Everyone loved Jim Monnig’s story about Hector!! If you have a good story to tell about your fur baby, please share with all of us. I do not know of anyone who does not enjoy a great animal story.
David Dibb tells us his story in this issue.

Also, on PBS on Sunday nights, the third season of ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL has been showing. It is a great series. You can pick up Seasons 1 and 2 from your library (most likely) or stream wherever it might be available. You may even be able to pull it up ON DEMAND depending on what your individual cable package offers. Such a “feel good” series.

Again, please send in your story about your fur relative. These are precious stories of precious memories.

Some Irish sayings:

1. May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been, the foresight to know where you are going, and the insight to know when you have gone too far.
2. May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.
3. May your heart be light and happy, may your smile be big and wide, and may your pockets always have a coin or two inside!

January is going out with an artic punch for us in Texas. We are expected to get freezing rain/sleet – maybe even snow in some places- for the next few days. Here in Waco we are under a winter weather warning for the next several days. I hope everyone everywhere will keep their electricity. I still remember the Great Texas freeze of 2021. Brrr, it was cold then. I was told stories from many regarding their damage due to frozen and burst pipes.
Stay safe and warm.

Here is the February 2023 issue of the Town Crier. Do not forget to share articles or items of interest with all of us. 2023 seems to be marching on as quickly as did 2022.

Waco has been hot, hot, hot. In 2011 (our hottest year), Waco experienced 90 days of triple digit temperatures of which 44 days were consecutive. So far, we are only two days behind the 2011 record and the prediction is that we may surpass it. Surely nothing to brag about…. just fact.

Attached is the August issue in document form. I am pleased to say several have been sending items of interest for the Crier. You will enjoy Howard Dudgeon’s “brief history” after graduation in this issue. Also, you will be pleased with a surprise that I announce. I know it has excited me.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay in touch with others. With the pandemic and isolation that so many have experienced over the past few years, with the extreme heat we are now enduring, the monkey-pox and frankly, just older age…. you never know when someone might really be lonely or experiencing health issues or other problems that might need attention. Just knowing that someone else cares or shows concern can often mean so very much. So, do your part if you can.

Be kind to one another and remember:
“Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless. ”
– Mother Teresa
