The annual Hartley Bass Tournament is coming up Saturday, May 2, at the Hartley Farm. Everyone is invited to come and enjoy the fun, fellowship and fishing.
Tracy Pegram, Tray Pegram’s father, is scheduled to have open heart surgery Monday morning. Please add Tracy to your prayer list.
Deborah and Tommy McCool went to church and then to Batesville. After eating lunch, they went to Lowe’s to shop and then visited daughter Kimberly and Jason Beavers for a couple of hours before returning home. Daughter Angela Dukes and P.J. went to Alabama Saturday and spent the day with Angela’s daughter, Allison, and Cameron. She is doing well with her pregnancy. About two more weeks and Lily should be here. Deborah says she can’t wait! Deborah said she talked with son Christopher McCool, who lives at Senatobia, and they are all doing good.
Martha Box is recuperating, she said, from what little she has accomplished as she plans next week. She said she did do some work around the house. Last Thursday, Martha cooked a roast and shared with her neighbor/brother. She had a great visit with sister Joyce Steavens and they “pigged out” on fish and hushpuppies Friday. And that was all they got done! (Martha, I love the way you and sister Joyce diet!)
Martha said a wonderful message was heard Sunday at Pine Grove Baptist Church. Brother Truman Scarborough opened ears and hearts to Jesus, she noted, adding, “And you should have heard all that singing, especially those little kiddos!”
It was a “wonderful happy day” with a visit from her favorite son-in-law, Phil Harrison, and his wife, Martha’s baby, Ginger!
Congratulations to a sweet friend, Breanna White, who will be getting her master’s degree at Ole Miss on May 8.
Myra Dempsey is grinning from ear to ear as she looks at her new great-granddaughter, Storie O’Ryan Jones. Little Storie weighed 7 pounds, 2.6 ounces and was 18½ inches long. Just a handful of pure love.
Saturday, your writer and David visited our daughter, Donna Garripoli. Our great-grandson, Bradley Holliday, was there as well. After we left Donna’s, we rode just up the hill to the home of my sister, Ann Hudson, and visited with her and enjoyed looking at all of her beautiful flowers.
Our visitors last week were JoJo McClanahan, Donna Garripoli, Bradley Holliday and Brad Holliday.
Our son, Tim Sullivan, came down one afternoon and planted cucumbers in the garden. So far, that’s all we have planted. I was hoping to get squash, hot peppers for pepper sauce and a few tomatoes planted before it is too late. We will see!
Celebrating birthdays this week are Taylor Moody on the 1st, Festus Hailey on the 2nd, Larry Franklin on the 3rd, Alan McMillian on the 4th, Ann Hart Hudson and Cole Burleson on the 5th, and Diane Lofton and Ollie Dogan on the 7th. I pray you all have a wonderful day celebrating your special day!
Recipe for the week: “Pineapple Casserole”
Ingredients.
4 cups of French bread, cut in small squares
1½ sticks of butter or margarine melted
1 cup of sugar
3 eggs
Crushed pineapple (20-ounce can)
Cut the bread up and set aside. In a bowl, add your sugar, eggs and melted butter, and beat well by hand. Then add your pineapple juice and all to this mixture and mix well. Pour mixture over your bread cubes and make sure each one is coated well. Put in a buttered 9 x 3 casserole dish and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
Thought for the day: Some people aren’t just missing a screw, the whole toolbox is gone!
