Miller Grove News
by Brandon Darrow Gardens are on the down-hill now that summer is slowly turning to fall. I have a few pea plans left and my okra is in full swing. Other than that my garden is gone for 2016. Sunday afternoon (Sept. 18) I stopped by Michael and Tammy Anthony’s open house. Construction was finished not long ago and I know they are proud to be all moved in.

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...

Since I did not have any News last week, I am playing catch up. Elton Stewart called to say that they had a great showing for the Stewart Family Reunion. His cousin that was related to Earline came and she is 94 years old. It is always great to visit with family. Well, I have something I want to share with everyone.

Fall is here and the days are getting seemingly shorter. Before we know it, it will be time to roll those clocks back one hour as daylight savings time ends. Another thought that enters my mind when I think of autumn is the school’s annual Fall Carnival. This year it is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 24. Saturday was Farmers Electric Cooperative’s annual business meeting. This year the meeting was held in Rockwall. I think there were...
