Greetings, there's been some beautiful cold nights, mornings and wonderful evenings this week. I'm loving these beautiful days in the neighborhood.
This week I'm greeting you in the Spirit of Recognition
Don't Work for Recognition but Do Work Worthy of Recognition. -- H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition. - Abraham Lincoln
Scripture for Thought:
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
-----Proverbs 3:27 (KJV)
Song Recommendation:
'It's Your Time' - Luther Barnes
Take A Moment To Thank A Veteran. Thanks for what you’re doing to keep us safe!
Thanks For All You DO and Have Done. We Appreciate You.
Showered With Love
A Ladybug Baby Shower was given to Rayfus Burris and Regine in Franklinton at the Annex Center. Much love and support was shown to the young couple. They were showered with gifts and well wishes. The guests played games, filled up on Gumbo and left with plenty treats. A special thanks to everyone for showing their support and love. Shoutout to Ms. Kemia's Sweets, Vertis Wilson, SeKenya Fleet and everyone else who had a role in making the celebration special. Thanks to everyone! RayJ and Regine are patiently waiting to meet Railey O'nai Burris, her forever birthday will be November 23, 2021. This is their first baby and my first ‘Grand’ baby.
‘I Live in Vernon Community Too’
This Week's Community Spotlight Resident is James Burris, Sr. and he’s lived in the community for decades. He attended and graduated from Mt. Hermon School. James is an all around person and knows how to do plenty side jobs. If anyone in the neighborhood needs help he's the person to call. He loves people and is always helping someone. Thumbs up to James for being Vernon Proud.
Shared Ideas and Thoughts
When measuring sticky foods, spray the measuring cups with cooking spray. The food will come out easily.
When using garlic coat your hands with lemon juice and there should be no smell on your hands when finished.
