Happy Mother’s Day to all of you precious mothers. My prayer is that God will bless each and every one of you mother and that you can be with your family on this special day. Wear that red or white rose proudly!
Freda Weir had a great time recently dining with her “circle of friends” in Grenada.
Last week, JG Henderson traveled to Montego Bay, Jamaica, for a little work and a lot of fun. JG celebrated his birthday just before he left going on his trip. That’s a lot of excitement for one lucky young man.
Terri Pullen and Diane Dukes went to Greenville Saturday morning and visited Diane’s sister, Barbara Parker, and her two daughters. Barbara and grandkids all enjoyed the visit. Diane is still waiting on her great-granddaughter, Lilly Rose, then she will have five Roses. Diane said friends Lauri McCullar and Melissa Morris went on vacation to Washington, D.C., and are hoping to see President Trump.
Bubba Dukes took his two grand-nephews, John Luke and Logan Rose, fishing Sunday afternoon and they caught two fish. They really enjoyed fishing and visiting with Uncle Bubba.
Martha Box said, “Is it me or this universe that needs to slow down?” She said there was no real exciting news to report, but she is still working on it. She had a wonderful fish dinner at The Corner Store Friday, followed by a wonderful gathering at Pine Grove Church Sunday. “So much love among all I noticed,” she said. “And what a Spirit-filled message! Josh's song was so touching. Then the food! Wow, just try to taste everyone's cooking! Great company, great food, after a great follow Jesus message!”
Congratulations to Beth Tillman DeLoach, who will be 4th-6th grades English and Resource teacher for this coming school year at Kirk Academy.
Tommy and Deborah McCool along with Tommy’s sister, Alice Kellum, drove down to Leland Saturday afternoon. They spent the evening visiting. On Sunday, they had a cookout with way too much food. Deborah said they went to the cemetery and put flowers on all of their family graves before they headed home later.
Ginger Harrison said they had a fantastic homecoming celebration at Pine Grove Baptist Sunday. Their son, Josh Harrison, sang a special and did a fantastic job. She said she missed the final count, but last she heard there were 83 in attendance. “It was a blessed day of worship and fellowship,” said Ginger.
Sadie Harper is scheduled to have an ultrasound Tuesday at Stern Cardio on her right carotid artery and Milton has an ultrasound Thursday on his liver. Milton fell again on the patio Saturday but they don’t think he broke any bones.
