This weekend I spent going back and forth to the Conroe Hospital with my husband who was doing tests because of shortness of breath. The result is a blockage that for now will be treated with medicine.
Passing through Trinity on Saturday on the way to Conroe was the Circle of Brothers event that was held on South Robb Street, and I wished I was there. I could hear the music from their club house, and almost smell the food.
What a great group of people that host so many fundraising events to help the people of Trinity County. They donate to the Elf Station every year and to individuals who suffer health tragedies or financial ruin from events caused by Mother Nature. (Kudos)
