Hello everyone!
We've had some beautiful weather the last few days, not cold at all, but is subject to change any day. We only have ten more days 'til Christmas Day. There is still so much to do around here.
I'm happy to announce that Tanner and Olicia Watson are now proud parents of their first heir. A son was born on Thursday, December 1st at Baton Rouge General Hospital. He arrived at 3:14 p.m. He weighed 6 pounds-7 ounces, and measured 19 ½ inches long. He was named Peter Owen Watson. He is the first great grandson of Lorell Morris and my great nephew. Welcome Peter Owen Watson to our world. You'll be spoiled soon. Congratulations to Tanner and Olivia.
Fame Miller and family had a nice visit with her family during Thanksgiving break. Her mom Mrs. Vera lives down the Bayou. She also visited with her brother, which she enjoyed.
Gas prices are down a few cents, as of December 4th. I paid $3.09 9/10 per gallon. Thankfully we got a slight break here at Christmas time. Good!

Lorell and I drove to Pine Missionary Baptist Church on Monday before Thanksgiving to pick up lunches. As we arrived the young people brought them out to us. They were delicious. What a treat! Richard, Lorell and I had another good Thanksgiving lunch the next day at Bogue Chitto Cafe'. Some good eating.
We join together praising the Lord that Kay Burch Rogers is doing better and is home from the hospital. Thank the Lord our prayers were answered.
Christian sympathy is sent out to the family of Mattie Pasterio, and Dale Proffitt. You are in our prayers.
Thought for the week! God's grace is sufficient for us in good times and in bad times. Our gracious God has blessed us with another week. Give him thanks.
Until next writing-Take care- Prayerfully Nell.
