To the Editor: M.M. Brown you said it best in your Letter to the Editor Friday, April 30th.

To the Editor: As a fairly new resident of La Grange and Fayette County, I’ve already seen here in seven months what seem like both the worst of times and the best of times. And through it all — a pandemic, mass vaccination events, a weather and utility emergency, and a community that helps its own, I believe we have a lot to be thankful.

I’m writing this on Wednesday, April 28, and we could surely use some rain. I’m almost out of the rainwater I collect.

La Grange Police Chief David Gilbreath reports on the following incidents his department responded to during the week of April 18-25. Possession of Marijuana On April 24, Wostarek conducted a traffic stop in the 2500 block of N.

I had a wonderful dream about food recently surprising myself. I’ve never considered myself a foodie, so I was shocked I kept seeing dishes I like.

Texas Rangers and Indian allies in war paint crossed the Red River on Apr. 29, 1858 in search of their common enemy -- the Comanches.

Winter came with a vengeance to central Texas February 1929. Heavy snowstorms, raging Artic winds, and stinging bitter cold that paralyzed the community of Hog Eye, located just south of Elgin, Texas. I was not born until 1932 but I have heard the grim details repeated from family and folks who lived to tell about it.

A bid to expand health coverage for low-income Texans failed in the Texas House last week, 80- 68. State leaders have long opposed expanding the Medicaid program, which is largely funded by the federal government.

The taste of dewberries takes me back to childhood every time. I was walking down the country road by our house over the weekend and was surprised to see a few ripe dewberries here and there – the first ones of the season.

To the Editor: Does it concern those who voted for Biden that he shows up at a “virtual meeting” with world leaders while sitting in a gloomy basement empty of the American flag, or any symbol of the American presidency, wearing a mask and a scruffy suit and shirt while all the other national leaders are surrounded by the flags of their nations in a setting indicative of their official national leadership positions? Does it bother those who voted for Biden that he never closes a written, teleprompter speech with God Bless America? Does it bother “Bidenites” that Biden has not yet gone to the border to see the conditions there or to speak with those children who are dropped over the old fences into a dark and violent desert where all kinds of predators lurk – children from infants to toddlers – with no one to know they are there – to die at the jaws of coyotes, snakes and other vicious predators as well as those who travel on two feet? Were this a super hurricane along the coast or a series of tornados tearing up areas along its path, do you think Biden would show up to see what he personally can have FEMA do to help the victims? It seems that nothing bothers Biden or Harris except how they might “give away our tax dollars” and win the next election or change the voting laws to allow for fraudulent voting? Had Trump been re-elected, none of this mess would have been allowed to happen…… not the riots and destruction of businesses in cities around thenation…..not the hoards of migrants coming across the border (at Biden’s invitation) or the attempt to destroy the current election laws allowing for a dictator to rise to power. This is Biden’s “truth to power” propaganda lies to destroy truth in the laws that have made this nation great.
