The Tira City Council will meet on Tuesday, September 6th, at 6:00 p.m. at the Community Center. Following a brief business meeting, Floyd Payton, former Tira Mayor, will be honored with a reception. Floyd resigned just before the last quarterly meeting, due to health issues. Please make plans to stop by and have some cake and punch and express your appreciation to Floyd for his dedicated service to the community.

I took our grandson, Morgan Joslin, to Ruston, Louisiana on Wednesday, to get him all set for college at Louisiana Tech, where he will be pursuing a degree in Aviation. His classes begin on September 8th. His mom, Tiffany, had planned to go with us, but she stayed home, with Jaidyn, who was not feeling well.
Chip and I did a little shopping in Greenville on Saturday afternoon, and then enjoyed a delicious seafood meal at Red Lobster. On Sunday, Grace and Linda Ellen Vaughn came for a visit and had lunch with us.
