East End Events

It's hard to believe that the first nine weeks of school is almost over and volleyball season is coming to an end. The weather has been really nice and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it gets much cooler. It's already a week into October and it won't be long until basketball season and the holidays!

Friday evening, I received a phone call from Katha Greuel of Germany. Katha was an exchange student to Plainview last school year and she stayed with Michael and Sharon Arns and family. It was good to talk to her on the phone, but even better when she walked into the room so I could talk to her in person! Katha is visiting her friends in the Plainview community for the next few weeks and surprised almost everyone with her visit.

Brady Butler was home this weekend to visit his parents Dale and Gayla. Brady attends college in Clarendon, Texas.

Ron and Ruth Buller have enjoyed the company of their grandkids' Katie, Matthew, and Levi the last few days after school while the kids' parents have been harvesting.

Tom Scott and Sharon Scott traveled to Grand Junction Friday to see Mark and Michelle Scott, Ryan, Taylor, Ryley, and Breeanna. Breeanna was baptized on Sunday and Tom and Sharon returned home Monday.

Sunday, Mary Louise Huddleston and Bernice Tuttle took Mildred Crockett out for lunch for her birthday. They enjoyed time spent together and ate at Chez W. Duvall's in Granada.

Hazel Woelk has had company for the last few days. Dewey and Virginia Groover of Florida have been visiting. Dewey is a former pastor at the Sheridan Lake Bible Church.

On Sunday evening, Jim and Mary Anne Richardson held a fish fry in honor of the birthdays of Ron Buller, Jim Richardson, and Dewey Groover. Approximately 50 people enjoyed the meal and celebration. Afterwards, Dewey preached at the Sunday evening service at the Sheridan Lake Bible Church.

Carl and Freda Schmidt and Bernice Tuttle were just some in attendance Sunday for the fish fry. David Richardson of near Ada, Oklahoma, was also in attendance.

Megan Fickenscher was home this weekend from college at Ft. Hays State University. While she was home, she threw a surprise birthday party for her mother Brenda. Monte, Linda, Kami, and Kirbi Stum; Henriette Wicke; Tammy Crockett; Jeanette Wollert; George, Tina, Jess, and Tawna McDonald; Cheri Hopkins; Dale and Lesa Nolan; and Brenda's husband Bruce all helped her celebrate her birthday. They enjoyed a Mexican meal and visiting.

Sunday, Monte, Linda, Kami, and Kirbi Stum hosted Sherell and Linly Stum; Jay, Tara, and Savannah Stum; Felix Henke, and Brian Ngai for a birthday dinner in honor of Henriette Wicke. They had a nice meal, followed with cake, ice cream, and presents.

Sunday afternoon, quite a crowd of people gathered at Michael and Sharon Arns' home to eat, visit, watch movies, and see Katha. Many of Katha's friends stopped by at some point during the day. Everyone had a good time.
