Baby Shower for Jessica

Belinda enjoyed attending Jessica's baby shower this afternoon. A good time was had by all!

Gardening Today!

Charles did some wonderful work in the back garden today. It's looking better and better! Praise God for a wonderful husband who works hard to improve the homefront!

A windy week comes to a close

All week long we've had really strong winds and for several days we had lots of smoke and haze to contend with. The wildfires in this area have really taxed everyone's nerves in many ways.

This morning, Charles spent time supporting the efforts of the Lions Club rose day sale. It was fun to see how the community comes together to support worthy causes such as this.

Belinda returned from San Angelo this evening in time for the monthly supper gathering of the FUMC - McCamey family.

Rio Concho West Dinner Tonight!

Belinda's mother treated her to a ticket to the Rio Concho West's monthly birthday dinner tonight at the clubhouse. This monthly gathering honors the birthday-month honorees with great food and wonderful entertainment. It is always a fun time! Tonight we enjoyed the lovely music of young people from Central High's orchestra. Afterwards, they enjoyed another rousing game of Scrabble, with them scoring in excess of 200 points each! Wow!

A Smokey day in McCamey

The dry and windy conditions have contributed to dangerous fire conditions in recent weeks. This morning, as Charles was officiating at a funeral here in McCamey, the very strong winds out of the southwest drove smoke from wildfires taking place a mere 20-25 miles away.

By evening, the haze had cast an orange glaze over the sun and there was a strong smoky-smell in the air. The local volunteer firemen have been out around the clock battling blazes from Ft. Davis to Odessa. Belinda said there was also fires near San Angelo yesterday, some 100 miles east of McCamey.

Bunco Frenzy Tonight!

Belinda was the hostess for tonight's bunco games at the local Santa Fe Depot. The food was great, and the company was awesome! A really good time was had by all! Yea, God!!!

Rain in Angelo Tonight!

WOW! Belinda could NOT believe her ears! She and her mother were in the midst of a rousing game of Scrabble, when they heard a strange sound. It took a few moments to decipher that sound: rain hitting her sunlight in the kitchen. They rushed outside to witness RAIN! They saw a bit of lightning, heard some rumbling of thunder and witnessed RAIN. It is over now, but it was quite a sight to see. Thanks be to God!!! (Oh, Lord, p-l-e-a-s-e send more rain to the thirsty ground of west Texas!)
