Devon Boehnke, Dana and Darrell Kulak and Erica Field traveled to Magnolia to celebrate Easter at Devon’s oldest daughter and son-in-law, Beth and Jack Field’s home.

Jennifer and Clay Rightmer hosted their family Easter celebration that began on Thursday with the arrival of daughter, Lane Rightmer from Waco, and continued to grow with the arrival of Jennifer’s sister Julie Zavala on Friday. The weekend was a buzz of activity getting ready for the big Easter meal on Sunday.

With the rain, things have greened up a lot and it once again looks like spring in the area. The water has already soaked in and awaiting the next shower.

Illness in Area 

There are a number in the community who are suffering from the spring pollen and allergy effects. There is also a respiratory bug that has continued to linger on. Be sure and check on your neighbors and make sure they are OK and don’t need a little help.
