West Library needs volunteers to make confetti eggs. It's one of the ways the library raises money each year. The kids we used to depend on them are out of school and moved on, so we need new blood. I'm thinking about asking Kathy if maybe the volunteers at West Rest Haven might be able to help. I might help too.
West Fraternal is having a 2 day garage sale. Anissa and I went today and I got a bunch of stuff for the Tale Tellers to use when they tell their stories and one lady was so nice she bagged up all of the scarves and men's ties and let me have them for a dollar. I also got a book on stories to be read that they might be able to use. I also found me some books, of course. But it was so hot in there. It's a huge place and was packed with tables and people selling stuff, but guess they didn't figure it was worth turning the a/c on ..all the money they'd make would go on the electric bill. Anyhow Anissa and I had fun.
Next Sunday we're having the Czech-splosion. I'm going for sure. Although my ass will be wore out as it's the day I do my shopping and also am going to Wakko and get my new diabetic shoes.
And Monday we're having Jackie's Kitchen combined with the regular bingo. We'll have strawberry and blueberry shortcakes with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Just be me and Jamie as it's a holiday and only one person works on holidays.

Looks like it's not just me that is in love with my fair city. There is a letter to the editor from a family that had been stranded in West when their car pulling a 31-foot trailer broke down. Along with their daughter and 3 dogs. Seems like everyone stopped to help them. Got their car fixed pulled their trailer to KOA Grounds and really just showed them the generosity that West citizens are known for. Lovely letter and they were so amazed at the level of caring and help they received. Made me proud.
West also has Zumba Fitness classes $5 per class. I thought about taking them..but think I can get the same results shaking my ass to alansgoldenoldies.com on the weekend when I listen to it.

I was set to pack up and then i heard about a five foot snake on somebody's front porch.
I'm not afraid of snakes as long as they're behind glass or something.
That's a helluva cold spell when it's still 97 degrees outside!
Told Rose about the Prison add and she said she has a friend who lives in Texas and said they have a terrible prison system to work in. I got an add from the Realtor there about a house that sounds a lot like that one with pictures but it was priced at $24,500 and is at 705 N Marable. Don't know if I want to move to a place where they explode Czech people for fun. :P
Yikes that is hot, your climate sounds a lot like Australia (in places).
And wow how cheap are houses there? If I hadn't just signed a lease on this place I'd be packing to come live in West, Texas!

I have to say, I had never heard of the "crash" until I read about it here. I Googled it. What a clusterfuck that was.
