Marathon Runner Escapes Confrontation Without Serious Injuries By Cle s McConnell Vede e Reporter
On Sunday, October 12, 2014, at about 2 p.m., Kenneth M. Snider, while dressed in running type clothing, training for a marathon and running east on County Road 182, just outside Lockwood, had an experience he will never forget. According to a probable cause statement filed, Snider approached the intersection of County Road 93, where there was a residence, ran past the residence and turned north on County Road 95. Shortly after, while running north on County Road 95 approximately one quarter mile north of County Road 182, Snider
realized a truck approached from his rear. Snider believed it to be friends messing with him. The white truck pulled beside Snider and paralleled his running for a short distance. He stated he did not know the person in the pickup, but waved at him. Shortly, the truck moved closer and ultimately forced him to run into the ditch. The truck stopped and Snider spoke with the driver who appeared agitated. The man in the white truck ask who he was and what was he doing? Snider told him he was training for a marathon. The man replied by cursing incoherently at
Snider and he became more agitated. While he was standing at the door of the driver’s truck, Snider ask the gentleman to please calm down and this is when the man struck him in the face. The man then exited the truck, retrieved a rifle and held it on Snider. Snider backpedaled all the while telling the man to calm down. The man told Snider to run and fired several times in front of him. Snider ran north on County Road 95 while the man continued to follow him and fire the rifle at him several times. He could hear the bullets impacting close to him, feeling a sting to the side of his lower right leg at the
same time. Ultimately, Snider was able to elude the man by running and hiding behind a nearby residence, where he contacted a friend by phone and left the area. Snider contacted Dade County 911 at 2:09 p.m., reported the incident and what had happened to him. Investigating officers found evidence consistent with the statement Snider gave them. Later, officers contacted the man who was in his yard. When they ask him about the incident, he offered no initial or defensible version of the incident. Snider was present in a nearby vehicle and
personally identified the man as the person who shot at him. An arrest of resident Jackie L. Dickerson was attempted. He resisted and an officer deployed a taser to subdue Dickerson. A brown semi-automatic .22 rifle was recovered at the residence. Dickerson was transported to the Dade County Jail and charged with first degree assault, armed criminal action, and resisting arrest. The case is being investigated by Sergeant Jason B. Trammell, Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Trudell News by Blanche Trudell We got over 3.5” of rain this week and the pond in front of our house got water in it the first time this year. The grass is green and growing but the weather is cooler and I even turned on the furnace. WOW! Fall is really here and winter is just around the corner. Our son, Jim Wiss, came to visit this Wednesday evening. He wanted to get his guns sighted in for deer season. He gets his gun and Luke Wiss’s, our grandson, gun ready for the season. I hope I feel up to going out with them again this year. Joe and Jim stayed home and I went on to church for Prayer meeting
and bible study class that I am teaching. I am probably learning more than any one else. And when I got home we played cards for fun. We don’t have any spare money so we don’t play for that. I have been having problems this fall with my allergy induced asthma. Well, that’s what you get when you have family with a history of that problem, I guess. My grandmother (Bertha Ellen Day) passed away with asthma at an early age. She was 47 when she passed away, and I never got to meet her. Monday, October 13, I went to the doctor and I

came close to having pneumonia. She wanted me to go to the hospital, but I talked my doctor into letting me come home. I have had to stay in bed and take my medicine, then, go back on Wednesday. No fun. I am feeling better but I still have laryngitis. I can’t talk and Joe is hard of hearing. What a pair. Here is some news a great grandmother can brag about. Our great granddaughter, Gracie Rush, went to the Royals second game for the American League Series on October 5, 2014, and got to go out and say play ball, on the day before her 8th birthday. They even gave her a Royals face painting, and the pitcher (Collins) gave her one of the Royals baseballs. Her father, Miles Rush, got to throw out the first pitch, but it hit the ground and the whole family has really been teasing him about that. Her mother, Elizabeth (Wiss) Rush, got to sing the Star Spangled Banner
at a Royals game when she was in Fort Osage High School with her choir. Jessica Pecor’s son (Dwayne Pecor) just had his 3rd birthday October 12th. He’s getting to be a big boy. His grandpa, Alan Odell, also had a birthday the same day. Charles Edwards is doing a little better, but he had an ear infection that broke his ear drum. He has about as many problems as I do and he’s young enough to be my son. Let us remember to pray for, all those who are serving our country, (the wars and rumors of wars don’t look good to me) and pray for those in the nursing homes, those in the storms and all the people who have been sick or lost loved ones. Pray that we can keep any more medical personnel from ebola! GOD BLESS AMERICA! May God bless us all!

