Gordonsburg/ Little Swan News

Once again we had a mixture of summer and fall temperatures and probably will have until it really changes and we get frost and I hope that it will be a few weeks before this happens. The nights have been nice with temperatures in the sixties and then the days sometimes got warm with temperatures rising into the eighties. The leaves are really falling and I have seen some signs which according to the older generation points to a very bad winter. The shucks on corn have been very thick and the acorn trees for the most part have really been over the top with acorns and some are as big as pecans and the wooly worms that we are seeing now are almost completely one color. I hope these are wrong and we do not have a really cold and snowy winter.

Those I know of who are sick either at home or nursing facility or in the hospitals are: G Y Bennett, Connie Bonner, Dorothy Brown, Amy Carroll who had her surgery and although is sore feels much better, Joann Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Spencer Clark, Fada Clay, Bailey Cromwell, Tommy Edwards, Buffy Farnsworth, Monette King, Colben LY, Linda Mercer, Greg McCann, Jackie McFall, Bill Moore, Colene Rasbury, Shirley Reeves, Marsha Runions, Mona Runions, Nell Skelton, Wayne Tiller, Jim and Jan Walker, Diane White, and Annette Williams. Please pray for these in your daily prayers that they might be better and also for any others that need prayers.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones the past week and we send prayers for them to have better days in the coming months. May God bring peace to their life.

The first few days of October brought rain to the area and so the yard sales and activities of the October Heritage Festival were somewhat shower with sprinkles or showers of rain. I hope you were able to be out and do the things that you had planned and wanted to do. Saturday was a day mixed with sprinkles of rain and sunshine and then hard showers of rain which would have wet you if you had been out in them.

School is out for fall break so many children will be out and about this week so be careful as you travel around for children sometimes forget to practice safety as they go about their daily routines.

Prayers for you to have a good week and enjoy the life as we have all been blessed with and take time to enjoy those around you especially children in your life for they are a great blessing.
