Everman still in playoffs

Well, lots of teams BOMBED on Friday night including Burleson and Kennedale. But, the Bulldogs ran over Aledo like a Mack truck making road kill. The final score was 24-7! Way to go Bulldogs. On another Everman note. Beth Harville and her not-so-little girl were at Jamie’s shower on Saturday. It was good to see her. She is 7th grade band director at Brewer.

I thought everyone would enjoy this random picture of Carter McMurdie. He certainly has personality!

The Puzzle of the Week

Well, our gang did it again, another magnificent, difficult puzzle is complete. We did this one for Ben because it has historical trains. We won't take it apart until he sees it and I will have a picture printed for him. He watched, but wasn't much help with this 1,000 piece masterpiece.

Gideon at the Meyerson

Gideon's school Legacy and Mansfield HS will be singing, accompanied by both high school bands, at the Meyerson Sunday Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and best purchased in advance, so let me know who's interested and I'll make sure we get enough. I'm excited--I've never been beyond the lobby of the Meyerson, and what a great opportunity for them.

Calendar

Today is election day but no matter who gets elected, we will have Thanksgiving and Christmas and, of course, needy families. I got several calls yesterday and expect that to continue. Applications are being snatched up at City Hall, so we can expect a goodly number of needy.
