Memorial Day is a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered, traditionally observed on May 30 but now officially observed on the last Monday in May.

Martha Box has been busy doing the whawtusie and the BBop on that army of slider invaders in her house. (Army worms)
She said there was a great revival Sunday night through Wednesday night with great sharing of the word – a wonderful spirit-filled REVIVAL.
She’s been busy all week taking care of needs and wants, especially her workouts. She added, “you would think I would be quite curvaceous by now.”
Martha took Sunday off and did nothing at all until 3 p.m. She finally dressed and went to check on her patient/neighbor, then went on up to see Joyce Stevens, her sister, for a delicious supper.
