In the meantime, I do have something good to write about. I visited Forever Families in Kemp, and I am in love with the folks there.

The board also approved donations to the Malakoff Education Foundation and the Malakoff Historical Society in the amounts of $1,000 each. MEF provides grants to ISD teachers for innovative and advanced projects. The Historical Society operates the Flagg House, where we meet, and maintains a historical museum within, including the Malakoff Sports Hall of Fame.”
HCN just received this update from TxDOT
“Water continues to rise between Malakoff and Trinidad due to the rise of Cedar Creek. Water is slowly approaching the eastbound lanes from the road side park outside of Malakoff to just east of Trinidad.”
“Crews are currently moving barricades to this location for installation should water overtake the eastbound lanes. If this occurs, traffic will be shifted to the westbound lanes which would then handle two-way traffic until the water recedes.”
