The Iris Garden Club of Hugo held its annual picnic, plant sale and silent auction on May 23 at the home of Jerry and Harolynn Wofford. The them this year was “Red, White and Blue –– This Picnic is for You!” The patriotic colors were abundant throughout in the decorations, table cloths, flags and flowers. The buffet table was adorned with patriotic table cloths and all utensils and tableware bore the patriotic theme. Shelia Kidd and Donna Colgin were cohostesses.

While visiting for a few days on a beautiful farm in the mountains recently, we always went walking every day. Those eight hundred acres were covered in large trees, meadows, and had a briskly rolling gorgeous little creek within a ten-minute stroll of the farmhouse. The family had carefully cleared roads and paths among all the trees, bushes and flowers that grew everywhere on their land. So, as long as we stayed on one of those paths or roads, and kept our eyes peeled for a stray bear or panther, we were good. We were free to wander anywhere and everywhere, and that’s exactly what we did.

You actually did it. You won the election.
