Trixie Grace


This is Trixie Grace, one of my Granddogs. She belonged to the Grace Family who considered her a member of the family, along with her friend, Sparkie Grace.

A few days ago Trixie found an open door and went out to explore. She got into the street and was hit by a car that did not even stop.

It was such a shock for her family. She will be well remembered by the children who made a memory box to keep her toys and pictures in.

We loved you Trixie.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY




Heads up again folks. Tomorrow is Aunt Goldie's birthday, I am not telling her age, she is just 2 years older then me. This picture was taken in 2004, but I think it is a great picture of her.

Happy Birthday Goldie and I hope you have many more years of riding your beloved lawn mower. She is a whizzzzz when it comes to riding that bucking 4 wheel bull, and enjoys every minute of it. Singing to the top of her voice, growing old gracefully.

Wonderful.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY



Heads up every one, tomorrow is Patsy Ann's birthday. Let me see, how old is she? Do you know?

If I knew I would not tell, that would not be nice.

Donna took this picture of Patsy in November 2007. I think it is a very good one. Thank you Donna for sending it to me.

Love you both.

How about the cake Jean made for you a few years ago. It looked like a hamburger. I think I will make you one. Here it is. Love you, ME

Tallant to sign latest book

Staff Report
Published July 7, 2009, The Paris News.

BLOSSOM — Local author Wesley Tallant is scheduled for a book signing at Hastings in Paris from 4 to 6 p.m. July 11 for his newest book, “The Comancheros and Jake Hardy Barnes.”

The book is a sequel to the author’s first book “Jake Hardy Barnes, the Adventure Begins.”

Set in June 1860, Jake is on his way home from a business trip to Santa Fe, N.M., when he finds the smoldering remains of a covered wagon. The bodies of a man and two small boys lie next to the wagon.

Jake finds a young girl in a nearby cave, and she tells him that her mother and sister were taken by the men who killed her father and brothers. After escorting her to safety, Jake organizes a small army of some of the toughest men in the New Mexico territory. They find that more women have been kidnapped. Their mission is to bring the women back at all costs.

Tallant is a Blossom resident. He retired from the Paris Fire Department in 2004 after 24 years of service. He has been married for the past 36 years to his wife and has three grown sons. He is currently writing the third book in the Jakes Hardy Barnes series.

The book is available at Hastings in Paris or online from PublishAmerica, Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com.

The Fords Academy Reunion was very small this year. Only eleven came. But we enjoyed seeing each other again. Maybe next year will be bigger. We are all getting up in years, and sometimes it is just impossible to attend. There was eleven attended, but I failed to get a picture of Glenna.
I don't know how that happened.
We all, at one time, lived in the area where Camp Maxey was built in the early 40's. All had to move out of the area, and the reunions have been on the 4th. of July ever since. I grew up there until the 5th. grade when we moved East of Paris.
