Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.

Lewis Jackson was taken to St. Michael Hospital on Friday afternoon. He had a heart attack while working on some water pipes. The aorta was blocked and he had balloon surgery, but was supposed to come home Monday. The rest of the Jackson family had lunch at Margaret's and then went to the hospital. Continue to pray for them as he recuperates at home. Roscoe and I visited with him on Thanksgiving.

We had lunch on Thanksgiving with Dwight and Marion Williams of Texarkana.

Our great granddaughter, Kathryne Rocole, of Magnolia spent Sunday night and Monday night with us. We Christmas shopped in Texarkana on Monday.
