My great grandson, Bradley Holliday of Grenada, and my grandson, Brewer Deck of Cleveland, played in the Mississippi Grand Slam State Tournament last weekend at Tupelo and won the whole thing. The team played great baseball for three days straight and came out victorious, showing great grit and determination. Let’s congratulate PYB Elite on becoming the MS Grand Slam 12U A State Champions.
Haven Rose Dukes played her first game of T-Ball for the season Tuesday night at the Rosebloom ball field and was a happy little camper. She is a good little player and can hit and catch the ball. This is her second year of playing T-ball.
My sister, Ann Hudson, and Barry Baker stopped by for a short visit Tuesday after taking Ann’s daughter, Laura, Cliff Torrence and Madison to the airport in Southaven. They were going back to their home in California.
Mike and Rhonda Hailey of Houston visited Festus, Ruth Jane and Amanda Hailey Friday afternoon and they all went to Cracker Barrel in Batesville to eat supper.
Jared Robinson, is that fish you were holding up on Facebook for real? Jared was holding a big sword fish and he was not going to reveal where it came from. Not even to his grandmother, Connie Cockerel. Look ashamed, Jared!
My up is not quite at’-em yet, but I am working on it, reports Martha Box. Martha says the real news is the same as forever. JESUS IS FOREVER! She enjoyed a great Pentecost Day service from Bro. Tommy Darby via the Facebook!
“So enjoyed the singing and worship. I will try make it to church next week,” Martha added.
Martha is still recuperating from foot surgery and also reports the physical therapy is working great, still requiring good workouts. She also reported a good lunch at the Corner Store Wednesday and Saturday – great food and great service.
Martha’s sister, Joyce, Doggie Dee, Ginger, Phil, and the boys came and visited Sunday afternoon. “And yes, I put Phil and Josh to work installing something for me,” Martha added. “Brother Jesse’s grand boys came by to trim some bushes for me. And along came my little Princess neighbor looking so pretty. I say I have been blessed over and over!” Martha said.
Yes you have, Martha.
Kristie Hartley has been in Destin, Fla. this past week with her friend, Annie Box, and her family. Faye was in Tupelo from Friday until Sunday for her grandson’s, Rowland Hartley, ball games. She is one dedicated grandmother!
My daughter, Donna, came up Sunday and enjoyed some homemade pimento cheese sandwiches for lunch. After eating she cleaned out a cabinet that I had started two days before and swept and vacuumed my floors. I don’t think she minds doing things like that because she always finds something she wants! Ha ha!
A little funny for you all. I went this week and had my new hearing aids checked. The doctor asked me if I was enjoying them and I told her, yes, and had I always thought that my little great granddaughter has the sweetest little voice. (By the way, she is a little red-headed girl and I always told people to be a redhead, she and I didn’t think she was going to be hot tempered. You know what they say about redheaded people.)
Well, after getting my new hearing aids and going to visit her, I found out that she doesn’t talk so soft anymore. Maybe I needed those hearing aids a long time ago.
Happy birthday to Bo Williamson and Stacy Langham on the 11th; Alice Beverly McBride celebrates on the 14th; my sweet neighbor, Lila Myrick, Bro. Rickey Harris and Allison Dukes celebrate the 14th; Donna Gunn and twin brother, David McMillian, celebrate on the 16th. I pray all of you enjoy your day!
Thought for the day… My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far
I’ve finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already.”
