And Now, The Last Week
The last dance has turned into the last of everything. The last of Colten’s official time with us is one day away. He will always be our grandson, but for the past three years he has been a member of the household as well so he could finish school at Muleshoe High...
The Last Dance
Saturday was prom night, the next to the last hurrah for Muleshoe seniors. Graduation being their final flourish, of course. Which also meant it was Colten’s last prom, and it was my job to preserve it forever in pictures. And I was looking forward to documenting the...
Irene and the Muleshoe Youth Advisory Council
Irene Mason was recently named Beta Sigma Phi’s Woman of the Year, in part because of her work with the Youth Advisory Council that she began three years ago, which mirrors the Muleshoe city council. I attended their last meeting of the year Monday to see how the...
The Marathon That Is An Athletic Banquet
Muleshoe High School held its annual athletic banquet May 2. We, of course, went as grandparents of one of the athletes, but also to support and recognize all the kids who participated in sports this past school year. And that is a bus load of kids! I don’t know how...
Regionals for the Last Time
Colten ended his high school golf career last week with his fourth trip to the regional golf tournament in Odessa. He was the only Muleshoe Mule to qualify this year and was the only senior on the team, and he represented Muleshoe well. Since the team wasn’t going,...
WC Clark Sings Blues For Us
We traveled to the Cactus Theatre in Lubbock last Saturday to hear WC Clark sing his brand of blues. I was surprised to see that the theatre was not filled, but he sang his heart out for those of who were there, and it was a good night. WC (Wesley Curley) Clark, not...
Carol Sue Comes For a Visit
Carol Sue and I go way back-literally from birth to the present. So when her mother died last September (see “600 Miles and 60 Years,” October 17, 2012), after the funeral some of her other friends and I convinced her she needed a break from everything that goes with...
I Won a Blue Ribbon
I wrote about the Muleshoe Art Association’s show in 2011 (“Deja Vu at the Art Show,” April 27, 2011); this year I decided to enter-and won! The first art show story was about Reagan Cox’s interpretation of one of my Kilimanjaro pictures. I chose another image from my...
The Fine Arts Shine
One of the main fund raises for the Fine Arts Boosters at Muleshoe High School-yes, there is a booster club for Fine Arts just like for Athletics-is what they call Fine Arts Night to Shine, held in the Spring every year. This year that night was March 25, and it was a...
SCAC Does the Bake Sale
I helped with the Student Community Action Club bake sale last Saturday. The club, usually referred to as SCAC, has, for too many years to count, but I believe it would be 30, hold this bake sale as their fund raiser for the year, the proceeds from which they donate...
