Hello this week to our dear friends in Christ Ella Mae Dunn and Billy and Marie Adams, all of Farmville.

Barry and Linda Miles, of Cumberland, spent April 23-30 at the 19th annual “Singing in The Sun” in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where 88 souls came to know Christ. They also enjoyed Southern Gospel Music from groups nationwide. They did some sightseeing, shopping, and walking on the beach and on the boardwalk.

Visiting in the home of James and Virginia Boyles, of Cumberland, was James’ sister, Elizabeth Stone, and her daughter, Linda Seay, both of Richmond.

Here’s a little story you might enjoy about a couple named Doug and Carolyn DeMuth, of Buckingham, who celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on Sunday. They recall their Hyatt Richmond wedding night starting with being taken to a two-twin bed bedroom. Oops, this room won’t do, so they were asked if they would accept another room at the same price. It turned out to be a king size bed suite across the hall from Olivia Newton John. Below their window was Olivia’s tour bus with her nickname beautifully scripted as “Turkey Legs.” No, the DeMuths did not get to meet Olivia, but instead they went out for supper. I wish Doug and Carolyn DeMuth a happy 40th wedding anniversary.
