Hello all, on this lovely Sunday afternoon. The leaves here in the Boston Mountains are beginning to turn the beautiful shades of autumn. The temperature is beginning to cool down a little. Just a lovely day for a drive, which we did this morning after church. I, and several others, volunteered to help at the Northwest Arkansas District Fair. Today entries were picked up. Was a good turnout and things went very well. I enjoyed working with Bonnie Landis, Claudia Busbee, Ashley from Extension, Pam Coyle and Susie Hall.

Another busy week in our Genealogy Department at the Library. We have had folks stop in to look around, some came to research on the microfilm machine, others were researching their families. Some folks wanted to look at some of the photos we had archived. One family that was being researched was the Henry family and families connected to them. Also, we had a couple of inquiries about the Honeycutt family.

Visited with Ronnie Knapp today. He’s getting plum skinny, and we talked about learning to cook for one after years of cooking for more. The loss of appetite that goes with it. He’s fighting it though and is gaining slowly. Hang in there Ronnie, it’ll get easier.

The Snowball Civic Club Poker Run went over very well on Saturday. They hosted 187 buggies and fed over 300 folks. There was a meal of pork sandwiches and the fixings prepared by Kelly and Nikki Small. Huge thanks to Cathy Griffin for doing a majority of the leg work pulling it all together. This event wouldn’t have been successful without the work of volunteers and the generosity of the landowners in Richland Valley.

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. Wow for a moment I thought Summer was going to sneak in the back door this week. We had a couple of days of very uncomfortably hot and muggy days and air felt heavy like it was going to just rain any minute and it did a little bit, but not enough to cut the grit in the air. The weather has cooled off again. We did have a couple of really beautiful days that remind me of how much I love the Fall here in the Ozarks.
