School Days! School Days! Good ol’ Golden Rule Days. It has officially begun all around the county. Good luck to all of the educators, administrators, support staff, and the best students in the country. I am not prejudiced at all. Just stating the facts.

I would like to express my appreciation to several people who helped make the Clothes Drive a success last Saturday. If I miss anyone just know that I do know that you were an integral part, here goes, Sulta Manufacturing, high school students and middle school students, FUMC members, truck drivers, and all of the volunteers that came by and hung up clothes. Sorry the names are too many to list and too many to remember each and every one of them. Just know Tom and I could not have pulled this off without your help. I would like to officially thank Brashear Baptist for donating all of the clothes that they had collected. They made several people happy.

I received a call today from Lillian Murray, she is 95. She had a question about some books I recommended by Missy Buchanan. I will be getting her that information she asked for. She also mentioned the Kitchen Hotel that was on Jefferson Street. Can anyone help me out here? Have you hear of it? She said her parents used to run this establishment. She also mentioned the Houston Hotel. She has a lot of stories to tell. If you know Lillian, ask her about these places.

There are a lot of people struggling right now with serious ailments. Please take the time to just pray for healing for everyone in some fashion whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. We all could use a little prayer.

Football season is at hand. Sure hope the temperatures cool off soon. It was hot on Friday night for the scrimmage. Hope to see a lot of you at Rockwall for the first game of the season. I have heard Rockwall Heath is pretty good. We will see.

I have enjoyed seeing the first day pictures of youngsters on FB. If you would like to let me mention a shout out for your special someone on their good year, give me a call at 903.612.8806; or email me at [email protected]; or stop by CR 1119 and we will visit and make sure I get their name spelled correctly. No really, call me or just let me know what is going on in your neck of the woods.
