Feb. 3 Edition

"I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower." --- Psalm 18:1-2 KJV

Birthdays this week include: Hannah Moring - Feb. 3, Paul Miller - Feb. 5, Chuck Brown - Feb. 8.

Happy anniversary to Keith and Becky (Morgan) Cheney - Feb. 4 and Floyd and Faye Leaks - Feb. 5.

Typical Arkansas weather patterns have kept us guessing this last week... warm one day, cold the next. As of posting this column, we're under a burn ban despite an excellent rain Sunday.

STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH (as opposed to similar farm animals): yes, the New Edinburg Museum closed as of the end of January. Reason: assorted reasons; ask me if you're really interested, not others, because no one else ran it besides me. There is an excellent chance it will re-open elsewhere in the future.

I have been asked about any Civil War re-enactment activity this year at Marks' Mills... this being the 150th anniversary of that battle.  I've contacted two re-enactors from two separate groups, and the answer from both is: both were waiting for the other group to make the first move.  So, the answer seems to be no. That's too bad.

Go Eagles.
