Flora Bishop

Flora Harris Bishop recently suffered a stroke and is in a nursing home in Ridgeland. Here is a portion of an e-mail I received from Sherrilyn Helms Brown.

"I have visited with Flora twice since she has been moved to Highland Home
down the parkway from me. The first visit was good, she understood who I was
and even asked about my flower garden. Then Thanksgiving Day when I went,
she was not very responsive as before. I think this is just the way it is,
some days better than others. She is paralyzed on her left side and has a
feeding tube. But she seems to be comfortable. I will let you know when I
go back to visit."

George: I am very sorry to learn about Mrs. Flora's health problems. Some years ago, she often came to Plantersville and took all her aunts out to eat; she always included my Aunt Johnnie, who was her aunt by marriage.

Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Pontotoc at the Sims' house with family and friends. This picture shows about half our crowd enjoying a Thanksgiving feast.

For those of you who do not know, Paul "Tip" Sims, with his back to the camera, served as interim pastor at First Baptist in Plantersville a few years ago.

Laney Sims, who was injured in an accident back in the summer, is doing well and hopes to avoid any additional surgery on her finger.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. We'll be heading for north Mississippi in a few minutes and will spend Thanksgiving Day with the Sims family in Pontotoc.

Finding Homes

The Plantersville Youth Council recently assisted the Humane Society in helping to find homes for dogs and cats.

James and Gail

This picture of James Kelly and Gail Geno was taken recently by Ruth Kelly at Estes Fish House in Plantersville.

James is my cousin, and both he and Gail graduated from Tupelo High School with Carole. I borrowed the picture from the class of 1960's web site which Gail oversees.

Family

A day or so ago, I found this picture of my mother and father and me. I don't remember seeing it before though I must have.

My father worked for the highway department and we lived in several different places; don't have any idea where this was taken or whose car that is. My Dad never learned to drive.
