I received the sweetest phone call Saturday morning from Mrs. Audrey Ross saying she would be 101 years young on October 10-2024 and if I didn’t mind, would I add it in my news. I told her that I think of her often and I do. I’ve always loved this precious lady and I wanted her to have her own Recognition while celebrating her 101 birthday. Happy Birthday, Miss Audrey! God is good! Deborah McCool helped with the fall festival at church Saturday. She did the cakewalk. Everyone had fun and got lots of sweet stuff. Sunday they all celebrated daughter, Kimberly’s, birthday, Deborah cooked lasagna and chicken and dressing. Got a couple folks that don’t eat lasagna, Jason and Caitlyn, so that’s why they also had dressing. I made a cake too and then Hannah, Kim’s daughter came in with a big chocolate cake and red velvet cupcakes, so lots of sweet stuff after eating. Angela Dukes and son, PJ, Deborah and Tommy McCool and Hannah’s boyfriend all showed up at Kimberly’s to eat a lot and visit. I think she enjoyed it all. Tomorrow Deborah will head to Flowood for her 6 week check up since her surgery. Prayers for a good report for you, Deborah. Lila Myrick got to take her heart monitor off Monday and send it off. I know she was happy to take it off. I pray all is well with you, Lila. Bobby Joe McClanahan’s daughter, Kirsti and children visited him Sunday morning. Freddie Wayne and JoJo McClanahan went to Smithland,Kentucky to attend funeral services for his cousin Dewayne Belt. He died from a massive heart attack. His service was Sunday- October 6-2024. David’s porch visitor Saturday was Lee McMillian. Seems like most visitors come when I’m napping! That could be morning or evening! Haha Wanda Crawford called me the other afternoon all excited telling me that she is a great grandmother again. Her granddaughter, Alex Ballard and husband Quintin are the proud parents of a new baby girl. Baylor-Kate Allyn Ballard weighs 7 lbs-3 oz and she’s 19 in. long. Baylor-Kate has a proud big sister, Kylie, who adores her. Thank you Donna Sue for the big salad you brought up Sunday. I got three meals out of it! Happy birthday to Ann Ragon, Gracie Beardain and my great nephew, Bo Bickerstaff on the 10th, Jacque Dickey, Kathy Bloodworth and Billy Jack Williamson on the 11th, to Sheila O’ Bryant on the 12th, Delia Arbuckle on the 13th and my sweet sister, Ann Hudson celebrates the 14th as well as Samy McCracken, John Adam Robinson and Randy Hoop. The Recipe for the week…. Cauliflower Steaks Better than a baked potato! Slice cauliflower into thin steaks, brush with Olive oil and season with seasons of your choice. I use salt/pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and parsley Bake on 400° for 30 min Brush with butter and top with cheese and broil a few more min Top with crumbled bacon and sour cream. Thought for the day….. The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our disposition and not ourcircumstances.
