From Ken Rodd:
Jimmie Carriere is looking for the 1983 chili winners recipe from Terlingua - possible you could put this on your blog and if someone has it, they could email it to him.   His email address is jgcarriere@att.net

A note from Sharon Pennell:
Attention Terlingua Tea Pots; there will NOT be a tea party this year in Terlingua. I will be traveling to TICC from CA and will not be able to haul all of my tea party items in our motor home for 2 months. I do apologize in advance to those of you that have already bought your new dress and door prizes. Keep them for next year and I will make next year’s tea party a special one. I would like for the Terlingua Tea Pots to donate money to the scholarship fund, you may give your donation to me and I can present it on stage on Friday…from the Terlingua Tea Pots. Donate as little as you wish or as much as you wish….you won’t be making a dish for the tea party so put that money towards the scholarship fund. Safe travels and I will see you in Terlingua.

Louise Hayhurst is recovering and doing well after getting her pace maker.

Fae Paske fell in her yard the other day and broke her hip. Fae is at Round Rock Hospital. They cannot do surgery at this time because they found that she has pneumonia.

Please add your prayers to ours for her complete recovery and the mental strength to endure this. As always, thanks for your love, prayers and willingness to come to the spiritual aid of others.
