I don’t know about you, but I’ve been reveling in the last few days of afternoon showers.
Yes, it means more humidity. But it also drops the temps down to semi-bearable. Yes, it means you can watch the grass spring up right in front of you. But it also keeps flower and vegetable gardens alive without endlessly dragging hoses from pillar to post.
I hope this is a new weather pattern, reminiscent of “the good ‘ol days” of my youth in Florida. Once was, you could almost set your watch by the afternoon summer rains.
With the start of school on the not-so-distant horizon, school supply drives have begun. My good friends Robert and Kenny Manning have already begun bookbag distributions around the county, with the Be A Hero to Our Heroes organization. They are on their third week, and will be in Sopchoppy this coming Saturday, July 27, at City Hall, from 9 a.m to noon. The final grand finale will be Aug. 3rd at the Wakulla Community Center. There will be vendors, free haircuts, food, clothing, well-check physicals, and more!
Should you miss these events, please contact the Mannings. They always reserve supplies/book bags just for that eventuality. And remember – everything is free to all comers. All for the glory to God!
Many thanks to everyone who supported the Wakulla United Methodist Church’s “Christmas in July.” They made over $1,000 for the food pantry!
Please keep Pam Adams in your prayers, as well as Terry Allen, Becky Perkins, Emily Mc Kuen, Deborah Giles, and Mike Harrison in your prayers.
I’m so happy to report Cindy Blackstock is recuperating well, as well as Sharhonda Williams and Clem Bunker. Your prayers are more powerful than you know.
