OFFICE—Hsfld a nbte from
Dorothy Hooper McLean. She
writess “Thank you for this
wonderful paper. Can’t wait
for Monday’s mail for my
paper. Hope this finds all of
you well. Tell Nancy & Lynn
hello for me. Lynn’s family
was my neighbor when I lived
in East Texas! My best. God
Bless.” (Thank you dear
Dorothy. Keep reading and
stay well).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY—Chris
Crawford Oct. 24th! Many
more.
TRIP—Cecil & Kay Whitton
have returned from a long
motor trip to Maine and back!
What a ride! They traveled
through several states, got to
Maine and ate lobster and clam
chowder. The food there was
high as a cat’s back, they said.
Cecil had bought a new
memory card tor his camera
that held many pictures(you
know how he likes to take
pictures) and low & behold! his
camera went on the blink and
he couldn’t take any. They
bought a little camera and took
a few shots, but oh, how Cecil
wanted to throw his camera out
of the car window! Also, they
got lost in Massachusetts and
drove and drove before asking
the way out. Good thing they
missed New York City, Cecil
said. They are home and well
and got to go on a “once in a
lifetime” jaunt to the north.
They even visited the Amish
Community and it was a bit
different from our way of life,
Kay said. Welcome home, kids.
And thanks for the pictures.
FROM MARTHA—
Congratulations to Ms.
Wagnon and Ms.Khatri, along
the “Roarin Band from
Tigerland”. The band made a
“1” in marching contest in
Longview. Mr. Albert Burns
says for the first time in a very
long time. He believes the band
received “1” in Texas &
Louisiana back when Ms.
Virginia was in the band. The
band will have fund raisers
coming up. Support the band.
SICK ONES—Nancy and
Lynn were sick in bed all
weekend with some kind of flu
like thing. She came on to work
Monday and Tuesday, still
sounds awful wheezy. Must be
some kind of bug since they
both came down with it. We
couldn’t go to the event in the
park on the Square Saturday.
Ruthie Latin went and said it
was fun especially the sweet
potato pie judging.

Things you can live without
know ing if you have to
Ever hear of a bag called a
“duffle bag?’ What is that?
What exactly is a “brain
storm?” Ever have one? Was
there lightning and thunder?
What is a tizzy? What
happens ?
Why is a fight called a
“fracus?” Who started that?
Ever hear a tale called a
“cock and bull” story? What
was it about?
Good morning! This is the
day the Lord has made. Let us
rejoice and be glad in it.
I have a warm fire in the fire-
place and a cup of tea in my
“Don’t mess with Texas
women” mug, so let’s visit for a
few minutes.
I’m writing this Tuesday
morning and for the last two
mornings our thermometer has
registered in the upper thirties.
Kinda makes you feel like fall
is here, doesn’t it? There’s a
little color beginning to show in
the woods now, with a strong
hint of more to come. Sassafras
and tallow trees and a few gum
trees are red now, with some
gum trees showing yellow. Win-
ter birds (purple finches andjun-
cos, mostly) are coming to the
feeders little by little. Gene is
replacing the screen in the storm
door with the glass panel now. I
guess these are all signs of an-
other season change. I really
enjoy fall.
We’ve been watching colors
change on our semi-weekly trips
to Shreveport. There’s not much
else to do except watch the gas
gauge go down. Gene’s cardiac
rehab is going well, but he’s
considering cutting back to once
a week and doing the other
workouts at home. That way
there would still be a monitored
report for his doctor, but it would
cut one of the trips out. We’ll
see.
Our Methodist Church social
for October was last weekend.
Chris and Ike Reeves hosted a
wiener roast/hayride from their
place. Clnis had everything “just
right” for a wiener roast; fires
to roast hotdogs on, a pot of
chili, fixings to make ‘Smores
and hot chocolate ready when
we got back.
