KIRKSVILLE —
Hello everyone. Don’t forget the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Carpenters. Just watch for the yard full of plastic eggs. It will be this Sunday after the morning service.
Of course, if it is raining, it will be postponed to the next week. I think it was cancelled three times last year. Let’s pray for better weather this year.
Kirksville Community Center will be having a car show on April 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
There will also be a tractor and motorcycle show and a swap meet. If you are interested in trading up or just selling your ride, this would be a great time to do so.
Awards will be given. So start polishing.
The craft and vendors fair will be coming up on May 18. Contact information will be at 338-6690 or kirksvillecommunitycenter@gmail.com
Full Gospel Tabernacle will be having its youth meeting this Sunday from 4:30 to 5:45 p.m. at the church. Of course, there will be food for the kids.
This would be a great time to get involved in the youth projects. They also will be assigning parts for their upcoming drama.
Just thought I would update everyone on the progress of my niece Cathy’s old house.
Besides paying bills, she is getting started with some of the remodeling.
Remodeling takes so much more time than starting from scratch.
I want to thank Don Chambers again for not being able to say “no” to my dad on agreeing to help in the remodeling. What Don does, we are there also. So, thanks again.

Freedom Rally June 1 in front of the courthouse
Observance of Memorial Day began after the Civil War, but the poet Joyce Kilmer wrote these lines as he served in another great conflict, World War I. His words were more than poetic, they were just and honorable. Kilmer is best known for writing “I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree.” He was killed in the Second Battle of the Marne.

Bookmobile coming to Union City this summer
Union City Day was Saturday. The threat of rain discouraged some yard sale participation but overall it was a good day. Fundraising activities by the club raised more than expenses, so that is good news.

Gone in the blink of an eye
Hi!
One more day of school — yippee!! It sure has felt like summer the past few days, hasn't it? I hope our showers/ storms predicted for today aren’t in the severe category. The folks in Oklahoma have had a tough time of it lately (our prayers are certainly with them).
Can you believe this is Memorial Day weekend? Where did the month of May go -- it was here and gone in the blink of an eye it seems.
Representatives of the Flatwoods Cemetery Association Inc. will be set up at the entrance to the cemetery with ballots for upcoming Board of Directors. Just stop by, mark your ballot and drop same in the ballot box and we'll let you know the names of the 2013-2014 Board members. -
Try these ‘crocking good’ foods
Crock pots are amazing. A crock pot is worth purchasing if you are like myself always on the go.
You can make anything in it, from desserts to breakfast foods, not just stews and soups. The other side of using one is PATIENCE, and a time for preplanning. If you use your time wisely, your crock pot will make your meal planning easier. -
