Reflections on our town

By Sue Seibert | sue_seibert@att.net

Well, I hadn’t really meant to write about this today, but I guess I have been to one too many candidate forums, and I am even tireder now than I was last week.

We attended the forum for local candidates, and what I reacted to in a negative way was being told that the only people who remain in Mineral Wells are “losers.”

Now perhaps there’s someone out there who considers himself a loser by living in Mineral Wells, but it surely is not me!

  • 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!”

    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.
