Thanks be to God!

Collin and his first deer killed this year about 2 weeks before Thanksgiving during the youth hunt. Duncan also killed a deer that weekend as well!

Logan and Duncan playing at the cabin ! They had so much fun together wrestling!

Mama Bea, my only grandparent living, was with us for our Thanksgiving meal. It's so great having her with us and my kids just love her!

Well Thanksgiving Holidays are over and it's Monday morning and the kids are back at school and Randy is at work. I've been organizing papers, washing lots of clothes, thawing out whole trout for lunch (it's great to have fresh trout on a Monday morning!) I am blessed beyond belief! We went to church yesterday at Grenada Pentecostal again and what a blessing that was! The preaching is phenomenal and the infilling of the holy spirit wonderful! Now I feel I can make it through the next week. The kids really enjoy Sunday school there and Mary Randal made a new friend named Maggie that she really likes. Of course I love all the women there especially new friend Jessica who is expecting her third child. We went to the cabin and had wonderful smoked turkey, I made dressing and homeade rolls and pumpkin pie and gravy and we had a lot of great casseroles and fresh greens and turnips and cornbread. Aunt Paula and Uncle Gary came over and we all played Mexican Train Dominoes until midnight. Mary Randal was a good little hostess and popped bag after bag of popcorn to pass around while we played. Mama and I took Mary Randal and Paige, one of my neices to Jackson to Fresh Market and other shops(my first time there) and had a good day. Charles killed a deer and the boys all hunted a lot but mostly we got a lot of goodrest and sat by the fireplace and enjoyed being in the forest home we have there! God is so good!

Time Flies!

My brother Jeff and his new baby!

Randy with new baby Ruthie! Oh I forgot to say that Mary Randal had her school play and was chosen to be the first one out on the stage by herself to act alone and she was thrilled! She was also a vine dancer in the play. Our school's HS football also won state champs this year and the kids got a day off from the school - it was the day Ruthie was born. Go Generals! They were all so excited ! Also we are putting a commercial about our business on Yellowbook online so go to Mississippi Insurance Agencies and put in Mid Delta Ins. and you can see our commercial - hopefully it will be up in a few weeks!

Hard to believe it's been a month since I last posted! There has been so much going on with the Hensons these days! There was the Ladies Night dinner at the CDC where I used to work teaching preschool which was a lot of fun. The men served the women for a change! I got to visit with my great friend Lelaine and her daughters and other teachers. Mary Randal had a Halloween costume party she went to and the boys and I went too - it was at night and a lot of fun. Bobby and Helen took the boys to Cleveland one night to the new Railroad Museum and out to eat. My father in law donated a lot of items to the museum since he worked on the railroad for so long. I chaperoned a field trip to Rolling Fork to the Great Delta Bear Affair - it turned off so cold that day but we drank hot chocolate and picnicked and the kids all enjoyed it. Lacy had a baby shower in Indianola at her church and that was fun - she got a lot of pink and the baby arrived on Nov. 12th. Lillian Ruth Tollison weighed 7 pounds and it absolutely beautiful! I got to hold her right after she was born. I went to Memphis with Mama one day for her annual mammogram and we had a wonderful lunch at Davis Kidd Bookstore (our fav place in Memphis for lunch) and shopped a little in there. We were dissapppointed to see that all of our fav places at Saddle creek mall had closed (Crabtree, Dinstuhls, and I think Strasburg was gone too) Those were the best places I liked to go! Kelly, Scott and family came down for Halloween and we all went hay riding and trick or treating with them and my brother's family and had 12 spending the night that night. It was a ton of fun! The next day we went to Boyle to hear my brother preach and then to Racquet Club for lunch with Helen and Bobby and all the rest. I fixed dinner on Halloween night the usual chili, mummy dogs, m&m brownies and dips. The dentist took a lot of our money this month with all three kids going and Duncan will have braces soon . He doesn't want them at ALL!!!! Randy and I went to a KA dance/buffet one night and pops and mimi kept the kids for us but we weren't gone but 2 hours.Last weekend we went to Grenada and both boys killed deer. Collin got a 6 point and Duncan a doe so we have plenty of deer meat for a while! We also went to Grenada Pentecostal Sunday and I was baptised in the holy spirit! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE THAT WAS! I felt the Lord's presence so strongly and enjoyed the praise and worship so much it's hard to describe!I've been working at Mid Delta INsurance a lot now usually twice a week and staying busy around the house cooking, helping with homeowork, and just playing with the kids and enjoying them. It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week. Friday I'll be helping with the preschool Thanksgiving Program at the Methodist Church and Mary RAndal will be the naughty angel in our church program and Duncan the narrator. I'll go watch them practice tonight! Well see ya! Have a great Thanksgiving holiday! love missy
