Garden Tip: Here is a soil recipe for rose bushes that I found: use 7 parts garden loam, 2 parts peat moss (be sure to wet the moss), 1 part alfalfa meal or hay, 1 part cotton seed meal, 1 part cow manure, 1 box of bone meal and 1 part sphagnum moss. Mix together and place in your rose bush hole. You can also use it around an established rose bush.

• The annual Cruce family reunion will be held July 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Warrior Community Center. All Cruce family descendants are encouraged to attend. Bring food to share and any family pictures you have. For more information, call Janice Wisener at 647-1572.

• Happy birthday to: Krishna Barber on July 19; Justin Reynolds on July 20; Tina Green Clements on July 22; and Cydney Lyn Smith on July 25. I hope all of you have a great year.

• Sympathy and prayers are needed for the family of Jerry Chappell. May God bless each and everyone of this great family as they deal with loss.

• Our country and troops need prayers. We give honor to all that have served before and all of the fallen soldiers and their families. May God bless America.
