Well, I think Old Man Winter is here for the next few months. It’s time to pull out those trunks and dig out your long johns.
I remember years ago my daddy wore the one-piece with a flap in the back and they only came in one color, white! Now they make the two-piece thermal in all different colors. Either way, they are warm.
Deborah McCool and daughter Angela Dukes went to Southaven shopping recently. Angela told her mother she needed a day away from everything, so she took her shopping. Deborah said she had a wonderful time.
Dana Huff visited her mother, Sheryn Goode, Friday and they shopped, ate and Dana put flowers on the grave of her daddy, Joe Wiggins.
A late-day Thanksgiving dinner was held at the Marceleno’s in Tillatoba. Lynn said they were blessed and thankful to have the daughter, son-in-law and grandbabies for a visit, even though they left two grands at home. Lynn said she was so glad they could come to visit. They went ahead and had their Christmas with Charlie and Sunni Cheyenne Anders and boys, Robbie and Walker, while they were there.
Martha Box said she was fat as a stuffed turkey because she had Thanksgiving three days in a row. “Wow! You talk about food!” she said. “So many good cooks in our family!”
Martha said it’s beginning to look like Christmas! Addie put up a tree the other night. After supper Friday night, grands Jake, Josh and Lilly decorated it.
Martha had a great visit at Willow Springs Assembly of God last Sunday, with emotional, spirt-filled songs that had her tears flowing! Bro. Tommy gave a very thought-provoking message regarding end times after the coming of Jesus our Lord. I so encourage us all to be saved and lifted up when He comes!
Daisy and Mickey Asbell had her family over for Thanksgiving Tuesday. They went to Mickey’s son’s house Thursday for another one. Good food, good fun with family.
Deborah McCool said everything is still pretty much the same with her daddy, Ray Bell. He is still in Charleston hospital swingbed. We are pretty sure he will be coming home next week. Pray for Ray and his family. Deborah said they are all doing good, staying with daddy and trying to work some.
Friday morning, Tim Sullivan and David Deck visited in the home of Donna Garripoli, where Tim met his half-brother, Ricky Smith, for the first time. Ricky and his wife, Anna, and their two sons live at Bay Saint Louis. Ricky is head baseball coach and athletic director at Pass Christian High School. It was a bittersweet reunion!
Faye and Mark Hartley and family had a big Thanksgiving. Nathan, Rowland, Mary Brett Hartley and Kristie Hartley Swope came and ate a lot of food. I know Faye put the food on the table! She always puts the “big pot in the little pot,” as the saying goes.
We certainly had a wonderful meal cooked by yours truly and daughter Donna and granddaughters Miranda Procella and Frankie Holliday. The men didn’t shy away from the table either!
I had a good conversation with friend Peggy Bailey Monday morning by phone. She said to tell everybody that she’s doing fine. She really sounded good. Eugene is still in the nursing home and doing pretty good. He celebrated his 86th birthday on the 27th. Not like he would like to, I’m sure. It’s too cold to coon hunt, Eugene! They had all their children visit at Thanksgiving but not all at one time, Peggy said.
Visiting with Frank and Freda Weir recently were her brother, David Melton, and wife Kathy from Augusta, Georgia.
Happy anniversary to Cody and Beth Deloach on Dec. 1. I hope you two love birds have many more years to celebrate!
Belated happy birthday to Kathy Hartley, Mason Tillman and Tammie Lott on the 28th.
To start our December birthdays off will be Deborah McCool and her sweet granddaughter, Caitlyn Beavers, Wanda Winters, Carolyn Toole Via, Dave Box and Darlene Moorman on the 2nd; Stephanie Holliday the 3rd; Keith Venable the 5th; and Maci McLendon Scott, Cody McLendon and Walker Jeffords on the 6th. I pray you all have a wonderful day celebrating.
Thought for the day: All my life I thought air was free, until I bought a bag of chips.
