Myyardhasvaricose veins and doesn’t seem to care. I guess the upside is that the mower (that’s me) gets a break, but seeing as yard work is my main form of exercise that’s not a good thing. The cracks are widening and spreading, and any day now I wonder if I’ll come home and find my dogs missing. The rains will come when they come, but for now we truly “weather” the lack of moisture with prayer and hopeful glances to the summer sky.

We’re not certain what year this column ran. Perhaps you can help? But craft booths, bake sales, get-well wishes, and hearing aid checks point to the vigorous energy that still goes into our Senior Citizens centers in Dickens and Spur.

SPUR VISITOR CENTER at 101 Hill Street at Burlington Avenue is operated by the Spur Area Chamber of Commerce and open during regular hours Tuesday–Saturday. Vistiors seeking information on the area may email spurchamber@gmail.com or call (806) 271-3097.

This column is a reprint of my first blog, which started in the summer of 2009. The blog’s title (Check Your Mirrors) originated from many of my experiences as a summer driver education instructor. But the parallels were obvious that checking mirrors is a life skill, even when we are not driving down the road.
