The Rock Wall

We will have services Easter Sunday morning at Concord Missionary Baptist Church with the pastor, Brother Howard Hamilton, preaching after Sunday School. He volunteered even though it is not a regular preaching Sunday. Then Sunday night at 7:30 we will start a revival meeting with Brother Alan Collins helping. Concord is located at Cedar Springs six miles east of El Dorado Springs on Hwy. 54, then north on Hwy. DD 1⁄2 mile. Everyone welcome.

• It’s taking a little while for me to settle in after 10 weeks of a forced vacation, AKA hospital and nursing home stay. My pain is in the area of my hip pockets because I have either been sitting or in bed all that time. I still don’t have enough balance to walk without something to lean on to keep me upright.

• Thank Goodness the Easter Egg hunts are taking place this year to entertain the youngsters.: At 5 p.m. Wednesday on the Cedar County Memorial Hospital west lawn; Saturday in the Park probably beginning about 9:30 a.m. when the breakfast concludes and beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Schell City Park.

• I sent several copies of last week’s paper with Madison Mays to Park View in Bolívar where I did therapy and launched to Springfield for several surgeries. I called Dana Johnson, my Arranger at Park View I mentioned last week, to confirm she received her copy. She said she loved it and wants to write her own column. Sounds dangerous. I told her to go ahead. Some people probably think it’s dangerous when I chat with you with nothing particular on my mind…or with something on my mind.

• Kimball and I are scheduled to get our second Covid virus shot. Dewey Hansen, our friend and tech guy, and his 87-year-old mother have taken both shots with no side effects. Kimball and I had no reaction to the first shot.

• We met our grandson, Nash, for the first time last Tuesday. He almost slept through it all.

• I think it’s about time to start listening for gobblers and deciding if I want to try to do anything about it. KL
