I hope everyone had a Happy Labor Day! My column will not appear in the San Jacinto News Times this week but we will be back to normal next week. Deadline for sending in my column was earlier due to the holiday and I was too busy to get it done!
The Hot Steppers outdid themselves last week when they traveled to Tyler to wish Weldon Bowen a Happy 100th Birthday. He had said he hoped to get 100 birthday cards and instead he got over 400! The Group entertained him with their line dancing and sent me a great photo for the column. Weldon was a Marine in WW2 . This group made his birthday extra special even for a centenarian!
Coldspring Garden Club had their first meeting of the year after the summer hiatus. Thank you ladies for the delicious snacks of fruit, cheese ball and crackers and bags of goodies. The meeting dealt with the new Yearbook, the work of Linda Deeter and Kathy Preston and the new logo which is on the cover was much admired. After that members played 'Flower Bingo'. President Rhonda Sherling was the caller and instead of numbers called out flower names. Members brought plants to the meeting for prizes and used dried beans to cover the delightful Bingo cards which were flower illustrations. Winners chose from the table of plants and I won one too! Next meeting is on October 1 at 1.30 PM and will include a visit to Massey's Homegrown Quality Plants on Shraderville Road in Shepherd.
Shepherd Seniors and Coldspring Senior Centers are working hard since their state income was reduced . Fundraisers and donations are helping and the resale shops are very important to keep things going. If you have not yet visited their resale shops, you are missing out on some great bargains. Go online to see menus and events coming up.
