Oxford news– Parking meters are not being installed around the Oxford square as previously announced. There was simply too much opposition. Oxford officials have now decided the best approach is to strictly enforce the 2-hour parking limit.

We were back in Philadelphia last Wednesday for the last few days of the Neshoba County Fair. I got up early Thursday morning and trekked across the fairgrounds to catch Calhoun County 4-Hers in the goat show. I ran into Chris, Sandi and Mikayla Shelton, who told me I was a day early. They were just unloading when I saw them.
Neshoba County Fair Notes– Casey Clark of Bruce set a goal to finish the Heart O’ Dixie Triathlon in 3 hours and 30 minutes. He finished it in 3 hours and 31. Joel left the fairgrounds around 4:30 Saturday morning with Bruce native Kent Moore, of Philadelphia. They headed north to Lake Tiak-O-Khata to watch Casey hit the water for the first leg of the triathlon– the 1/2 mile swim across the lake. They followed him part of the way while cycling, but came onto the fairgrounds to watch him come in.
First of all, we want to apologize to subscribers getting their newspaper at the Bruce post office and the Bruce routes. The newspapers that were sent out to these addresses last week had 4-6 inside pages that were totally or partially black. The front of the paper looked fine, so we weren’t aware of the problem.
After several years of ‘swearing to do it this year,’ I made my first fig jam last week.
Joel and I got back Sunday from our annual newspaper convention. Typically, we go the third week in June to Biloxi. However this year was a five-state affair and was held in Sandestin. Sweet.
I decided the wreaths on my front porch needed a little sprucing up so I added some orange, yellow and lime green flowers so they would have more color. It worked. That next afternoon I came home to see two hummingbirds swarming all around them.
My husband Joel and I, with my son Marshall, his wife Whitney and daughter Addi Claire headed to Orange Beach last week for a couple of days. This is the first year in several years that we haven’t taken all the family down in May. But with jobs, graduation, school and other obligations, it just got to be too much to try to plan a good time for more than 20 people.
In preparation for the Neshoba County Fair next month, my husband Joel and I set Saturday as the day to go down to turn on the water, check the air conditioners, and do the initial chores that need to be done before we have our big cleanup day in a couple of weeks.
Four-month-old granddaughter Ellie Kathryn was a little under the weather this weekend with an ear infection which caused her to run some fever. Whitney whipped out her temporal thermometer to check her fever that we bought a couple of months ago, but had never used.
