I started celebrating my 70th birthday last Monday with Mamma and Lee taking me and Delmar to the Golden Corral in Springfield for lunch, then Mamma, Lee and I made a trip to Windsor, MO. to visit my Uncle Hugh and Aunt Violet Morris. On Wednesday, Delmar and I drove to Forsyth and visited with Betty DeChenne, then on Thursday, I met Mary Mackey, Nora Edwards, Maxine Lund, Joyce Erickson, Arleen Henningson and Hazel Jackson, at Ruby Garden for lunch and a fun birthday game, provided by Nora Edwards. On Friday, Delmar and I drove to Ozark and had lunch at Burger King. On Saturday I attended a birthday party for me at the home of my daughter, Bevy Moore. She was assisted with the preparations for the party by my other daughters, Donna Bannister and Becky Carter. It was a lot of fun and I was surprised by my cousin, David Clarke and his wife Carla, who drove down from Witchita, Kansas.
On Sunday, We had lunch in the home of Jack, Barb and Miracle Breshears.
I am so thankful for God seeing fit for me to live this long and still be healthy. I am also thankful for a wonderful family, friends and church family. I love you all.
Until next week remember that even though, “Troublesome Waters” come your way, God is there all the time.
