It's a great day in the neighborhood here in Morganton, NC. It turned sunny this afternoon, though rain is expected tonight and for the weekend. If you choose to look up, you can see a beautiful sky. It amazes me to see the different scenes that the sky can produce. I look out my window most evenings toward Table Rock Mountain and see blue sky with white fluffs like cotton candy, pale pink streaks, rosy colored hues, or glowing golden splashes moving behind a cloud. I often ask my husband, "Do you see the sky?" These beautiful colors don't appear for very long.

Sometimes the sky is grey and dreary looking. It seems to be trying to remind us that we have cares and problems in this world. Then I recall the old man who said, "If you don't have a problem, there is a good chance that someone has already preached your funeral."

Let's keep looking up and perhaps we will find another great day in the neighborhood.

  Help Support Burke County Schools Morganton and Burke County have been in the spotlight this week over the termination of Burke County School Superintendent David Burleson's contract. Like most of our community, our office is outraged over the treatment he has received.

Please join with us in signing this online petition requesting the resignation of certain school board members:

It has been busy this week in our office at C. Ervin. The students are on spring break here in Burke County, NC. Spring seems to have arrived. There is a beautiful pink dogwood outside our window. The azaleas seem extra colorful this year, and heavily loaded with blossoms. The lilacs are blooming. It is a gorgeous time of year in North Carolina.

The winter flowers outside the office are still blooming.

Flat Stanley has come to Morganton, NC for a visit. He is on an adventure for my great neice, five-year old Brianna, from the Stout Memorial UMC Preschool in Parkersburg, WV. I brought him to work with me here at C. Ervin to help me answer the phone. Laura was already familiar with Flat Stanley and was very excited to see him.

I plan to take him to visit my son and daughter-in-law in Kernersville on Easter. He can also meet their new puppy, Ginger.

Here is a picture of Brianna and her friend on a school field trip to the firehouse.

If any of our site visitors have met Flat Stanley, please send me an email about your adventure.
