I was glad to get the much needed rain last week. We had three and a quarter inches down here in Peckerwood Hollar. Our branches were running a little.

Georgia Sanders has been visiting Norma Cross and other family membmers in Goodhope. While everyone was gone Friday, the 5th, we found out later, we had company, Freeda Richards and Margie Jenkins from Popular Bluff, had come by to visit. Sorry we missed them.

Monday, Georgia, Norma and I visited the nursing home.We found Peggy Jenkins and Goldie Miller doing good, but Irene Richards was in much pain. They ended up taking her to the hospital Wednesday. At this writing, they have helped her pain somewhat.

We had our rummage sale all last week. Inspite of the weather and the bridge out on Beaver, we did pretty good. We got to visit with lots of people and met new people in the area.

From what we hear, there was a lot of people at the jam session Glen Dale Robertson put together at the Goodhope General Baptist Church Friday night.

Larry and Debbie Tidwell, Danny and Tresse Davis, Connie, Georgia and Dick and I went to Ozark to the Stained Glass Theatre Friday night. We ate dinner at Shoney’s.

The Goodhope General Baptist Church youth leaders had a hayride and weiner roast Sunday evening at Roy and Brenda Reed’s home. There was two big hay trailers full of kids. Brother Bob Husky and Glen Dale provided music and Bro. Rick Engelhardt brought the message. We were happy to have Bro. Bob fill in Sunday morning for our pastor, David Welch, who is on vacation. He will be speaking this coming Sunday also.
