Billy F. and I enjoyed a good meal last Friday with Duane and Kaye Alexander. Earl Langford also enjoyed the meal.
Hope Kaye improves from serious arthritis pain. She is under doctor’s treatment.
Talked briefly July 16 with a well-known Robbs- Buckhorn man, William Rex Patterson. He has a lot of historical knowledge of the Reid area.
Good to have the Scarbroughs visiting last week in the area and accompanying John and Rita Leachman to Lantrip Sunday.
Good to have Nancy back at the piano.

Revival continues through Friday at Friendship Baptist Church at Ellzey at 7 p.m. nightly.
Bro. Brad Winfield will speak Wednesday and Bro. Owen Hitchcock will speak Thursday and Friday.
Numerous churches will be in revival during the next several weeks.
Lantrip revival is August 8-11 with different speakers each week.

Had my first meal of fresh garden peas last week at Willa Kay’s.
The record rains have “perked up” the gardens and lawn grass.
Sympathy to all bereaved including the Lee family at Calhoun City and the Henley family of Sarepta.
