You couldn’t miss it unless you were out of the country last week, but the passing of Andy Griffith completed the urban legend circle of deaths of a certain type coming in threes. I suppose we can only hope there is some truth to that old saying so that we’ll get a break.
It was around 11 years ago that I met the first guy I would fall in love with.
He was wearing a tuxedo and was as skinny as a rail.
Oh yeah, and he was a cat.
Domino came into my life on a whim. I went to pick out a cat for my cousin and ended up falling in love. I found my cousin another cat and brought Domino home with me. I was 20 years old, just about to be 21.

We’ve found that our more mature friends are calmer, laid back and generally very sweet wonderful companions. Most, through no fault of their own (family breakup or death, moving, etc.) find themselves in the Shelter system. They often have plenty of energy, love to go walks (although maybe not real long ones!), and get along with everybody and everything.
On a hot, sultry Sunday morning Peachtree folks gathered for worship. Pastor Whitehouse’s sermon was titled, “Small is Big with God.” It was based on scripture found in Matthew 13: 31-35 which tells the parable of the mustard seed and the leavening that goes into bread. The kingdom comes into a life in a small way, but does not end there. Little is much when God is involved.
Robert Tyner welcomed everyone to Sunday school. We had 85 in attendance. Barbara Morgan was pianist for Sunday school. Robert prayed the closing prayer.
Our choir sang “God Can Do Anything But Fail.”
We want to thank each of you who attended our monthly fish fry on Friday night. Even though we had a storm with some rain (which we needed) during the supper, we still had a great turnout! We really enjoyed the fellowship and the continued support. Without you it would not be successful. I pray everyone has stayed safe during the severe heat we are having. Please use caution and great sensible decisions when going outside.
Congratulations to Tyler and Sunny Petty in the birth of their daughter, Brooklyn Davis Petty, born on June 25! Grandparents are Butch and Phyllis Petty and great-grandmother, Aileen Davis.
