Happy Valentine's Day!
Today, February 14th is Valentine's Day. Guys, I hope you remembered that special someone in your life. I'm talking about your wife, sweetheart, etc. If you did not get them something special, like flowers, chocolates or a card, buddy I know you are definitely in the "Doghouse".
The Mt. Hermon Baptist Church ladies hosted a Soup Luncheon on Saturday, January 20th. They had several kinds of soups to choose from, along with cornbread muffins, crackers, and several desserts. Ivy from the Mission officer was there to speak to us and make some plans for upcoming meetings. Several door associations were there. Our ladies attending were Frances, Schilling, Janice Schilling, Sheila Smith, Billie Lewis, Martha June Miller, Cherie Smith, and Nell Smith. Everyone enjoyed the food and sweet fellowship and looked forward to the next gathering. Thank you, Ivy, for a great time.

Jackie and I attended the Blue Star Memorial Dedication on Saturday, January 27th held at the Mt. Hermon School. The Blue Star marker/plaque was placed on the MHS campus. The Mt. Hermon Garden Club ladies/ Club members participated in the special program. Following the program, a reception was held at the Mt. Hermon Ruritan Club House. An assortment of finger foods and beverages was enjoyed by all. I commend the Mt. Hermon Garden Club for the kind gesture. More details of the program/history is in the January 31st edition of The Era-Leader if you are interested.
