Mexia City Council denied a request for a zoning change from residential to commercial at 801 Woodum Lane to adapt a large house to an assisted-living center at its Monday meeting.
Dear Heloise: Budder is about 14 years old. I got him from a friend who was moving and was unable to take him or Shadow. (Shadow was my big 22-pound boy who passed away not long after Hurricane Harvey.) Budder was small enough to fit in the palm of my hand when I got him. He was probably weaned too early, but he’s my boy. -- Lisa Clark, via email Readers, to see Budder and our other Pet Pals, go to Heloise.com and click on “Pet of the Week.”
Dear Heloise: I read your column daily and would like to share what I do when I receive or send flower arrangements. If I receive them, I immediately send a text or an email to the person who sent them. I tell them I have received their lovely flowers so they know that they were delivered. I also take a quick photo of the arrangement and enclose it in the message. Finally, I follow up with a written thank-you note that I send in the regular mail.
Have you ever pulled up to a drive-in restaurant, hamburger, barbeque, chicken, or other drive-in, and found yourself in line behind another driver? And when the other person drives off, you pull up to the receiving window to pay for your food only to have the attendant tell you, “You don’t owe a thing. The person ahead of you paid for your meal. The only thing he asks is that you do likewise and pass it onto the next driver.” You may or may not even know the person that was in front of you, but you were pleasantly surprised to find that he had paid for your meal. This is the theme of our devotion this week, passing on the comfort with which you received to someone else who is in need of comfort. Our text is 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.
