This was a special week end for John and lots of other people that grew up in the Minter City area. They have from a Minter City Group and had a mini reunion over the week end. This all started with dinner at the Crystal Saturday evening. There were so many memories to be shared you couldn't keep up with all the chat. It was a great evening and all that attended enjoyed themselves greatly. Sunday morning brought all out for breakfast at the Methodist Church followed by a short worship service.
The group was made up of student, teachers, and friends of those that attended school there in Minter City started in the year 1949 to 1958, then the school was closed and the students went on to different locations.
It was a nice crowd for the first get together. I believe about 45 people made it for the evening. Some came from a far away as New Jersey, but most were from within the state. Even being close they had lost contact and was great to go over old times and remember their younger days.
The ladies of the church provided everyone with a great breakfast meal, oh yea we cant forget the men that had great times gossiping while cooking the bacon and sausage.
I am including a few pictures from Sat. night and Sunday at church.

In Montgomery visiting Linda. Trip has been fun so far. Millie and I drove over Saturday afternoon for a few days to visit with Linda. We have shopped, eaten , and talked wayyyyyyyyyy too much, but it has been fun. Tomorrow is Millies birthday so we will be having dinner together. The kids will come over also and that always makes for an interesting evening.
Thursday morning we hit the road home. Ill be ready to see John and maybe we can make a short road trip on the bikes. That all depends on how the crops are doing.
Will have to get home check on Oreo , mow the yard, and tend to the garden. Know there are snap bean ready to pick, and who knows I might even have a tomato ready to slice. Oh yea!!!!
Hope everyone is doing well............
later

Weather has for sure warmed up. But I'm enjoying it. The worse part is those little biting bugs we all love here in Mississippi.
At least it is riding weather. I did ride yesterday and might go out a while tomorrow.
Had lunch with Sydney , Ben , and Sam yesterday when they got out of church. That was nice and her little hands have healed nicely.
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer and time out of school. It will be time to go back before we know it.
Later ..........

School has been out a week now...........report cards should have reached home by now. I'm sure some student were very surprised while others were sad. I hope all the kids enjoy there summer and come back in a few months ready to work and step it up a bit.
My first week has been busy. Keeping Sydney, hanging out with John, and doing the doctor thing. I got my knee injected yesterday to try and have a good summer with little pain. Dr. Bennett said it would take a few week to kick in but should last up to 8 months. So kind of new jell stuff he used, and of course a huge needle. It wasn't that bad......I have done it now so many times ....just close my eyes and hold my breath.
Last night a friend came over to help John work on my bike. Trying to stop the fuel over flow when it get hots. Well needless to say I was loading the bike on the lift when it and me went down to the concert. If you can believe it,, not even a scratch anywhere on my bike........yes not one. The only damage is the big bruise on my hip where I hit the ground.
Then today I rode over to see my sweet Sydney. Told her she needed a swimming pool her words to me were" Gammie we broke". Ben taught her to say that...........so of course, Gammie went right away and got her a pool. She and a few of her friends had a blast in the pool.
Tomorrow is a new day.................if the rain ever stops then we can ride. And Ill try very hard to keep the shiny side up this time.
Later.......enjoy
