“That’s the finest pecan pie I have ever had” is NOT what Ted Price said when he was in town not too long ago for a Kerens Alumni Center Game Night. He had made a faithful trip from Houston to Kerens supporting his Alumni organization and here I went and almost got him in trouble. He had visited the Double D Steakhouse and enjoyed being able to eat in town, especially the desert he had knocked down after his meal.

I feel a couple of butterflies fluttering around ever so slowly in my stomach even now, much in the same manner as they did many years ago as the minutes crept by. Maybe twelve years old and about to stand in front of a large audience to give a speech, and the first time to stand alone in front of such a large crowd. The crowd included my Mother who I believe was sitting right in the middle of this gathering. That helped a bit of course. Behind me on the same stage standing in neat rows were all of my classmates who were twitching nervously as well. My classmates and I were not on the best of terms at the moment since they had elected me to be the one to wear a top hat and beard and make this speech. None of us wanted to win that election. Grumbling twelve year olds. Can you imagine?

She would like to also ask and enrourage more people to volunteer, it really brightens up the residents days to see new faces and the feeling you get after giving even a little of your time to the residents is priceless."

He is a caring people person that is there early in the morning,going room to room asking the residents if they are doing well and if they need anything. He is out and amongst the residents during the day. This is a positive step for the care center."

I had a couple of comments on the July 4th historical story from last week’s column and one came in a phone call from my old history teacher, Coach James Kelley. He told me of an additional event associated with that same day in history, July 4th, 1826 that was as momentous as the entire story of Adams and Jefferson. I could go ahead and tell you what it is, but after scratching my head a bit I think I have a better idea. Next July 4th, only 11 months and a few days away now, I will re-tell that story and you will see what else the Coach had to add to this tale of history.

July the 4th is here and this year I believe the sounds of patriotism will be ringing louder and sharper than any in our recent memories. Most of us were not around during this holiday for the duration of the Great War years, but possibly it will be something comparable as we pass the midpoint of the year 2002. Our country has survived an attack and is still fighting for all the freedoms our forefathers won for us. Independence Day is our day of patriotic celebration.

Anonymous writes "On the western side of Navarro county is a beautiful lake, Navarro Mills Lake, where people can have family reunions or picnics or to camp out at Oak Park on the eastern side of the lake. There is also public camping on the western side of this lake just a few miles on a tank of gas. Visit it soon."

Each day I drive to work in Dallas I see the continuing progress of the new Super Wal-Mart being built in Ennis. From the first ground breaking to its current state I have watched each stage as it has risen from the ground to become the large white structure it is right now. Now that I think about it, have you ever seen a white Wal-Mart before? Must be a new design.
And of course every time I see it the car slows down for just a bit to listen to me grumble about the ghost Super Wal-Mart that is not sitting on the Highway between Corsicana and Kerens yet. I keep a close eye on what Neal Williams has to say in the newspaper each week hoping to catch a clue about where the Corsicana Chamber may be going with this project. Neal is going to bring us some good news one of these days.

 If builders built buildings the way programmers write programs, Jolt Cola
would be a Fortune-500 company.
If builders built buildings the way programmers write programs, you'd be
able to buy a nice little colonial split-level at Babbages for $34.95.
If programmers wrote programs the way builders build buildings, we'd still
be using autocoder and running compile decks.
