Happy spring. I hope you will enjoy the pretty April weather. Just think, you will be planting your gardens, flowers, and working in the yard real soon. I do not like this time. I wish whoever thought this time change up had left the time alone. Sometimes I believe we should not bother things like time change. Despite the time change we had a real good day at Ebenezer Baptist Church Sunday. After the message on "April Fool" and church conference, dinner was served. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Burdette Jr. placed a lovely spring flower arrangement in the church. I visited Mrs. Shirley Ann Armour Saturday. I got to see her daughters, Pam Johnson and Michelle Pate, and kids. Shirley seems to be doing well after knee surgery. Dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Dunaway Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. Wade Dunnaway, Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Holt and family of Martinez, Mrs. Laura Epps and family of Lincolnton, and Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Holt. Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Dunnaway visited Miss Grace Dunaway in Wills Memorial Hospital Sunday. I talked to Miss Grace Sunday and she was in good spirits and seems to be doing well. Beverly Adams of Woodstock spent several days with Mrs. Ray Adams. She came especially to be with Kimberly and Tiffany Rogers as their father, Perry Rogers, had surgery. We wish Perry a speedy recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Phillips made a trip to Augusta and Thomson last week. Mr. and Mrs. Randy Buell visited the Phillipses several days last week. We are sorry to hear of the death of Brenda Phillips' uncle, Preston Byrd of Durham, N.C., last week. Mrs. Richard Phillips, Mrs. Stephanie Haynes, and Skyla left Monday to go to Greensboro, N.C., to visit her son Stephen, Mrs. Currie, and Evan. They also plan to go to Mr. Byrd's funeral. Becky Phillips of Conyers is visiting her dad, Richard Phillips, and Chip Haynes this week. Gregg Phillips of North Augusta will join them today for a visit and lunch. Rev. and Mrs. Jim Newsome of Vero Beach, Fla., left Friday morning to return home after a visit with Mrs. Jenelle Newsome. They also visited their son Jamie, Charlene and new baby Anna in Martinez. Mr. and Mrs. Jamie Newsome and Anna were dinner guests of Mrs. Jenelle Newsome and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Newsome Thursday of last week. Mrs. Mary Boldin of Augusta is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Hill O'Neal at Tyrone for a few days. Pat Tuttle had lunch with them on Tuesday. She is Mrs. Hill O'Neal's sister. Mrs. Boldin celebrated her 90th birthday. On Sunday, Pat visited them again and also stopped by for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Robbie Newsome, Brandon and Jacob. Shane Barnett of Winterville spent some time with her parents, G.B. and Sherry Newsome, Saturday afternoon. I made several trips to Augusta last week to visit my doctors. I am feeling better from my recent surgery and wish to thank everyone for their concern, prayers, gifts of food, cards etc. It is so nice to be remembered at a time like this. I visited Denise Edmunds in Lincolnton recently. On Sunday I had dinner with my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wallace, and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Goff of McCormick. William Tuttle of Daleville, Ala., is spending this week in Washington with relatives. Our prayer concerns include Henry Wallace, Kelly Wayne Goff, Gary Rogers, Perry Rogers, Mrs. Maude Griffith, Mrs. Anna Ray Yearwood, Karen Turner, Ronnie Scroggs, Emily Linares, Mrs. Dot Shank, Mrs. Ethel B. Harris, Mrs. Mary Ruff, Mrs. Joann Webb, Bill Mobley, Mrs. Lois South Linda Albea, Genna Grimaud, Elizabeth and Sanders Dallis, Bert Aycock, Mamie Neal Reed, Grace Dunnaway, Henry Armour, Jane Price, Mrs. Rebecca Connor, Linda Shelton, Mike Webb, Danielle Bentley, Patricia Burton, Allen Burton, Jenelle Newsome, Shirley Armour, Pete Poss, Pete Hardy, and JoAnn Barden. Sincere love and sympathy to all who recently lost loved ones. May God be close to you during this difficult time. Happy birthday to all celebrating birthdays in April. Some I know of this week are Linda Albea, Kirk Davis, Pembroke Pope, and Alton Ray. We wish to send special birthday blessings to Mrs. Anna Ray Yearwood who celebrated her 90th on April 1. Her son, Alton, will celebrate one this week, number 64, I believe. Many more happy ones to these friends.
