by Marge Zink and Julia Snethen

Morning message at the Rockville United Methodist Church was by Pastor Larry Sorrells entitled “Bring Joy to the Journey” from Mathew 11-16-30. You are always welcome to join us for worship at 9 a.m. Sunday and Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. for Bible Study.

Mt. Zion had a much-needed rain in some places more than others. The corn is tasseling; looking forward to fresh corn. Blackberries are starting to ripen, the soybeans have grown until they are a solid mass of green. The roadside wildflowers are still pretty.

Hope everyone had a safe Fourth of July.

Howard and Brenda Peterson enjoyed Sunday dinner in the home of Stacy and Mike Griffith and Marge Zink.

Dixie Peterson is still doing therapy at Truman Lake Manor.

Wanda Rector spent the Fourth of July with Rex Rector and family in Harrisonville. Rex is doing good.

Over at the Robin Siegismund Farm, things are not running as smoothly as normal. Robin had to use her teacher’s voice when lecturing Belle on barking and having a temper fit when she had to crawl under the deck, which is Belle’s private spot, to replace the air conditioner drain hose twice in one day. Belle had a temper fit, “Robin could understand why Belle liked her spot it was cool and a nice breeze under there and Belle didn’t have to share her space with Petey and Speck, but I will go there when needed” Belle said she understood and thankful Robin didn’t take her treats away.

Brenda Peterson visited Howard Peterson over the Fourth of July weekend.

Thursday, Rockville Hand Quilters enjoyed all day quilting with a delicious noon meal. The ladies accomplished a lot almost finishing one quilt. We enjoyed our ladies who came to visit, Donna Harris, Madline Woodfin and Phyllis Stewart. We always take a break for at 2:30 if you would like to join us, you are also welcome at 1 o’clock to quilt.

Sorry to learn Julia Ann Bock fell and broke her leg. We wish her a speedy recovery.
