Typical late winter
weather here, freezing cold one day, beautiful spring-like weather
the next. Daffodils and crocus blooming, then a little bit of sleet,
snow and then maybe a thunderstorm. The good rains we have been
getting has filled the creeks for now. Wind, wind, and more wind.
Nice weather for flying kites. If the old saying is true, since March
came in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb. I hope so, I am
getting gardening fever. I finally got a few varieties of tomato
seeds planted and several different kinds of peppers. I always have
big plans but the truth to tell, my green thumb is not so green. I am
not a very successful gardener. If nothing else, I enjoy trying.
The Screaming Eagle Band performed
again this year during breaks at the NAIA tournament at College of
the Ozarks. The band has been invited to play at the tournament for
the past several years. Band director, Chris Sprague said they
received lots of nice comments on their performance. That doesn't
surprise me because they are typically outstanding no matter where
you hear them.
I had an e-mail from Dot
Combs and she wrote that no words she could say would ever express
the appreciation she feels for all the prayers and love she has felt
the past few weeks. Dot said that 14 days in intensive care gives a
person a new perspective on life. She says she knows she would not
have survived without all the prayers and support of her friends in
Bradleyville and she misses everyone and looks forward to coming
home.
Just a reminder that the
Getaway Gift Shop is open again for the season, Monday, Wednesday
and Friday, from 9am to 5pm.
New Mansion Church has
been busy practicing for the outdoor Easter play that will be acted
out two nights on March 23-24. Lots of practice and costume making in
our near future. Everyone is welcome to come watch the re-enactment
of the Easter story and stay and have snacks and fellowship
afterward. For more information please call Cindy or Jeff Marsh or
Belinda Wyman.
Scott Lawson has been
calling home two or even three times every night since he started
Tech School in Wichita Falls, Texas. He was only able to call once a
week during his basic training so he is making up for it now that he
has more liberties. He started school a week or so earlier than he
first thought he would, so now that moves the time table up a little
and we are hoping he will be through all the schooling and be home
before Julie has the twins.
