I want to wish all fathers a wonderful Father’s Day filled with a lot of love! I sure miss my daddy. He was a mother and father to us all of our young life. He’s gone now but I know he has an extra jewel in his crown for all his hard work in raising us four children. Thank you, Daddy!
Josh Harrison spent last week at Ole Miss. He was selected to attend the Mississippi Forge Forward Summer Experience. He experienced the Ole Miss Haley Barbour Center for Manufacturing Excellence’s 12,000-square- foot factory floor and learned about career paths in the defense manufacturing industry from companies like Raytheon Technologies and Winchester Ammunition. He really enjoyed learning about engineering and manufacturing.

Martha Box had a week with two doctor visits for vision checkups, music and singing on the square Tuesday night, and on Thursday evening enjoyed a visit with old and new friends for a bike meet. “Great laughter and relaxation this ole busy body needed.” She said it brought the dance right out of her.
Sunday, Martha took the day off. She cooked a roast while sitting a couple of hours, then was up working 20 to 30 minutes before going back to sit and watch movies. “I call that a nothing day,” she said, except prayer, worship and exercise were exceptional.

I woke up early Monday morning with a crick in my neck and it was painful. I Googled to see if they had some good home remedies and I found quite a few, so I’m off to try one or two of them. Wish me luck!
Recipe for the day: Meat Loaf Bake
To make the best of a leftover meat loaf, layer slices of it on the bottom of a baking dish. Cover it with one can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, diluted with 1/2 can of water. Top with sliced mushrooms and shredded cheese, then heat until bubbly.
Thought for the day: Happiness is like honey. You can pass it around, but some will stick to you.
