Carey Chapel & Mt. Pleasant News Allene Teel Carey Chapel Baptist Church members to honor widows and widowers with hangout Saturday A large crowd attended Howard and Carol Gardner’s 50th wedding
anniversary Saturday, Nov. 17, in the fellowship hall at First Baptist
Mt. Pleasant. Bro. Doug Bell was the MC. Ailee Coopwood welcomed the
guests. Comments were shared by relatives and friends of what Howard
and Carol meant to them. A special song was sung by Brandy Bell. The
blessing was asked by Bro. Doug. There were plenty of cake, punch, food
and fellowship. On Saturday, Dec. 1, the members at Carey Chapel Baptist church will be honoring the widows and widowers with a hangout. If
you would like to order a Christmas poinsettia in memory or honor of a
loved one to be placed in the sanctuary at First Baptist, see Jean Dunn
or Barbara Ellis. They will be picked up Dec. 8. Michelle Teel is home from St. Francis Hospital after a brief stay. Mary Mills is home after spending some time in Germantown Rehab. I enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner at the home of Ivy and Patricia Teel and family. The ladies at First Baptist Church enjoyed a night out. They dined at O’Charley’s in Collierville. Travis
and LeeAnne Edwards carried their son, Cole, to Shreveport, La. for a
checkup on his hand recently. He is to have surgery in February. I Remember Many
years ago, my husband’s sister, who lived in Holly Springs, invited the
family to a Thanksgiving dinner and her son’s football game. When we
left Thanksgiving morning the sun was shining pretty and bright. No
clouds to be seen in the sky. After a good Thanksgiving dinner, we all
went to the football game. About midafternoon when the game was in full
swing, clouds began to roll in from the north with a cold wind. Then it
began to snow. It didn’t seem to faze the ball players. We left
before the game was over. Before we arrived at home the ground was
covered in snow. The worse part, our son and cousin had to ride in the back of our pickup truck. They were about frozen when we arrived at home. The
next morning we had four inches of snow on the ground. This was the
first time and the last I remember it snowing on Thanksgiving Day. |
