I hope all you school students from Pre-K on up enjoy your Spring Break. Also the Faculty. Treasure and Cody McLendon are the proud parents of a precious baby girl. Sweet little Farron Raynes arrived at 8:24 p.m. Monday March 4th. She is beautiful with a head full of hair. I know her big brother, Layne Hart, is a proud big brother. Bobby Joe McClanahan got his prosthetics! The man told him when he came back for his next appointment, he didn’t want to see him in that wheelchair. So he tries standing and walking. Kenny helped him make some parallel bars to help him practice walking. Bobby Joe’s sister, Lila Myrick says she’s so proud of him. He is so determined to walk again. ( He will, Lila. With the strong will power that he has, it won’t be long either. ) Martha Box is still tied down with her foot up in the air. Still no weight bearing till April 3rd. Piddeling about house via wheel chair, standing on the one foot to do minor things . Managed to get out to Grenada with sister Joyce’s help. Wheelchair throughout Walmart, because all their rides were tied up or dead, said Martha. Joyce and brother Jesse had a great lunch with me. Wore me out but, I loved it. It is very hard to sit down while someone else does my job. Like granddaughter Marissa draining and repairing the water heater. Joyce throwing out all the old food from the fridge etc . All without my help . I guess I now have to put them in for a raise ? Martha, sit back, relax and enjoy it! They love you and wanna help you. Sheryn Goode’s daughter, Dana Huffman, came down from TN. for a visit with her Friday. Sheryn said of course we talked just a little bit. Went up to Enid and ate lunch and toured the Park.
