SPECIAL GIFT—Rockdale Memorial Post 6525 Auxiliary presented a check in the amount of $300 to Elissa Benford-Roberts for the City of Rockdale Friends of Veterans Park monuments project. The funds will be used to help purchase five military branch monuments that will be placed to honor our local veterans. Pictured are (L-R) auxiliary officers Irene Garza, Donna Diver, Rita Johnson, Paula Stewart and Veteran’s Park coordinator Benford-Roberts. Donations for the project may be mailed to Benford-Roberts at 60 Post Oak Place in Rockdale.
The farmers market has been having some good watermelons lately. In my family we tend to eat it plain—some with salt and some without—but Lynn Young sent me this recipe for a watermelon salad that sounds very good and refreshing. And who doesn’t need something refreshing with the hot weather we’ve been having.
I have the best family and friends! Saturday was my birthday and they went all out for me. We had a delicious meal and I got so many nice gifts! Can’t beat that.
I often say I’m an old, tired and cynical pastor. Really old people tell me that I’m not old which makes me think the other adjectives must describe me. Yikes.
