Tillatoba News
By Patcie Deck
Christian love and sympathy to the Sykes Wood family of Grenada. I met Sykes and his wife, Janie, back in the early 1960s. They were close friends to my sisters, Ann Hudson and Joyce Weir. They were easy people to love and had two beautiful daughters, Anita Jo Byrd and Leta Wood.
It seems like my neighbor, J.R. Dukes, had a great weekend at Enid Lake. The crappie were biting pretty good Saturday.
Jordanna Twilley of Nashville spent the past week with her grandmother, aunt and uncle, Zell, Shannon and Frank Manzo. She went home Sunday.
Shannon said the heart doctor in Oxford changed Zell’s meds to get her blood pressure regulated. Praying for you, Zell.
Martha Box says she finally got over a few stresses this week and made it to church!
Martha’s friend, her cuz and pastor of Willow Springs Assembly of God Church , was happy to see her but all he could talk about was reading about Martha in the Tillatoba News column!
“Good news is I’m still up and at ‘em . Jesus is still our SAVIOR. And Bro. Tommy Darby preached a great, much needed message regarding salvation,” Martha said. “Let’s stay in prayer for our country and leadership. Also remember Bobby McClanahan for a great healing.”
Martha met her daughter, Ginger, and Phil for supper at 333 Saturday night.
Friday was Tommy McCool’s birthday and his family had a cookout planned after church Sunday, reported his wife, Deborah. But Tommy had someone quit Saturday, so he had to work Sunday. His family went ahead and cooked out and he got home shortly after it was ready.
Their granddaughter, Hannah, had to be at work at 4:30. She works at Spencer’s in Grenada, so of course they are open on Sunday. Hannah and her boyfriend came up after church and got to eat before she had to go to work. All in all it was a good day and everyone enjoyed the meal!
Ginger Box says not much going on around her neck of the woods. Saturday night they did enjoy hearing Josh Harrison and Braden Sprayberry sing and play an acoustic set at 333 restaurant. Turns out it’s the last set they will do at 333 as the Grenada restaurant closed its doors for good on Sunday.
It was quiet around your writer’s house Sunday. My daughter, Donna, was in Georgia for a few days visiting with her daughter, Miranda, and Summer Procella.
Brad and Frankie Holliday and son, Bradley, made the trip down and enjoyed a day Saturday at the water park! They all loaded up around lunch time Sunday and came on back to Grenada. Donna called me a little after seven saying they got home at 6 p.m. and she had already turned those covers back.
Thanks Bobby Ray Jackson, for the bag of cut-up watermelon you brought Sunday. Thanks to grandson Junior Dukes for coming Sunday and helping granddaddy.
Happy birthday to Martha, Box, Sandra Anderson, Patti Ramage and Ernie Holliday, who are celebrating July 24; Sadie Harper on the 26th; Malenda Meacham and Savanna Nobles on the 27th; Kenny Parker on the 28th; Chris McCool and my sweet husband, David Deck, celebrate the 29th; and John Luke Rose ends out our July birthdays on the 31st. I pray you all have a blessed birthday.
Thought for the day….. You are your own priority. Fall in love with taking care of yourself. Self-love is the key to a joyful life. You are enough, just as you are.
