Hope everyone had a merry Christmas and happy holiday. The weather was fine for Christmas Day. I’m sure there were some who wanted a white Christmas. I like the weather we had.

We had an early Christmas Thursday, Dec. 22, for some who could not be here Christmas. Those attending were Seth and Melody Tucker of Harrison, Steve and Susan Tucker of Bella Vista, Clifton Tucker of Bella Vista, Gary and Helen Chism of Gravette. Judy could not make it that day. I cooked for the meal. We had a great day of eating and visiting andI’m sure there was some picture taking. We missed Sheldon Tucker. He is in San Francisco now for a while.

David Tucker came by on Tuesday morning and we had a good visit. I always enjoy him. We always have a good visit when he comes by.

Shelly Bishop visited her grandparents, Jack and Sylvia Tucker, one day last week.

Dan and Johnnie Mae Marshall enjoyed the day on Saturday before Christmas. Their son, Dan Marshall, and wife were with them. They live in Gentry.

Sylvia Tucker visited me on the day before Christmas. She brought me some good peanut brittleand patties. I’m sure enjoying that.

Christmas Day Matt and Karla Ballmann and Jacob and another great-grandson, Billy Cook, came and ate with me. I sure enjoyed that. We all had a good Christmas.

Jack and Sylvia Tucker spent Christmas Day in the home of their daughter, Patti King, in Lowell. Others attending were Petru, Sammie Sappington and Wesley from Minnesota, Debbie and Ron Sims of Maysville, Justin and Valerie Sappington and twin girls, Valerie and Abby, of Lowell. They report a delicious dinner, visiting and gift exchanges before everyone left to go home.