I Am Not That Bob Glenn Dear Editor, I still get questions about me running for commission but the Bob Glenn running on the Democratic ticket for Presiding Commissioner is NOT the Bob Glenn, aka Bobby Glenn, who lives in Greenfield.
As for some of the bantering going on for the commission’s seat, I’m a little baffled as to how Mr. Glenn gets some of his information. I’m voting for Randy Daniel and it has nothing to do with Demo versus Repub. I’ve always
thought, although it can’t legally happen, that every county office shouldn’t be a Dem versus Repub contest. Thanks, Robert "Bobby" Glenn Greenfield, MO

MY TURN by Bob Jackson A PRIEST’S RETIREMENT DINNER A leading politician and member of the church was to give a prestation and give a speech at the retirement dinner but was delayed. So the priest decide to say a few words. He stated, “I got my first impression of the parrish from the first confession I heard. I thought I had been assigned to a bad place. “The very first person who entered my confessional told me. :He had stole a TV set and when questioned by the police talked his way out of it. “He had stole money from his parents. “Embezzled from his employer. “Had an affair with his boss’s wife. “Taken illegal drugs. “I was appalled that one person could do so many awful things. But as the days went on I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed come to a
fine parrish full of good and loving people.” Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He began his talk and said, “I will never forget the first day our parrish priest arrived. In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession.” Moral of this story” Never, Never Be Late. PERKS OF BEING OVER 60, 70 or 80 No one expects you to run anywhere.

On September 11th, the Lockwood FFA chapter attended University of Missouri Field Day at the Mt. Vernon Research Center. Speakers came to talk to the students about current research the university is conducting. The students went to stations and learned about different agricultural studies. The speaker’s talked about Beef and Dairy cattle, Horticulture, Viniculture, Agronomy, and Energy. At one station the
students learned about fistulated cows. Fistulated cows are cows with a passageway in their side that goes into the stomach which allows researchers to better see how cows digest different foods. The students even got to stick their hands through the passageway and feel the cow’s rumen. One station talked about spraying pesticides and another had a model of a river that demonstrated how energy affects the way water moves which in turn affects soil and crops. Another station
from 1:30 p.m.- 4:30 p.m. at Lockwood Arvest Bank, and on Saturday, October 25th, from 11:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m. at the Golden City Park Building. Bring in your used coats and pick out a “new” one. Don’t have a coat?

Farmers can use them to look at their crops from above and collect crop data, check cattle, and much more efficiently. There were also speakers that talked to the students about going to college and how to prepare for it. The students learned a lot about agriculture research during the day.

My living room and dining room looks much better after Paul painted as well as doing some carpentry work. Still have cleaning to do. We have received wonderful rains, everything is green.

Beeson Earns Eagle Scout Submi ed by Alan Beeson
Roy Beeson, a member of Lockwood Boy Scout Troop #41, has earned his Eagle Award for the Boy Scouts of America. His journey began as a Tiger Cub in the first grade in Greenfield. He advanced through Wolf Cubs, Bear Cubs, and Webelos in Stockton, where he earned the Arrow of Light. Roy then joined the Lockwood Troop and advanced through the ranks of Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and now Eagle. To earn an Eagle Award, a scout must earn a total of 21 badges, be active in his troop as a Life Scout for at least six months, demonstrate that he lives by the Scout Oath and Scout Law in his daily life, and demonstrate leadership in a service project. Roy chose a service project that added military flags to the Dade County Veterans Memorial. Plaques, from each branch of the service, were added that list the branches, founding date, and motto. Roy researched the cost of the project, then made a display board and asked the County Commissioners and Masonic Lodge for permission to do this project. He found funding for

