News From KOA
This first story has nothing to do
with the koa but I feel it is important
to let people with pets know what
can happen if you feed your dog to
much chicken. Most of you know
LI’L STUFF.
I am here to tell you that one day
last week I awoke just as the sun was
starting to shine in the window and
there was STUFF sitting the the bed
post trying to crow.
The fishing still is’nt any thing to
brag about. Owen captured a 8V2
pound yellow last week. The Herms
boys came in Monday. They seem to
prime the fish pump so maybe
things will get better now.
We have had three beautiful days
in a row, just what we should expect
this time of the year. By metioning it
we will probably go back to what we
have been haveing. I hope this good
sun shine will help those of us that
are house bound with colds and flu.

we had Thusday nights supper
catered in by Underwoods Bar-Bee-

the Red Barn. Lois and I didn’t get to
go account Lois being down, next
time.
We are just about filled up out here

been down in the valley and some
are on their way. Too many people
down there to suit me so we just
hang around here. The people in
Mathis give me the impression that
they appreciate us winter folks so
why go else where.
Last week I mentioned about the
folks showing pictures taken while
biking thru europe. Well they show-
ed some more Friday evening and
this time I was there. They showed
some pictures of flowers that were
so red it was unbelievable. The
gardens were just fantastic. Every
thing looked so clean-even the
streets and buildings. Just watching
the folke ride their bikes wore me
out tho.
This will have to do it for this
week. Knowing Gloria’s husband
there will no doubt be news next
week. SIG AH NORA!
