Smithville Jamboree will be in full swing on July 1 and 2 so get ready to have some very talented hometown and out of town entertainment to delight you with tons of food and so many crafts of every kind, and lots of shops to browse through and find great bargains in all of them to take home. Get your most comfortable shoes out of the closet and a folding chair and simply come on out to have a l day or two of leisurely fun as it would be a shame to miss out on what the town has to offer. The Jamboree, after all, is only once a year. Old friends will be there and you will probably make some new ones, too. You’re going to love it so make plans to attend this great event.

Following the Jamboree on Monday will be July the Fourth, Independence Day. Enjoy your family and friends on this wonderful day of freedom that we have in this great country we live in and never take that freedom for granted. Make some memories that day to cherish always.

Out at Glenda’s store DeKalb Market Thursday and spent a few minutes with "Spider"/ Janice. "Aubrey" gave her that nickname.

Stopped by the Co-op to see a good friend Tammy Smith. I hadn’t seen her in quite a while. She is doing well. We had to catch up on what’s been going on since our last visit together.

Gospel song playing on the radio with the lyrics saying: "if the rocks could talk and the stones could sing, they would glorify our miracle working King. That’s our job and isn’t He worthy of all our praises and worship each and every day?