the project through the family of Sergeant Major Guy J. Killingsworth, who were gracious enough to fund the project in Major Killingsworth’s honor. Roy also presented his project to the American Legion, the Republi-
can Women, and the Killingsworth family. Finally, he submitted his proposal to the Boys Scouts of America for approval. Upon receiving approval, the materials were ordered and the project began.
Roy would like to recognize the many people that helped with the raising of the military flags, and extend special thanks to Jeff Julian, Cody Killingsworth, Gordon Julian, Rick Robinson, Paul Walters, Scout Master Lennis Queen, photographer Vicki Gillen, the Killingsworth family, and his parents, Alan and Lynn Beeson. Once the project was completed, Roy finished his paper work, got letters of reference, and appeared before the Board of Review where he became an Eagle Scout. The final step will be to have his Eagle Court of Honor on November 2nd at 2:00 at the Greenfield First Christian Church. The public is invited to attend. The project has been very well received by the community and many compliments have been received. Roy would like to extend his gratitude to the community of Greenfield for its support during his ten year scouting journey. He also would like to thank the military men and women of Dade County for the sacrifices made to insure the safety and freedom of us all.

Greenfield R-IV Brings Local Farms Into The Classroom Submi ed by Doug Gaehle Photo by Cricket Marshall
The Greenfield R-IV School District has received a $10,000 grant from America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. The district will use the money to strengthen their agricultural and environmental science partnership. The project will focus on building a partnership between students at Greenfield High School and local area farmers and ranchers, through classroom experiments. “By making science relevant to the agriculture in this area, we can inspire a generation of farmers and ranchers who value agriculture and science education as a means of ensuring sustainability and high production,” said Sarah Abbott, agriculture teacher for the high school. The district will purchase items to benefit the ag and science classrooms at Greenfield High School, such as sensors and probes, microscopes, dissection kits and soil and water testing kits to learn about agricultural

and environmental issues in Dade County. “I can teach them about how to test soil and water all day and the students might understand how to do it, but by having soil and water testing kits that we can take to a local farmer’s pond, or by them bringing in samples from their own homes and farms, then it becomes something real that they will remember.” said Abbott. “I am so thankful there
are farmers in our community who took the time to nominate our school for this grant. I appreciate that they see the potential in our school and knew this grant would be a great opportunity to provide students with a quality education that will prepare them for the future.” This past spring, local farmers nominated the district for a chance to apply for the grant. School administrators
then designed a math or science-based project for the grant application. Once all of the school district applications were submitted, a panel of math and science teachers reviewed each application and selected finalists. An advisory council, composed of farmerleaders with an interest in agriculture and education, then selected the winning grant applications from a pool of final-
ists. “Agriculture has become one of the most technologically advanced industries, so farmers are very aware of the need for superior math and science education, particularly in their own communities,” said Monsanto Customer Advocacy Lead Linda Arnold. “We are proud to partner with farmers to support the things that are most important to them—schools, youth,
and their community.” The district celebrated receiving the grant on Friday, October 17, during halftime of the football game. Nominating farmers, school representatives and local Monsanto representative Brandon Bruce hosted the event. Grow Rural Education encourages farmers to nominate a local public school district, which can then compete for a grant of up to $25,000. Since 2011, Grow Rural Education has invested more than $7 million to support math and science education in rural school districts across the country. This program is part of the America’s Farmers initiative, which partners with farmers to support education, service organizations and youth in rural America. Visit GrowRuralEducation.com to see the full list of winners for this year. A sister program, America’s Farmers Grow Communities is currently in its enrollment period.

