So glad to hear Mystle
Brown is finally home and
doing better, but we are
concerned to hear Speedy
Edwards is hospitalized and
having a rough time. We
wish him a good recovery.
The Harper Library had a
good day last Saturday; the
volunteers were pretty well
worn out, but proud of the
turnout they had.
The family of Irene Klein
honored her on Saturday
afternoon with a large
birthday party to celebrate
her ninetieth birthday.
Irene is so well known for
her beautiful paintings and
generous spirit; there were
many people there to give
her well wishes. Many
more, Irene!
The Harper Museum will
open for the season this
coming Sunday. They will
be showing art of the com-
munity and the best in the
area. Artists may still bring
painted items during this
week (call a board member
to get inside) and on next
Sunday. The pieces will be
on display for at least April
and May and it is hoped that
the public will make an
effort to come and see what
area artists have to offer.
The Prom is coming up this
weekend, but some of our
athletes will also be on the
road. The grand opening of
the new baseball/softball
complex last Friday evening
was a huge success and the
public was very impressed
with the facilities.
Community Choir begins
practice this Thursday, Mar.
31 and will continue.the fol-
lowing two weeks, getting
ready for the Easter Service
on Apr. 17. The Choir always
has a good time learning
new songs or singing old
ones, hoping to touch
someone in the crowd. This
year’s services will be held
at 6:00 p.m. at the Wild Ride
Church on U.S. 290, which is
also where the practices
will be held at 7:00 p.m.each
Thursday. All are welcome.
New Angel Food menus
are aout; call 864-4388 or
738-2101 to get an order
blank. Deadline is April 11.
Keep in mind the Spring
Expo coming up. There will
be lots to do that day and
you may learn a lot about
the community you live in.
It is a family day; there will
be things for the children to
do and learn and things for
the older folks to do as well.
Food to eat, live music,
experts on wildlife, plants,
etc., and animals, as well as
about fifty booths to show-
case Harper’s businesses
and organizations.
Behrends Feed at Bode’s
will be the place to be.
Pace is picking up already
as the end of school nears.
Maybe because it’s spring,
things start getting fast and
furious around town.
The library will also be
holding their grand opening
at their newly remodeled
facility. All are welcome to
come and tour the library
and resale shop on Apr. 10,
2011 at 12:30 p.m. Come and
see what this first class
organization has accom-
plished!
When at last we get into
April and only hitting the
highlights, we will have the
Prom on Apr. 2; the museum
opens for the season with
the artists’ show from 230-
4:00 p.m. on Apr. 3; the
blood drive in the old gym
from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
on Apr. 6; the community
Easter Service on Apr. 17
and the Fire Department’s
annual barbecue on Apr. 30.
In between of course are
myriad of baseball, softball
and track events, as well as
the UIL contests for the stu-
dents which we don’t have
listed at all. Other April
activities include any
church events getting ready
for the Easter season, the
bible studies, club meetings,
the bunco or card players,
horse clubs, roping,
archery, fishing, hunting,
cookouts and more.
How do we get so busy?
No wonder we have so little
time left for the slow life.
Our condolences to the
family of Charles
Markwordt, who passed
away this past week. He is
survived by his daughter,
Ruby, and three grandchil-
dren.
Also, sympathies to the
family of Thomas Perry
McDaniel who passed away
last month at the age of 28,
in Kerrville. He is survived
by his wife, three children,
two sisters and parents,
Perry and Yvonne McDaniel.

A River in the Skv
a novel by Elizabeth Peters
This is one of a series of
stories by this author about
an amateur sleuth and
Egyptologist and her family.
It is set in the early 1900s,
not in Egypt as usual, but in
the Holy Land.
They are enjoying a vaca-
tion in their home in
England and end up there
after a request front he War
Office to accompany a cer-
tain “Archaeologist,’’Major
George Morley. They are
there to protect their son
whose judgment they ques-
tion and to protect sacred
relics from getting into the
wrong hands.
Amelia Peabody Emerson,
the heroine is accompanied
by her husband, family and
other trusted friends.
They are not familiar with
this country, have never
been here before and had
hoped to do some digging
themselves to find some ties
with a time when Egypt
occupied the territory.
The title of this book is
the natives’ name for the
monsoon season, during
which the rains are so heavy
they seem like they are
coming from a river in the
sky. Keeps you interested
by the personalities of
“Peabody” and her strong
and impressive mate
and the convoluted plot.
