Mother in entrance of her current residence. This is a senior independent/assisted living community. In the background you can see a man and woman sitting. These are my in-laws who happened to be in the lobby on one of our move-in days! A photo op moment!

AUGUST
 | | Isabelle, 1st day of school |
 | | Joseph, 1st day of school. His Mom was calling "hurry!", so this is the best pix I took. |
SEPTEMBER
 | | Mother, Becky, me in entrance hall of our old homeplace. |
 | | new dining shed at M'ville |
 | | My Mother and mother-in-law at Demorest |
 | | B and H Trotter, some old friends of ours. Bob is the person who taught us how to keep bees. |
 | | Ken's birthday. I was missing a key ingredient for his birthday pie, so the beloved coconut macaroons were the fallback! |
 | | Ken finally got his pie. His candles are a clue to his age. He must have robbed the cradle when he married! :-) |
 | | Isabelle and Joseph on the spider jump at the fall festival |
 | | festival food...fried green tomatoes! |
 | | Mother's 93'd birthday. |
 | | I made her a birthday pie also. She wanted a picture of it here with her roses, and Daddy's picture. |
 | | After Bible study at her place we enjoyed some birthday pie |
OCTOBER
 | | Isabelle in the park |
 | | Joseph in the park |
 | | Ken |
 | | and Susan |
 | | took off together |
 | | and went to the beautiful... |
 | | Gulf coast! |
 | | The first time I've seen an octopus on the beach. It was right beside us! A lady saw an old bike basket rolling up on the beach, and then it started moving around without the waves hitting it. When she picked it up the octopus tried to get out!! Her g'daug was there with a net, so they captured it for awhile. |
 | | On our way home we stopped at a very popular restaurant...we've been there many times. This sign was on the door. They told us that the current governor of their state is up for re-election and he had come in to meet & greet during their busiest time of day, thus totally tied up the floor. Hence the sign! Now customers are met with 3 "thou shalt nots" on the door..cute! |
 | | Darlene and I went to see our dear old friend Garland. At 96 1/2 he is failing, but still so full of life1 |
 | | Mr Castleberry |
 | | I took a picture of one page in Garlands scrapebook. This shows his and Mae's H.S. senior picture. He dearly loved her. She's been gone for almost 3 years |
 | | Garland again. It's just too good of a piccture to not include |
 | | and again |
