1. Beck went to Marion & West Memphis. In Marion, she visited with Staci and Shanna and took her several items and ideas for Shanna's impending wedding(Dec.27) with Drew. She then went over to W. Memphis and is visiting and cooking a huge pot of soup for Jake, Ashley, Amber & Michelle. She is driving the Crown Vic and it never looked better.. thanks to L.M.
2. I picked up produce ... gave Doug his $15 and now will have Jeff C. build me something more practical than a picnic table. Wayne brought me a check for materials for his barn repair. I visited with Marrianne; then Derrick, Steve & Mark. The ground and concrfete from the old Sonic and Terry Halfacre's building near the redlight on #69 has been brought over and Derrick is pushing it with his new Kabota that has the front-end loader. He is so happy, because he is really gaining ground that was useless as it was, (formerly a small lake about 200 ft. wide by 600 x 20 ft deep)... The mini-storages(some 43 R&W) now have plenty of land around them! I went out to Plantation Homes and put George Ford (my 99 year old friend) in front of the TV and played a DVD that has Sherman O'Guinn talking about old Trumann. The DVD is playing a slide show of ALL the Graduates of THS since 1929!!! Leona Brock Richards saw her cousins, Effie, Laura & Florence Stephens and her brothers. I called Beck and she was stirring her soup in W. Memphis. I had lunch with Rick, George, Jay and we had catfish! I played a couple of tunes on the harp and left George listening to the DVD on Trumann. I left Brenda in charge of putting the DVD discs up. I had left 7 other disks that had Red Skelton & John Wayne. I came on over to the Pecan Grove and entered this on Blogspot... I rather enjoy this blog.... O.Hinds
