By Patcie Deck
My big news Monday morning – I have another great grandson! We are so excited and can’t stop looking at his first picture. Waylon Dalton Dukes, Jr. was born Monday morning, Sept. 23 and weighed 6.1 pounds. Mother, Holly, and daddy, Waylon, are super excited as is the baby’s big sister, Haven Rose. Thank you Jesus for being so good. I’m sure y’all will be hearing more about this wonderful and blessed event!
The Harvest Festival at Tillatoba Baptist Church is Saturday, Oct. 5, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The hayride at 6. and there will also be a cake walk, games, hayride, chili cookoff, food. Everyone is invited.
Reminder, ladies. They need items for the cake walk for the festival. Items can be dropped off at Tillatoba Baptist Church Friday evening or just about anytime Saturday before the event.
Faye Hartley went to her grandson’s (Rowland Hartley) football game Thursday night at Clarksdale then baseball games in Grenada.
“Happy birthday to our Mama,” says Gina Vick Bray and Malenda Harris Meacham. They all got together in her honor and went to Tillatoba, Saturday, Sept. 21. After spending time there, they had lunch at Cracker Barrel!
“ I know she is smiling big! We miss her more than words! It was a lovely time together celebrating our amazing Hannah Jane!” Bray added.
Those visiting the old home place were Richard and Dr. Gina Bray and girls, Rachel and Katie Bray of Southaven; and Dr. Rob and Malenda Meacham and children, Hayden and Hannah Meacham, of Hernando.
After homecoming services, my sister Ann Hudson of Grenada stopped by for a visit. I love visiting with my sweet sister.
After my doctor’s appointment Wednesday in Grenada, David and I visited daughter Donna Garripoli. She was working on her lawn mower.
On Sunday, Donna and granddaughter, Frankie, came to visit. They brought lunch and did some cleaning. Thank you girls! It was much appreciated.
Nothing going on, says Deborah McCool. Tommy is still working too much. She reported a good crowd at Tillatoba Baptist Church Sunday for homecoming. Dusty McKibben did a great job with music and the preacher was good.
“Lots of food of course but I skipped the eating, still not much of an appetite. Everyone seemed to really enjoy everything,” Deborah added.
Her youngest daughter, Kimberly Beavers, has a birthday coming up next week. She is going to be 40 on the 4th.
“Can’t believe my babies are so old, making me get old,” Deborah added.
Happy birthday to Blake Sides Robinson, Bubba Howe, Sue Weir and Jenny Lou Chambers on the 24th; to Don Bowman on the 25th; Bobby Joe McClanahan celebrates the 27th; Karol Knowles the 28th; George Biddle and Sandy Beavers on the 29th; and Rina Chaney and Kay Bridges the 30th. I pray you all have a great day of celebrating.
Martha Box says no real exciting news this week.
“Just getting over the last few weeks. Not easy for a wore out 59 and holding ole gal,” Box added.
Martha had to skip church due to The Cold! But she is alive and well this a.m. with just a bit of headache.
“Hanging in house with myself gave me a lot of time to talk to me. I mean, ‘Martha look at you, how did you get here’ talk! I’m still working on me, thank God He is also!,” Martha added.
Thought for the day… I haven’t spoken to my husband in years. I didn’t want to interrupt him.
