Beason's Best Baseball Team held their annual spring try-outs on Sunday. Everyone made the team and played to the best of their ability (or as long as their joints held out). It is rumored the outfield was an "over 30" crowd, but full of experience (as well as other things). Coach Avery pointed out any faults the "mature" outfielders may have had. According to my sources, Coach Avery is eying a starting position on another team if, of course, the money is right (or the candy, whichever seems best at the moment). It has been said that Avery has become acquainted with Mr. Dollar Bill. He has also noticed Grandma has Mr. Bill's friends in her pockets. So, trips to Grandma's are often a bit more exciting than a trip to the grocery store now.

The Rainbow Grange is having an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March the 15th. It is to begin approximately at 11 in the morning followed by a hot dog lunch. So, bring a basket and come out for a fun time!

Beason U.M. Church is to have a Sunrise Service on Easter Sunday. An Easter breakfast will be served after the service. All are welcome and encouraged to join us.

Something must've been in the pasture last summer. It seems we have had an explosion of calves lately. Rumor has it that there are still cows awaiting that special day. Apparently, a gentlemen caller had been pretty busy last year. For his sake, I can only hope the ladies aren't comparing notes. My other thought to this is, please keep your P.D.A. out of my children's sight this summer. If you don't, there is plenty of room left in the freezer, my friend!

Did I mention Brian Taylor's birthday is right around the corner? I am pretty certain that in The Big Book of Millwright Birthdays it states that millwrights are allowed to be very creative when it comes to birthday mischief. With that in mind, I think we are in need of someone to take charge of this torture (oops. I meant celebration). I think Andrew R. should assume the position. It would be just wrong if he let this opportunity slip out of his fingers. Do you know what kind of millwright celebrity status he could achieve? He could probably have his own page in the other great read, the Official Millwright Mischief Yearbook. Both of these pieces of quality literature can be found in the bottom of a Mason Jar Box underneath a black Camaro on some Richards's farm land.

Main Street Hair Studio and Tribal Tans will be involved in some special prom projects this spring. So, be on the lookout for more information to be coming soon.

The boys have been successful at missing the bus on the few days we have had school. I so enjoy taking them to school when I would rather not be seen at that time of the morning. Those are also the days when I have forgotten to put gas in the car the night before. So, therefore, I am forced to stop and definitely be seen in the public eye. I know Teresa W. has seen me look pretty scary on some mornings. My boys are thinking, "Please don't anyone find out that's our Mom." while we are getting gas. I, however, am secretly thinking it serves them right to be seen with me for missing the bus to start with.

Have a good week and enjoy the great weather while its here!
