WEST, BY GODDESS, TEXAS NEWS

It's been a while since I have done a West, Texas news post...so here tis'....

We had 11 inches of rain in the month of March..and 9 inches of it fell in 2 days...It flooded roadways, creeks, and filled up all the tanks..

St.Mary's Catholic Church of the Assumption youth participated in a live, drive-through Stations of the Cross last Sunday evening on the Church's parking lot. Aproximately 1,100 people viewed this annual event conducted between 7-8:30pm...

April 11th has been designated as "West Day" and the city is to be honored by the Texas State Legislature.They are sending a delagation of citizens from various organizations and they will be taking 133 dozen kolaches to distribute to the offices in the State Capitol building.This will be the 4th time the city of West has been honored and West kolaches have been designated the Offical Kolache of the Texas Legislature..Personally I think they just do it for the free kolaches...

The Bold Sprin Baptist Church is selling their hamburgers again tomorrow...Jesus wept..I can't have any..and they are the best hamburgers ever..really...sigh*

A Spring Fund-raiser is planned for April 21st at the Fist United Church at 310 Pine. Potato soup, sandwiche with chips and tea are priced at $5. Cool potato soup is also to be sold in jars to go..I don't know why, but this makes me laugh..only West would sell potato soup to raise money..but the Catholic Brother and Sister United and the Knights of Columbus are planning a pancake breakfast from 7-10am on April 22nd at St. Joseph's Hall. All proceeds are to go to Families to Families in Guatemala. These families do not have clean water and $500 will supply a family with clean water...

Ok, I will quit making fun of them..as they really do good things..and I should be ashamed of myself..and if potatoes were not on my can't eat list..I'd go have a jar of soup..

Two engagements..Wilma Johanna Mechell is going to marry John Spaulding, jr. on April 28th at the Church of the Assumption in West.

Bernard adn Lucy Pustejovsky will celebrate their 40th Anniversary on April 8th.They were married in West at St. Mary's Catholic Church of the Assumption in 1967.They are going to have a party to celebrate but so far neither of them can set a date as they are big into farming and can't get away from the fields long enough to do so...

We had 4 deaths...all of them in their 80's...

The Lady Trojans baseball team increase 12-AAA record to 6-0...they are doing some major asskicking..They have 2 more games to go and we expect them to win them both..go big red...

The Trojans win twice in district baseball and they are only half way through the series..

If you're looking for a nice summer home you can get a 3bedroom,2.5 baths, workshop, barn, stock tank, trees and more on 3.7 acres and no dusty roads to drive all for the great price of $99,900.

As you can see, it's another typical week in West..Last week we had some drug busts, but all but one were from out of town...don't know why they think it's ok, to come to West to buy or sell drugs, but our police nabbed them..They were at the Czech Inn and the manager of the Inn thought they were up to something and called the cops on them...hahahahah...BUSTED...

I am still walking with Margaret...but we now have a new member of our walking club....Annie.

She leaves with us and usually makes 2 rounds before she says fuck it and sits at the corner and waits for me to come around the last lap and then she walks home with me..Every one comes out of their apts and watch her walk behind us, meowing all the way..she doesn't like people and when they come out on their porch she will make a big detour to go around them...but she goes with us every day now..she thinks she's a dog..goofy cat..

That's all the news fit to print from West, Texas...as you can see...it's still 1957 ..
