Well Christmas is fast approaching. Has everyone got all of their gifts bought? Groceries for family gatherings? And of course trip to tell Santa what you want for Christmas.

After a weekend of storms, I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel. A few days of sunshine and winds, may dry us up a bit. Thankful for the rain. Cooper Lake is full and several lakes in the area are near full too. Thank you Lord. This might mean the drought is over. I heard on the weather last night that last year at this time we had had 3.17 (approx. inches of rain); currently we are 14. (approximate) Wow what a...

I am so sorry about missing the deadline for the past few weeks not much going on. A small world thing happened this week. I got a call from a man in Harrison County asking questions about Brashear Cemetery. It seems that he and his wife are going to come in March to search the Cemetery for her relatives. While talking, I ask their name. Lo and behold, their name was Buckholt. I go you are kidding. My grandmother’s maiden name was...

Elections are over and I say good! Busy day yesterday with the election and so glad so many of you found us at the Brashear Baptist Church. I enjoyed seeing some familiar faces and some new faces.

I will miss seeing Amanda’s smiling face and also will...

It’s another beautiful morning in God’s country. Hope you didn’t miss it. Cooler weather is on tap for the next few days. I think that maybe 90 degree days are gone and surely the upper 80’s are gone too until next year. Sure hate we missed out on the rain. Teresa called me this morning and wanted to say thank you to everyone who came to her mother’s surprise party on Saturday. She also wanted to thank the church for the use of their...

This is such a great place to live. East Texas in the fall, a true fall that is, is beautiful. The cooler mornings are great. I would love that it will not hit 90 again until next May or June. Praying for that to happen. Busy times are upon us here in Hopkins County with the 45th Annual Stew Fest. The Fall Festival is back on the same date as the Stew Contest and there will be a lot of people in town for this event. I think there...

I am not sure but I thought I saw a few geese going over our house on Saturday morning. My grandson, Colby, immediately asked if they were in a “V”. I said no, that is why I wasn’t sure. Would like to think that Fall is fast approaching. I know the dove hunters are out in full force. Hearing shots every afternoon. Tom is putting some new books in the Brashear Free Library. If you liked “The Shack” he is putting another one on that...
