Pulled a fish on to the bank

Gravelly news by Glenna Goodson


Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the check out counter. The man at the counter asked the older boy, Son how old are you?""Eight", the boy replied. The man continued, "Do you know what these are used for?" The boy replied,"Not exactly, but they're not for me. They're for him.He's my brother.He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either one."


It's so much fun to go to Bill Workman's store. People come in and we sit and have fun, visiting---Jamie Pickens came in last Tuesday. He told me about a truck driver and a Texas Patrolman.. The truck driver was speeding in Texas and the patrolman,with his siren blasting, pulled the driver over. The patrolman came up to the truck driver and said,"I've been waiting for you all day." The truck driver says, I got here as fast as I could." The Texas patrolman thought that was so funny he only gave the truck driver a warning.!Trying to be funny did not work for Fred one time.At one time he worked for Douglas Aircraft in Tulsa on the night shift. Coming home at 2 am one morning, he ran a stop sign. There was a cop right there that pulled him over--Fred saysThere was not any traffic so I just "oozed" instead of stopping. Thge cop says"the sign did not say "ooze" it said "stop" and he gave Fred a ticket.

I had taken a book I was reading into Bill's store. Bill was looking at it and said he did not have time to read and Jamie voiced the same excuse.I told them everyone should read--that it would make them smart--Jamie says,"well I've found out--if you're going to be dumb, you've got to be tough."I had never heard that but decided it was probably true.

I saw LaVan Robinson last Wednesday. LaVan is one of my favorite preachers. He told me that his daughter, Sarah, models for Dillards. I am proud for her.

Katie,Robbie Fickle's daughter, was working for Bill Saturday. Katie told me that her mother was doing well and and I was so glad. Katie's son, Kyle, is still stationed in Baghdad. Kyle received another promotion last week. He told his mother that the temperature was 130 degrees over there.And we thought it was hot here!!

I traveled to Waldron last Thursday. I re-joined Weight Watchers. Later, I finally contacted my cousin, Dortha Putman, and she met me at Char Broiler. Her brother, Ted Copeland, has written us a new Fourche Valley reunion song. I think Dortha told me it was to the tune of "My Darling Clementine."That should be good and peppy!!

John Meredith has rented his house, the former Bea Neighbor's house. Brittany Powell has rented it for herself and her beautiful baby girl. I am so proud of Brittany and my niece Ashly Swaim because even though with babies for which they are responsible, they are still in college seeking to better their lives.

A man came into Bill Workman's store and noticed a big picture of a deer on the wall. He says"I wish I could kill one of them.A woman in the store says "I have killed 6--with my car!"

Kelly Virbel came to visit our church services at Wing Sunday. We were so very glad she came. I finished teaching a little early and went on to my church at Rover. I was just taking my time--went into a classroom and looked around--I entered the santuary and here came Chris Light and said "Glenna, you are supposed to play the ;piano today." I had forgotten but Chris had the songs ;picked out so it was okay.Then Sunday night I went early to Rover so Chris and I could practice and Bethany, his daughter was gong to sing a solo and we practiced. Bethany does such a good job singing and I love to play for her.There's nothing more wonderful then to feel the presence of the Lord in your church and ;listen to a pastor that always brings the word of God so clearly. But as I was leaving Johnny Turner says, "Did you comb your hair before you came to church ?"and I had to admit "No, i did not":and Johnny said to please go home and fix my hair before i went out in public again.

Taylor and Aex got bites within seconds of one another. .Both children pulled a fish on to the bank about the same time.These were the first fish caught by Alex and Taylor. I was amused by Dr. Shelly's statement that God was good because if one child had caught a fish and the other had not--one woujld have cried tears of joy and the other would have cried in frustration.
