Cherokee News - Week of March 11, 2007

[Sky]

The staff and children of Cherokee Home for Children went to Heart of Texas Bible Camp for Spring Break.  They had lots of fun, games, food and fellowship.  One night they had a chocolate fountain and one night they had a "mile" long banana split ( well not quite that long).  Everyone had a great time.  Some of the youth from Cherokee Home spent Saturday cleaning yards in Cherokee.  They were just doing it to serve.  I'm sure the ladies all appreciated it. Curt McKneely and Kristen Dovi spent their spring break on a mission trip to New York City.  Curt goes to school at San Angelo and Kristen goes to school at Howard Payne.  A group of men from the Baptist Church went fishing during Spring Break.

 

Funeral services were held last week in Belton for the great-grandchild of Red Bird and Pansy Randolph.  If you would like to send them a card, their address is  7504 Nolan Road   Belton, Texas   76513.

 

Wardell Randolph had hip surgery in Austin on Monday.  LaVoyce Sellman went to Fort Worth for another chemo treatment.  Mike and Susan Magill went to see their daughter last week.  Susan is feeling better.  Roy and LaVoyce are grand parents again.  Their puppy had a baby.  They would love to show it off.  Charles and Nettie Jean Randolph visited Richard Randolph in San Antonio on Saturday.  They also visited Byars Walters at Stockdale.  Sue Rhoades and Tracy and Kendall Johnson visited Richard in San Antonio Sunday.  They also visited Kevin, Mary and Jaze Randolph.  Jerry Randolph was in San Antonio Saturday to visit his Dad, Richard Randolph.  Alex and Landry Poss from San Antonio spent spring break with their grandparents, Avery and Maurine Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. Roy McCown Jr. and family visited Roy, Joyce and Tommy last Wednesday. Joyce did her share of spoiling the new granddaughter.  Larry Crum and Jody and Katherine Simmons were in San Antonio Friday to visit Richard Randolph.  David and Sabra Roberts from Frisco are spending a few days with Wardell and Jane Randolph.  Tyler Owens spent the weekend with the Henderson family.  He was also getting to know his new cousin, Payton Hanley. Charlotte and Jill Millican from Brownwood visited Coney and Payton Hanley last Tuesday. 

 

We have great news from Nazanine and Roger Wisdom!  Nazanine writes:

We are purchasing the Coline Scott house, now owned by Gina Hanley Medcalf. Our special thanks go to Gina for providing us with the opportunity to purchase the home. Again, the support we felt during this trying time has convinced us that we must stay in Cherokee, must raise our kids among these wonderful people.

 

The Cockrum's were en residence at Cherokee over the weekend.  We stopped by to see how the moving was coming along with Nazanine and Roger and they were just about moved except for a goat (who didn't want to be caught) that was in a pasture with a donkey.  Ashley and I jumped into the fray with Nazanine and her brother Joseph and sixteen rounds later the goat was in the trailer and the donkey had the pasture to himself.  Sorry Naz, I know this goat has a name but I can't remember it!

 

I stopped by Cherokee Valley Nursery on Saturday and being spring, of course everything was in bloom!  If you haven't been out there this year, do go and see all of the beautiful blooming plants!

 

Until next week, that's the news from Cherokee, Texas!
