Bring on 2026! I hope it’s a very happy, healthy and prosperous year for all of us.
School is back in session with the downhill slide beginning now through the end of the school year. Parents of seniors are getting weepy with all of the “lasts” they will experience with them, and the kids themselves can’t wait to get out!
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Peggy Jo Patten. Services were held Wednesday, 1/7, at Sayre Methodist Church with burial in Lone Oak Cemetery.
Sympathy is also extended to the family of Kirby Abla. Graveside services were held last Monday, 1/5, with coffee and fellowship to remember him at the Erick Baptist Church afterwards.
Birthdays to celebrate for this issue (1/10-1/16) will be: 1/10Tara Nobles, Dally Mayfield, Charla Holland, Rhonda Sites & Jason Lucero; 1/11-Kemper Woolsey, Dylan Stall & Tres Benevides; 1/12-my daughterin law, Chelsie Pritchard, and my granddaughter, Landrie Dawn Pritchard, Kayla Allen, Gayla Cantrell & Amanda Hubanks; 1/13-Melanie North, Josh Herzberg, Eliah Melton & Jerry Wilson; 1/14-Jerry Don Smith; 1/15-Glenda Gibson & Marilyn Harris; and on 1/16-Ansley Perry, Jarren Kindsfather & Toni Evans Langster.
