Hopefully the oppressive heat has moved on, at least for a couple of days…Highs in the upper 80s today and Monday and lows tonight in the 60s.The rain came and hopefully it was a crop-savor…We will see….Rainfall amounts vary greatly in the area…At the Hester household, (less than 3 miles southeast of Elizabethtown, as the crow flies) we had about 2 3/4 inches over the past 48 hours. Could use more.
Southeastern Carolina Crossroads Open House is set for this afternoon from 2 to 4 p.m. Remarks by Rev. Bruce Cannon, David Chesnutt (Camp Director) and Rep. William Brisson.

64 years ago, 1950, Amos n Andy premiered on CBS-TV…..I loved those type shows, Red Foxx, Andy Griffith, Hee Haw, Lucy, and Flip Wilson…
Enjoy the weather for the next few hours…90s return Tuesday…
