GRAVETTE — The weather is not my favorite now. I’m ready for warmer weather. I don’t suppose I’m the only one. Spring is only 31 days away.
Jean Martindale and Sylvia Tucker went to Fayetteville shopping on Thursday. They went to Hobby Lobby and did some shopping, came back to Siloam Springs and ate at Cathy’s Corner and got home early in the afternoon. They report an enjoyable day.
Friends and relatives of the Jason Andrews family gathered at the Maysville Community Center Saturday afternoon to celebrate the first birthday of their son. Jason and Debbie live in Jay, OK.
We had a fellowship dinner at the Maysville Bible Church Sunday after morning services. Jheri Roberts was our guest speaker and will be for the next two Sundays in February. You are welcome to come and visit us. We are always glad to have visitors and hope you will come back.
My brother, Jim Vandiver of Broken Arrow, OK, and friend Shirley of Tulsa came after me on Tuesday afternoon to go visit our brother, Vernon Vandiver, in the hospital at Fayetteville. He had his hip replacement Monday morning and is doing real well. We are excited for him. He has spent more time in the hospital since a year agothis January than he has been home. Hopefully this is his last stay. He is in a rehab hospital in Fayetteville. They moved him over there Friday. I visited him on the phone Sunday afternoon. He sounds so good.
This Thursday is Senior Fun Day at the community building in Maysville. If you have not ordered your lunch you can always bring one and visit a while.
Orpha Wardlaw went to Bentonville on Saturday to the Crumpet Tea Room Express to a tea party for single ladies hosted by Debbie Querry. I didn’t get to go to the first one. They are enjoyable and I missed the good program, good food and fellowship. Debbie does this each year and this year it was a Valentine tea party.
Steve and Susan Tucker of Bella Vista came by and visited me a while Sunday afternoon on their way home from Tulsa, OK. They were in a mission retreat over there Friday, Saturday and until noon Sunday. They also got to see and visit a while with Bruce and Leta (Holloway) Wilbanks. They enjoyed that. They reported a very good retreat.
I had a phone call from my cousin in Caldwell, Idaho. She said they were having 60 degree weather. I enjoyed the visit with her and told her we hadn’t had it that warm for quite some time.
