[dropcap]T[/dropcap]hanks to Beth and Everett Smith for hosting last Tuesday’s National Night Out, providing frozen treats, water, and jump houses for “who knows how many” kids. Monday evening, as the city alderpersons discussed reimbursing a portion of the cost of the inflated jump houses, someone estimated twenty kids played in them. Back home, I counted nine youngsters in a photo as we were gathered in a big circle listening the Mayor Taylor and others. At that moment, most kids were having a riproaring fun time in the rentals. It was a good crowd, for certain, with several new residents attending. Some arrived close to the 8 p.m. posted closing time, coming directly from work.
On Monday’s walk around the block, KissMe saw pink flamingos in Roland and Mary Garza’s front yard. We read to him the yard sign, “You’ve been flocked by Hays High School Project Graduation.” (photo by Pauline Tom)
