Traffic was heavy in our area with folks heading to Hillsville Flea Market and Gun Show. Lots of flea markets in this area, also. I went to Hillsville Flea Market in the olden days, but now the Shooters Club yard sale is good enough for me — nice stuff and good prices.
Had a note from My Flower Friend, Pauline Martin. She had fallen and got hurt. Keep her on your prayer list please.
So sorry to hear of the death of Ruth Haden Hylton. She was always smiling and friendly. My love and heartfelt sympathy go out to the family.
Still keep my sister-in-law on your prayer list. Hilda came through the surgery and everything has been a miracle so far. Thank you to Janice Lawson (Hilda’s daughter) for keeping me posted about everything.
I was happy to find Geneva Foley feeling some better and learn that she was enjoying some company.
The Soup Kitchen did the bag lunches again and that’s good for the hot weather season. I always enjoy my visit with Miss Dorothy and getting to talk to her.
The cutest little rabbit comes in my yard and eats clover. In our area we don’t see many rabbits anymore. They say the coyotes have killed them out.
The hummingbirds are eating and getting ready for their long journey. I’ll miss them.
The Men’s Ministry had my favorite meal on Wednesday night — chicken patty, roll and apples. I appreciate you and tall the work you do.
Soon be time to mail the Shoe Boxes for Christmas. I’ve almost got mine done.
Thanks to Janice Lawson for calling and keeping me informed while my sister-in-law was in the hospital. I appreciate you so much.

Hint for Bread making — If the TV is in use, it makes a nice warm spot for dough to rise.
