A baby shower was held at the Weir home Saturday afternoon for Dakota Weir and Sarah Theriault. Destri Weir and Natalie Weir were the hostesses. Dacy was unable to come due to illness. Ladies attending included Joyce Dodd, Dana Waggoner, Regina Taylor, Malorie Padron, Jan Vaughn, Elizabeth Wallace,and Yvonne Weir. Dustin Weir, Wesley Weir and Robert Weir were there, too, along with lots of children, who enjoyed running around and playing during the outdoor event. The weather was beautiful and it was a very nice shower.
"Dustin, Natalie and Everly spent the night, as did Sarah and Lucus,” Yvonne Weir said.
Our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter, Tiffany, Perry and Jaidyn, came Saturday, and we celebrated Jaidyn's 12th birthday that evening. Joining us were Malcolm and Melinda Joslin and Ben and Shayla, and Kenden Joslin and Emma Hall. We enjoyed hamburgers, hot dogs, homemade ice cream and cake and visiting in the backyard.
I want to express my appreciation to the council members who take care of the Tira Food Pantry weekly. Joyce Dodd reported we are running low on canned meats. If you would like to donate food or money to the cause, please call Dodd at 903-348-8754.
I had the rare opportunity Wednesday to see a bald eagle just up the road from our home. I was excited that it remained on its perch in the top of the tree while I took pictures.
