Hi, Ladies! I meant to write to you sooner about this little encounter, but forgot until I was reading the Rush Co. news earlier today. I had a great 40th birthday and even had a sliver of McCracken with which to share it. On my actual birthday (August 23), I attended a wedding in Elkhart, KS. It was the wedding of the ring bearer from my wedding over 18 years ago. (YIKES! That will point out one’s age very quickly!) I noticed the name “Bookstore” in the program at the ceremony and asked my in-laws about it because I have noticed before in the news that there is a “Bookstore” in Elkhart with ties to McCracken (the McCracken News is sooooo thorough!). It turns out that my husband’s cousin was marrying Laura’s husband’s cousin! Her daughter was a junior bridesmaid in the wedding. We had a nice visit. She spent many a summer just up the road with “Uncle John and Aunt Carol” to help with Kevin and Kirk. She asked me lots of interesting questions, and I finally just told her to subscribe to the Rush Co. News!!!

The Rush County United Fund Drive is from October 1st to the 31st. Mary Beth Peach did a fine job for several years, but has now passed on the torch to Tomi Rues. Forms will be dropped by your house or in your mailbox. (Yea, the post office is open!!) If for some reason you don't receive a form, copies will be at the library. 100% of the money you donate goes to the charity YOU CHOOSE. The donation form lists national, state, and local charities. Donations may be mailed to Tomi Rues (address will be on envelopes) or may be returned to a receiving box at the library. Thanks in advance for your help.

Add dry ingredients in cup, mix well. Add egg & mix thoroughly. Add milk and oil and mix well. Add chips & vanilla. Microwave 3 minutes at 1,000 watts. Allow to cool. Tip out on plate and enjoy. ( Don’t tell me if this doesn’t work)
A note from Marlene Bronish says she has started back to school helping with a first grade class. The class has only ten children. She may volunteer for the kindergarten class as that teacher has 30. Marlene & her daughter Betty were in Monteray, California and watched her grandson graduate from his Korean class and they spent 3 days there. Her daughter who lives in Hong Kong flew in for the same three days so they had a very nice time visiting.

Congratulations to Jason & Carey Strader on the birth of a son, Avery Isaac, born Sunday, September 14, 2008 in St. Joseph’s Hospital, Kirkwood, Mo. He weighed 6 lbs. He decided to arrive early, about the same time as the remnants of Ike came through with high winds and dumping five inches of rain. Jason & Carey live in Highland, Il, so it was quite a wild ride to get to the hospital in time. He was named Isaac after his great grandfather and not Ike the hurricane. Avery has an older sister Elyse. Edith Mose Blair is the great grandmother.
