  • I dont have all my decorations up, and I dont have much shopping done. I havent done all my Christmas Cards, but maybe Ill make it by Christmas!

    The WMU met at Patsy Grishams Monday night, December 3. We had a real good program. Patsy had her house decorated so pretty with 3 Christmas trees. She had delicious refreshments, one of the best fruit salads I have had in a while.

  • The outside scenery is not quite as pretty now since most of the beauty that was displayed with so many colors of leaves is now gone just bare trees and the beauty gone too. But in our minds there is a period of rest and when the time arrives again new life will show up and there will be beauty again. However, there is still a view now and nature is being displayed in a different way, with the season changes.

  • The Playhouse

    The alarm was set for 5:30 a.m.. I reached to turn it off at 5. That

    was a signal that my "engine" was warming early for the day's race. I

    hurried to my study to organize my thoughts for Bible study and to get

    God's Word into my head and heart before the world got its turn.

    The peace of God's Word calmed my spirit as I stepped into the day's

    routine of showering and dressing. Before I turned on the blow dryer,

    I heard a crash in the kitchen. "What happened?!" I yelled to Othel as

  • Women/s Celebration Meeting was Tuesday, November 27. It was so good. The Family Life Center was just full of beautiful tables.

    I just was not able to do a table this year. I sat at Valerie Carters table which was so unique with large candles of varied height with greenery, little Santas, Christmas Balls, and Pine Cones around the base.

    Ginger Harrell and Angela Shirleys tables were both close by, but they ate at Valeries table because theirs were full.

  • The Ecru Christmas Parade was another success this year. I know there were over 30 entries for when Marie and I were looking for The Center Hill Float, we asked one person what number he was and he said 31...we were #21...We rode the float with the younger ones and enjoyed it, but we missed all the other entries so we're going to let the younger adults ride next year so we can enjoy seeing them!!!

  • Last week we had a basketball game. The 7th grade girls didnt play, but the remaining teams did. The 7th grade boys and 8th grade girls won, and the 8th grade boys played really hard, but came up short. Congrats on the games, and good luck to you on the remaining games!

    Last week we had a soccer game. The girls won 1-0, and the boys won 2-0. The soccer team did a really good job, so give them a round of applause, and the best of luck to you on the remaining season!

  • The Playhouse

    It was one of those hectic days last week - I was determined to make

    my completed stack of orders larger than my "to do" stack. My desk calendar reminded me of the Christmas countdown, and the ringing phone threatened me that the day's work might be extended. Even the doorbell chime sounded like: Hurrr- Reee.

  • Hello Everybody. I'm beginning to warm up to my new post as High School reporter and I want to thank everyone who has been a help to me or encouraged me. There's not enough room to fit them all in this article. Last week mostly consisted of busy students getting ready for the Reading Fair. The kids put a lot of hard work into their projects.

  • The beginning of the month has brought some gloomy weather outside. We can still be grateful for the good warm atmosphere on the inside. It is not so pleasant for the workers who has to get out so early to head out to their jobs.

    One good thing about that is the good roads to travel on and the good cars to

    get there in and not out in the weather. In past years I can remember those

    muddy roads would get frozen up and what a bumpy ride to get to school and
