wainscot of stone was being installed around the
outside of the building. A few weeks ago, three

This week, I’m back to writing some MG
news after a two-week absence. It’s a busy time
of year and a lot has been going on in the com-
munity lately.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I
had one with my mother’s side of the family the
Sunday before Thanksgiving. There weren’t as
many there as usual but I think everyone had an
enjoyable time and we all left full of good food.
Sympathy goes out to the family of Bobby
McDonald. He will be missed by so many in
Hopkins County. I know that all of us in Miller
Grove appreciated the coverage he would give
our students and all of the activities that we had
at the school each year. Bobby was always there
with his camera, ready to snap a shot or two and
jotting down a quote from the locals before hav-
ing to run across the county to some other func-
tion.
Well folks, as the legendary Bill Monroe once
said, “Christmas Time’s A Coming” and it’ll be
here in about two weeks! I am not ready at all.
