Monterey Matters

After having a few estimates recently on some new vinyl siding, I have decided to just paint my house for now.
Several people had mentioned this method to me but I was a little skeptical about it.
This will save me a whole lot of money for other things that I also need right now, like new landscaping and gravel.
My good friend Shane Powell stopped by last week and asked me why I was even considering vinyl.
He said he could paint it for now and make it look like brand new and save me some money, too.

Sadness has hit our community as well as our family once again.
On Wednesday, March 23, Angie “Tindall” Haydon was called home. Angie was 46 years old, same age as me, and also a whole bunch of other girls that all went to school with her: Troi, Donna, Beth, Ruby, Colleen, Debbie, and Sheila, just to mention a few. In the last eight or so years, this women has been through so much — more than any one person should every have to go through in their lifetime.

While shopping at Walmart last Wednesday, I ran into several Monterey folks who I hadn’t seen for some time including Martha Bee and Gary Brock.
I saw Gary in October at the Monterey Fair, but I can’t tell you the last time I saw Martha Bee. She looked great and it was so nice to see her out and about.
I also ran into Susie Ballard. We chatted for a minute, too. I was telling her what a great time she missed out on by not joining us for the tubing adventure. I told her that I am looking forward to joining them all again in the future.
