Hello Everyone!
Can you believe another month has slipped away. The ole saying is, time flies when you are having fun. October was a very busy month with lots of things going on. Now that this year's fair is history, we'll concentrate on November. Those of you who went to the fair probably have tired feet and bones. Saturday afternoon and a little while Sunday afternoon was enough for me. After all that walking I was whipped.
By the way, when you read my news this week I'll be having a great time in Branson, MO. I'm on a chartered bus trip with Franklinton First Baptist Church Senior Adults Ministry. We have already seen some fabulous shows and more to see before leaving on Friday. I'll have lots to share with you about my fun week.
I'm looking forward to our Thomas School 100th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, November 7th at the school. We will enjoy a catered meal, tour of the school, slide presentation and lots of chit-chat. Engraved bricks were purchased and placed around the flagpole. It will be great visiting with my classmates and others who will be there.
We had a wonderful Ingram family reunion on Sunday, October 4th at Bayou Place in Franklinton on Greenlaw Ave. It was great to see everyone. Fifty plus enjoyed a time of good food, fun and fellowship. My girls Jennifer and Anna had everything decorated nice.
Door prizes were won by Bryan Alford and Louis Tate. Guessing how many M & M's were in a jar was won by Eric Ingram. The oldest family member attending was Alvin Ingram. The youngest attending was one of the great grand babies. We all join together to thank Mr. James Tate and Ms. Jackie Tate that helped to make our day a blessed one.
Happy November birthday to these special ones: My great grandson Dylan Fitzmorris, my friend Evelyn Burch, my cousin Faith Terrell, Colton Terrell, Justin Ingram, Becky Magee, Faith Miller, Lainey Scardina, Brittany Burch Lebo, Crystal Watson O'Bryant, Larry James, Rocky Burch, Randall Penton, Trevor Stafford, Chris Hill, Douglas Miller, Lori Motichek, Heather Rae Singley, Debra Freeman, Dixie Borne, Emma Rimes, Dot Kinlaw, Kacey Fareas, Jamie Mier, T.J. White, Immauel Miller, Jacob Singley, Josh Hughes and my great granddaughter Cayleigh Layne Alford.
Christian sympathy is sent out to the dear family of Ernestine Penton Jones Lawson (Age 89) who passed on October 10th and to the family of Lisa Anne King. Losing a loved one is always hard, but with the help of the Good Lord, one can get through it.
Pray for the sick, the bereaved, our community, our state and world. There are so many things happening around us...
Thought for the Week!
For with God nothing shall be impossible. - Luke 1:37
I look forward to visiting with you next time. Take care of yourself and your family. Give someone a hug. Keep on "Smiling" - Prayerfully, Nell.
