Penelope News ByMaryBruegger
Mrs. Willa Mae Cervenka writes well for Czech Heritage Society
of Texas. I hope she stays.
There was a big change in the weather. The weatherman an-
nounced that everyone got out their coats and sweaters.
A "Blue Norther" was on the way and a possible drop in the
temperatures.. .maybe 30 to 40 degrees. 1 remember the first time 1
heard that Texas has "Blue Northers." I was just out of high school
where the heaviest clothing I ever wore was a sweater. Maybe the
climate was wanner in those days. But the year I started to work was
a warm day in August and the bosses came into the room and said
they were taking everyone home.. .A "Blue Norther" was on the way
and everyone was wearing summer clothes. I don't remember when
the drop in temperature was that day but it was suddenly cold and
we wore warm clothes the next day when we returned to work.
People from the North think it is strange to hear of a "Blue
Norther," but they are real. I remember looking toward Malone one
bright, sunny day and saw a dark blue streak along the horizon. I told
my mother a "Blue Norther" is on the way. It was so warm it did not
seem possible, but I grabbed a dishpan and ran outside. We had a
large bush of plum tomatoes by the back door. They were still green,
but I picked all of them. The Norther came, but we had tomatoes all
winter. We spread papers on the floor in one room to let the tomatoes
ripen since we did not have time to can them green. A bush had never
had so many tomatoes before or since. Better to be quick than sorry.
The sick of the Penelope Parish that we have been asked to
remember in our prayers are Ben Firasek, Rudy Barton, Hattie
Hubik, Regina Vanek, Justin Waters, Amiela Kaluza, Annie Pribyla,
Robert Krai and Shera Arriola.
Father Jerry's bible class has resumed at the Catholic Church in
Abbott. The course will continue with the historical books of the bible
beginning with Joshua. This is an excellent opportunity to do
something spiritual for Lent. Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston
reminds us that to be a Catholic, we must be unconditionally pro-life.
In the bible Jeremiah (Chapter 1: Verse 5) quotes God's words
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you: Before you came to
birth I consecrated you."
Freddie Machac would like to thank everyone for cards, prayers
and phone calls before, during and after their stay at M.D. Anderson
Hospital and Father Reinhard for visits, comforting words and
prayers.
Birome News ByM^n-Au.ti„
A correction from last week's news. It was "Henry Wilson" for-
merly of Birome and now living in Irving, not "Henry Williams."
Those who remember the Wilsons, they lived in the Campbell house
and Cecil Anderson said the people around called him Tievine
Wilson by having so many tie vines on the land he farmed.
Mrs. Vince (Bonnie) Brown brought their baby girl out to see me
last Monday. Her mom, Mrs. Barbara Kreder of Bellmead and
Carolyn Brown, came with her and the norther struck about 1 p.m.
while they were here and the temperature began falling and fast.
The cold weather was here again. I had not got to see my great-
granddaughter and she is a pretty and precious baby. She has black
hair and black eyes and did not cry while they were here.
I went with Janet to take Denae to Mount Calm last Wednesday
evening and Janet and I visited with Gwen Baker. It seems our visits
. are never long enough.
Melissa, Brenna and Jonathon came and spent Saturday after-
noon with me and we stayed out most of the time with the children
as it was so nice and warm, just a bit windy, but nice. Missy brought
Brenna's new bike with training wheels and she learned to turn
around with it. Being in so much this winter, they were glad to be out.
James came by a few minutes on his way to the farm. Annette went
to Houston last Monday to be with Daphne for surgery on her knee.
She got hurt on their ski trip during Christmas tMidays. She is
recuperating nicely, but has had much pain.
Col. Tal Anderson of Harker Heights visited his dad Saturday and
| they went to Hubbard to eat.
We still have a few folks that were not able to attend Church. Both
