Good morning or good evening, all you faithful readers. I hope you all have had a good week and that your garden is growing! With the help of Joseph Thompson, ours is looking good as of now. The rain we had last week kept ours pretty wet, but David finally got to run the tiller through it and cleaned out some of the grass.
Christian love and sympathy to the family of Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Moody, 92, of Grenada, who passed away Friday, May 19, at her residence. A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, May 25, at the Drew City Cemetery.
Martha Box said I know her thoughts on time passing by like a feather in the wind! Just the other day, she said, she fist fought a “bull” off of her 3-year-old Ginger. Sunday evening, she, the mother of two grown men, came over to visit. Yes, time is flying on by us, Martha.
Martha visited the memorial service at Willow Springs Assembly of God Sunday for their 80th anniversary. She said it was so well led with past and present history iterated. She said such an outpouring of Holy Spirit felt throughout. The event was followed with a great meal and fellowship. Bro. Tommy Darby assured Martha the desserts were calorie-free, so she tasted a few and she did warn him and his brother, Charlie, that if she gained a pound, she would pluck a switch! LOL. Martha also had a great meal with picking and singing at Carmella’s last Tuesday.
Daisy and Mickey Isbell met Erika, Kayla Ann and Kaleb in Grenada at Jake & Rips Friday for Daisy’s birthday. Daisy said it was good!
Phil and Ginger Harrison went with son Josh and his friends and their family to the mountains in Tennessee and they had a fabulous, relaxing trip! On Sunday, son Jake led the music at Pine Grove church and sang the special. Ginger said he did a great job! Monday is coming way too fast for sure, she said.
My granddaughter, Francesca Holliday of Grenada, fell through the pier fishing Saturday at the hunting camp. She is OK, though, just sore. It could have been a lot worse.
Congratulations to grandson Bradley Holliday for making all-star on his ball team.
Tommy and Deborah McCool went to their grandsons’ graduation Thursday night. Christopher McCool’s youngest son, Hayden, graduated with highest honors and is a National Honor Society member. He is going to college to study journalism and get into sports broadcasting.
After visiting with Deborah’s daddy, Ray Bell, Saturday, their three granddaughters, Hannah and Catilyn Beavers and Allie Dukes, went to town with Deborah and then spent the night with them. Tommy got the bicycles out and they all rode up and down our road. Deborah said I may have seen them go by my house. They said that hill in front of my house is tough. I didn’t see you, Debbie, but that’s a tough hill to conquer. I have made it a few times in my younger days.
Tommy and Ann Hudson and friend, Barry Baker, porch visited with us and brought me a beautiful rose bush for my birthday. Also, son Derek Deck visited on Monday morning.
Belated happy birthday to Lisa Chambers and Caleb Franklin on the 23rd. Happy birthday to Mary Hill the 25th, Jessie Anna Robinson the 26th, my comedian friend Bob Bailey on the 27th, and Teresa Jaco Bailey on the 28th. May you all have a great day celebrating your birthday.
