Family Christmas Party
December 6
Alexis Baptist Church Family Life Center
1:00

Bring a covered dish. Email or call Dori or Delora and let them know what you are bringing.

From the past -
This is a photo of Gerald teaching Phyllis how to dance. The date on the photo is July 1958.


Judy and Phyllis remember Gerald talking on the phone to Wanda by pulling it into the living room and closing the door. So they would stand outside by the window to listen to the conversation. Once Gerald caught them and called them "Childish". This was funny to Phyllis and Judy since Wanda was their age!

Family News:

Judy sends a Happy Birthday to Roger on Oct. 17th and Karen on Oct. 27th.

She also wants everyone to know that St. Luke's Lutheran Church will have their Fall Craft Bazaar on Saturday, November 7th at 8:00-2:00. Besides handmade crafts they will be selling soup and sandwich. The craft Bazaar will be held in the new family life center.

Bill and I are officially in our new home. We have grass (and mud) and an out building to go with it. It is nice not to have to go down stairs to wash, iron or get things out of the freezer. When we were young it was no problem but age does things to you. We don't even have leaves to rake.
A lot of people from Macedonia came and helped us move. Michael Lippard brought a box truck. They made one load and that was it, but I am not getting it unpacked as fast. Biggest problem is 41 of years of stuff just does not fit in this smaller house, so come to the yard sale. Thanks to family members who helped and thanks in advance to those who will help hang pictures and get some pieces of furniture, a few accessories,and window treatments we need.

God has been good to us and worked out things for us. All that is left is to sale our other house. Pass the word if you know of any one in the market for a house.

It is beautiful here at this time of year. We can look out and see Bill Richard's horses in the pasture and the leaves turn. We can see Little Mountain. I feel like I've come home. Enough of that!

Bill is still having a lot of back pain and we are going to Hickory twice a week for therapy.

COME TO SEE US!
Our new address is 3940 Goodson Road, Maiden, N. C. 28650 and Phone 828 428 9739.
