Fair Hill News

Last week's news:

I apologize for not having the news last week. I was on a trip and didn't get back until Saturday.

Annie Lee Cornelius was admitted to Hillcrest last Tuesday for rehab. Remember her in your prayers.

Aaron Morton and I went on a church trip with Morris Baptist TNT. We left last Thursday and returned home on Saturday. We had a wonderful time touring the town of Eureka Springs. Thursday night we all went to a jamboree singing. I think Bro. Tal Webb enjoyed J.R. the comedian the most. Friday night was the big event, as we went to the Passion Play. We got a little wet, but it did not bother the country folks. We hung in there. Saturday morning we had to pick up and get ready for the long journey back home.

Glenn, Marilyn and Stephanie Langley from Baton Rouge, La., and Tommy and Wanda Fontaine from Ft. Worth, Texas, visited with Thomas and Ruby Fontaine this past weekend.

Henry Stuart visited Friday with Annie Lee Cornelius and several others who are at Hillcrest.

Al Formby and Tony and Kim Overton spent Saturday at Suckles Lake fishing and visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Larry Overton from Amity and Jeremy, Tiffany, J.J. and Jeremy Skaggs from Little Rock.

This week's news:

I don't know about all of you but a little rain sure would look good on my garden and on my head.

J.W. and Maxine Glass had their annual 4th of July ice cream supper. There were about 80 folks there. Some came as far away as Texarkana and Magnolia.

Everyone had a wonderful time visiting, throwing horse shoes and enjoying the fireworks. We're all looking forward to next year.
