“Just the other day I fist-fought a bull off of my three year-old Ginger,” she said. On Sunday evening she, the mother of two grown men came over to visit. Yes, time is flying on by us, Martha.

Martha visited the memorial service at Willow Springs Assembly of God on Sunday for their 80th anniversary. She said it was well led with past and present history iterated. And such an out pouring of Holy Spirit felt throughout followed by a great meal and fellowship.

Bro. Tommy Darby assured the congregation that the deserts were calorie free, so she tasted a few and she did warn him and his brother, Charlie, that if she gained a pound she would PLUCK A SWITCH! LOL

Martha also had a great meal with picking and singing at Carmella’s Tuesday.

Daisy and Mickey Isbell met Erika, Kayla Ann and Kaleb in Grenada at Jake & Rips Friday for Daisy’s birthday. Daisy said it was good!

On Sunday their son, Jake, led the music at Pine Grove Church and sang the special. Ginger said he did a great job! Monday is coming way too fast for sure, she said.

My granddaughter, Francesca Holliday of Grenada, fell through a pier fishing Saturday at the hunting camp. She is okay though, just sore. It could have been a lot worse.

Tommy and Deborah McCool went to their grandson’s graduation Thursday night. Christopher McCool’s youngest son, Hayden, graduated with highest honors and is a National Honors Society member. He is going to college to study journalism and get into sports broadcasting.

After visiting with Deborah’s daddy, Ray Bell, Saturday, Tommy’s and Deborah’s granddaughters, Hannah and Catilyn Beavers and Allie Dukes, went to town with Deborah and then spent the night with them. Tommy got the bicycles out and they all rode up and down their road. Deborah said she may have seen them go by my house. She also said that hill is tough in front of my house.

I didn’t see them, Debbie, but that’s a tough hill to conquer. I made it a few times in my younger days.
