Hey there, neighbor! So, yesterday was quite the day in Abilene, and I wanted to fill you in on some of the highlights that had everyone talking. First up, we saw U.S. Representative Jodey Arrington take a moment to reflect on his time in office as he prepares to step down from serving District 19. It’s hard to believe he’s passing the torch after all he’s done for our community. Jodey shared some heartfelt thoughts about his legacy and the future of the Big Country, emphasizing the importance of leadership and the next generation. It's always interesting to hear local leaders discuss their journeys, and this was no exception!
On a more somber note, we had a fire in north Abilene that got everyone’s attention yesterday afternoon. Fire crews rushed to PR 343 after a trailer home caught fire, which the family claims was sparked by an overnight trash burn. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but it definitely sent a plume of smoke into the air that had folks worried. It’s a reminder for all of us to be super careful with outdoor burning, especially as we move into the cooler months when things can get a little dry.
Overall, it was a day filled with reflection and some reminders about safety in our community. It’s always nice to see our local leaders thinking ahead and caring about our future, even if things get a little chaotic at times. Let's keep supporting each other and stay safe out there!

Hey there, neighbor! Let’s catch up on what happened yesterday in Abilene. One of the most heartwarming stories came from the world of veterans. There’s a local veteran on a mission to help others heal from their inner battles through the use of psychedelics. It’s a powerful initiative that seeks to address the invisible wounds many service members face after coming home. It’s great to see our community supporting those who’ve fought for us in such innovative ways, isn’t it?
Hey there, neighbor! Yesterday was quite a day in Abilene, and there are some touching stories mixed in with the usual happenings. One that really stood out was about Samantha Wallermann, a super inspiring mom of six who has a heart of gold. She and her husband started with two biological kids and then expanded their family through adoption, welcoming four more little ones into their home. It's a beautiful reminder of how love can create a family, regardless of how it comes together.
