Waco Town Crier – March 2026

I think spring is on the way for Waco. Our warm temperatures seem to have come earlier this year. We have already had weather in the 80’s with this week expecting to be in the upper 80’s. We still need RAIN!! That always seems to elude us. My feelings are: The long hot summer arrives too quickly and stays too long.

Attached is the March 2026 Town Crier. I hope no one has any difficulty in opening it. Remember to send items of interest, pictures of yore, and let us know about a good book you have read.

I have not received any updates on anyone who has been under the weather. We hope Larry McMurray is still receiving relief from his recent health issues.

Everyone, … please stay healthy, stay safe, and stay in touch.

An Irish Blessing :
May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.

Waco Town Crier – February 2026

BRRR….It has been cold in Waco! I bet a whole lot of graduates can say that about their locations. Send us some pictures or experiences. I surely hope there have been no falls or frozen pipes that burst. I like cold weather…but this spell has been worrisome.

Remember to share with us some good reading that you have done. With having to stay at home, perhaps you have read
a good book, watched a good movie, or completed a fun project. Maybe even some of us decided to do some house cleaning—
I was not one of those to do the latter.

Enjoy the February issue of the Town Crier. Cannot believe we have already completed one whole month of 2026!

Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay in touch.

The long hot summer has arrived in Waco–not yet at triple digits…but close. We hit 97 yesterday.
