The Pearl Community Center Flea Market will be held on October 14th and 15th this year. Friday’s hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday’s hours are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Community Center kitchen will have homemade breakfast, lunch, and dessert items for sale both days. For more information, please check out the Pearl Cottage Bookstore and Resale Shop Facebook page. There are still booths and spaces available to rent! You can text or call 254-595-1096 to rent spaces.
The Pearl Church of Christ will celebrate their 127th Homecoming on October 16th with Edward Schaub as the speaker. A catered lunch on the grounds will follow the service. Everyone is invited to attend! Feel free to drive your vintage vehicle to Pearl Church of Christ that day!
The Pearl Cottage Bookstore and Resale Shop will be open on Saturday, October 1st from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Now that Linda, Corlisa, and Kay are famous (since they recently made the front page of The Gatesville Messenger), you can visit with celebrities (ask for autographs!), purchase some great books for some relaxing fall reading, and shop for treasures that will make you smile! At Pearl Cottage Bookstore, you may come in as a customer, but you will leave as a friend! Plus, all proceeds go toward the local charities that the bookstore supports!
Other news:
My nephew came up to me the other day and said, “Aunt B, when I grow up, I want to play in a bluegrass band.” I sadly replied, “Sorry, nephew, you can’t do both.”
Strolling through the Pearl Cemetery with a banjo player the other day, he asked why they bury guitar players ten feet under. With a face lacking any guile, Chris replied, “Because deep down, they’re really pretty nice guys.”
Seriously, the next Bluegrass event will be October 1st…and that’s no joke!
This week’s Bible verse— “...even if…” NIV
