It’s November family!
I pray that you are all doing well and staying safe. It’s election day and I pray that we have the right outcome and that we can all come together as a nation and begin to heal. No matter what they outcome, please be careful out there over the next few weeks and pray that there is no civil unrest. And as always, wear your masks and social distance to avoid this plague. Thanksgiving will be very different for us this year.
This month’s birthday spotlight is for Aunt Willie Mae, who would have been 104 years old this month! I loved going to her house when we went to Augusta. When we would get there I would go sit with Uncle Willie and we would compare “cracking” knuckles and Aunt Willie Mae would always have something sweet for my dad. I would play in the back yard, crunching on the pecans from the tree and eat as many as I could (LOL). I told Jennifer and Charmaygne that it wasn’t until a few years ago that I could eat pecans again. In addition to the ones that I ate while I was there, she would send my parents a box of them from time to time. Great memories!
Family Get Together
It’s time for us to get together again virtually! I asked for feedback about when to have the next call but I only received one response, for Friday evening at 7pm. I realized the other day that it would be 4 pm on the West Coast and we would probably lose most of them. So for right now, let’s leave it at 4 pm on Sundays and we will see who pops in to say hi. Let’s make our next family get together next Sunday, November 15th at 4pm! I will send another invite with Zoom connection info as a reminder.
November Birthdays and Anniversaries
I think that I have most of the birthdays for the family but if I have missed a birthday, please send me a note. The same goes for anniversaries, please send them to me and I will include them in the announcements. Let’s begin to celebrate the birthdays and anniversaries this month. No milestone birthdays for the month and there are no anniversaries that I have. Happy Birthday to all!
