Lodge 187 Round Rock shares July meeting updates

Welcome, Donna Mabry! It has been too long since we all last saw her.

All the kids are already so super excited about going to camp, and some kiddos were even going over the checkoff list of items that they need to take with them.

We discussed lodge signage and trees that need to be trimmed back to clear the building from possible damage to the roof.

We all got to see our young adult Alexandria Johnson’s invitation to her graduation along with her picture in cap and gown with a letter inquiring about a lodge scholarship. We are all so very proud of her and all her accomplishments thus far so, of course, we all voted yes!

We talked about upcoming events and even the rodeo in Taylor that is coming up.

It was discussed that the August meeting is at the same time as the SPJST Convention so it was voted to cancel the lodge meeting in respect.

We enjoyed a great potluck and fun time playing bingo.

The next gathering will be on Sunday, September 12, and we will be playing some bingo! So please bring a one dollar item to add to the prizes. Yes, of course, we will be doing our famous potluck!

Please keep all safe and well. See you all soon.

Pocket Knife Philosophy

by d.knape I remember mom telling me that if grandpa saw a vine or weed growing up inside his pasture fence

he would take his pocket knife out and cut it down just like that a natural inclination such was the reputation of Czech farmers industrious and proud of their farms neat as can be

all their rows were straight all their fences tight

they had pride in themselves and in their families they worked together and were not afraid of hard work

they were Czech but now proud to be Texans and so proud to be Americans. —SPJST—

Country Memories that Never Die

By Justin Everett Lodge 24, Cyclone

Green grasslands, fresh hay bales, bright corn patches, tall trees, and beautiful cottages. These are the images that go through my mind every time I head out on Highway 53 to go to my grandparents house in Yarrellton (10 miles past Zabcikville). When my sister (Jennifer) and I were little, we would stay the night out there almost every weekend. At first, I didn’t care for it since I was used to living in the city, but after a few visits, the countryside became contagious. My sister and I would have my mother drive us to Star Hall Lodge 47, Seaton so my grandparents could meet us halfway and not have to use so much gasoline (which is funny because back in the early 2000s, gasoline was only $1.46). My sister and I loaded in their Buick Park Avenue and begin our journey to the country. We really enjoyed seeing the cows, or “moo moos” as we called them. I always joked that God must have had fun making cows since there were so many different colored ones. I liked the black and white spotted cows because it reminded me of Oreo cookies and for a while, I actually thought Oreo cookies came from black and white cows ha ha!

When we got to the house, we unpacked and grandad took us for a ride on the four wheeler through their land. Grandad immediately had an activity and didn’t make us sit around and wait, and I loved that. Sometimes he’d even let little me take the wheel, and I felt like I was on top of the world. Next, my sis and I took a ride in the John Deere while grandad moved the hay bales closer for the cows to eat. Grandad then let me behind the wheel of the tractor and the steering wheel felt like the size of Texas in the palm of my hand. We then headed back to the house, and I decided to jump into the pool of mechanics since the countryside was rubbing off on me. I chained the Red Flyer wagon to the back of my tricycle and pulled my sister in the wagon. She felt like she was in heaven on earth. I even made train sounds as I drove.

After that, it was time for supper. Grandma made her famous fried squash and pickles from her garden - fried chicken patties and corn-on-the-cob from grandad’s field. The juice from the fried chicken and squash rolled down our chins as the corn kernels popped in between our teeth. The taste of fresh farm was filled in those cobs.

After dinner, we helped Granny clean the dishes then grandad and I jammed with our accordions as Jennifer and Granny read story books and listened to us playing. When that was done, I played my Gameboy (an electronic game) for a little while then watched some TV in the living room with Jennifer as Granny tended to her garden before the sun went down.

Grandad did not have a gig this weekend so we were able to hang at the house. Jenny and I were watching our favorite show, “Arthur.” Right in the middle of the episode, Grandad walked in the living room with a VHS tape in his hand, and I knew it wasn’t “Arthur Season One” ha ha. Grandad looked at the TV and said, “Let’s watch this tape. It’s got some good stuff on it.” In our minds, Jenny and I were bummed. We were really enjoying this episode of “Arthur,” and we had never seen it before. However, we knew it was not our house and we had to respect the rules. (If we didn’t, there was a switch waiting for us.)

The tape consisted of various brass bands from up north, and sis and I were not impressed. However, when I saw Grandad tapping his foot, eating his can of peanuts, and drinking his beer, I let him have his moment and forced myself to enjoy it, too.

