WEST,TEXAS NEWS

I haven't done a West,Texas news update in a while..was going to do the letters to Santa but then I forgot...But you due for some local news...actually there isn't much going on but we did collect enough toys to give toys to 250 kids.That's 68 families and over 1,500 toys..Last year we collected enough toys for 50 families and 150 kids..so we get better each year..
Our new VFW Club is open and running...they had the opening in November and it is over by the Westfest Parking area so I see it every time I drive to town...Looks like a cracker box in the middle of a tar patch...But eventually they will plant grass and flowers..or at least I hope so..Our new assisted living center is up and running too..I think it has 15 apts..they are pretty pricy, but they are very very nice..

The boy Trojans place 4Th at the Sherman basketball tourney, but the girls won first and move into the play offs...A West horse won first place at the Los Alamitos Race Course..Leading Spirit, a 4-year old bay gelding owned by Barry Thompson captured first place in the $50,000 First Down Dash Handicap G3.What ever the fuck that is...


West also received over 47 inches of rain during the 2007 year..Which is almost the same amount we received the last 2 years all together..It started out very very wet and then ended up dry..But still had record amounts..No baby's were born this past week..dang..But we had 3 croak on us...Two of them were 90 years old and one was 72...I don't mind when some one dies and their in their 90's..but when some one croaks and is in their early 60's..it makes me antsy..
Don the neighbor that lived behind me died in November..I was talking to his wife and she said he was only 64(he looked 84) and I said that it made me nervous as he was the same age as me...she said she thought I was in my early 50's..Need to put her in my will...

This was a slow week for West as most everyone is still hung over from New Years.When I went to pick up Patsy and Andy from Mynar's Bar New Years night there were cops all over the place..But it was an early night for them because the bars close at midnight during the week so when the new year came in..most people were being escorted out the door and into their cars...I saw the Bratprinces momma and daddy. Edda doesn't drink either and we were thinking about just wandering up and down the streets of West hoping we could be decoys for the cops so the real drunks could make their get away...Like to see the looks on their face when they breathalyzed the 2 of us..Me with no alcohol for 17 years and Edda with no alcohol for 41 years..
Of course Johnny sorta made up for it..and Patsy and Andy were drunker than Cooter Brown.Wonder just who the hell ole Cooter Brown was?...
Well, that's all the news to print...I am disappointed as Bold Springs Baptist Church isn't selling hamburgers this week or next week..I'm jonesing for a Bold Springs Baptist Church hamburger...I'm telling ya..they are nummy delicious..the most perfect hamburger..
