The Sailors

There is little doubt why we have a sailor in our
family and would have had a marine but for an accident

Old Friends

Friends are indeed a rare piece of gold for which I am so grateful. I pray for you to be one and to have many. Happy Thanksgiving to all my family and friends. gp

Happy Birthday, Margie

Tomorrow will be my lovely sister, Margie's birthday.

I am happy to know that her son is home from Oxford,

England and she will get to celebrate her birthday and

also Thanksgiving with both her sons and families this

year. Have a wonderful day tomorrow, Margie and know

that I love you.

Daddy 1902 - - - - -1976

1902 - 1976

My wonderful Dad would have been 107 years old today

had he still been with us.

No one was ever loved more and no ever did more for

his fellowman than Dad.

He is pictured here with his "Miss Macon" whom he

loved and adored.

Bless my mind tonight Lord, as I have some exciting

thinking to do, and I know that all finite creativity springs

from the Infinite Creator.

Bless me and my sibblings tonight as we remember

Dad

ARMISTICE DAY

I for two reasons celebrate

The lovely great Armistice date.

We heard the news - A peaceful sign

Sixteenth birthday of that boy of mine.

Each year the glad Armistice Day

Comes first - then we lay the tray.

We think of all the boys that gave

Their lives - and did their country save.

And then we think of those that's here

Who also served without a fear

We fall right back then at our own

We must not leave our boy alone.

For on each grand Armistice Day

Our boy, he has a glad birthday

We raise our eyes to God in prayer

For Mothers of the war graves there.

And always think of what may come

An awful war may claim our own.

Ethel Mai George

The Poet Ethel Mai George was the mother of my

father. This poem was found amoung

hundreds she had written down during her

lifetime, leaving us amazed at her

talent.
