A good rain on Monday was welcome. We were getting pretty dry here. It would have been even more welcome if I had any garden planted. Our tiller has been broken down for a year or more. We thought it was just a needle valve that needed replaced, but when they looked it over they found it had gotten water in the carburetor and frozen and busted it. The carburetor is on back order so I don’t know if we’ll have it to use this year or not. The old saying about the early bird gets the worm might fit here, we should have taken it way back in the winter to get it fixed, but like I have said before, we are world class procrastinators.
Taylor McHaffie represented the 4th grade for Bradleyville School at the Mark Twain Spelling Bee last week and came home with first place. Jacquelyn Clemans also won the first place for the first grade division. I heard they did an awesome job. I know it would be very nerve wracking for me to stand in front of everybody and spell.
Several students from the music department at Bradleyville School spent last Friday night and Saturday in Columbia competing at the state level. Ellie Combs got a #1 rating for her saxophone solo. Several got #2 and #3 ratings, but I won’t name anybody because I might get the wrong details for the wrong person. More details will be in another part of the paper I’m sure.