4-H 2014 Service to Communities Recognition Award Submi ed by Tina L. Brownsberger Administra ve Assistant MU Extension - Dade County
The Turnback Trailblazers 4-H Club in Dade County was recognized with a Service to Communities Recognition Award recently from Ina Linville, Director of the Missouri 4-H Center for Youth Development, MU Campus. Each year, Missouri 4-H clubs contribute thousands of hours of community service, helping others, strengthening communities, and
improving the environment. This fall, 170 4-H clubs reported a total of 6,757 youth members and adult volunteers who participated in over 950 service projects, contributing 11,455 hours of community service! The Missouri 4-H Youth Feeding Communities campaign encouraged 4-H members and their clubs to take on hunger relief and awareness. The members/families of the Turnback Trailblazers 4-H Club strengthened our county this past year by en-
couraging local farmers to contribute to the Invest an Acre program to fight hunger in Dade County by handing out water and information at the local Farmers Exchange. Through this effort hundreds of dollars were generated back into the Dade County food pantry with OACAC. They also created and delivered Christmas cards for each resident of the Dade County Nursing Home and while there, did a bit of caroling, too.
They collected personal hygiene items, books, games and snacks for Christmas care packages for U.S. Army soldiers stationed in Kuwait. These are amazing achievements represent a wellspring of generosity and caring on the part of 4-H members, leaders, and families! To find out more about 4-H in Dade County, contact Becky Fay, at the University of Missouri Dade County Extension Center, 417-6372112.
Superintendent’s Minute By Jeff Davis Superintendent Greenfield Schools
The days are definitely getting shorter and we are starting to see some great colors in the trees. Our girls and boys fall sports seasons are starting to wind down and we have finished the first quarter of our academic year. The fall days are a time of transition from the long days of summer to those long cold winter nights. It is the same for our school season as well. We are well past the first days of
school and now everyone students as well as staff are in a routine and expectations are clearly explained and are being met. This is a great time for district administration to look at projects and do planning for the future. We do have some projects that are in the planning and organizing stages we hope to have on table in the near future. The importance of transitioning in any community is an important task and must be worked through and thought out carefully. The
work on the new police station is coming along nicely. It is a great advantage to have our law enforcement right across the street. With the use of their resources as well as the districts we will have excellent surveillance around the high school. I have caught myself thinking of Ecclesiastes several times during the last few weeks. I have heard people speak from it and I often think of it during times of transitions. There is an appointed time for everything. This is a time
for us as educational leaders to keep looking at what we do and see what we can do better. As we prepare for the changing of the seasons and the transitions that will soon follow. Let us remember our responsibilities as good citizens and exercise our privilege and the right to vote. Let’s remember that there is a time for everything and now is our time to use our talents to ensure that we provide the best decisions for any situations that may come before us.

I have received many calls and positive comments on the article about term limits. I will be the first to admit there are those in office who do a commendable job and it is a shame that they are so out numbered by the do nothing group, those that are only there for the paycheck and perks! You will have to agree with the old saying, ”most politicians”-like a baby’s diaper-need to be changed often and for the same reason!” If lying and misleading people will send one to hell there will be lots of politicians by the fire, of course they will have plenty of company! Even though you can’t paint all politicians with the same brush, the process of term limits would seem to me to be the winner if and when it happens. Stranger things have happened. It is kind of like the number of commissioners required in a county, the people would like a chance to vote on it. Ask your self this, if govern-
ment is representing the people, why not let the people decide what is right and wrong? Politicians are either afraid of losing their job or having to perform on the one they have. The Constitution says you can have one, two or three commissioners if the people so desire. The possibility exists that people would be more careful and take a better look at qualifications if the number of commissioners were reduced in smaller counties to one or two. Districts would be much larger and they would have to represent all the people instead of a segment of a county’s population. There are many things besides the commissioners that need to be looked at or acted on at all levels of government. What happened to the consolidation of offices that was talked about so much? Like everything else in government, the feeling seems to be put it off, it will get better, but as you see it rarely does.

