A Deer in Clinton

We live in a fairly large subdivision in Clinton. One day this week a deer was grazing in our neighbor's back yard. Carole took this picture just before the deer disappeared into the old road bed that runs behind our house.

This makes the eighth or ninth deer I've seen in the city limits of Clinton. I never saw a deer when I was growing up in Plantersville; are there deer around now?

Have a Happy and Spooky Halloween

John Reed Westmoreland

Sympathy is expressed to the family of John Reed Westmoreland, whose obituary is in today's Journal.

Here Be Dragons

A novel, Here Be Dragons, by June Harris is now available. It may be ordered from iuniverse.com or from Amazon.com.

June is, as most of you know, the daughter of Bill Harris and granddaughter of Luther Harris.

Dr. David Grant

Over the past two days I have had occasion to spend time with two men, one of whom was a missionary for over forty years in Brazil and the other was a minister of education at a number of churches. Both mentioned David Grant. The missionary was in seminary with David, while the other man worked with David when both were ministers in Jackson.

Round Table Discussion

A round table discussion was held at the meeting mentioned in the previous post.

Plantersville Bank Building

According to the mayor's facebook, the old bank building has been sold, and if I understood Gloria correctly, a drug store will open there.

Reminder

The Plantersville Cemetery Memorial is today at three o'clock at the cemetery; in case of rain, it will be moved to the Methodist Church.

Doris and Cam

On August 29th I posted a picture of Cam that Carole took in front of the apartments in Starkville where we lived when Cam was born.

This picture shows Doris holding Cam in front of those same apartments on the day we brought her home from the hospital.


Cam is wearing a dress made by our cousin Mary Alice Morris of the New Chapel community that I wore when I was born; Carly also wore the dress when we took her home from the hospital in December of 2002. After three generations we retired the dress which is now framed and hanging on the wall in front of where I am sitting as I write this.
