The Norway Duncans

Former Roscoe citizen Joe Duncan, who is now living in Norway, recently celebrated the wedding of his daughter, Heidi. As for the reason the couple is standing on the table, there is a tradition that when the assembled guests at the wedding party tap their glasses with their forks or knives and stomp their feet, the parents of both the bride and groom must stand and kiss. When the guests demand it, the bride and groom must do the same.

Joe actually sent me a photo of the couple dancing in the church in which they were wed, a grand structure built in the 12th century, but when I went to look at the photo on Joe's facebook page, I saw this one and just had to share it with all of you. It looks like it was a fairytale wedding.

Speaking of face-dilly, Hobbs Holler is now on there, so come join as a friend. Lordy, I hope I don't have to add a myspace and twitter, too, or I'll have to quit my job just to keep up with it all! Hey, that sounds like a lot of fun.

I saw in Reader's Digest that comedian Jim Gaffigan is on twitter. He is hilarious and clean, as is Jeanne Robertson, who you might be familiar with as the woman who sent her husband to the store to buy ingredients for 7-Up cake. Videos of both can be found on YouTube.

For about a week the county was talking about the murder of Jimmy Mauldin by Greg Redden. That incident happened in Roby mid-August. This week, the concern is for safety in Rotan. People in Rotan want a constable of some sort, the city doesn't have money for it, citizens feel like their tax dollars warrant for the sheriff's dept. to take care of it, and it seems the sheriff's hands are tied because of the commissioners court. That's just my take on it all, after reading a few weeks worth of meeting minutes and letters that ran in the newspaper.

Although temperatures are still hot, we know fall is in and summer will soon be fading. We (Mr. Husband) killed a 10-button rattlesnake in the yard last week, the Fisher County Fair & Rodeo and Hogfest Bike Rally is behind us, and many hometown homecomings will be celebrated in the next few weeks. Sweetwater & Roscoe homecomings will be Sept. 11, Roby Sept. 26, and Rotan Oct. 16. The West Texas Fair & Rodeo in Abilene will also be the weekend of Sept. 11.

Yays: My house at Hobbs, my husband and kids.
Nays: Can't think of any this morning, maybe just wasps, but they have a place in the world, too.

Hope you all have a good week, we've got chances of rain for several days to come. Thanks for stopping in!
