Hello everyone from Zack, hope your week has started off well.

Hello to you all. Hope you are doing well. Ray and I are fine. Today is cold and windy, might not seem so cold if the wind wasn’t blowing. It says 43 degrees, but its still cold.

December 3: Today is Tuesday. It is 38 and sunshining. I went to the Mountain Wave office, and I visited with Charity Rolen there.

Good morning and welcome to winter! The holidays will soon be here. Keeping busy plotting Christmas baking recipes, trying to decide on main dish. I’m thinking venison. It’s not like we don’t have enough.

If you’re considering shopping the Snowball General Store, your days are numbered! We have December 13, 14, 20, and 21st left! Probably less by the time you read this! We will be open on Fridays from 1-6 and Saturdays from 10-4. Come shop local!

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the Jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. BRRRR! It has gotten very cold which I am not complaining I much prefer the cold to the intense heat of Summer. The way I see it is that you can always put on more clothes to get warm, but you can walk around in your birthday suit and still be miserably hot. We have not had much in the way of intense weather this week but like many of you who live in the area that can change in an instant.

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the Jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. It has certainly cooled off finally for this late in the year. We have only had to fire up the woodstove twice so far for most of the month of November. We even ran the air a few days in the early part of the month. Now it seems that winter is upon us. I am not mad at the cold weather I quite invite it after a really hot Summer.

Donald Still (or Froggie as I knew him when we were kids) came by to deliver pecans ordered from the Conservation District. There will be pecan pies in the future. We started on family history again. Totally interesting to hear these stories. Ann Lee had her birthday, she’s 94 and going strong. Hope to get over to their house to visit and get into more family history.

Getting back to meeting our Cozahome ‘Old-Timers’, Harvey Page Honeycutt was born in Big Flat, Arkansas. He moved to Cozahome in the 40’s as a one-monthold. His five older siblings (2 brothers and 3 sisters: JC, Melvin, Louise, Obeda, & Marie) remember and have told him stories of his first home here – under the bluff! His brothers remember that they used sawmill slabs to block off the outer open wall to enclose it. They jokingly tell all that theirs was the only house in all of Cozyhome that had running water as it poured steadily off the bluff above their home. Harvey’s mother became ill and passed when he was only 14 months old, and with six children to look after, his father reached out for help with them. Eventually the family moved to the ‘Old Blue Place” to a cabin.

Welcome to December! We have been getting a dose of winter weather lately with these much colder temperatures. As much as I was tired of hot summer weather, I’m not sure I’m ready for real cold quite yet.
