The leaves on the ground after being a beautiful green, turning yellow, gold then orange and brown is a dead giveaway of time passing. Soon we will have snow. The look of Main Street in Cowley has also changed. This summer, beautiful baskets of blooming color were scattered about. Now Christmas decorations light up the street. Christmas trees strung with colored lights are beautiful at night, along with red bows and lanterns.

Senior Chatter: Center Christmas party December 20

It’s almost Christmas and not enough snow for a snowball. I’m glad people have all kinds of fanciful snow people in their yards.
I think it’s wonderful that the senior center is having the birthday/Christmas party December 20, on my birthday. If your birthday is in the month of December come for a free meal, a token for another meal and maybe a gift. It might even be presented by Santa. Hope to see you there to help me celebrate.

Santa was escorted by the Sheriff’s Dept. to Byron Town Hall Saturday, Dec. 2. Kids anxious to sit on his lap and go through their wish lists ran out to give him a happy welcome. Cindy Lou Who was on hand to greet families and Santa had his elf helper alongside to hand out candy canes. A spread of a variety of donuts and drinks was on hand to start the day off with a sugar high. Thank you to all who helped make arrangements for another fun party.

Byron News: Joannie Rodriguez remembered and Santa Breakfast event

Last week a funeral was held for Joannie Rodriguez, a lifelong resident of Byron. Joannie was a couple years behind me in school. Her sister Nora Lee was in my class, so growing up, Joannie was just the kid sister. When I moved back to Byron I quickly realized that there was a force that had stayed and made their  homes and raised their families in Byron.

Byron News: Newcomers welcome to Byron

A local seemingly abandoned property had been vacant for quite a few years and got a bit worse for wear each year. The yard collected more junk. The roof began to sag. People were curious.
A lot of people lost interest and ran away when they saw all of the abandoned vehicles and motors, including a trailer house behind the fences. This place was in a holding pattern. The original owners had died, and it seemed destined to just sit and deteriorate year after year.
