Shelia Jackson attended a baby shower for Chelsea Gazaway  at Friendship Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. Chelsea received a lot of useful gifts. She doesn’t know the gender of the baby and I think that makes it more exciting!

Phil and Ginger’s oldest son, Jake Harrison, moved home from Delta State University on Friday and made it home just in time for supper.
