Hey friends. Here it is July and
the year is half gone. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer. Seems we’re
getting lots of rain, but that’s better than drought and life is good.
Mrs. Winnie Hanvey
guessed the Picture of the Month. It was Missy Ming Smith. She brought Floyd
and Gladys Harris to breakfast, and they really enjoyed their ham. So
don’t forget to call if you think you know the picture of the month. Call me
at 534-9550.
We’ve had lots of sadness this
month. We have had lots of deaths from within our restaurant family, and our
sympathy goes to the families of Mrs. Carolyn Vann (Mother of Mack
Vann), Mrs. Edna Homer (Godmother of Todd Homer), Mrs.
Vivian Brody (Mother of Steve Brody), and Mrs. Cloud Gates,
whom we’ve known and loved for many years.
Our Sheriff’s office has also
been hit hard with sadness. Herman Daniel, a beloved officer for years,
died. He had been a dear friend to lots of us for so long. He served our county
in the greatest way. He will be missed. Of course, the tragedy of deputy Haskel
McLane was terrible. He was a special man in lots of ways. He served his
community with great honor. He was loved because he loved people and he will be
greatly missed. We say to Sheriff Whisante and all the Department; we
love you and our love goes out to you.
Hope our friends Clarence
and Ida Mae Keel from North Scotsboro are doing much better. They’ve
been coming down to the doctor and stopping by to see us.
Jan Morris
of Navato, California has been visiting her mother, Mrs. Becky Pierce and
they’ve come to eat several times. She loves this Huntsville food, (love you
Jan).
Mrs. Eunice Joanne Anderson
and husband, Norman Anderson from Grant Park, Illinois left a note on the
table saying they drove 250 miles to be with their son and his wife and two
children for Father’s Day. They wanted to eat here because my name is the same
as hers. They really had a great time. Fine people.
Happy Good Day to my friend Nell
Lang who has had surgery in Birmingham and is doing well. Her daughter, Peggy
has kept me informed of her condition. Great!
My dear friend, A.C. Deloach
(Tony) is in the hospital. We are sure praying for you and love you and Faye.
Faye, keep us up to date on his condition.
Our prayers go out for several
dear friends who have been real sick. Ellis Bedwell, June Young, and Marie
Osharne. Please get well soon.
Congratulations to New Market
Elementary School for getting the highest S.A.T scores in Madison County.
A very fine young man named Pat
Ribas came to breakfast with Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Halsey.
Congratulations to Mrs. Ruby
Cooper whose 92 birthday is soon. Her grandsons, Benny and Chris
Parker eat with me lots.
Good luck to Byron Laird
who recently began working with the Swearengin Church of Christ. Bet Mrs.
Tillie writes his sermons for him (just kidding).
A dear young friend, who I’ve
fed all his life, is now working with the Madison County Sheriff’s Department.
His name is Scott Brown and I’m sure he will serve his community well.
We hear that the Mayor of
Hurricane Creek, J.B. Tucker is spending time with his fishing pole at the
Madison County Lake. The catfish had better beware!
Kathryn Lynn Rubin
and Eric Casey Zellner were married June 9th.
Their parents are Donald and Linda Rubin and Eugene and Robin
Zellner. Congratulations!
Governor Siegleman
visited us this month. It was good to see him and to know his family was doing
well. So good to see that Don still knows how to pour coffee!
Have you been to Outback
Steakhouse lately? I was there the other Friday night. I told Loyd
that it was the best ever!
For those nights when you just
want to lay in bed and read, stop by Shaver's Bookstore and get a copy of
Bryce Davis' new book, Texakana Belle.
I was thinking of my dear friend Floyd
Hardin recently. People like him are what makes Huntsville such a wonderful
place to live. He's always willing to help anyone. I wish every community could
have someone like him but we sure don't want to give him up!
We added a lot of members to our Liar’s
Club this last month: Jan Davis brought Jackie Steadman, Teresa
Vanhouser, Scott Groomes, Ben Grumbley, Lewis Wooten, John Howell, Ann McNair,
Bal Goss, Tony Levoie and Barbara Thurman. And believe me, they all
seem to be real Qualified. Welcome!
Ray Congo,
(son of Lisa and Marl Congo) and Heather Harvey (daughter
of Michelle and Jeff Cole) were married on June 9th
at the home and garden of the Congos in Gurley, with Dr. Ralph Langley
officiating. The couple spent their first breakfast as Mr. And Mrs. Congo with
me before leaving for a Las Vegas honeymoon.
Be sure and watch the paper and
news about the big Elvis Show that’s coming to Huntsville on August 11th
at Huntsville High School.
In closing I want to say a great
big "I love you" to my sister, Ruth Moon who will be 92 years
old on August 5th.
That’s all for this time, but remember, God loves you and I do, too.
