Dear Dave, My wife and I are expecting our first child in a couple of weeks. I bring home $35,000 a year teaching at a local high school, and she just completed her master’s degree in speech therapy.

Katie Dailey and baby Ophelia came and visited! She’s so cute and as you can tell, the residents enjoyed seeing them! Pictured is Marlene Dykes.

Greetings everyone! We hope that you are doing well and enjoyed fair. We would like to thank the Hooker County Fair Board for bringing the parade back to town for us to enjoy! We really appreciated it. We enjoyed the parade and it was so much fun to watch everyone get ready!

Dear Dave, My dad passed away about a year ago, but he left my mom in really good shape financially. They never had any consumer debt, the house is paid for, and they had about $1 million in assets. Dad also left her a $500,000 trust. Mom is going to be 60 next year.

Greetings everyone. We hope you have had a great week. It’s so crazy that this is the last week of July. Where did the summer go? I hope you enjoy the news. I lost my list of who came out for what, so I will try my best to remember. Monday morning I had a small group out for kickball.

Dear Dave, A friend recently mentioned something called impact investing to me. What exactly is this? How do impact investment funds perform, and what do you think about them?

It’s almost my favorite week of the year - fair week! It must be the die-hard 4-Her in me, but every year when the premium list and then the fair schedule comes out, I get a little giddy. I was a 10 year Hooker County 4-H member and tried a little bit of everything in my 4-H career.

7-16-2021 We are in “the interim” on the Legislative calendar. It is that time between legislative sessions. Most Senators have jobs, farms, ranches and businesses to attend to. It’s time to go home and reconnect with family too. It’s important to remember we have a parttime citizen legislature.
