Martha Box is doing very well and minding her family during her recovery. Well, most of the time she minds her family. She said she was getting good care from her family. Her brother, Ronnie Wortham, came up all the way from Texas. They had a great short visit and he fed her well. I think Martha is enjoying not having to cook. Don’t get too used to it, Martha, ’cause you gonna be up and going before too much longer.
Martha said daughter Ginger, Phil and the boys visited Sunday afternoon and sister Joyce is putting in quite a lot of nursing hours. “I think I will put in for her a raise,” Martha said. Martha added that brother Jessie is running in and out checking on her and fixing things. Martha is missing her church gatherings but says she is still praising God all day, every day, noting that “He lifts me up!”
Brother Mike and Steve Ramage visited Mark, Faye and Kristie Hartley Friday and did some deer hunting while there. Steve got lucky and killed a deer. Faye cooked a lot of food and they ate a lot of food. Those boys can put away some groceries.
Sunday was a good day for us. Daughter Donna and granddaughter Francesca came up for a visit and we had a good one. Francesca gave me a pedicure while Donna was cleaning some for me. After they left, David took me to see the great-grandbabies, Haven Rose and Waylon Jr. Dukes.
Has anyone been in Walmart lately? It looks like they are moving things around to make more space. The last time I was in there, I was riding a scooter and I had rearranged a few of the clothes racks and bins. Guess they didn’t like the way I rearranged things! Ever since then they put a “closed for repair” sign on the door when they see me coming!
Phil and Ginger Harrison had a great weekend. They enjoyed hearing Josh Harrison and Braden Sprayberry play at the Lakeside Grill Saturday night.

Stove Top Biscuits
Ingredients:
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
One-fourth teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
1/2 cup milk
1 egg.
Mix the dry ingredients by whisking the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
Mix the wet ingredients by beating the egg, milk and melted butter in a different bowl.
Mix the dry and wet components together by gradually adding the wet components to the dry ingredients.
A big skillet should be heated to medium heat. Fill the skillet with batter. Cook until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Before slicing into a biscuit shape, allow it cool slightly.
Thought for the day: Life rarely turns out how we expect it, but sometimes the unexpected turns lead us exactly where we need to be.
