Wakulla Station News

By VERNA BROCK

I have been really loving the Springtime weather we’re experiencing! Everything is greening up, Ed’s veggie garden is producing, and I have so many weeds, I don’t have nearly enough time to do everything I need to do. My Southern Magnolia trees are blooming, and the fragrance fills the air. Ahh, BLISS!
Ed had the opportunity to visit his sister, Joanne, this past week, in Melbourne Beach. They had a lovely visit, but it reminded him, once again, why we live in Wakulla County. The traffic and congestion is unbelievable.
It has been a busy sports season for our grandchildren, with participation in soccer, softball, volleyball, and baseball. What a wealth of fun and competition for us all! It gladdens the hearts of parents and grandparents everywhere to cheer on our aspiring athletes.
For any interested folks reading this, the Community Traffic Safety Committee is meeting on Tuesday, May 9th at 11 a.m. sharp, at the Wakulla County Public Library. If you have any concerns, especially about the speed limit in Wakulla Station, you are welcome to attend.
Please continue to lift Faye Sweeney and the Mosely family in your prayers. Sweet baby Sebastian continues to grow at Shands, but he also continues to await a heart transplant. The Sloan-Peacock family needs our prayerful support as they grieve the loss of their baby girl, Emersyn Mae. Prayers are also requested for Sue Thornton Austen, as well as her Mom.
During their visit, in celebration of a milestone birthday for Sue, Covid struck. After having a great week together, Sue tested positive, and her mom cut her visit short by a week. Not surprisingly, Mrs. Thorton has also tested positive. Both ladies are doing well, having had their vaccines and boosters, and are using Paxlovid to support their immune systems.
Obviously, your prayers are welcome!
