Phil and Laurie Cordel made a trip to Nashville this past weekend to see Elton John in a concert, “Farewell Yellow Brick Road.” I know that was a great concert!
Jessie Williams celebrated another birthday the 1st and her daughter, Sandra McCulla of Grenada, came up Saturday and cooked dinner for her. I know you enjoyed that, Jessie. Another daughter, Julia Kerr of Grenada, came Monday and brought Jessie some medicine for her cold.
Martha Box has been busy. She missed out on her grandson Josh Harrison singing at the Square last Tuesday. She said several people told her it was good singing and picking. Martha also missed church Sunday due to a cough she did not want to share. She said prayers were still good and she was out Monday. She had an appointment in Greenwood at 11 and one in Grenada at 3. I hope you made it, friend girl! Martha got called to pick up her great-grand, Addie, Friday from school and they had a great time at lunch and shopping.
Emily Little said everything went well with her daddy when he had a pacemaker put in the 28th. His heart is ticking like it should now. Emily is hoping that this helps him to feel a lot better because he has got some fishing, hunting and spending time with the grands to do.
