Annette Chambers and Tete Rodriguez hosted a “Chambers” get-together as their house last week with a fajita dinner and all the fixings and of course BlueBell ice cream for dessert. Coming together were Howard and Janice Chambers, Robert and Pat Chambers, Nelda Chambers White, Willie Chambers, Darrell Chambers, Teri (Chambers) and Mitch Johnson and James Morehead. With Howard and his wife, Janice, coming in from Mississippi, it was a great time to bring all the family together and catch up on everyone.

How lucky we are to have such wonderful rains, even if it did spoil some of the outdoor holiday plans.
