Brent Wheaton was home Sept. 4 to spend the Labor Day weekend dove hunting with his dad Jim and other friends in the Haigler community. Sunday Sept 5 Jerrie Wheaton flew to San Antonio Texas with Donna Roberts to help Donna's daughter and family move back to Colorado. While there the group went to Sea World and witnessed the effects of hurricane Hermine. Jerrie and Donna helped drive the family back and everyone was glad to get here. Brent, Adam, and Stephanie Wheaton were home along with friend Josh Fink for more dove hunting on Sept. 11.
Laura Pearl Wall accompanied Bob and MerryLu Simmons to Westminster on Friday. They had lunch with Laurie and Spencer Perila and then went to Arvada where Laura Pearl had a doctor's appointment.
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Simmons visited in the Wall home on Sunday afternoon.
Quentin, Tonya and Taya Simmons visited Grandmother Wall on Saturday morning.
Lois Zuege and granddaughter Rikki spent a few days visiting Diane Sack and Hazel Chambers in Hudson, CO. recently. While there, on Saturday afternoon, Dorothy and Eileen Walker came over for a meal and visit together.
The Collicott Sisters (LaNeta Carlock, Myrna Mulligan, and Galena Webster) drove to Greeley early Friday morning for medical appointments. Later that afternoon, they journeyed on to Loveland, CO, up the Big Thompson Canyon, and spent the weekend in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Estes was celebrating its annual Longs Peak Scottish/Irish Festival; and the mountain village was packed with visitors. The sisters enjoyed participating in some of the festival activities, and attended the Festival parade on Saturday morning. Bagpipes and bands were everywhere---with players dressed in colorful kilts and native costumes. Over 40 groups and clans from around the world were represented. When a Denver Fife and Drum Band marched down the street, the sisters wondered if Laura Pearl Wall's great grandson , Blaine , was in that band playing his bagpipes----and yes, there he was! He may still be wondering who those 3 ladies were that hollered his name and "Haigler."
One afternon last week Floy Fisher took over half of a large watermelon over to Lois Zuege's home and visited for a few minutes.
On Saturday afternoon Floy Fisher rode along on a watermelon give away. On Friday Bill and Joan Hanson came from north of Yuma, CO. to Garry Fisher's watermelon patch. Bill helped fill 2 bins, on a flatbed trailer, with watermelons. On Saturday afternoon, several able bodied members and guests of the Yuma S.D.A. church, preceding and following the trailer as it moved slowly up the street, went to homes in the surrounding neighborhood giving out melons. It was heartwarming to see the smiles on the faces of the people when they received the melons. After walking the length of over 2 streets and handling the heavy watermelons, everyone had had a good time but were ready for a rest.
