Hi Everyone,
Hope all you Father's had a great Father's Day. My husband, I, and my son, Sam had lunch at the William R. Courtney State Veteran's home on Father's Day. Had a great meal with my brother, Jerry who always enjoys company. His daughter called him which made his day . My brother so appreciates whatever is done for him.
Want to tell everyone that there will be a July 4th parade in Belton, Texas. This is the small town next to Temple, TX and they have the best parade in the whole state because we have Ft. Hood calvary and other army who will be in parade. For information go to http://www.rodeobelton.com/. Parade is on 7-4-11 @10:00 a.m. There is also a PCRA rodeo going on and a celebration at Yettie Polk park with food booths and craft booths. Live music also at Yettie Polk park. So if you are in the area, come to Belton, Texas and have a great 4th of July celebration.
Temple, TX fireworks at Miller Park is still up in air as our county, Bell has a ban on fireworks as of today's date and they still do not know if we will have fireworks, Ft. Hood will have fireworks as they are Federal. All of the fire work business owners are upset because Gov. Perry placed a ban on fire works in Central Texas as we are critically dry. Now East Texas is going up in flames with 20,000 acres burned. They say the trees in the forest are bursting into flames from heat from sun. We have had 102-105 degree temperature in our area. Fires are still burning in west Texas. East Texas has heavy forests and that is where most of our logging is done.
My poor tomatoes are not growing no matter how much we water. This happened last year due to the heat. Last year my tomatoes did not grow until September and I had loads of tomatoes by November 2010. I guess the same will happen this year. Have been getting loads of squash and have started putting up in the freezer. Okra growing well because of heat.
Next Tuesday I go for my gel knee injection at Scott & White clinic which I dread as it does hurt even though the area is deadened. But the process works for six months and my knee gives no problems. I hate needles and they use a long one with a large tip. I was amazed at how well this procedure has worked. Also I think my exercise of 4-5 days a week in water aerobics has attributed. Scott & White, Temple, Tx is one of top 100 hospitals in U.S.
We were talking at exercise class about Palo Duro Canyon, Amarillo, TX. They have a great stage play of the musical, "Texas" acting out the story of Texas in the canyon. This plays through June 14-August 20, 2011. Web information is http://www.texas-show.com/ and phone number is 806-655-2181. Play is at 8:30 p.m. each Tuesday and Sunday. Other information can be found at http://www.palodurocanyon.com/. The weird thing about this canyon is all the land going to it is so flat until you come to the canyon and then you have the canyon in the ground which is a surprise when you see it.
We will be taking a Texas vacation this year to save costs as I have been saving to pay off my husband's Chevrolet pick-up. After I pay it off, then save again to buy a handicapped van for my brother, Jerry as he is limited when it comes down to transportation. He has to be transported in a wheelchair
Well, that is all the new things I can think of. Hope this information helps some people.
Remember read your Bible daily, put Christ into your life and go to a church that truly teaches the Bible with truth.
In Christian Love,
Marie