Meanwhile, Grandmother was in the kitchen making her homemade rice crispy treats. These were originality at their finest. Imagine a less sugary rice crispy with more wheat and milk flavor. These were nice and sticky from the amount of marshmallow puff she used. She always called them marshmallow stickies, not rice crispies. Oh wow, I just now got that ha ha.

When 10 o’clock rolled around, it was time for bed. Still being small children, our grandparents wanted us safe to where they could keep an eye on us. Jennifer slept in the guest bedroom with Granny. And I slept in the master bedroom with Grandfather. This way, in case something happened to one of us, they’d be right there two inches away to help. As I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, Grandad had his reading lamp glowing like a lighthouse beacon. He was reading the newspaper. I asked him if he could turn the light off as it was hard for me to sleep. He just kept saying, “In a minute.” That minute turned into 45, and finally he turned it out. Granny also neglected to tell me Grandad snored so a full night’s sleep was out of the question. However, now I look back on it as a fond memory.

The next morning was Saturday, we would leave on Sunday. For breakfast, Granny made her famous pancakes burnt edges and soft batter in the middle. Thankfully, after breakfast, the grandparents let Jennifer and I watch TV. We got to see the “Arthur” episode we missed, and I played some Gameboy. Finally at 11 a.m., Granny and Grandad drove us to a restaurant in Cameron called Johnnie’s for lunch. My eyes looked like they had luggage under them since I didn’t get much sleep from the light and snore in the darkness. But nothing a bottle of Dr. Pepper couldn’t fix!

Jenny and I ordered kids’ meal chicken nuggets; Granny and Grandad had chicken fried steak. Grandad’s highlight of the meal was cornbread and syrup. If you ever want to bribe my grandad or get him in a good mood, make him some homemade cornbread and syrup, and you’re gold.

When we finished lunch, the grandparents took us to a nearby park to play. Jenny and I got on the swings and pretended they were spaceships, airplanes and even speedboats. Imagination comes in very handy at a park. We then went back to the house and helped Granny deshell some pecans. It wasn’t the most exciting, but I sang while we did it.

Then we went fishing on the creek on their land, and I caught a bass! I couldn’t believe it! After that I dropped the pole, and said I’m going out on a high note and left. Then instead of the tractor or four wheeler, Grandad took us all for a ride in his green Model A with a goose sounding horn. We drove up and down Highway 53 a little ways, and I learned there was no power steering which is why the wheel is so big; the car only went 40 miles per hour. No seatbelts and one little tiny windshield wiper! Definitely not an ideal car for a family vacation, but the crank windows made it okay for us to enjoy on a little ride.

When we got back to the house, it was time to go home as tomorrow was Sunday, and Jennifer and I were leaving. When we got back, we all sat on the swing, watched the sunset, and talked about when my grandparents were our age. They had no TV, no video games, and no air conditioning. They even had to walk to school in the snow. And they attended a school where the teacher slept in the schoolhouse and only taught reading, writing, and math. After the sunset, we all went inside to go to bed. I was surprised to see my grandad was not in the bed so I went right to sleep. Grandad was in his office across the hall. As I began to drift off, I heard a piano accordion solo of “Wild Goose Waltz.” He was practicing for a gig next weekend, and my eye bags were going to be luggage the next day. An hour later, he put the accordion away and came to bed and turned on the chainsaw of snores.

The next morning he woke me up and asked, “Are you ready? We are going to church this morning at Marak, and your mom is going to pick you and Jennifer up after it’s over. I thought, “Oh, boy! I’m gonna be pooped.” However, I made it to the church - now the service, that’s another story.

Now that I look back on it all, anytime I think about it, I get warm inside and all my troubles disappear. I will cherish those memories forever. —SPJST—

SEPTEMBER

by d.knape September is the middle child lost among the other months not quite summer not quite fall a month that never gets its turn to show what it can do never called on never acknowledged not asked to do anything exceptional the more popular October gets the better grades while September just sits quietly in the back of the room trying to look inconspicious trying to blend in. —SPJST—

E.R.

by d.knape People suffering in hard backed chairs arranged in a lobby 6 feet apart

they come in aided by family members coming from all walks of life some cannot walk at all

walkers, crutches, canes in some cases stretchers all pass by in search of relief

there is no humor here no smiles no expression in their eyes patients are hollow vessels of who they used to be

silence fills the room anxiety roams the sterile halls fear lurks behind every corner

people are just exhausted worn out from their ordeal holding in their pain waiting for their name to be called

they limp along they stoop they strain they suffer in place almost defeated yet ever hopeful

their fate in the hands of the emergency room

they pray for cures they wait for miracles. —SPJST—
