We got the phone call early Tuesday morning, May 7, from our brother-in-law, Tom Gough, with the news that my cousin, Murnie Fast, had just died. The Bolivar hospital couldn’t stop her internal bleeding and sent her home where hospice took over. I thought, “That’s a favorite cousin gone.” When Kimball and I got to

I want to wish all mothers out there a very Happy Mother’s Day. My mother spent her last years here in El Dorado Springs at Community Springs. I bet that anyone who remembers her would have never thought that when she was a young woman, she worked for a man who had rental property and

Davis told me seven years ago we were told to hang on to our eclipse glasses. I’m sure they are around here somewhere. I understand there was a controversy concerning the Middle and High School anti-bullying assembly.

March 20 is the International Day of Happiness. Debbie Floyd with the Nine Wonders Optimist Club asked that we inform everyone – so slap a smile on your face and share it with everyone you meet – and you can smile and be happy on other days as well. I know that Easter is only

This seems to be a very busy time of year. There is the same amount of stuff going on – Valentines, daylight savings, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter – same stuff just busier. So busy, I forgot Spring Break. If you want to join a book club, go by the El Dorado Springs branch of the
