Hope everyone enjoyed the Memorial Day Weekend.

Becky Roberts did the children’s message at First Methodist last Sunday and discussed the two flags – the American and Christian. Patriotic hymns were sung during the worship service. The veterans were also recognized.

Well, school is out for the summer. However, summer school is in session.

Gas prices are up again which will make a difference in car vacations.

Have you seen the new Shirley Temple postage stamp? I was named after her and my mother was disappointed when I couldn’t sing or tap dance like she did as a child.

Thanks to Angie and Barbara Ann at the Smithville Review for putting on the women’s show a few weeks ago. It was a huge success. If you missed this one, be sure you do not miss next year’s.

Last week Gail Bisgop had a four-generation celebration in Cookeville. Her recently widowed daughter Pam Roach, grandson David Nathan Roach and his wife Misty saw great granddaughters Chelsea, 5, and Brianna, 7 and Emily, 14. Emily graduated from Algood Middle School and will go to Putnam County High this fall.

Get-well wishes to Kelly Vaughn, Tom Hill, Jean Myers, Hilda Myers, Lora Webb, Sarah Brown, Eddie Sutton, Edward Pebeas, Holly Forkner and Jerry Williams.
