Bad news on the quail scene

A couple of weeks ago, my good friend Steve Buoy and I journeyed out to western Oklahoma and enjoyed a fall turkey hunt. We each bagged a gobbler as did one of Steve’s cousins, Denton, who happened to be out there and hunted with us.

Town Talk

Thank you to everyone who purchased yard signs for Veteran’s Day to thank our veterans for their service. I loved driving around town and seeing the signs placed in so many yards. It was a nice tribute to our veterans.

Happenings at Prairie Pointe

Rae Bland’s devotional last Sunday was “The Suffering Servant” from Isiah 53. Jesus came to pay the penalty for all our sins. He accomplished His purpose on the cross. We enjoyed singing some gospel songs.

Being Thankful

We’re coming up on what my good friend Peter Winter calls his “favorite American holiday.” Peter is a native of New Zealand and is blessed with an outsider’s insights into the nuances of the American charcter.

Updates from Meeker Town Hall

As we get into November and December, we will start celebrating several Holidays. On November 11th, we will honor Veteran’s Day, originally know as Armistice Day.

Helping others in need

It’s all about people helping people, neighbors willing to help neighbors, friends assisting friends.

Town Talk

Happy Veteran’s Day to all our veterans and servicemen who are currently serving our country. We owe you a debt of gratitude we can never repay and thank you seems so inadequate. We do thank you though from the bottom of our hearts for your commitment to our country and the American people.

Finally some relaxation

This weekend was supposed to be big. It was the two year anniversary of my biological father passing away and I wanted to celebrate his life with some of my closest friends at his favorite place, our family farm in Heavener, Oklahoma.

Letter to the editor

A few days back the wife & I were in Dodge City, Kansas. When we went to a restaurant down the street for breakfast we met Charlie Meads (Special Deputy US Marshal). He was decked out in western attire, spurs & all. I asked him if he rode his horse into town & he said, not this morning.

Weekend trip

The first inkling that the weekend would be unusual was at the Chandler-Millwood football game Friday. A lady who was working one of the sticks on the chain gang was having trouble getting an arm into the sleeve of her orange vest, so I held it up for her.
