Hello from Baldwin,

How is everyone’s week going? I hope everyone is having a great one. We have been getting a little much-needed rain this week, and if the weather man is right, it is suppose to be a beautiful weekend. I hope he is right.

Happy birthday wishes go out next week to Lindsey Anne Perkins and Michael Shanks, Sunday; Connie Howe, Thursday; Margaret Curry, Nancy Carol Young, Martha Perkins and Artie Ross, Friday; Devin Foster, Mandy Perkins and Kylie Goins, Saturday.

I hope that you all have happy birthdays and many more to come.

Happy anniversary wishes go out next week to Tommy and Christi Harrison on Monday. I hope that you have a very happy anniversary and many more to come.

On Saturday, my sisters and I will be setting up our crafts to sale at the Richmond First Presbyterian Church Arts and Crafts for Missions, from 9 a.m.to 3 p.m. The location will be at the Christian Life Center, 330 West Main Street. Lunch will be served for $5 a ticket, that will include soup, sandwich, drink and small dessert and will be served 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be an all-day bake sale and silent auction. Many crafters are coming from surrounding counties. There will be gently used books, CDs, jewelry, toys and purses for all ages. We do hope that you will be able to stop by and shop at this craft show. I am sure you won’t go home empty handed.

On Dec. 4, the Altrusa Club will be having its chili supper at the Fellowship Hall of the First Christian Church on the corner of Main and Lancaster Avenue. They will be serving chili from 5 to 7 pm. For $5, you will get a hot bowl of chili, a drink and dessert. Children 5 and under eat free. My sisters and I and other crafters will be set up with our crafts at the chili supper, so before you go to the Richmond Christmas parade, stop in and get you a hot bowl of chili to warm you up and look at the crafts. We hope to see you there. Mark your calendars for these craft shows and we hope to see you there.

On Saturday, Dec. 5, we’ll be showing our crafts for sale at the Holiday Happenings Craft Fair at Richmond City Hall, located on West Main Street. There will be several crafters there with many items for sale. Kenny Caudill Photography will there from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to take photos with Santa. Also, Cub Scout Troop Pack 376 will be there selling refreshments and snacks as a fundraising project.

On Sunday afternoon, the descendents of Johnson Dudley Jones and Hattie Lou Burrus Jones gathered at the fellowship hall of Bethel Christian Church for a family reunion. Them being my grandparents, I was there. My grandparents had 10 grandchildren and nine of them attended the reunion. Thirty-five family members in all were there and two visitors. We enjoyed a wonderful potluck meal, looking at old pictures and taking new pictures. We had a video of our grandmother, Hattie Burrus Jones’ 100th birthday playing all afternoon. It was a wonderful day. I don’t think there was anyone who didn’t have a great time.

Well, I guess that’s all for now. Let me know if you hear any news. Just give me a call at 623-4579 or e-mail at pljones61@netzero.com.

Looking at various things
During my eight years away from home (Richmond and Madison County) the post office tower was a beacon welcoming me home.
Today, the the stone edifice completed in the 1892 as a post office and federal courthouse is the Madison Hall of Justice.

Things are different than when we were young
I was just thinking the other day about how confused we seniors are most of the time. Things are so different than when we were young. We find it hard to understand much of what we are confronted with.
Some things like this happen to us frequently. We begin a conversation with, “In my day.” We look so old we are followed around by archeologists. We tell our kids that old age causes us to become wiser and they tell us, “Then you must be a genius.” We no longer look forward to a wild evening out, but look forward to a dull evening in.

We are heirs and joint-heirs to His kingdom
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. — Rom 8:14-19

How little exercise is necessary for good health?
How little exercise is necessary for good health?
That question was the subject of a recent investigation by a team of exercise scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and the answer seems to be a lot less than we might think, as long as we’re willing to put in the effort.

A mothers love will always be there. Even when everyone else stops to rest, her love for her family continues. She is always working, carring and sharing what she has with her children, even if she has to do without for herself.

Start planting your hot weather vegetables now

Hopefully, the unusual spate of unseasonably warm weather we had earlier this spring did not fool you, and you’ve been patiently waiting to get your hot weather veggies, such as tomatoes and peppers, into your summer vegetable garden.

Now is a good time to start planting these delectable goodies.

Rethinking the benefits of crunches
I’ve been doing crunches all my adult life and it may be one of the reasons I have back problems. Research from the University of Waterloo in Ontario has found that repeated bending of the spine, such as occurs when doing crunches, can contribute over time to damage of spinal discs. The results are presented — along with a lot of other useful information — in the book, “Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance” by Stuart McGill.

Is 401(k) good for America?
Internal Revenue Code section 401(k) is the only section of the US tax code that average people can cite.
They know it has something to do with whether or not they can retire with dignity. Or retire at all.

He is there when you need Him
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. — Psalm 139:7-10
