WE ALWAYS LET MIKEY DO IT!

I love the sound of bells. The church bell reverberated throughout our little town with

urgency. It is energy, it is enthusiasm. it is noise! OH! I have just described ONE of my

favorite nephews. I have just described my nephew that, needless to say

loves me. Last September he took me, along with my sister, and his wife on a great

excursion of the old town of Charlotte, stacking us away at a National Historic Landmark,

Middleton Place just out of Charlotte. He and his wife saw to it that we saw all the lovely

landmarks, especially dolphins, and great food. Just last week he came to the Boro and

picked me up and took me to the Gaither Concert in Nashville. Just September, 2006

they took me along with them to historic Savannah. He always knows the right places

to eat, including Paula Deens. I am pictured here with my sister on that trip in 2007,

at the age of 80 and 81 Also pictured with her in a red

Wagon in 1929 at two and three. My phone rang today and when I answered, you won't

believe, my favorite baseball player Javy Lopez was on the phone. My nephew stood

in line waiting to dial me at just the right moment. I talked to Javy.

Anyone can put on a coat of paint to cover up the weathered passing of years, but

this one needs no paint. He is who he is, thank God for the Gift.
