Cowboy Church Planning Fall Roundup

Rain 

Muldoon was blessed with rain this past week. The last full week in August saw over three inches fall in the area. This was a wonderful event with the temperatures dropping into the seventies and cool breezes blowing. The temps rose again, but only into the lower nineties for highs. Mornings have been very pleasant in the lower seventies.

The rain has brought on lots of green grass and is a welcomed by all those who raise cattle in the area. Most of the rain has absorbed in the ground with very little run off. The rain was heavy at times, but it was a much welcomed sight with the ground starting to dry out and cracks were forming.

Out and About 

Jennifer and Clay Rightmer had a full house over the weekend. Son Reed Rightmer came in from Houston for some time in the country along with his sister Lane Rightmer who drove in from Waco. Joining in the family gathering was Jennifer’s sister, Julie Zavala of Georgetown.

Devon Boehnke, Dana and Darrell Kulak and Erica Field enjoyed having Erica’s parents, Beth and Jack Field come in from Magnolia to visit. It was a busy time as the group did lots of work around the ranch working cattle.

School Started 

The area schools have started and that means that school buses are once again making their rounds. While traveling in the early mornings or the afternoons, please be sure and pay attention and stop for all the buses that are loading and unloading. Also be watching for kids standing by the roadway waiting for their ride to school.
