Gordonsburg/Little Swan News

We have been having some much welcome fall weather and it is now fall or autumn whichever you like. The night and early morning temperatures have been in the fifties and low sixties, which is a welcome from the high temperatures we experienced a few weeks ago. The leaves are really falling which means more mowing to cut them up or raking the yards. My patio has large trees next to it so there are leaves on it every day.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Kasey Baker, Joyce Barnes, Colene Beasley, Lynn Brown, Gertie Carroll, Spencer Clark, Robert and Pat Dickson, Ophelia Green, James Hammack, Carolyn Hargrave, Betty Hasty, Darrell Hinson, Wanda Holloway, Debbie Johnston, Florine Johnston, Bobby Kilpatrick, Denny King, Monette King, David Love, Claire Elizabeth Mayberry, Ronnie Lewis, Doug Miller, Howard Miller, Jackie McFall, Carla Murphy, Beverly Sue Novogurski, Lonnie Odom, Joy Orman, Roger Pace, Debbie Pierce, Jill Rankin, Harry Runions, Mike Runions, Russell Runions, Johnnie Faye Skelton, Terry Stutts, Jeff Tatum, Mary Ann Whitehead, Diane Williams, Doug Williams, and Annette Williams. Remember these in your daily prayers that they might be better and for any others that need prayers.

Raelynn Eastep celebrated her birthday with family at the home of her grandmother, Jeanea Warf and father, Timothy Eastep there was hamburgers, hot dogs and then cake and a decorated thing you hang up and let the children try to break it and are rewarded with candy and sometimes small toys and then she got to open her gifts from everyone-there was many clothes which is always nice and toys and other things. Everyone had a great afternoon and was warm enough and not too hot so everyone moved outside after the festivities.

Happy anniversary to Eddie and Marlene Holt on October 7th, we wish for them many more years to celebrate life together.

The Lewis County Historical Society will meet on October 2, 2023 at the Senior Citizen Building, we are asking members and others who wish to come to bring items or stories about your favorite things about this time of year.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones this past week. These are the ones I know about Ralphard Wayne “Skip” Kirby, Linda D Grinder, Paul “Dude” Edward Deaton, Bertha Elizabeth Walker, Generalle Waine Ramer, Robia Edna Jenkins, Dorothy Nell Staggs, Hetty Sue Gordon, Lewis “Skeeter” Edward Cleaton, Avery Patrick Cathey, William E Baird, Tommy Gene Cagle, Sarah “Janie” Jane Warren, and Mary Nell Mayberry. Prayers for these families and any others about which we may not know.

We will be in the month of October by the next week, this year is slipping by or should I say rushing by or so it seems. Getting to the time of year where there are several holidays and special occasions such as the October Heritage Festival, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then Christmas. Praying that you and your family enjoy the coming weeks and have good health. Remember to help those who are less fortunate.