Pastor Ebenezer Presbyterian Church P.O. Box 393 Greenfield, MO revmkg@sbcglobal.net
We had a wonderful day at the Fall Fest on the square in Greenfield last Saturday. Thank you to everyone who contributed baked goods and items for prizes and to the businesses who donated items, as well. We had the booth to raise money for Britney Pratt, a 23year-old Greenfield native who is waiting for a kidney transplant to replace her two failed kidneys. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. We were able to raise close to $500 to bring Britney’s kidney donor to Missouri, but more is still needed. If you heard the news this week and were wondering if it is true, I have to confirm it. I have accepted a church in Springfield, and my last day at Greenfield’s Ebenezer will be Sunday, November 16th. It has been a wonderful seven years ministering in Greenfield and getting to know you all. I hope I will have an opportunity to greet many of you in the next few weeks, but if
Challenge To Faith
not, please be assured that my heart will always have a special spot for Greenfield and its people. I will be continuing to write articles on my web log at revmkg.wordpress.com, and I hope you will visit from time to time. Of course, I will still see some of you on Facebook! So now, as I contemplate what to write these last four weeks, I find myself at an impasse. There are so many things to say. It reminds me today of Paul’s last meeting with the Ephesian elders in Acts 20. Knowing that he would never see them again, as he was heading to Jerusalem and probably arrest and imprisonment, Paul sent for the elders to meet with him one more time. Paul spent some of the time reviewing his ministry with the Ephesians, reminding them of how he came to be with them and how he supported himself while there. But then he gives instructions to the elders, instructions
that we would be wise to hear, as well. 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Although he was speaking to the elders, I believe the first phrase is very important to all of us. Keep watch over yourselves. There are so many things that demand our attention in this world that we could find ourselves having moved away from our relationship with God, simply because of the worries or cares of this world or possessions that demand our attention. Spend time in the Word and in prayer on a regular basis. Check your intentions. Are there any ill feelings within you that are growing into a root of bitterness? I learned once, a long time ago, that most people have a very small difference in length of their legs and that, if you were walking through a desert and not paying attention, you would naturally veer to one side or the other
and end up going in another direction. This is the same effect in our spiritual lives. One small thing can cause us to veer off course, and then one day we awaken and wonder how we arrived at such a different place. With Paul, I say, “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified” (verse 32). No matter how conscious you are of your relationship with God, it will not deepen without the Word of God in your life. Pull your Bible off the shelf. Ask your pastor questions. Bring your Bible to church and read along. Avail yourself of the truth and encouragement God has provided in the Word. One person who I strongly respected for his relationship to the Bible was Benton King Wilson. As a lay person in the church, he was strongly versed in the Bible, and as his family shared with me
at his funeral, there wasn’t an evening when he didn’t pull out his Bible to read it before retiring for the night. That is the kind of relationship we need with the Word of God. Spending time in the Word will give you strength for everything the day will bring you and will lead you to your inheritance of faith. I’ll be writing for a few more weeks, at least, but wanted to encourage you with this message: Keep watch over your spiritual life—making sure the little things of life don’t weasel their way into the forefront and lead you away from God. You can do this by spending time with God, in prayer and in the Word. Don’t understand what you are reading? Go to Bible study. Ask your pastor. Get some good books on the subject. Pray for enlightenment and guidance. May you have a wonderful week and find grace for your journey. Blessings!

FORGET-ME NOTS by Gail Leaming I’M BACK....A thank you to everyone who has been asking when I was going to write again. A big thank you to all who checked in or helped as I was recovering and most of all a thanks for all the prayers sent to God above to help us. Ron even has his cast off his foot after 6 weeks. I think, at the last, everyone at breakfast at Cookys were checking to see which one showed up with the cripple look. Shonda always worried about our eating and how we were doing each time and was johnny on the spot to help. She cares so much for all her customers. Makes you feel gooooood. We are slowly getting back to normal. Kamala mowed the yard and Russ did the farm work. I mowed for the first time this week. Ron said it was good therapy for me. Think he just wanted to stop mowing hisself but it felt good being out again. We finally made it to Singerhill last week and got to hear two very good groups play some really good memories of music. I have played a couple of times now so for some of us that is good and the ones that have to listen to me, maybe not so good..? Carl Singer sent me an invite each month and didn’t give up on me to come. Lot of good neighbors and visiting along with the music. Marlo Patterson was there to tell me she had money for me when I needed it for the Alumni Banquet. I had forgotten the treasurer they had elected. Good to know some one has my back. Please let me know if

you are coming to the banquet so we can be prepared for the food. Cookys is going to cater, It is at the Christian Church in Golden City. The Dalton gang is going to entertain us. The date is the first Saturday after Thanksgiving (November 29) and the cost is $18.00. Please try to come. It seems people from out of town come and not many locals but the outof- towners come to see the locals. Help both by being there. Also it is open to all who have served time there as they say, not just the graduates. This is the first week that my calendar hasn’t been filled with doctor appointments and now it is being filled fast with music and election dates. Seems that I have to go to class to work on the election board and for the first time I am being sent to Sarcoxie instead of Avilla to work. DON’T FORGET TO GET OUT AND VOTE. Someone told me that the silver headed people were the ones that were going to shake the nation. Well, I am ready to shake it, aren’t you? I mean, after all, when the latest new voters don’t know what year the war of 1812 was or any thing about our constitution then we are in trouble. I have also gotten our rental about in shape again by a couple from Pittsburg, Kansas. They did a wonderful job for a reasonable price. If anyone is interested let me know if they can help you. Vicky Jones has consented to being my house keeper and boy, am I happy. She is good, too.

