Odds & Ends
by MYRTLE HEIDEMAN
Yes, that was rain that fell last week. Though it wasn’t near enough, at least we know there is such an item. I did catch a tub of water for the houseplants.

Seems like everyone is staying close to home, not much going on in the community. Barbara Hanna, Gladys Sorrells, Bobby Jean and Erwin Hagedorn of St. John Lutheran Church of Uhland attended Grace Lutheran Church Women’s Mission League in San Marcos (the ladies did) and Erwin attended the churches’ executive committee meeting. They all enjoyed learning what Grace Lutheran Church missions have on their agenda and what they are working on. Prior to the meeting they joined the group for a delicious meal and fellowship.

Speaking of food, Clarence Heideman and Adelene Wisian of San Marcos carried in some pizza and Danny and Sharon Heideman brought a homemade lemon pie. What more can you ask for other than the fellowship and visiting? Thanks.I hope no one gets brave enough to have an outdoor barbecue next week. We sure do not need sparks flying, but do hope everyone has a very enjoyable Labor Day weekend. We sure will miss going to Canyon Lake, like we “used” to do in the “good ol’ days.”

There were reports of two mishaps involving cattle on the road. One accident happened on Highway 21, involving an 18-wheeler and another on FM 2720 involving a small car. No serious injuries to the drivers, but the cattle were not so lucky. Cattle are looking for green grass and the roadsides still have a few sprigs. Drive carefully.

What a nice surprise! Coming to visit with Raymond and Myrtle Heideman on Sunday afternoon were Bert and Louise Stuenkel of Austin and Gene and Ann Stuenkel of Niederwald. A lot of “yesteryears” were remembered. The Stuenkel brothers are sons of the late Monroe and Nola Holz Stuenkel and had not visited for some time. What a nice way to spend an afternoon. Come again, and by the way, they are my cousins.
