Odds & Ends
by MYRTLE HEIDEMAN
It used to be that you could at least write about the weather, but that is the same story week to week and it is turning into a tragedy statewide. I hope everybody is conscious of the dry roadsides, yaards and pastures. One spark from an unattended barbeque grill or one discarded cigarette can cause a catastrophe. So be careful! Also no firecrackers, unless it rains.

Hope all fathers, fathers to be, grandfathers and all the great grandfathers had a “great” day.
Raymond Heideman had almost all of the family coming for a carry in sandwich, pizza and chocolate cake supper. Do you remember when “Wacky Cake” was the rage? Ask Terry about it, she made a delicious one. Oh yes, also enjoyed a Texas grown watermelon. Coming were Terry Kleen, Daniel and Sharon Heideman, Don, Tracie and Logan Crowell of Uhland, Brian Heideman of Austin, Mike, Debbie and Cooper Moore of Kyle (Raney was on his way to Oklahoma to play baseball, more on that next week), Dennis, Kim, Kassie, Maddy and Hanna Heideman of Rogers Ranch, David, Becca and Chloe Schultz and Clarence Heideman of San Marcos. Hanna entertained with math and various problems to solve.

I was hoping, as I was not able to gather enough news last week, that someone would have a “front liner” to report this week.
There was an accident on Highway 21 near Uhland on Sunday afternoon that required an ambulance. No report on how serious and the cause, hope all are ok.

Please mark your calendar for Wednesday, July 13. The Veterans Honor Wall in the Uhland Community Center will be dedicated at 5 p.m. All who have and/or plan to take part in providing pictures and histories for the wall are invited to attend, as is the public. More information to follow in the weeks to come.

Keep the following in your prayers: Jim Alexander, Louis Luersen, Cheryl Shelley, Ed Daugherty, Rick Salewsky, son of Ron, who was in an auto accident and has had five surgeries and will have knee surgery. Also all the victims of the tornadoes, as well as those in various states who have lost homes, ranchers who have lost their livelihood with the loss of cattle, sheep, etc., as well as the grazing not only in Texas, but other states as well. Our farmers, ranchers, truck farmers (vegetables, etc.) are all suffering. Our prayers for rain are NEEDED.
