May is such a busy month. The winter season is over and it’s time to enjoy all the many events taking place. There are Decorations, Homecom-ings, Mother’s Day, graduations, baseball and softball and a lower scale of yard sales on Friday and Saturday. This is a great time to plan a picnic at the park with the family.

Christian love and sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Darin Morgan Sr., Kayla Hancock, the Martin family, Robert Slack, Helen Mote Hogan and Ruth Anders.

The descendants of the late Andrew Motes family and Raymond Motes family met for Sunday lunch at the Somerville Court-house recently. Those attending were Buck and Faye Johnson, Lois Hill, Fred and Evelyn Motes, Nathan, Javon and Jarrod Alldredge, Rachel Tucker, Mike and Kaye Widener, John Motes, Mike, Holly, Matthew and Hannah Clem, Steve and Loretta Coleman, Kenneth and Gwen Motes, Greg, Jennifer, Ashley and Emily Motes, Tammy, Jarrod and Braydon Galloway, Sarah Clark and Bill and Glynice Widener.
