The Lincoln Kitchen Band group was back in fine form Tuesday, as they were ready for a good time of humor and hilarity, music and yes, some dancing. Jack Thompson gave a rendition of "How to wash your furry feline" (or not). The members are looking forward to answering an invitation to perform at the Prairie Grove Nursing Home. The entertainment goes both ways there, as we have found in previous visits.
One Sunday the snow and ice were to be considered and the next, Sunday, many were busy with Christmas celebrations, so the Sugar Hill Church services were canceled those two Sundays; but the members started the new year right, with a good crowd for the morning service, and welcomed back those who had been ill. After church, several of the young people handed out sacks of treats, which always makes me think of when we were young. We always looked forward to receiving the sacks of candy, an apple and an orange, a real treat in those days.
I enjoyed a call from Elsie Hanger one evening recently, and we spent about an hour talking of times "back when." We both remembered the Christmas programs and sacks of treats, and the school days as they were then. She said, "I still like a sandwich of biscuit and sausage like we took to school for our lunch." It's fun to visit with someone who remembers the good time of growing up, part of a large family as we did, and oh, some of the fun things we share.
We also took time that evening, catching up on each other's every day activities and comparing the weather, which is usually about the same there in Virginia as it is here.
Happy birthday to Doris Thurman, Doug Hulse, Johnny Swain, Edwin Roy, Darla Holloway, Caleb Lipford, Tom Pennel, Verna Lou Snodgrass, Chris Bradley, Sheryl Roy, Paul Myers, Jake Barnes, Ronnie New, Ronnie Rinehart, Kim Brock.
