Last week Debra Wood and her sister Barbara Cockrum enjoyed a few days in Branson, Missouri. While there, they saw the Presley’s family variety entertainers. Also, they went to see the group SIX perform. SIX is a group of 6 very talented brothers who sing a ccapela. One brother makes the sounds of drums while the others sing. Debra says, “If you haven’t seen SIX while in Branson, you’ve missed out.” Debra and Barbara also enjoyed shopping and eating at Branson Landing. They were hoping for cooler weather, but no luck.
Debra Wood just returned from a 3-day trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas, with her son Brad, daughter-in-law Kaylee, and grandsons Daegon & Chandler. Debra reports that it was a nice relaxing trip before she begins setting up her reading and music classrooms in the “old” elementary at North Hopkins. “Hard to believe school starts in 3 weeks.” North Hopkins has a new elementary school building for grades Pre-K through 5th grade. Elementary teachers are excited to be moving into their new classrooms.

They attended the closing ceremony on Saturday. Morgan received advanced glider training and got to fly with instructors and also enjoyed several solo flights.

Chip and I visited our son, Delayne Vaughn, in Waco on Friday, the 17th. We enjoyed a delicious meal at Ninfa’s Mexican Restaurant.
