Rememberin'

Waking up, and going to sleep, these are decisions that each and every one does every day, except us old codgers. Sometimes it is time to go to bed and we are just getting up. But, hey, this is what retirees do.

I had a chance to visit some folks I ran around with in the 60’s... Jr & Linda Wilson, Kenneth Patterson, and Pohle Cowan. The tales told on what we use to do, which I cannot divulge due to some folks still living. I guess we were reliving “Precious Memories”, sure was fun.

One of our workhorses in the community has moved away and boy do I miss my buddy as well as the rest of the people will also. Miss Jeanette Gibbs was our go to lady, if you wanted something done, she would do it or assist in doing it. Thanks for all you have done for the Turner Community, Jeanette. You know we have people in the area who would rather sat on their laurels and criticize people who are out trying to make a difference in this community and all I can say is “Shame on you”.... Well enough of that and now moving on to something else.

Let’s talk about the paving or lack of paving in the community. We have been told for the last 3 years this would be the year paving would be done.  We are red faced from holding our breath and waiting for this to happen and still nothing. We will soon be in the 4th year and still no results. If the people in the community will go by and tell the county judge that you are not happy at all with his progress on the completion of this project, maybe we could get the ball off of dead center. It would be greatly appreciated by your neighbors out this way.

Rural Water is in the process of helping our neighbors on Revis Hill Road, Pope Cemetery Road, and Bear Claw Road. It shouldn’t be long and they will have rural water.

Now folks, remember to greet your neighbor with a cheerful word and maybe a cup for coffee.

Be talking to y’all later
