Hope everyone had a good labor day weekend. I also hope it means an end to the 100+ degree weather.

The first Sunday of September is the day we recognize someone for their Christian Service, we give them a plaque and small gift to honor them during the service. This year we recognized one of our deacons with a gift certificate to Lonnie’s Sporting (read Hunting) Goods. I held back from saying, “Thanks for what you do for the Church, now go buy some ammo!”.

Labor day also means Decoration at Coon Dog cemetary. I hadn’t been up for the festivities the past few years, so I rode up for a little bit with Luther. Big crowd this year. I’ve attached some pics from a visit this past summer with my Dad and Step-mom.  The first one, if you can’t read it says “Track, he wasn’t the best, but he was the best I ever had”. (spoken like a true Devaney)  The second one is my wife’s grandfather’s dog Lulu Belle and final one is us paying our respects to Troop, the first dog buried there.
