How about those Bulldogs !! It's so good to see our team winning some
games and of course, you know, Thrall. And we surely enjoy our band at
the half time performances and wish them luck at contest in Giddings
last Saturday.
My cousin spent last week with us and we took her as far as
Giddings and we were really tempted to stop and watch our band perform
on our way home, but after a week of company, just too tired and ready
to get home.
There was a cute picture in the newspaper of Leah Hook, daughter of
Wesley and Lynne Falke Hook, Class of 1976 of Austin. She created a
bird and butterfly sanctuary in the rose garden of the Wesleyan at
Scenic Nursing Care and Rehabilitation Center in Georgetown and earned
the Golden Award, the highest achievement in Girl Scouts. Leah is a
Senior at Westlake High School. Our congratulations to her.
There were several nice photos of students from both Thorndale
Elementary and St. Paul Lutheran School during Fire Prevention Week. A
cute one of Neil Caffey, Class of 2003 kneeling and letting the little
ones feel his safety gear he was wearing. Neil received the Thorndale
Ex-Students Memorial Scholarship.
Also, Fire Chief, Eric Melde, Class of 1998, Exes husband and
Thorndale Police Department Officer, Michael Moehling and Neil Caffey
gave demonstrations. Eric received the 6th Coach White Memorial
Scholarship.
We need to always thank our Volunteer Firemen. They do a great
job, a hot job when they have to fight a fire, no pay and we can't thank
them enough.
There was a huge, colored picture in the newspaper of the Red Hat
Society dressed in costumes for their October meeting. In the photo,
among others, were exes:
Elvira Stroud Calvin, Class of 1979; Pam Unnasch Ballard, Class of
1974; and exes mom, Pam Eulenfeld. Sure looked like fun.
Well, there's not much news for our exes as everyone is getting ready
for Halloween, Thanksgiving and then heading in to Christmas and the New
Year. My!! How time flies!!
So, I'll list a few of our lost exes again. Seems like we never
find any of our exes after we lose them.

Just For Fun:
Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone
else to hold the vegetables while you chop.
A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you
from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
You need only two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it
doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. It if shouldn't move and does,
use the duct tape.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
Just thought a little chuckle would do us all good.
