Wednesday night after Bible study we celebrated with cake and ice cream for Bro. Campbell’s birthday, along with sides of sandwiches, chip, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, and drinks. Talked with my favorite sister, “May,” from Conway. She was doing well. Her Kitty, mama Kitty she said were surviving and taking it easy from the heat and soon she can complain about the cold. Other than that, they were making do. Looking for a visit from sisterin-law Mary Agnes Moore to stop by.

Greetings from North Dakota! We have been on the road for close to two weeks traveling with our horses. We’ve ridden in Nebraska, Idaho, Montana and North Dakota. We’ve seen mountain tops and valleys, drank from mountain streams and visited Theodore Roosevelt National Park. But we’ve hit at heat wave in the west while y’all have had some much needed rain and cooler temperatures.
It’s been another blessed week. Cozyhome Church had 27 in attendance Sunday morning. We had a guest preacher (Wayne) and the new neighbors at Cozie visited with their sweet family. We sure hope to see more of them in the future. God came – He always does!
Rumors have started that there will not be a Searcy County Fair this year. The Fair, as in Fine Arts, Photography, Horticulture and Consumer science has never been in jeopardy of not occurring. On the other hand, the Livestock, Poultry and rabbit show has been in question due to no funds By the Searcy County Fair to pay for the insurance required by the City of Marshall council.
Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the Jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. Boy did we get some rain this week. The rain came in the form of a gully washer. It just poured a lot of rain in just a few hours. The creek was way up and the ditches were full, everything got a good drink of water. It has been cool and foggy the past few mornings. I am glad to have had a break from the summertime heat of July. It makes it easier to brace ourselves for the heat of August. All in all, the weather has just been most pleasant.
I have to admit, I’m an accident waiting to happen. Was gathering trash, my foot under the bag and dropped something heavy on my toe.
July 24, 2024 Hello to every one of you, hope you are doing well. Ray and I are both doing okay, but sporting a bit of a cold. Don’t know how that happened, but we should be good to go in a day or two. We have had some beautiful weather lately, in the 70’s and 80’s. Sometimes the humidity is a little high, but sometimes it is good. Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday were wonderful.
