The City of Buffalo Gap has a need that we could help them overcome. Perhaps you want to serve and have the ability to organize a group of about 8 people.

It's a simple task actually, here is what you do.

• You adopt the two-mile stretch of highway that starts just north of Buffalo Gap on 89 and continues to the tracks just south of town. Adoption would be for a minimum of two years.

• You agree to pick up litter four times per year. That's only 8 times over 2 years..

• Adopt-a-Highway signs will be posted with the group’s name at your adopted section.

• Adopt-a-Highway will provide volunteers with safety vests, litterbags and safety training.

• You bask in the glory of claiming a piece of Texas pride.

• It's a free, easy way for your group to help our community.

• Beauty is the reward. There is a real need, a lot of thrash right now that needs to be picked up.

Ready to sign up? Let me know and I will make sure everything gets rolling..

~~~~Thank you Buffalo Gap ~~~~
Thursday we met with the business folks of Buffalo Gap. We talked about the Trails End and giving away food. Not often enough that folks want to hear about what is going on here, so we really appreciated an opportunity to tell the Trails End story. Best of all the Business Folks of Buffalo Gap presented us with a good-sized donation. Enrique and Anay will be going grocery shopping to fill the empty shelves in our pantry. Thank You Buffalo Gap!!

Been a lot of folks by this past week to harvest in the garden. Seems like word of all the okra and tomatoes got out. So, if you have not been by come on! Enrique has helped a few seniors to harvest that is folks that find getting around in the garden to be a bit difficult. And it is difficult to get around in there, so ask Enrique for help if you need it. He loves to serve folks, just part of his nature.

Many of you know Enrique and Anay were in Juarez this past week for a follow-on visit with Anay's doctors. The good news is that there is not any cancer evident in her system, and her neurological functions were OK. For this we are thankful. On the other hand, while the exterior of her surgery site healed satisfactorily, internally she is not healing well, this includes the area where her colon was rejoined. She was given three new medications, and advised an even stricter diet to be followed. She is to have no sugars or artificial sweeteners, and her diet is to include fish and chicken, raw vegetables and fruit only...no exceptions! Her doctor also advised that it is imperative she get more rest. Enrique and Anay do a wonderful job of caring for people thru the Trails End food pantry. Let us continue to keep this family in our prayers.

Kay, our friend in the rock house across the street is home again. A couple weeks ago she went into the hospital. James and Kay often across the street to help us at the Trails End. Next time you are in the Gap looks across the street from the Trails End, likely as not they will be sitting on the porch waving to folks that pass by. If you need food for physical hunger the Trails End can help, if your heart needs to be fed stop by and visit with James and Kay.
