharp and their daughter, Maddie have bought the house that Tim's folks, Bill and Gayle Blair owned.

Last Saturday evening Scott and Julie Lawson had a houseful of people to celebrate their oldest son Garrett's seventh birthday. All the grandparents were there and several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Supper was great, grilled hamburgers and brats and lots of other good food, then a delicious “Minecraft” cake baked and decorated by Julie. Garrett got lots of neat presents and loved every one of them.


Speaking of birthdays, Lance Monholland had a landmark birthday this past week. Be sure and tell him happy birthday if you see him!

New Mansion Church will have a sunrise Easter Service with special songs and a short message, followed by a potluck breakfast. Regular services start at 10:00 with Sunday School, followed by Worship at 11:00 and after church an egg hunt at 12:00. Everybody is welcome at New Mansion and would love to see you there.

The Bradleyville Nazarene Church will have an Easter sunrise service also, meeting around 6:15-6:30 at the Cunningham place where it has always been held. That is such a beautiful place for a sunrise service. Some are bringing their guitars so there will be singing. Bring your lawn chairs. Everyone is welcome.

Call me if you have news. Everybody have a blessed and happy Easter. Until next week.
