Hello to all from this little corner of the world. Saturday was Veterans Day. It was a great day. The sky was beautiful, and the colors of the trees were spectacular. It was around 65 degrees. We enjoyed the day out with another couple, visiting places that recognized our veterans. We went to Texas Roadhouse and Freddy’s. Both of these gave vouchers and are in Jackson. Academy sports gave 10% off, and Smoothie King gave a free 20 oz. smoothie. We ate at the Old Country store, and it was busy but acceptable. Everything was very good, and from the wife of a veteran to all who recognized the veterans, I appreciate you. They did not have an easy life to say the least. My husband was in Vietnam. Praise the Lord he came back. Jackson was getting ready for a parade I was unaware of and The Gun and Knife show had very good attendance.
Happy birthday to Melba Seaton, 11-11, and Dalton Roe, 11-18, and “Dobber” Dyer, 11-14.
Condolences to all who have lost loved ones.

“The Cracked Cup” – Ephesians 4:32 by Leonard Stevenson – “Please handle with care for I have a ‘crack.’/And that isn’t all in which I lack/My handle is weak, so please take care/Yes, sometimes life is so hard to bear/And it appears to me as I look about/Everyone has ‘cracks’; not all are stout/And if not cracked, then broken, or bent/Or scratched, bruised, torn and rent/And since this is true, let’s all be kind/Tender hearted, forgiving, gentle–not blind/To the cracks, flaws and bruises each have got/And heed the lessons our Savior taught/Let’s bind up the cracks of one another/And especially those of our ‘sister’ and ‘brother.’/So exercise tolerance, and patience too/But especially LOVE, for this is the ‘glue!’
I pray you all have a wonderful week and may it be filled with love, joy, peace and blessings. Remember: if you have news, please email me at mimmiepots@gmail.com. I would truly appreciate any news. People from here and those who have moved from our area but still want to keep in touch through the newspaper are hungry for news from home. Until next week, Happy Trails to You.
