Reflections on downtown

Anonymous Mineral Wells Index The Mineral Wells Index Mon Sep 10, 2012, 08:39 AM CDT

By Sue Seibert | sue_seibert@att.net

I read in the Index on Sunday that we are really going to have ghost tours each Saturday in downtown Mineral Wells and that some of the local shopkeepers are going to encourage this endeavor, keeping their stores open later and selling ghost-related items.

Since the Baker has sent out a siren call to ghost hunters and seekers of the paranormal all across the state, I think this is a very refreshing idea for bringing tourists to Mineral Wells. Places like Charleston, S.C., Huntsville, Ala., and Wilmington, N.C., have similar tours. They introduce a sort of exciting element, and they seem to bring in tourists. So, all I can say is, “Way to go!”

I sincerely hope it is tremendously successful and that it encourages the businesses in our downtown area to spruce up and look nice, which, in my humble opinion, will also bring more people to our town, thus generating revenue and making all of us feel proud about the place in which we live.

Reflections on local attractions we don’t know about
Last weekend, along with our friends, Jim and Louise, we went down to Coffee Creek RV Park to attend the “Sisters on the Fly” camp out, with their displays of various campers that were hand painted and decorated. If you’re interested in photos, go to my blog at http://siouxsue.blogspot.com.

Reflections on Keeping a Diary
Many of you knew my mother, Rose Ficke Sparks. In fact quite a few of you were taught by her, either at the old junior high that used to be the first high school or at Houston Elementary School.

Reflections on Patience
I had a person whom I don’t know well at all tell me what an impatient person I am. My goodness, I didn’t realize it showed so much to those who do not know me very well; but, of course, she is right. I am. They say patience is a virtue. It is, but, sadly, it isn’t one of mine.

Reflections on My Bible
Recently a friend of mine and her husband drove to New Hampshire to purchase a summer home. Sunday came and, as they had seen an Anglican church close by, they decided to attend. Instead, they ended up going to a Bible church down the street. As they drove up to the church, she turned to her husband and said, “I surely hope they believe in the same Bible we do!”

Reflections on Our Community
There have been several things that have come to mind over the last little bit that I have failed to mention, so I thought I would sort of organize them all into one column.
