My grandson, Samuel Harris, has been very ill this past week and has run a very high fever for a week now. He missed a field trip to Montgomery with his class and since it is nearing the end of school, he needs to get well so he can go back to school. Remember him in your prayers.

I am happy to say that Cathy Billingsley who works for Dr. Graves, is now cancer free and doing well. This is the best news I could report on such a sweet and nice person.

Harry Lee and Mallie Floate suffered injuries last Saturday when they had a motorcycle wreck which left Harry with a couple of broken ribs and collar bone and Mallie suffered a broken hand. I hope they mend soon, but I know they are so very sore right now. 

I bought some strawberries last week which the kids dived into right away. Katie was munching on hers when suddenly she handed me the green top and said, "Okay, Gangy, now what do I do with the grass?"

Remember Charles Ainsworth of Looxahoma as he is having some serious health problems right now and is in need of our prayers.

Remember Lisa Williams in your prayers. She was sick at her stomach and had trouble keeping food down last week. And she has a blood clot in her leg. Thomas Latimer III is back in Oxford Baptist with four more abscesses in his back.  Remember him in your prayers.

Happy birthday  to Grace Dandridge who celebrated her birthday last week. She also got a new roommate last week, Mrs. Willie Oldham, who used to waitress for Dot Mitchell. 

I have not heard from Addie Brownlee who was in the hospital last week being treated for pneumonia. I hope all is well for her and will report more when I hear.
