Life never ceases to amaze me... Today, I was thinking that perhaps we would not have many folks show up because of the weird weather and the predictions of bad weather!
Boy, was I wrong!
We had a big turnout! Jack Sitgreaves came by since he was in Kingsport on business; Anne Morrison Garber and David Plott was there after being absent for a long time... David said that he has had a really bad case of the flu, and now his wife Becky has it too. We'll pray for you, Becky!!
We also had a visit from JanRose's youngest sister, Wanda.
Here are our attendees around the table: Jan Rose Dotson Hall and husband Harry, sister Wanda Adams, Judy Neff Stapleton, Wallace Grills, Jack Sitgreaves, Sondra Dotson Bridwell, Janice Jordan Duncan, Anne Morrison Garber, Linda Lamberth Robinson, Diana Woodard Agett, Dick Odum and wife Norma Odum, Sharon Tittsworth Johnson, Kathy Morse Parham, David Plott, Vivian Eversole Brown, Marlene Snyder McConnell, Doris Cox, Patty Bray Faris, Cris Moorehouse and wife Theona, Jane Beck Harris... Honestly I felt like there were more than that, but I think I got everybody!!
And today, we had a new waitress, Belle. Our special girl has moved on to O'Charley's in Bristol at exit 7... someday we will go up to see her! Belle did a great job, a bit slower than Laura, but look at all the people she had to serve... and as I was leaving, she introduced herself to me as a former neighbor of ours out in Holiday Hills outside the city limits! "Do you remember me? I lived on the hill next to the Jones'? Belinda... " After she said her name and where she lived, I saw her face
anew... connecting to those earlier days.
Very very nice day.
God bless us everyone.
