Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Quinton Ballard on their wedding Saturday. From the looks of all the beautiful pictures I saw, it was a grand day for Alex and Quinton. May God bless you two with a long and happy marriage.
Two of Myra Jackson’s grandchildren, Cloey and Elijah Dempsey, participated in the homecoming court Friday night at the Water Valley High School football game. Cloey was a senior maid and her brother Elijah was her escort. Elijah is in his second year at Northwest. Cloey is a senior at Water Valley High School. Their parents are Bridget Dempsey of Water Valley and Joseph Dempsey of Tillatoba! Myra said she went but had to leave after half time because her back was killing her. Those stadium seats do get hard after a while!
David Deck and your writer visited with daughter, Donna Garripoli, and my sweet sister and brother- in-love, Tommy Hudson last Wednesday. It was good seeing Tommy getting around so well after his hospital stay.

Happy anniversary to Phil and Ginger Harrison on October 3. I think it will be their 24th and Phil the traditional gift is a opal. You may have to take out a loan for this one because you know Ginger is gonna want a necklace to match the opal ring.
Deborah McCool’s nephew, Michael Merrill, is finally home for good. He has been somewhere in Syria for almost two years. Deborah’s sister, Patsy Merrill, sent her a message and said he is home for good. So thankful for answered prayers.

Martha Box says she is still blessed to enjoy good music and dancing, good friends and good family all week and she is getting some crochet done when she lands at her house each evening.
She was up all night Saturday with ROLLING, never-ending thunder, lightning and rain. Sunday morning all was calm and she attended homecoming at Tillatoba Baptist Church with a gathering of friends and family – past and present. She reported services included a great message by Dr. J Courtney Selvy and a beautiful song special by Lakan Howe and daughters, Anna Lake and M.K.
Your writer is getting excited about my fall decorating. I found a box of my Thanksgiving glasses and cups that I couldn’t find last year. I’m still looking for a couple more boxes of decorations that I couldn’t find. My granddaughters and daughter are suppose to come and clean things out for me – hopefully they will find them.
Thought for the day….It’s a case of give and take in this world with not enough people willing to give what it takes.
