Well the Christmas holidays got off to a good start for this old gal. On Sunday, not having service at the church where I am a member, Deacon Albert Holmes, Angela Cullers, and I traveled to Early County to Mt. Zion M.B. Church. This is one of the church's I attended as a child, being raised in Early County from 1926 to adulthood. The associate Pastor Rev. Earl Hallmon did a wonderful job with the sermon.

On Wednesday three of the children of Mrs. Gracie Henderson came by to see me. Her daughter Vivian and Addie Ruth and grand daughter Theresa Kyles of Newark N.J. and Albany, Ga. Their sister Alice of North Carolina called on Wednesday night. I enjoyed them.

Mrs. Elizabeth Sims had a story in the Miller County Hospital during the Christmas holidays.

Had calls from all of my crew. Mrs. Georgia Burr came and her grandchildren Terry, KeeKee and Tia from Atlanta were here also. Everyone enjoyed the day.
