Personals Mary Clay Brooks Holly Springs group returns from annual ski trip to Beaver Creek, Co. Kay and Laura Wheeler visited with Barbara Reed in Olive Branch, on Monday. She is staying with her daughter while recovering from surgery. Congratulations to Leigh and Dick Douglas on their latest arrival - seven precious pups! They were born last week to their beautiful mother, Bonnie, who is a golden retriever. Happy 80th birthday to Lois Swanee! One would never have known she was 80 if there had not been a party on Saturday for her to celebrate this milestone. Lois is one of the most well-kept ladies in Holly Springs who still has a spring in her step, not to mention how fabulous she looks! Wonder where the fountain of youth can be found in Holly Springs, as I believe those who are in what is considered the “older group” look so much younger than their years?! Pam and Hank Thomas and children, Tiffany, Will and Peyton, Larry and Carri Hutchens and children, Alison and Mary Catherine, Dustin Hutchens and Michelle Wells, all of Holly Springs, and Boyce Hollingsworth of Byhalia, recently returned from their annual ski trip to Beaver Creek, Co.
