The Mason Lions Club met Tuesday, February 7th, for it’s weekly luncheon meeting. There were 32 members and 2 visitors in attendance.
“Boss” Lion Jess Irwin said that in 1949, Joe DiMaggio became the first major league ballplayer to receive a salary of $100,000 per year. “Boss” Jess gave us a short list of major league ballplayers who today are receiving $30,000,000 per year or more.
Hearts abound in February to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but it’s also Heart Disease Awareness Month. Now’s the time to start eating heart-healthy diets, and we have four American Heart Association cookbooks that can help! Remember, we’ll be closed next Monday to celebrate President’s Day.

About twelve years ago, Chris Dyer offered me a job. He was a retired Gunny who had moved to Mason and started a construction business from scratch.

A Gunny is a Gunnery Sergeant.
I’ve not seen any St. Patty’s Day decor out yet? Seems to me the stores just want to skip over this day. But, if you look at St. Patrick’s Day, you don’t gift. Neither do you gift on Thanksgiving! Stands to reason for the commercial world. But, a day that says Thanks and Bag Pipes is a good day!
Granddads and Hurrahs...
Most grandfathers--with little or no provocation--are happy to expound with inflated views of their grandchildren.
One boast of a long-ago granddad caused guffaws as it blew believability to shreds. Proud of quadruplet grandsons--vaunted players on a championship football team--he went overboard with praise.
“These boys are tough,” he’d begin. His friends could complete the unchanging litany.

I figured this week’s recipe would get your attention and I don’t imagine most of you will be going home to prepare this dish for supper. However, I thought it would be a fun recipe to share. It might bring back some fond memories for some of you.
It actually brings back good memories for me.
In this paper two weeks ago I wrote a lengthy article outlining the issues and possible projects that the City might consider to improve our water system. That article went into some detail about the various concerns, and I would be glad to visit with anyone to clarify the issues or answer any questions, but I would like to provide one more piece of the picture now.
The men of the Art United Methodist Church outdid themselves Sunday. We were treated to a delicious barbeque dinner with all the trimmings.
For your calendar: Class Meetings continue at the parsonage on Tuesday evenings. Soup is served at 6 and the meeting is from 6:30 to 7:30. Mission team will meet on February 20 at 6.
Ever wake up and not know where you are?
Well, if that happens read the classifieds.
You’ll know in a minute where you are.
Or at least, where you’re not.
You’ll know for sure you aren’t in Houston or Dallas or on the other side of the world.
Just read the classified ads in the local paper.
That would be Mason County News (one of the oldest papers in Texas).
For instance:
Angus Bulls for sale.
Doubt that’s a big seller in Detroit.
Round and square hay bales for sale.
Anyone in Chicago ...
