Thoughts While Shaving
Spread the love

With so much attention on Mothers … I think about my mom … Not sure how she could do so much with so little for so many … 6 children … all with different needs and desires … She had enough love for all, ’til her dying day … April 10, 2004.

My guess is more hail in Bladen County in less than an hour yesterday than recorded in years … Some impressive numbers throughout the county, maybe the most impressive in and around White Lake … Hope blueberries were not seriously damaged … a critical time for berry growers.

NCDOT has announced plans to resurface a portion of NC 242 … beginning Monday, May 10, at Baldwin Branch Church Road, west to the NC 130/211 bypass around Bladenboro. Construction continues on NC 53 from near Elizabethtown west, another much needed repair … and construction continues on the Cape Fear River bridge … US 701 … That project began last August, work should be completed in 2024. All together, represents a huge investment by the state in Bladen County.

Understand a serious wreck Friday AM on US 701 east of White Lake, NC. No details.

Tuesday will be “Russell Priest Day” in Elizabethtown. The former East Bladen coach will be honored prior to the baseball game between East and West Bladen. Priest, a former City Councilman and County Commissioner, died last year, July 2020…

Lest I forget … Happy Mothers Day to all…

“A mother is your first friend, your best friend, your forever friend.”

“A mother’s arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.”

“The influence of a mother in the lives of her children is beyond calculation.” James E. Faust