Wishing you many more!! In Memory: Cherri Ruark 10-24-2010. Gone but not forgotten. Attention Country Cousins: Christmas Party will be Saturday, November 1, at the beautiful home of Helen & Ruthie Woods in Webb City at 1:00. This will be our last meeting for the year 2014. Bring your Xmas Ornament, Xmas Gift &
Xmas Paragraph. Well, last Monday, Rick & I went to the Springfield Livestock Cow Sale and things are still looking up for cattle owners. If you are a seller, that is good but, if you are wanting to buy, you better be prepared to spend some money. Wasn't that rain we got last week wonderful. I know the ponds were really needing some run off. Rick finally got Stormy's wood stove put up with the help of Adam Terrell and they will just have to get some wood cut now. Rick has had our insert in our fireplace going several times already. He can't handle cool weather anymore so we are both on the same thermostat now. Both cold natured. Was sorry to get word last Tuesday that Maggie Jones had lost her battle to cancer. She will be dearly missed by all those who knew her. Maggie always had a smile on her face and if you ask her how she was doing, she would say just fine. A huge crowd attended visitation Friday night and
then graveside services were Saturday morning at the Antioch Cemetery. Also Ed Taylor of Everton unexpectedly passed away last week. Sympathy goes out to both these families. Bonnie Wood’s husband, Darrell, had back surgery last Tuesday and is home recuperating. A dear friend of our family passed away last week in Moberly, Missouri, at the age of 55. A lot of you will remember, Kim Enochs who use to go with my brother, Scotty Hargis. She always had that big smile on her face & outrageous laugh. Kim was a big part in our lives for many years before going back to Moberly. My sympathy goes out to her family and friends. Last Thursday, Rick & I went to Silver Dollar City for the Cowboy festival. We enjoyed many shows and the weather was perfect. Saturday was the Myers/Sparks chili & stew dinner. Miss Lucy came home with me that morning so she could attend. She ran all day like the energizer
bunny. We had around 60 come and enjoy the good meal and lots of visiting. We had a cousin, Rose Rose, here from Gooding, Idaho. Rose is staying with Barbara Friend while here visiting. After Lucy ran all day, she was ready for a nap so we headed to Albatross where we were to meet Colt. Had just got there when he called and was in a car accident just down the road. Thank goodness nobody was hurt but it did some damage to his van. I was just glad Lucy wasn't with him yet. Friday, the city called us and we had a major water leak. Saturday Shawn Marlowe came and used his back hoe to find the leak across the road. So Saturday night, instead of getting to go to Kenny Ball's yearly cook-up, we were in Springfield trying to find parts. Ended up Home Depot had what we were looking for. Stopped by Mom & Dad's on the way home for a shower and after not having water for 2 days we got it back on Sunday. Hooray!! You never realize how
much you use something until it’s gone. Before heading home Saturday night, we stopped at Village Inn for a late supper and ran into a former Greenfieldian. Nichole Smith, a 2008 GHS graduate, was working as hostess that night & recognized me as Trevor's mom. We had a nice visit. Sunday evening, Rick & I attended a birthday supper in honor of Jean Kirby & Marietta Shoemaker. Talk about some good bakers, now they have some. We had 2 batches of homemade ice-cream and some of the best desserts. And that was after all the chili, soup & homemade chicken & noodles you could eat. Everyone had a good time visiting and Rex West was doing really good, too, after falling at the Backwoods and having 3 stitches put in his forehead earlier in the week. I want to extend sympathy out to Brian Werhman's family on the loss of his wife, Pam. Pam's service will be Wednesday at 11:00 in Lockwood. Seems like we have lost a lot of young peo-

ple lately. Just shows you, you never know what tomorrow will bring. We need to keep the Fury family from Golden City in our prayers. This is who we bought our wood stove from and Sherry now sells real estate. Barbara Watson is home recuperating after being hit by a truck. We wish her a speedy recovery. Just heard about the fire at Dilday's Mill that burnt the Moon home. That was such a beautiful place and I can't believe it is gone. Hopefully they will rebuild. Sunday afternoon was a beautiful day for picture taking and I know a lot of people were having their family photo shoots. I got to take Cody Killings-worth’s & Cameo's pictures. We had a good time even though Cody wasn't too thrilled and he makes a good impression of James Dean. Everyone have a wonderful week and be thankful for what you have. Don't put off what you can do today because tomorrow may never come.
