The children are settled back in school, and things are back to normal. Those few days of warm weather lasted long enough for them to enjoy being outside.
Diane Dukes had friends from Virginia visit her Monday afternoon. Rickey Nations and his wife, Vickie, had a good visit. They wanted to know if Diane wanted to go to Greenville and stay for three days, but she had to pass them up.
Joanna Pullen had a birthday party at Five Roses. Five Roses is an old barn that was renovated into a nice place for family gatherings.
It is owned by Diane Dukes. There were lots of friends and family, and as Joanna said, “all my best friends are here.” Everyone enjoyed visiting and talking to others.
“Time sure is moving fast,” said Martha Box, “and the more I try to do, the further behind I get.”
Martha said she doesn’t have any real exciting news, but she did enjoy lunch at the corner store with her sister, Joyce Stevens, and brother, Jesse Wartham.
“I got to see Candy and the crew there,” Martha said.
Martha’s report also includes a report about Jesse, who has been down with a cough, congestion and pneumonia.
Thank Heaven he is better now. Bet he was tired of Joyce and me nursing and feeding him,” Martha said.
“So wonderful to see such beautiful sunshine Sunday. And what a great sermon at Willow Springs Assembly Of God. I so enjoy church with so many kinfolk and friends. Bro. Tommy Darby really shared through scripture how God is always with us. I love how he gets our heart and mind focused on our relationship with the Lord,” Martha added.
Your writer’s neighbor, Deborah McCool, said they had some things they needed to do Sunday morning and later went to Batesville and had lunch.
Your writer and husband, David, had a good time Sunday with friends Susan and Philip Bell of Caledonia, Donna Garripoli, Brad,
Frankie and Bradley Holliday of Grenada. We had a good time just being together. Susan and Philip left Monday to return to Caledonia.
Happy birthday to Max Lindley and Kerri Elizabeth Harris on the 15th; Trevor Croy, Rachel McCullar and Jimmy Dees on the 16th; Jeri Lynn Prigmore and Cindy Traywick Baton on the 17th; Linda Darby and Danny Jackson on the 18th. I hope you all have a wonderful day on your birthday.
Thought for the day…
“I walk around like everything is fine, but deep down, inside my shoe, my sock is sliding off.”
