What a happy feeling to open my Grenada paper last week and see Faye Hartley was Tillatoba’s “Star Spotlight” of the week. Faye is the hardest-working lady around anywhere. She has been known to hold down three jobs a day, do housework, cook and, in the summer, keep up the yard work. And she makes the best homemade rolls this side of Memphis!
Cheryl Franklin got a great report last Monday and can go back to work in another week! No doctor visit until the 20th of next month. Cheryl and Larry live at Hardy and are friends of ours.
Friday night, Katherine Harris Brewer, Candice Melton Harris and daughter Keri Harris went to their first-ever puzzle competition at Starkville and had so much fun competing with seven other teams to complete a 500-piece puzzle. Congratulations to these girls for winning first place! I know that was a fun thing for them to do and I’m sure they will compete again!
Darlene Moorman said her son, Keith Beck, finally got well enough to go back to work last week. Keith has been sick since Christmas. I know he was a happy camper. I’m glad you are feeling better, Keith.
Deborah and Tommy McCool were planning on going to visit their son, Christopher, and family in Senatobia but she has been hurting since last Wednesday with a pinched nerve in her shoulder. She said it hurts from her shoulder blade all up her neck and has really been bad this time. She has been using a heating pad without much luck, so it looks like she will be calling her doctor.
Jason and Kimberly Beavers are building a nice big shed, and helping them work on the new shed is Jason’s brother, Little Gary Beavers, and Kimberly’s daddy, Tommy McCool. Kim is going to use one side for her growing T-shirt business, “Customs By Kim.”
Frank Manzo came home Feb. 3, one month to the day of the wreck he was in. He still has therapy to do but he is so very thankful for the prayers that were lifted up for him.
Our visitors Sunday were Brad, Frankie and Bradley Holliday and Donna Garripoli of Grenada and Waylon, Holly and Haven Rose Dukes.
Milton Harper has an appointment with an orthopedic doctor Thursday about his rotator cuff. He can barely raise his arm. Milton, that’s no excuse for not washing the dishes for Sadie! I do hope you can get some relief. Seems like us old folks hurt all the time.
Martha Box said the freeze we had last week kept her inside piddling. She did get out Saturday night for a while and ran into her friends, Raymond and Myra Liberto. “He ran away from me fast ’cause he ended up with a severe allergic reaction when we greeted each other the last time,” Martha said. Martha’s daughter, Candy Box, came over Saturday and they worked on closets. Cleaning out, I suppose. Something I need to do! On Sunday, she took the day off and had church at home and piddled.
I talked to my sweet friend, Peggy Bailey, Monday by phone and she wasn’t feeling good at all. Her medicine isn’t agreeing with her. Please pray for Peggy.
Lil Logan Rose had his birthday party at Cossar Park, Saturday, Feb. 4. A big crowd was present and the party was enjoyed by the grown-ups as well as the younger ones!
Happy birthday to Noey Dees and Connie Simmons on the 8th; Willie Beardain on the 9th; Nikki Newsom and Candice Crawford Wiseman on the 10th; Mike Fox and Jessica Ford on the 11th; Wendy Pettit on the 12th; Robbin Laster Harrington and Billy Nelson on the 13th; Dylan Jeffords on the 14th; and sweet Rose Brown on the 15th. May you all have a great day celebrating your special day!
Recipe for the week: Chili Pie for One
One can of chili, no beans
One package individual size corn chips
Six-ounce mild Mexican Velveeta
Layer chips, chili and cheese. Place in oven long enough to melt cheese and so chili is heated thoroughly.
Thought for the day: The greatest possession you have is the 24 hours directly in front of you.
