Benny Walker said it best when talking about the hummingbirds. They come in droves and then they’re gone and another flock shows up. All you folks down south, here they come!
Homecoming at Tillatoba Baptist Church will be Sunday, Sept. 22. Service will be at 11 with potluck meal after. Bro. Rick Glidewell is the speaker and Dusty McKibben will be leading the music.
Debbie McCool said she and Tommy are doing better. “We went to church. Tommy was finally off for a change. But sat in the truck since it was raining,” said Debbie. She said daughter Kimberly and Jason Beavers sat around with them Sunday afternoon watching TV and enjoying the rain.
Your writer was up all night Saturday coughing and slept most of the day Sunday. Daughter Donna decided to stay home and come one day this week. I missed our Sunday afternoon conversations and her help in the house.
Our sweet granddaughter-in-law, Holly Dukes, had a rough week last week. She was in Oxford hospital with kidney stones and she’s eight months pregnant. They removed one of the kidney stones but she is home with a few more. Please add Holly to your prayer list.
Also please pray for JoJo McClanahan, who was back in Oxford hospital having a heart cath Monday morning.
Diane Dukes visited Trudy Simmons last Thursday. Trudy gave Diane some pepper jelly, which Diane said is delicious. They visited for a while and enjoyed every minute of it, talking about old times and how this world has changed.
Martha Box said her life has been busy. “Thank Heavens we know our Provider!” she noted.
Martha said they had a special memorial service for Jodi Wortham that featured a great gathering of loved ones, family, cousins, etc. “So enjoyed our Texas and Alabama clan,” Martha added. She said the young ones did a great job prepping and cooking for all and noted that it was so good, she told them all that she was now retired.
But then Martha got up and cooked biscuits and tomato gravy for the brothers and families again! “Yes, we are beginning the diet in a.m.,” she said. “Love is many different memories, and our so large family has dwindled down. But we are still the family!” Our family is too, Martha, and it’s sad we only get together for funerals.
Happy birthday to Dolores Scarborough, Kellie Sturdivant Young and Shevy Langham on the 16th; to Joyce Stevens on the 17th; to Rebecca McCullar, Kenneth Rowsey and Donald Wayne Bloodworth on the 22nd; and to sweet Joy Mullen, who celebrates the 23rd. I pray you all have a wonderful day celebrating your special day.

Thought for the day: People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.
