I received the sweetest phone call from a longtime friend, Polly Woods Dogan. I found out that she was living back in Grenada. Polly has been my friend since the early 1960s. After the holidays are over, she and I will meet with another friend, Nadine Bennett of Duck Hill, and catch up on our happenings since we last saw each other. I’m so looking forward to seeing these sweet girls!
Momma, Jennifer Bowman, and daughter, Charlie B., and son, Jack, each killed a deer all in the same week. I hope they have a big freezer! Now Brian can sit back and enjoy having his meat for this winter.
Your writer ended up in the emergency room in Oxford Friday with cellulitis and it has really got me down. I’ve been on strong antibiotics for four days and I have five more days to go. Say a little prayer for me. Thank you!
Martha Box has been so sick with Type A flu. She reported that Sunday was a tough day, and she wished she felt as good as she felt Sunday.
“But you know how a turn row can be. Looks real easy as you get closer to it but the weeds get tougher. That is what my grandparents used to say, I know for a fact now,” Martha added.
Martha said this flu has been a tough ride, she had it in 1977 and was over it in three days.
“This past seven days Type A about whooped me,” Martha added.
