Bible school is winding down at Tillatoba Baptist Church. A good turnout was there to enjoy the crafts and learn more about Jesus.
Congratulations to Kelli and Jacob Young. They have moved into their new home. I know they are excited, as well as Elena and Jude.
Tommy and Deborah McCool went to Batesville Sunday and ate lunch after church. Then they went to Senatobia for a visit with their son, Christopher McCool and family. With Tommy finally having a Sunday off, they really enjoyed the day.
Sheryn Goode said her grandson, Fischer Huffman, went recently to have his senior pictures made. Seems like only yesterday he started kindergarten. Her daughter, Linda, and son-in-law David Shelton came for a visit. They went out for lunch and just visited the rest of the time.
Those from Tillatoba enjoying the AEW Collision at the Landers Center in Southaven Saturday night were Waylon and Holly Dukes and daughter Haven Rose, Junior Dukes, and Kat Benson from Southaven.
Joey and Katelyn McClanahan and friend JK of Jackson visited his dad, Bobby Joe McClanahan and family. Daughter Kirsti Daves visited recently.
Martha Box says she is getting up every morning thanking our Lord that she can! She cooked a good meal Thursday for the 4th, taking some to daughter Ginger and family, and to Sheryn Goode. Martha stayed in the house most of the week, as it was too hot outside! “And besides,” she noted, “I have worn out that Daddgumm BeKini!”
Martha did get out for lunch with sister Joyce Friday. She loved that fish at the Catfish Hut! Bobby McClanahan had Martha over for fish supper Saturday eve. It was scrumptious, she said, adding that it was great to have him up and at it, recuperating so well! She enjoyed the visit with them all.
Martha also had a great visit with several work partners from their time at Grenada Lake Medical Center. “Always fun and full of memories,” said Martha. “Hugs and kisses all around, except had to blow a kiss to Raymond Libertto. Last time I smooched that boy, it sent him into shock. Allergic to me. We are now tossing our hello love-yous across the room.” Your writer says, “Calm down, Martha!”
Jordanna Twilley of Nashville visited her grandmother, Zell Manzo, and her Aunt Shannon Manzo this past weekend.
Saturday morning, Waylon, Holly and Haven Rose visited and Haven Rose filled my little refrigerator with Ensure. She was so proud of herself and I was, too! She and I were going to put a sweet potato in water so they would make a vine that she could watch grow, but the hospital called Holly in to work so they had to leave. I know our baby girl would have loved that! Other visitors Saturday morning were grandson Junior Dukes and Jason Beavers.
Happy birthday to Melanie Stevens on the 10th; Ruth Jane Hailey and The Coffeeville Courier on the 11th; LaJuana Williams on the 12th; and Jackie Bowman on the 13th. May you all have a blessed day!
Belated happy anniversary to Waylon and Holly Dukes on the 8th!
