AUSTIN - Aug. 6 - Governor Greg Abbott held a roundtable at the University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical Center on Texas’ approach to flu season as the state and the country continue to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Governor was joined by medical experts, state legislators, and state agency leaders for the roundtable.
It’s that time of year when children return to learned halls, parents breathe a little easier, and those lazy days of summer quickly come to an end. It is a time we most certainly will never forget. In this time of great uncertainty, it may be prudent to remember who we are, where we come from, and the words of those who came before us.
Our numbers keep being around the same each week, fourteen, for which we are grateful. We welcomed two new Seniors, Joe and Betty Reynolds this week and hope they will continue to come and be a part of the group. Others were Gayla Lind, Earl Mask, Fonetta Simmons, Bill and Elizabeth Neason, Donna Lloyd, Ann Brown, Roger and Linda Watson, Neennah German, Janice Bilbrey and myself. We had a good lunch with a few extras this week being tomatoes donated by Candise Neal and our usual Sonic Burrito and an orange from our Center, a snack pak donated by Central Baptist Church, Thornton. All donations are appreciated each week, and a special Thank You to Central Baptist Church for our meeting place each week and the ice.
