Time To Celebrate 100 Years

Remember the special celebration to honor Nathan D. Mefford for his 100th birthday will be this Sunday, Aug. 6, in the Lincoln Senior Center, from 2 to 4 pm. The family requests no gifts, please. This is a rare occasion, and hopefully the weather will cooperate, and all who know him can attend.

Two different "energies" were the topic of conversation at Sugar Hill Church Sunday. One, the electricity was off (on one of the hottest days), and the other, hand energy by fanning with whatever could be found. Many remembered former days when businesses furnished hand fans for the churches.

However, the attendance was great, and I think the heat was less noticed as guest minister Ross Williams brought the morning message. He brought out so many good points, with Bible references, I would like to have a copy of his message, to study.

Pastor Rick Reed is home from the hospital, where he spent several days being treated for a spider bite. The doctor has told him to stay off his feet for awhile to let his leg heal; so we pray he will mend fast and will soon be "back on his feet."

Speaking of hot weather, we are into another month in which we can expect more -- August! and it also is get ready for kindergarten month, back to school, children's vision and learning, immunization, family meal, family fun, admit you're happy, happiness happens, catfish, goat cheese, cataract awareness, and inventors month. I'm surprised that iced tea, watermelon and ice cream were not listed. Birthstone, Peridot and flower gladiolus.

Happy birthday to Keith Myers, Shaun McClellan, Casie Ruland, Dustin Long, Elizabeth Myers, Dorothy Murray, Blake Myers, Loyd Jones, Mike Munyon, Rosalie Glidewell, Dorothy Borchardt, Emogene Hutchinson.

Happy anniversary to Roger and Phyllis Reed.

Happy years, all!
