MEADOWS SCHOOL Built in 1906'Twas a weekend of reunions, but I only got to run by Meadows for a few minutes on Saturday morning. It was early with only a few earlybirds there, but I did see Dennis Anderson and his sisters, Doris and Mary Lou. They planned to visit the Keithley Reunion later in the day, but I missed that one.

Rick did a little hand to hand combat with Lone Star Yellow Jackets while weedeating around their nest in the church yard. He threw down the weedeater and ran, but not before five of them nailed him. His hand and arm were swollen for days, and just now getting back to normal.
After the Bilyeu Reunion I got an email from Mary Lee (Bilyeu) Brown telling me about her daughter's Bull Creek Adventure. Karen and her husband, Mike Coleman, left the Bilyeu Reunion early to go search for Enterprise School. They did find it and were excited about that. They also explored Camp Creek and found what they thought was the place where Mary's dad, Elzy Bilyeu, may have been born. Mary said she can't remember when her Grandpa lived there as that was before her time. Her memories are what I like to call "shared memories" as she had listened to her dad talk about those places. Mike and Karen are going back with their mules so they can ride the area and explore a little deeper.
Many will remember when our daughter-in-law, LeaAnn, traveled with the Gospel singing group, Witness. She and Neal traveled with the group for about five years. Neal ran the sound board and LeaAnn played piano, banjo, guitar, and sang harmony. There will be a Reunion Concert with Witness Saturday, October 4, 6 p.m. at Ava Assembly of God. The Kelly's will also be singing and a love offering will be taken to benefit the Options Pregnancy Clinic of Ava. Witness has been practicing as it has been a few years since they have all been together. We are looking forward to it and hope to see a lot of you there.
While Rick and I were buying mums from Lori Roberts at Bloomers Greenhouse, we saw Rob and Anita Dalton and had a good visit. We meet them on the road every Sunday morning, but are always going opposite directions.
Bill, Christie and Colby Biggs went to Kansas City over the weekend and Bill got to go to a Chiefs game with his cousins, Mark Casey and Tom Biggs. The Chiefs beat Denver, so it was a game worth watching.
Neal and I got to be in church with Herman Rossner Sunday and enjoyed hearing him sing and testify. Herman shared some of his Lone Star memories when he and Grandpa Lloyd Crum were little boys. It is almost birthday time for Herman and he will be 83 years old. Bye for now.
