DOGWOOD ACRES, 08/25/08
Hello friends. News was a little slim last week and will be again this week, due to time issues. Doesn't everybody have time issues? Of course, and that is not a very good excuse. I went to San Antonio last week for a real estate seminar and got home late Saturday. Sunday is a day to spend at church and with our family, so by the time Monday got here, a mountain of work waited at the office. Work is a good thing and I am thankful for the three closings that I have this week. I have returned phone calls and emails all day and still have a few that will have to be done Tuesday morning. In fact I am writing so late that I may be too late for publishing deadlines.
Glenette Brown called and asked me to mention that the Bilyeu Reunion will be Saturday, September 20, beginnning at 11:45 a.m. That is still a few weeks away but many people need some time to plan work or vacation schedules.
Something a little closer is the Waymaker's 50th Reunion Concert on Thursday, September 4, 7:00 p.m., at South Haven Baptist Church in Springfield. Those of you who have been around these parts long enough to remember the Waymaker Quartet know this is something you don't want to miss. If you are a newcomer since the 1960's, and like the quartet sound of those days, I promise you an evening of Gospel Music that will be a blessing. Big Smith Band will be accompanying their parents at this concert so it will be a nice mix of young and old.
In a recent email from Gary Gideon, son of Herbert and Bessie (Rossner) Gideon, I learned that Bessie is going to be off her feet for a few weeks. A mis-step got the best of her and broke her right leg just above the knee. The surgeon expects her to be walking within 3 months, back to her old self and climbing stairs within 6 months.
Lone Star Church gets a facelift as several of the older fellows spent a couple of days scraping and getting it ready to paint. It should be done before the homecoming in October.
Bill and Christie had Steve and Anita Biggs, Clint and Abby over for dinner Saturday evening. I don't think there was a birthday cake, but the birthday boy was Steven, who has reached the big 40! I wonder if he realizes that is almost middle-aged? I expect he would say if he is middle-aged, then just what does that make me?? Happy Birthday Steve!
Bye for now.

I do believe that is exactly what Steve would say. :)
