LADY OUTLAW SOFTBALL-2011

Lady Outlaws win runner up in District

WATCHING, WAITING AND PRAYING...

This is our forecast for today. Doesn't look great for our area.

BAD WEATHER IN MY PART OF THE WORLD

This is the main street in Dierks. This little town has been my home for the past 75 years minus a few while away at college. Some like the big cities and bright lights but I love this little quiet place with its snail pace life. When trouble hits everyone is ready to come to the rescue of those in trouble. Today, tornado sirens went off and people scurried to their storm shelters (storm cellars, storm house, etc.). Parents were taking their children from school as tornadoes sirens screamed and then the flood hit. Several people were rescued from their flooded homes by brave young men. Cows were being swept away by the high waters and baby calves were in the most danger. Many came to their rescue with a helping hand. It seems that in times like this the true heroes seem to surface ready to help with little thought to their own safety. Many other towns in AR were not as fortunate as our little town. There was so much more destruction in other areas of AR. ~Todd

This is the beautiful sun set following all of the excitement in our little town. ~Greg

*I steal my photos from FaceBook because I was stuck in my storm shelter being entertained by my two goofy granddaughters, the dog and Suzanne. Brett only makes an appearance when his truck starts bouncing around and he feels like it might be time...

GOODBYE TO A DEAR FRIEND

Hariol and Edna with their great-granddaughter, Teralee.

Hariol passed from this life on Wednesday. He will be missed by so many in the community. His greatest gift was helping those that were sick and needed assistance. The list of people he has helped is quite extensive. He called to check on the sick, he carried them to the doctor, he took them for treatments, etc. Hariol was the person that helped me the most when my husband was ill. I knew that I could call on him at any time and he would be there to assist with any problem that I had. I will always remember his caring nature and wiliness to help.
