March 6th. Well, we just finished watching a storm, possibly tornado go just south of us on the radar. We only had rain here. I think some places had some storm damage. Thankfully we didn’t. This week we have had some beautiful weather, but looks like it is going to change. This next week looks chilly and even mentions possibly snow by Friday, well it says wintery mix. I’ve been busy this week watching 4 of Ethan’s soccer games and 2 of Marshall’s basketball games. I sure enjoy watching the kids play sports. We have been watching some basketball games on TV too.

Searcy County Retired Teachers will meet this Friday March 11th in the Leslie United Methodist fellowship hall. Luncheon will be served at 11:30 by the United Methodist Women of Faith in the Fellowship Hall.

There’s an eclipse coming in April 2024! Much of Arkansas will be in the path of totality, meaning two things: 1. We will get to experience a total eclipse right here in Searcy County.

I have heard it said that we are all mosaics of all the people who mean the most to us. There are habits or customs we all do that are woven from our family tapestry. It could be eating a particular food because your grandmother ate it when she needed comfort or carrying a handkerchief as your dad did every day of his life. These sentimental pieces of people make us feel closer to those we have lost and keep them alive in our hearts.

The House will begin the 3rd week of the 2022 Fiscal Session on Monday. The second week was an abbreviated one due to the federal holiday and winter weather across the state.

How did y’all get through the sleet/ice we had last week? We managed very well. Bill was scheduled for foot surgery and we were grateful the roads were cleared in time for the trip to Conway. His surgery is complete and while he’s in a lot of pain, he is healing well. We go back to Conway for a surgery follow up on Tuesday.

February 27, 2022 Hope this finds you all well. We have survived another ice storm, hope it is the last one this winter! I think I said that last time too. Surely spring will be here soon! At least February is about gone! Last Monday the 23rd, was Ethan’s first soccer game!
