Although the water is high, the fish were biting last weekend at Grenada Lake, reported J.R. Dukes.
Go get them while they are biting, J.R.
Congratulations to Kason Croy, who made the Principal’s List at Coffeeville Elementary School. Doris Hoop is one happy grandmother.
Joey and Katelyn McClanahan and friends, Shelby and J.K. of Jackson, visited with Bobby Joe McClanahan last weekend. Also, Kenny Hardy of Sardis came Saturday and fried fish for everyone. Freddie Wayne and Jojo were there enjoying the fish fry.
Bobby Joe went back to see his doctors on Thursday and got a good report. His leg is healing well and his right foot is also improving. They removed the halo from his right foot. He is still on antibiotics.
Kenny Dunning is back home after visiting with friends in Arizona recently.
Martha Box said, “Because HE LIVES I can face tomorrow.”
She said, “as busy as I have been it is nothing as in my superwoman days.” More jobs started than finished. Oh well, that explains my favorite self motivating phrase “keep on keeping on.”
Martha had a great time with Phil, Ginger and Diane. They rode over to Cleveland to enjoy the music. She reported all of the students did well but you know her favorite voice was Jake’s!
Martha and her sister, Joyce Stevens, had a great visit with Larry Stephens Saturday. Still holding him up in prayers for a healing.
A cool damp Sunday morning transformed into a great sunny day and Martha enjoyed a beautiful ride to and from Pine Grove Baptist Church. She said it was a great visit. The service was led and directed by the young adults in the church. They also provided the music. She said it was fine preaching of the word by Eli Black.
“These young followers of Christ sure invited the presence of the Holy Spirit. Brought worshiping tears flowing from my eyes and I feel quite a few others!” Martha added. “Then we ate! My goodness so many good cooks. I filled up way before tasting several dishes,”
Martha was told to come back in two weeks for homecoming service! Martha, you know you will be there!
Ginger Harrison also reported on the weekend, adding they had a good time with both boys home from school. Ginger said it was a blessed youth day and senior recognition at Pine Grove. Jake Harrison led the music and did a great job singing the special, Anna Ferguson led children’s church and we were blessed with a message from Eli Black. Of course we had a celebration meal afterwards.
Faye Hartley says all she does is go to work, go to church and then to the ballfield to watch her grandson, Rowland, play ball!
David, my better half, went to the ballfield down by Papermill Road and watched his grandson, Brewer Deck, and my great-grandson, Bradley Holliday play ball. Brewer plays for a Cleveland team and Bradley plays for a Grenada team. It ended up being a tie game.
We had another blessed Sunday at my house with daughter, Donna, and granddaughter, Miranda Procella, coming and bringing dinner! Later, Summer Procella came with chicken leg quarters that a friend had cooked and sent. It was all so good! Before Donna left, she made a delicious white cake with a homemade cooked banana icing.
Happy Anniversary to Jared and Melissa Sturdivant on the 17th. I hope you two have many more years of happiness.
Ending our April birthdays are Tootie Billingsley of Batesville on the 22nd; Jennifer Bowman the 24th; Linda Robinson Colston the 26th; Mary Ann Carpenter the 27th; Tim Little the 28th; and Renee Wortham DeLancey on the 30th.
Thought for the day… To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
This was on the tombstone of my great grandfather, Robert S Shankle who was born in 1869 and died in 1928.
