BUILDING COMES DOWN IN BALLINGER

NANCY THOMPSON BAKER informed me of this "big news item" last week in Ballinger. I searched the internet until I came up with this video.


Last Tuesday a demolition crew took down this condemned building on 8th Street across from the Post Office. The building on the right housed the Willingham Insurance Agency, and a portion of the wall came down upon it. Luckily, they had evacuated the employees ahead of time. I keep trying to recall the building they are removing. I think the old Home Furniture store was there, but I don't remember it being two stories, and I think it was farther down. Anyone living in Ballinger know if something new is going in there in its place? I know when I lived there in 2009, the building was in such disrepair I couldn't believe it would last -- and someone was living in it at the time! Hope she moved out.

PEGGY BRANHAM KRUMLINDE just missed some more excitement at their summer place in Pendaries, NM. A neighbor sent this picture to her the day after she got home, and she forwarded it to me. Notice this was a daytime sighting! Peg, in the Native American tradition, I would say you have some strong "bear medicine"!

"We came home on Saturday - this was taken by a neighbor; that is where we take our Maggie to "poop" every day. Glad we came home when we did!"  Peg


GENE ROUTH lives in what looks like a rural area of Colorado. Do you have any wildlife stories to share with us? I hope the recent rains and floods were not close to you. 

Until next time..

Peace and wishes for your safekeeping,
