Hello from Zack. Hope all is well with everyone. We were proud to see our grandkids Ally and Logan up from Conway. They came up with Eric and Jenn and visited a bit with us. Dylan and Payton also came by. Always proud to see them. Mae Garrison also stopped in for a bit Saturday evening.
I have nothing remotely cool to talk about this week. There was no vacation, it was kinda hot and I had to go to work! Registration is officially open for the 3rd annual Snowball Poker Run.
Last Sunday afternoon church we met with Chadwicks and were going to try out the new restaurant in Leslie by the Red River bridge. It made a very beautiful site to eat out. Phyllis, Anna Jane and Lori were going to join us. Wouldn’t you know it was closed. Don even called to say they were open on Sunday until three, that was on Saturday. In meantime, Don proceeded to get gas at Misty’s in Leslie and a couple told him they were headed there also, and it was closed. Lori had her mom to phone us and tell us it was closed. They went on to Clinton to shop and we decided to eat at Misty’s. She always has good food and sugar free fried pies.
Rita Blair asked me about my porch progress. Told her it’s still in the works. I did hang wind chimes all around it and got my enamel table and chairs and another seating area. I sure enjoy my coffee drinking porch time. Ryan is so busy that we work on it in spare time. Will get done and move on to the next project. There are several more but only one biggie, the shop porch. Still looking for a welder, I think it will be fun to work with making different things for the yard.
Our Genealogy Department has been busy this week. We have had folks looking thru our microfilm for information about the Gilbert area, we have had folks looking at our old school records, we had folks researching strawberry growing in Searcy County, and looking at Jones and Beavers records, and folks just stopping in to visit. We enjoy everyone taking time to stop in to see us.
Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. The heat has broken for the moment, it has only been in the 90s instead of the 100s. We did get a good soaking rain which cooled things off enough to catch our breath before August. The Dog Days of Summer are almost over because the Dog Star Cyrus is beginning to slip out of view on the horizon.
First, I forgot to say Happy Birthday to my good friend of 50+ years, Barbara Padilla. If you forgot like I did let her know s he had a birthday anyway.
Our house came with many things you can’t put in a real estate listing. Things like tons of maples with spectacular fall color. A valley to look at in the moonlight. A sledding hill for seniors. Fields of wildflowers, and a family of doves. And two barn cats and a dog.
