Today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Rotan Elementary Faculty and Staff will be hosting an enchilada benefit dinner for Vanessa Williams, wife of Henry Williams. Vanessa recently had surgery and the proceeds will go toward medical bills. If you're in or near Rotan, please chip in on this most worthy cause and get a good meal in the process. The benefit is being held in the school cafeteria and carry-outs are available, 735-2456.
I saw this tumbleweed on 611 yesterday and thought "Now that's an honest to goodness Cowboy Christmas Tree". The cotton crop has been good and the wind was just right to help this weed decorate itself. It was wrapped around a stop sign and had a boll weevil trap sticking out of it, but by this morning, when I went back to photograph it, it had already blown across the road. A lesson for the photographer to always carry a camera.
