Valentines at 7D Ranch

Whitehall News

Ms. Betty Dunn asked that I include the information below to be assured all residents of Grimes County would have the opportunity to attend.

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, Feb. 18. At 7 p.m. Wendy Watriss and Fred Baldwin, renowned international photojournalists, will return to Grimes County where nearly five decades ago in the early 1970s they first came to the area to photograph local families and events that thrust them into world known prominence.

Wendy and Fred will show a power point composite photo exhibit entitled “Grimes County, a Journey in Time.” The pair’s time in Grimes County extended into the 1980s. They are eager to welcome and meet many of their long-known friends.

This is a free event that the general public is invited to at the Navasota Community Center hosted by Two Rivers Heritage Foundation and the Grimes County Historical Commission.

Sunday Morning Worship for Feb.

Feb. 9, 16, and 23 all beginning at 9 a.m. Feb. 26– Ash Wednesday (unsure of plans at this time).

Feb. 26 is Ash Wednesday and Salem Lutheran Church will be offering Lenten service each Wednesday before Easter. Service begins at 7:30 p.m. with a soup supper before the service at 6:30 p.m. Remember, we welcome visitors. Also, Salem is still collecting nonperishable items for the food bank.

7D Ranch offers many amenities and it is located right in our Whitehall community. On Saturday, Feb. 8, their first concert of the year for the public will be Jordan Nix and The Day Drinkers. This concert will also include special guest, Mason Marek and The Drifters. You can order tickets from the website or by calling Gabby at 936-870-5114.

Looking to take the LTC gun class? One will be offered Feb. 22, at 7D. Pistolero Handgun Training costs $100 which includes a box of ammo and lunch. For the free trip through the running course, bring you own ammo. To make reservations, contact Gabby at Gabbychristen@7Dranchtexas.com.

Please add continued prayers for Ms. Pauline Kaspar. She took a fall last week. Hopefully I can find out more about her condition. In addition, I recently heard that my Trinity Lutheran friend, Walter Thane, is not doing well so keep him in your prayers too.

Another junior high basketball game is in the books, Somerville vs Io-la. Chucky and I took the road trip this time. My Bree did not foul out this time; she was nearly knocked out. She will fight for a tie ball and this time two opponents were fighting her for the ball. I think she still had the ball until she fell backward on the gym floor. It was scary to see her being helped up and walked to the bench. The remainder of the game included a very large ice pack on her head.

Our sick and homebound friends include Sue Kolojaco, Lawrence Lieder, Dorothy Mahaffey, Mary Bauer, Albin Finke, Rosa Finke, Lois Bell, Leon Gorney, Doug Taylor, Garry Wise, Kathy Cave Wells, Glenn Binder, Pauline Kaspar, Michelle Guajardo, sister of Billy Robbins, and Alexander Hanna, grandson of Curtis and Darla Kolojaco . Please add these friends to your prayer list.
