Tuesday, November 23, James and Linda Orick visited his sister, Sybill Harvill. She has the shingles and they are very annoying. Her children and grandchildren have been visiting.
On Sunday, November 21 James Orick preached at Cardwell Missionary Baptist Church. After services James and me and Dennis and Jenny Downs ate at Subway in Ava. James got really sick, some of the meat did not agree. Monday and Tuesday he still didn’t feel very good.
Some wanted us to come to their Thanksgiving supper at Eastern Gate. He was too sick.

Christy and Chris Lakey had Thanksgiving dinner Sunday at their home for their family Doyle and Goldie Lakey, Violet Lakey, Kathy Lunday, Chad and Amanda Medley, Ashlee and Brady Rowland, Wendy Crossland, Hunter and Shelby, Tony Lakey and James and Linda Orick. We had lots of food and visiting and some played games. We had lots of pies. It was quite the feast. You think of all the food left over and lots of folks don’t have. I am sure it was taken care of later. Warmed leftovers are good and we always take food home if we want it.
My sympathy sent to Betty Thompson and family. She lost her daughter and son recently very close together. Betty is such a sweet lady. We always enjoy her when we attend Bruner Baptist Church.
My sympathy also to the Braden family. They lost Manford (Snook) as we all know him. As some would say, there never will be another Snook. He is Mary Thompson’s nephew.
Saturday evening God called another one away, Jerry Schreiner. My sympathy sent to all the family.
