Seafood Extravaganza Supports Kids Cove Respite Home
Seafood for a good cause rolled out last week at The Door Church in Laurie, Missouri. The Executive Director of Kids Cove Respite Home, James Radford, reported a sold out crowd on Thursday, May 16, 2024. Long lines of shellfish lovers loaded plates with crawfish, shrimp, sausage, corn, and all the fixins and enjoyed live music by Dave Dunklee with The Healing Box Project. Local radio and television personality Kevin Burns was emcee for the evening. A live auction followed the dinner with some impressive memoriabilia sold. A Fender Tom Petty signed guitar went for $2000!

A loud, pervasive type of cicada that emerges only once every 17 years will appear this year in far western Missouri, but apparently not in Kansas. Cicadas from what is known as "Brood XIII" are projected to come up from the ground in an area extending as far east as Benton County, Missouri — which is adjacent to Crawford County in southeast Kansas — says a 2024 cicada map compiled using data from various federal agencies and published May 7 by USA Today.

Lincoln FFA Hosting Huge Plant Sale This Weekend
Ya'll, I am TRYING when it comes to plants these days. I have several around my office and in my house, and a few more on my porch. The usual suspects. There's of course, Steve, who lives in my office. He lives with Michigan's Wife, Baz, Florence, Regular Sized Rudy and Namjoon. Anyway, you remember Steve, he's wrapped all the way around my office. He's actually... probably about three feet longer than this photo. He's a growing boy.
