— Sunday was the first day of spring and it was really a nice day. I’m sure we will have some cool weather yet but maybe it won’t last long.

Wilford Englert from Grove, Okla., visited his cousin, Jewel Lukens, on Friday afternoon. They had a good visit.

Orpha Wardlaw enjoyed the visit of two grandchildren from Tulsa who were on spring break, Selena and Zack Fincher. Their mother, Eva Rea Fincher, came on Tuesday and spent the night, then they returned home on Wednesday. Orpha sure enjoyed their time together.

Leon Graham passed away on Friday evening at the Grove hospital. His services will be graveside at the Maysville Cemetery on Wednesday at 2 p.m. Sympathy is extended to the family.

Maysville Extension Homemakers Club members, remember this Thursday is club day at the community building. Mary Stewart is hostess for the lunch. She also has the lesson. Our business meeting will be after our noon lunch.

The Maysville E.H. Club has made plans for a fund raiser at the Maysville Community Building on April 2. It will be a bean supper with beans, coleslaw, cornbread, tea or coffee, and cake for dessert. We will be serving from 5 to 7 p.m. Cost is a donation in the jar. There will be a cake walk beginning at 7 p.m. We will have pies to sell. This fund raiser is to help us pay our mowing bills and high electric bills in the summer. We really do appreciate your support. This is our way of keeping the building for our use. We work hard at it and we plan to continue to do so.

There were seven E.H. Club members who attended Curtain Call at the county extension office Friday morning. It was a good program. Those who attended were: Katherine Tucker, Sylvia Tucker, Mary Stewart, Nikki Crawley, Jewel Crawley, Melinda Crawley and Bert Ballmann. Melinda and Katherine both drew a door prize. I’m thinking Jewel did also and let them draw another name for it.

Sylvia Tucker visited Johnnie Mae Marshall on Friday afternoon. These ladies aredoing some crochet work.

Jewel Lukens attended funeral services for Judy Eldred Thursday morning at Sulphur Springs. They were schoolmates in the 1930s.

My visitors on Friday around 4:30 were my two brothers, Vernon Vandiver and wife Janis of Bentonville, Jim Vandiver and friend Darlene of Broken Arrow, Okla.; my sister, Frances Sims and her daughter, Anita Townsend from Bentonville; my sister Marie Crawford and husband Jim of Decatur; nephew Jimmy Vandiver and wife Judy and their friends Patsy and Rich, all of Broken Arrow; Steve and Susan Tucker of Bella Vista. Byron and Tracy Warren and Skyler of Gravette came over also.We had a good meal here at my house, then we went to the Booth Brothers concert. It was an enjoyable afternoon and evening. I really did enjoy it.

Steve and Ellen (Wardlaw) Harris of Ponca City, Okla., came over to Orpha Wardlaw’s on Thursday and spent the night. They attended the Booth Brothers concert at the high school performing arts center in Gravette on Friday.
