MERRY CHRISTMAS to PJ and family and to all the TNWeakle family! It's snowing in Jackson, TN, and sticking to trees and rooftops. Sleet preceded snow that blanketed the ground shortly after midnight last night but the temperature hovered at 34 degrees and the snow was mostly gone by morning. The temp has dropped below freezing now, so look out! HO! HO! HO! and may this be your best Christmas ever! Russell Gallimore

Here is another down home story by Jeannie Travis. Enjoy. MaryCarol That Bad Cyclone by Jeannie Travis My Mama, Myrtle Buntin Winchester, lived through a terrible cyclone when she was a little girl...guessing around 1916. They all held hands and knelt in a circle, and the storm tweaked the corner of the house just a little bit, but Papa had hewed those big logs himself, and they stood strong through the storm that blew the potato house clean away, and hurt many people on it's destructive path across Tennessee.... You might think blowing a 'potato house' away is a minor thing, but Papa built that too, and it was tall and had double walls with sawdust in between for insulation. Folks paid him to store their sweet potatoes for them...maybe it cured them a bit like you cure meat. I have a log from under the window of the corner of the house that got tweaked. It is notched like the big logs at the end are, and I have part of my little cottage collection sitting on the different levels. Mama said for a long time after the cyclone blew itself out they found weird and strange items laying around .One thing I remember her mentioning was big old baking pans from a bakery far away and they used to sit in them and slide down grassy hillsides. One fellow found a diamond ring at the base of a tree. 2 Red Delicious apple trees, and 2 Yellow Delicious trees alongside Ma's garden were fully grown and heavily laden with apples. When the storm cleared, only the 2 yellow apple trees stood..The grassy hillside was thick with apples... I remember picking apples from those same trees when I was a little girl. Ma allowed us to eat all the apples we wanted if we picked them up off the ground. I can remember selecting a perfect apple after climbing around in the tree, rubbing a bit of dirt into the stem end, and going to Ma and showing her that stem to prove I had not picked it off the tree. I'm sure she was onto my trick, and probably got a good laugh out of my shenanigans. I was such a scrawny little bugger most of the apples were safe from me, just couldn't eat enough to make a dent in the harvest from those 2 big trees. I didn't tell anyone else that trick, because they had tattled on me before . We loved to hear about that terrible storm , and I remember Mama telling us of a man that was caught out in the open by that same cyclone...She said he wrapped his arms around a young tree and held on till it was over, even though the wind was just whipping his legs against the ground.. Well, believe it or not, that very same day she was telling us this story MANY years later, that fellow drove up to our home. I'd never seen him before or after that. Jeannie Travis.

On That Night By Dave Ray On that night in Bethlehem On that night when Jesus came On that night the mighty angels sing Now we hear the Church bells ring On that night the shepherds' fright On that night the Star shown bright On that night the Christ Child born Now we need never be forlorn On that night no vacancy On that night the manger lay On that night the Wonderful Child Now we know Him, meek and mild On that night the virgin cries On that night the new mother sighs On that night the new father beams Now we have all our dreams On that night the swaddling clothes On that night The Father knows On that night our Lord came to earth Now we sing hymns about His birth! On that night the cattle low On that night we here below On that night we wonder so Now we know, now we know On another night He lay in the grave On that day His all He gave On the third morning He rose alive! Now we have eternal life! Copyright 2010 David L. Ray
