Tillatoba News

I know a couple of little Tillatoba girl cousins who started Pre-K3 and K-4 at North Delta in Batesville Monday morning. Joanna Pullen started 3-K and Haven Rose Dukes started 4-K. They both had big smiles. I don’t know how long that will last, but I hope all day!

Brandon McClanahan visited his dad, Freddie Wayne and Jojo McClanahan this weekend. Visiting with Bobby Joe McClanahan and other family members were Brandon McClanahan, Joey and Katelyn McClanahan and friend, Shelby. They all enjoyed some delicious grilling by Bobby Joe .

Wow, how did Sunday get here so fast, says Martha Box. Here I am wondering what happened to Wednesday as I drive to church on Sunday!

Martha reported a beautiful ride over to Pine Grove Baptist Church Sunday with a lot of thinking and thanking the Lord. She had a wonderful visit with family and friends enjoyed a wonderful message from Rev. Barnett.

Martha also spent a little time with her daughter, Ginger, Thursday. They had lunch at Geeslin Corner in Grenada. They She reported great food and a good visit with all there at the restaurant.

“You know I can’t tell you all my exciting news, but I did get another hug from my special friend, Raymond Liberto, right there at the Corner Store!” Martha added.

Peggy Bailey wants her friends to know that she is in the Tallahatchie General Nursing Home in Charleston. If you are over that way, stop and visit. I’ll bet she will have a lot of coon hunting stories.

Deborah McCool said her son-in-law, Jason Beavers, has been doing some more fixing up at her dad’s house. This weekend he replaced the roof on the front porch and it looks really good. Debbie says now she has to get around to painting the rails and handrails that he replaced a while back. Jason just can’t be still and Tommy got to help a little. Tommy had worked all weekend, so Debbie was a little lazy Sunday and sat in the car for church service.

David drove your writer down to pick up some things that I had purchased from Kristie Hartley. As I walked up the steps and in the door, with Faye’s help, I had a dizzy spell and had to sit a few minutes until I felt better. It was so good to visit with Faye and Kristie. I had not seen them in quite a while.

Sheryn Goode’s daughter, Dana Huffman, son-in-law, Lee, and grandson, Fischer, drove down from Bartlett, Tenn. Saturday. They had a good visit. Sheryn went grocery shopping Sunday. It’s always exciting when you check out, Sheryn said, probably because your heart races when you see the bill. Sheryn has two different doctor appointments this week.

My daughter, Donna Garripoli, and grandson, Bradley Holliday, came Sunday. They brought their own Zaxby’s chicken and when they got here, David had fried chicken legs with mashed potatoes and English peas. Donna cleaned my kitchen good and sweep and vacuumed. Bradley took our garbage to the road to be picked up. Thank you both so much.

I wish all of you a very blessed birthday.
Happy anniversary to Gene and Lillian Standridge on the 13th and to Don and Jackie Bowman on the 14th.
Thought for the day… “Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”

I got a good belly laugh out of this one. I hear it every time I get in the truck with David!