Their yard was decorated
just like you’d expect Chris’
yard to look, with mums and
candles and lights; a welcoming
feel. About twenty of us went on
the hayride, through back roads
of Shelby and Panola counties,
while the remainder stayed
around the fires and visited un-
til we returned. The usual hay-
ride/campfire songs were sung
as we rolled (or bounced) along.
You know, “On Top of Old
Smoky,” (or maybe it was “On
Top of Spaghetti”) and “Kum-
ba-yali” and, well, you know the
songs. I think “Six Bottles of
Beer” (ninety nine were too
many) was in there someplace.
I never went on a hayride,
campout or band trip that that
song wasn’t sung. Interminably.
As the phrase goes, a good time
was had by all.
Congratulations to the
“Roaring Band From
Tigerland.” I understand they
got a one in competition last
Saturday. They sound and look
good. We should all be proud of
them. I know from experience
that it takes a lot of dedication
to accomplish what they’ve
done.
Congratulations to the Tiger
football team, also. They are 6-
1 on the season now. Friday
night is their annual meeting
with Joaquin, in Tenalia at 7:30.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time
in the yard this week, getting
spring flowering bulbs, pansies
and snapdragons in the ground.
I’m trying tulips this year for the
first time in years, but those
bulbs are in the fridge until De-
cember.
I planted lantana and salvia,
which I’ve never grown, and
Gene planted more rosebushes
and a couple of crape myrtles
Fern gave us.
The Shreveport Concert
Band played its fall concert Sun-
day afternoon, the Monday night
we began working on our
Christmas concert, scheduled
for December 3. It can’t have
been almost a year since we
played the 2005 Christmas con-
cert. I guess it’s almost time to
close. We’re going to gather pine
straw to mulch the flower beds
and plant the last of the pansies
in pots on the plant bench.
According to my calendar,
we go off Daylight Silly Time,
as Gene calls it, this Sunday, so
don’t forget to change your
clocks. I think it’s “fall, back”
but don’t depend on my infor-
mation for that.
There are still a few more
days to get by the pumpkin patch
at the Tenaha Methodist Church
for jackolantern pumpkins or
fall decorations. It’s open from
10:00 until about 7:00 each day.
Until next week, this is Maggie,
wishing you warm fires, good
friends and lots of hugs.
Susan Carroll of Hope Clinic in Tenaha gave Doug a flu shot
and a hug last Thursday. They do have flu shots there. Susan
gave me one, too and it didn’t hurt a bit.

among the people.” Matt. 5:3
“Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.”
Matt. 16:17-19 “And Jesus
answered and said unto him,
Blessed art thou Simon Bar-
jona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed it unto thee, but my
Father which is in heaven. And
I say also unto thee, That thou
art Peter, and upon this rock I
will build my church; and the
gates of hell shall not prevail
against it. And I will give unto
thee the keys of the kingdom of
heaven: and whatsoever thou
shaft bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven and whatsoever
thou shaft loose on earth shall
be loosed in heaven.”
Acts 2:1-4 “And when the day
of Pentecost was fully come,
they were all with one accord in
one place. And suddenly there
came a sound from heaven as of
a rushing mighty wind, and it
filled all the house where sitting.
And there appeared unto them
cloven tongues like as of fire,
and sat upon each of them. And
they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost, and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave
them utterance.” Read carefully
5-37 then consider Peter’s an-
swer Acts 3:41 Then Peter said
unto them, Repent, and be bap-
tized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the re-
mission of sins, and ye shall re-
ceive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and
your children, and to all that are
afar off, even as many as the
Lord our God shall call. And
with many other words did he
testify and exhort, saying Save
yourselves from this untoward
generation. Then they that gladly
received his word were bap-
tized: and the same day there
were added unto them about
three thousand souls.” It does
not take any stretch of the imagi-
nation to understand that the
Kingdom came on the Day of
Pentecost. Through out the New
Testament the words Church,
Kingdom, Body of Christ all re-
fer to The Kingdom Christ was
giving the “keys” to when he
spoke to the apostles in, Matt.
