Elaine Watkins 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. Here we go with the sinuses! 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

Debe Simonton Hello my friends, Hope everyone has had an opportunity to get out in this beautiful weather we have been having!! As we all know it is subject to change in just a couple of days. And if the pollen drives you crazy, as it does most of us, PUT ON A MASK!!! I tell Neal that all the time because he is very sensitive to pollen and it aggravates his asthma. But you can probably guess if he listens to me. Well another scary bombing has taken place

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 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 of us ate sup-
per then saw "The Host". My second time - great alien love story! Then we got frozen yogurt! Especially in my prayers is Sam Stitt. He received bad news about his health and needs your prayers. Also Tony Johnston, Lee's brother, needs prayers, along with John Henderson, Jeff Hanks, Larry Whaley II, Sue Bringle, Linda Grant, and so 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 birthday (Olive Garden recipe!).
My sincere sympathy is with our minister, Mike Rogers, and his family, in the death of his cousin, Robert Michael Rogers. He was driving a truck out West, had a third heart attack, wrecked his semi and was killed. He and Mike were very close. They are in Kentucky now awaiting his funeral. 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. Enjoy all the trees that are blooming everywhere - beautiful! Azaleas can't be far behind! Until next week . . .
in our country. So many innocent lives lost, hurt, and forever affected. All we can do is pray and when we finish pray some more. We have some very sick people in our community. Please put these people on your church prayer list as well as pray for them yourself. Tony Johnston, Sam Stitt, Charlie Moss, Gary Bilderback, Lori Butler, Freida Travis, Joy Hill, and Martha McQuiston. These are a few that I am aware of. Please let me know if I need to include any others in my column. I'd be happy to. Neal's Aunt Margaret
Tanner Ingram passed away last week. She was his Mother's sister. She was one of the two siblings left. Now his Uncle Wayne Tanner is left as the only one out of the group. All the cousins were there. It's a shame families seem to only get together during times like these. If only we had more time or made time to visit with each other. I remember when I was a kid, my grandparents were always enjoying visitors. Mostly they seemed to come to visit on Sundays. But I can recall all the stories they would tell and stories about each other too.
They had such fun. We will miss Aunt Margaret. Brighton is doing the Memorial flower baskets again this year. If you need an information form or need any other information please contact Brighton City Hall. If you didn't know, last year residents sponsored hanging baskets that were displayed all over town. They were done in memory of a loved one. They were also jointly displayed by Oaklawn Garden Center. Hope everyone enjoys their week and make it a safe one. Love to all, Debe
