Saturday is the Pearl Bluegrass Event and the Pearl Cottage Bookstore. The stage show for the bluegrass event begins at 1 p.m., but jamming goes on all day. If you are a band and would like to play on the stage, all you have to do is to show up and put your name on the board in the Community Center hallway. If you have questions, you can see Chris Ray or Garrett Dickey, and they will be happy to help you. Don’t forget that there is delicious, homemade food in the Bluegrass Kitchen at very reasonable prices. They are open from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. The remaining days for this year are Oct. 5, Nov. 2, and Dec. 7. Be sure to attend all of these days if you possibly can. You will love being in Pearl!
I was just told that one of Linda Ray’s friends, now ex-friend, sent her an inappropriate birthday card about her driving. I’m detecting a little bit of resentment in Linda’s voice. She did not know that you had to use your turn signal in Pearl. Mr. McDonald, you’d better watch out! You know what they say about a woman scorned!
Now, Mr. McDonald, on the other hand, may get a chance at revenge as he was just fired by Mrs. Ray for not showing up on what she thought was his assigned day at the church. What was on the schedule, I do not know. I suspect it might have had something to do with heavy lifting in the early September heat. However, Mr. McDonald still wants his check, but Mrs. Ray suggested that he stand by his mailbox and wait. (Something was mentioned about flying a kite.) We have a feeling that this is not the end of the story.
During the Annual Atchley Labor Day Fish Fry and Silent Auction for His Kids, Kay Pruett bought just about every flower in the sale. How she keeps Pearl (the overgrown puppy that thinks Kay is her personal possession) from digging up all of the pretty things in her yard is a mystery to me. Kay needs to be proclaimed, “Gardener of the Year!
This week’s Bible verse comes from Matthew 28:18-20: Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age. NIV
