Town Talk

Stroud’s mini-golf course has arrived; in multiple pieces, but it has arrived! Thank you to Miller Truck Lines for delivering it to us. J. P. Morris, Janet Griebel, City Manager Bob Pearman and I put one hole together to see how difficult the process would be.

Remembering Mother’s Day

We men should be acutely aware of why this coming Sunday is a special day. In case you’ve forgotten, this Sunday is Mother’s Day. It’s definitely a day to honor the women in our lives. That includes the mothers, grandmothers and other women who do so much for us men and our children.

Time for planting flowers

Dishwasher

I am sad on Kindra’s behalf. Our dishwasher gradually became less and less effective, recently reaching the point where it wouldn’t clean at all. There were times, in fact, it seemed to make dishes dirtier than they were when you put them in. So a couple of weeks ago Kindra sprung for a new one.

A very happy Easter
