On Monday, Weir saw her grandson, Eli Campbell, receive the Katie Bell Award for “Kourage” at Caddo Mills Elementary. This was related to his diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes and how brave he has been in learning to care for and advocate for himself.

Joyce Dodd reported that Dacy (Weir) Campbell sent food for the Tira Food Pantry. She also shared that “the angels brought four more bags of food.”
Weir and Joyce filled the pantry and stocked the shelves. We always welcome the donations. Also, I want to express my appreciation to all the volunteers who take care of the pantry.
Chip and I met Tiffany and Jaidyn at White Oak Buffet for a delicious meal on Friday evening. On Saturday morning, we all met Landon, Laiken and the boys for Brailon’s T-ball game in Commerce.

Later that evening, Rylan, Brailon and Slaiden came to our house. Their parents, Landon and Laiken, went out for sushi after the storm passed by. Our granddaughter, Jaidyn, came for a visit, too. The boys spent the night and went to church with us on Sunday. Grace and Linda Ellen Vaughn and Tiffany, Jaidyn and Kenden joined us for lunch.
