DOGWOOD ACRES, MARCH 2, 2009
Hello friends. Our granddaughters were here all weekend and on Saturday we pretended to be snowed in, cooking, eating, napping and playing board games. Erin likes to play checkers but I beat her three out of three. She also helped bake a chocolate cake for PaPa Rick's birthday, which is March 3. We took it to Granny Hodges for Sunday dinner.
It snowed throughout the day on Saturday, leaving us with two or three inches of snow. There was still snow in the shady spots of our yard on Monday morning, but this nice sunny day has surely melted every last flake.
Rick's uncle and aunt, Almus and Dorothy Ragsdale celebrated their wedding anniversary on February 28. They have been blessed with 67 years together, twelve children, many precious grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Rick’s mom had a surprise visit from Bessie (Rossner) Gideon and her son, Gary. Gary was taking Bessie back to her home in California and stopped in Cottage Grove, Oregon, to visit Larry Stegall. Larry is the son of Skip and Edna (Rossner) Stegall. After visiting with Betty Jo, they planned to stop in Roseburg to see Bud Essary, so, you see there are Taney County folks scattered all up and down the Pacific Coast.
Bessie had been with Gary in Washington ever since she broke her leg last summer. It has been quite an ordeal for her but she is on the mend now and looking forward to being in her own home again. Bye for now.
