Welcome to Spring! The official first day of Spring for 2025 was Thursday, March 20th. Let the allergies begin. The wind has been perfect to fly kites. Ask little Hallie Deloach and she can tell you how much fun it is. Halllie is a true lil farm girl who likes to feed the cows, water the garden, gather eggs and pick a basket of flowers. These allergies are about to do us in, says Lila Myrick. Said they haven’t done much of anything lately. They are bad on us too, Lila. Stephen and Emily Tillman Donovan are proud of their girl, Alice, for placing 1st at the District Art Competition! Now on to State! You have made it this far, Alice, now bring it on home! I texted Gloria Marceleno late Sunday afternoon and she was in her bathroom waiting on the tornado. Said she was trying to stay home as much as possible since she’s having health issues. Lynn fell back in October and November. Did a number on my neck/spine. In so much intense pain. They got to set me an appointment up with neurosurgeon and ent. Prayers for healing for you, Lynn. Kristie Hartley went with Annie Box and her family to Houston Texas to the rodeo and visit Annie’s brother and wife. Faye Hartley and Nathan, Rowland, Mary Brett and Mclendon Hartley spent the weekend in Starkville with Rowland playing ball. Sadie Harper said, “I wish I could say I felt good but, I’ve got sciatica nerve problem on my left side and hope I can go and get a steroid shot Monday.” Sadie’s better half, Milton is doing really good and the discharge date is Friday 3/28. I pray he can come home that day. I hope so too, Sadie. Martha Box looks forward to Mondays when son, Ben comes by to check on her and do some heavy chores and talk. Girl when I do get up standing and out, I will be shouting GLORY to the Lord for all He has sent me to see me through! I aam hoping to start standing and walking at check up April 3rd. And doing a lot of jobs my place needs. It is Spring , time to plant those maters and cucumbers, says Martha. Cossar Park had a great turn out Wednesday and will be having their next bingo April 16 from 2-4. They have bingo every 3rd Wednesday of the month Waylon Dukes and daughter Haven Rose and Sam Pullen and daughter, Jo had Do-nuts with Dad last week at school. They also had Muffins with Mom, all at North Delta. Deborah McCool said her husband, Tommy, came with me to work Friday and spent the day, took me to lunch. Saturday we went to Leland and spent the day with Tommy’s sisters. Ginger Harrison said they had a great weekend. Phil and I visited a few yard sales and stopped by the Casey Jones Music fest in Water Valley where Josh met us for lunch. It was a beautiful day to be out. We took a good long afternoon nap. On Sunday Diane Hill made a fabulous early Birthday lunch for me. She knows I love her chicken and dumplings. She also made me a Butterfinger cake and of course it was delicious. We visited moma ( Martha Box) Sunday evening. It was great to see her getting around a bit. I say you can’t keep a good woman down, Ginger! Happy birthday to Bart Robinson on the 24th, Wanda Kerr on the 26th, my precious granddaughter, Frankie Holliday on the 27th along with Ginger Box Harrison and Greg Knowles, Annie Claire Turner, Dwayne Nail and Lannie Wilbourn celebrate the 29th and Frank Weir the 30th.

Recipe for the week: “Apple Skillet pancake” Ingredients 1 cup cake flour 2 tablespoons granulated sugar pinch salt 1 tablespoon baking soda 1 tablespoon baking powder 2 eggs, whole and beaten until light 2 tablespoons melted butter 2 cups buttermilk 2 Granny Smith apples 1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract powdered sugar Directions To prepare the Pancake Batter: Sift the cake flour, 2 Tbsp granulated sugar, baking soda and baking powder. Then combine the eggs, melted butter and buttermilk into the dry ingredients. Reserve for cooking. Cute the apples into eight even pieces. Remove the seeds and place into water until ready to cook. Combine the heavy cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and vanilla extract and whip on medium speed until stiff peaks are formed. Reserve for finishing. Cooking: In a 10″ nonstick pan, add 2 Tbsp of sugar to preheated pan and lightly caramelize (turns golden brown). Remove apples from water, dry and add to pan. Arrange in a circular pattern. Add 1 cup of pancake batter and place into a preheated oven at 350° F for 18 minutes. Remove after 18 minutes and allow to sit for one minute in pan. Then place a plate large enough to fit over the pan. Flip over the pan and the pancake should fall onto the plate. Dust with powdered sugar and place a large dollop of whipped cream on top. Thought for the day…..Do something that you have been putting off doing, like cleaning out your refrigerator.
