Ladies Enjoy Quilt Retreat

MULDOON News

The Wednesday morning sewing group at Flatonia Baptist Church took off to finish the big project they have been working on with my help. Nancie Blair and I along with Tricia Griste and Marian Tajchman all traveled to Corpus Christi to enjoy a few days of sewing fun at Kim Bonewald’s beach house. The group was working on the large version of By Annie’s “Two Big Totes.” The group finished up the bags with just a little help and were very proud of their efforts. The bags were all beautiful.

During our stay we did go out and try a number of great seafood places and enjoyed lots of shrimp and fish. It was a very fun and relaxing stay as we all enjoyed the pool and hot tub after a long day of sewing.

Rain in Area 

The Muldoon area was blessed with rain. Anywhere from just over an inch to two inches fell in parts of the Muldoon area. It all depended on where under the big cloud you were. With the rain came some lighting and winds. This was a wonderful end of August blessing of moisture. August is always hot and dry, and this rain helped perk up the grass and bring down the temperatures a little.

Out and About 

Roberta Gullick enjoyed a visit from her brother, Roger Mitchell and his son-in-law Vince from Oklahoma. Roger an Vince helped Roberta with some house repairs. Mike Castro was able to repair two major water leaks she had on her main water line. They also got to celebrate great granddaughter Juliet’s 7th birthday with a little party. Juliet’s Aunt KK and Uncle Mike had the pool ready for fun and her mom and Jerry provided her favorite foods and a delicious birthday cake for the celebration. There were around thirty- two family and friends in attendance.

Lane Rightmer came in for a visit this past week from Waco. Her parents took advantage of her visit to put her to work helping around the ranch.
