Turkey Trot preparations and local updates across Cuero
Alfonso Gonzales helps run scans at the office and hopes to return in two weeks. The Kirk office buildings on North Gonzales and East Main prepare for a Turkey Trot and Centennial headquarters. A new tenant work begins at that corner. A lot at North Indianola and West Broadway owned by Margret Miller Patterson of San Antonio is being cleared. White bumper stickers for Cuero's 1972 Turkey Trot arrive in about a month. We visited St Francis Episcopal Church in Victoria and were impressed by the rock glass windows and sparkling sunlight. The Y at Courthouse Street and East Broadway is covered with Indian Pink blooms. Birthday wishes go to David Luddedke, Marsha Kleinecke Meador of Austin, Alma White, and Scott Tomanec. Home Hunt for Today suggests using a planter in place of the grate when fireplaces are unused, with cactus plants and white pebbles for a sunny living room touch.
