Like most of you, I’m sure,  (except those too young or not born yet) I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that fateful morning. I had been over and visited with Mom and Dad and was walking back to our house. I was just east of the bridge over Little Clear

It’s dangerous to let a fisherman edit copy on Labor Day. But I did my job. I cracked up when I saw Kimball’s report that the El Dorado Springs Fire Department volunteers had operated the boot block for two days and collected $6.86. I called her on the office phone and she added some zeros

Over the weekend, I asked Kimball if she was glad we’re out of New Orleans. She said, “No”. After we drove all day getting away from Hurricane Rita (I think it was), I vowed to never get caught in one again. You may recall we went to Shreveport for a Parents’ Weekend with Adrian at

We had our annual Homecoming Sunday at Concord Missionary Baptist Church. Our pastor, Bro. Howard Hamilton, preached after Sunday School, then we enjoyed a basket dinner. Bro. DeWayne Burdette, who was our pastor for something like 20 years, preached in the afternoon. His wife, Janice, was with him. He said he first came to Concord

Just had a pleasant conversation with City Manager Bruce Roger who is recuperating from having his wrist broken in three places. Come to think of it, don’t think I have ever had a conversation with Bruce that wasn’t pleasant. Right now his wrist is in a cast but the doctor will decide this Friday (or

Picnic over, but all the rides weren’t gone by early afternoon Monday. They were packed up but just sitting on their trailers waiting for drivers. The carnival company seemed to be suffering from a shortage of workers. -I didn’t go to the Wednesday night street dance. In past years we’ve hurried to town to get

While we were in the Evans drive up line late last week, I asked the owner, Kevin McCullough, how Donnie Levi’s book is selling.  He said they had sold out several times and had to resupply. Kevin said, “I’ve got to read the book. I was raised on a dairy farm and milked cows until

I asked Kimball Monday morning what we have to talk to you about this week. She said, “Picnic comin’” I called City Hall to get the name of the carnival company.  A new voice to me, Britney, told me the company is the same one we had last year, Fun Time Shows. -Tickets for arm
