but our rain out date is the next Saturday, the 11th, but we have gone through with it when it was pouring cats and dogs at 8:00 that morning and by 10:00 it’s beautiful! That’s how great our God is!!! I had the ladies at the Charleston/Stanton Baptist Church call today and offer their services to do anything I need them to do, now how wonderful is that? People are just so very willing to help this place out!! They all know it’s for a good cause and besides that they want it to keep
Hello everybody! Hope your all doing well and so very happy with this beautiful weather like all of us out here are! This is sure “gettin’ out and walkin’ about weather”. Here this is 9:00 at night and its 74O, imagine that!! I LOVE IT!!!! Well no resident birthdays this week but we do have one staff birthday and that would be Darlene Davis!! Happy birthday Darlene, hope your day will be special for you and all your
family!! I’m sure Lexie-bug is gona want you to have “chicken” for your birthday!!! That baby girl loves that chicken!!! The girl scouts will be here this Friday night for their sleep-over in the fellowship hall. I know they’re gona love that! I used to think it was the coolest thing to get to sleep on the floor, but not anymore though, I’ve done got too old for that! I’m looking for someone to be my “face painter” for
the kids at our Springfest, is anyone interested???? I put out a plea for it last week but didn’t have any takers, so guess I’ll just keep asking until we get one. I do hope and pray we get a good turn out this year!! The commodore seems as though it gets better and better every year. The fun thing is we have board members that go off the board of directors, but they usually still come whether they’re still on the board or not!! All my vendors are in place, they’re all excited. I’m not sure if I have mentioned this

according to your income. I think most members pay a dollar each day they attend. You can spent the day there if you like to play dominoes, cards of all kinds. They take day trips to different places. Some people like to spend the day at the Center. Come and join us and make some new friends. One thing I learned when I was a Gril Scout Leader many years ago is: Make new friends, but keep the old. one is silver and the other is gold. We have been doing yard work this week. We both
enjoy being outside in the nice Sun Shine. We just dug up three small cedar trees that came up in my flower beds and planted them over along the fence line. Speaking of fence line.....the cows next door to us....saw us out at the fence line and came running over for us to give them some apples. We talked to them and rubbed their heads and told them "we have no more apples". They stood there for a few minutes and then went back to eating grass in the pasture. We are waiting for our
back yard to dry out.....we need about two dump truck loads of dirt to fill in the ravines in our back yard. Today, we are going to drag all the flowers out of our basement and put them out on the deck and on the front entrance of our home. Most of all the flowers lived, but did not grow very well. Some pots have new petunas that have come up volunteer in their pots from last year. We think that all the frost has gone for the winter!!!! Love and prayers.
made our weekly trip to see the baby chicks at the new farm store on the highway. They won't be there much longer though. The ducks were already gone! Liz, Lyla, and I drove to Memphis to the Spring Market at the Agricenter on Friday, and then Courtney and I went back on Sunday. Lots of fun with the girls! Also Friday night was Dinner and Movie Night and seven
many others, and all our servicemen and women. Happy birthday this week goes to Denise Cartwright on April 8th, to Sherri Kidd on the 9th, to Elizabeth Harrell on the 11th, and to Bonita Rogers and Corey Cartwright on the 12th. Also to Terri Barber on the 9th and to Gary Steele and Skip Baskin on April 11th! Elizabeth is getting a Lemon Cream cake for her
neral. That family is in my prayers. Also sympathy goes to Frank Brown in the death of his only sister, Bessie Fortenberry. She lived in Arkansas and was 92 years old. That family is in my prayers also. This week's Farmer's Almanac Quote: "Plow deep while sluggards sleep and you will have corn to sell or keep" - Benjamin Franklin.

It's a very warm Monday night. Highs in the 70's today, as well as tomorrow, then storms (squall line) Wednesday and back in the 54's for a few days. This week's Farm Report: We did a little more spraying while the wind was down this morning then we planted corn. We’re working on our second farm now, almost ready for the third. Prayers for rain this year! I had a Tennessee Area of Conservation Districts Directors' meeting in Jackson last Wednesday. Elizabeth and Lyla took me, and then ate and rode around downtown while I had the meeting. Afterwards, we all went to see my dad, Kenneth Weir. He was doing fine and I think he knew me, but he called Lyla his granddaughter, so that was great! Lastly, we shopped and got back to town just in time for church. Elizabeth and Lyla ate Chinese with us afterward. Good day! On Thursday, there was a good little rain. James had a dentist appointment and I got a perm from Courtney Gurley. Glad she's in Covington now! James and I also
going because they want a place to call home someday themselves! Ha! Ha! Hey, ME TOO!!! I know there’s gona come a day when I’m gona need our services that we provide out here and I be dad-gum if I want to go to Memphis!!! I can’t afford down there! Their prices are outrageous! Anywhere from $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 a month!! Ours here is nowhere near that much! So just go ahead and give me your reservations on May 4th and I’ll save you a room! Mr. Lloyd and Ms. Sarah have got their room
already reserved, Ha! They tell me that every year, but seriously, I do pray that we can still be here for them and for others, including myself! So please come on out May 4th from 10-3 and let’s have a ball!!!! Bring a cake for the auction and come eat lunch with us and listen to some wonderful gospel music! Until next week, we love you and pray for you all! And please remember to keep our dear Libby in your prayers! God be with you all!
