A reception honoring sweet Joy Mullen is scheduled April 6 from 2 to 3 p.m. The reception will be hosted by Yalobusha County Public Library System at the Oakland public library. Joy retired from the library board after over 40 years of service.

Joey and Katelyn McClanahan of Jackson visited Bobby Joe McClanahan and family last weekend. Also visiting was Shelby Dewitt. They enjoyed a big crawfish cooking by Bobby Joe Saturday. A large group of family and friends attended.

Martha Box is still working on getting back up and out. She will know more after a check-up with Dr. Kellum on Thursday. She has been laid up for a while and misses church most of all. Thankfully television ministers and Jesus’ love has kept her praising Him! Her sister, Joyce, took her for a ride last Wednesday to Enid.

“Yes, the fish was exceptional,” Martha shared.

Her daughter Ginger Harrison, son-in-law, Phil Harrison, and their boys visited Sunday afternoon bringing good food and happy faces.

Brother Jesse came and repaired Martha’s kitchen drawer for her so she cooked him some ribs! (Hey Martha, do you have anything else that needs fixing? Ribs sound mighty good to me.)

Ginger Box Harrison said she had a great birthday weekend filled with fun and lots of love.
Julia Kerr said her mother, Jessie Williams, is feeling better but still has a ways to go. Julia and her two sisters, Sandra McCaulla and Connie Brassell, are taking turns staying with her now. Jessie’s son, Phillip, is back in Alabama and doing okay.

Milton Harper came home from Tallahatchie General Hospital Friday. He had a stomach virus last week and his wife Sadie said she has had it since Wednesday night. That virus as hanging on. Their daughter, Sheila, has been taking care of both of them and now she has it. I just pray it will go away soon.

Have you ever started cleaning a room only to a find a stack of old birthday cards, get-well cards ,or a box of old pictures you had forgotten about? And you sit there and you go through every one and the next thing you know you have wasted three hours and the room still has not been cleaned yet? Spring cleaning gone bad!

Please tell me I am not the only one that does this. Sounds like it will take me through summer to finish my spring cleaning.

Happy birthday to sweet Betty Osborn, who celebrated March 31st! Starting our April birthdays are Dana Jackson on the 2nd; Jimmy Rowland the 3rd; Brent McMillian and Breanna Nobles share a birthday on the 4th; Bubba Williams and Jake Harrison on the 5th; Lil’ John Dukes on the 6th; Olivia Jenkins and Rachel Langham on the 7th; and Keith Beck the 9th.

David and I went to Grenada Thursday night and had birthday dinner at Orleans Bistro with Frankie, Brad and Bradley Holliday, Donna Garripoli, Earnie and Gale Holliday. The food was wonderful and cooked to perfection and the service was great! My baby granddaughter, Frankie, is 35 now!

Thought for the day…….Hunger makes me say mean things!
