Scenes from November, 2001.
Several weeks ago I came across a folder of pictures taken back in November, 2001. That was the first November that Betsy and I were together. It was also the first November that Betsy had been in Tennessee after several years in Louisiana and Texas, so she was still going ‘ga-ga’ over every bit of autumn color of she saw.
The highlight of the month was a trip we made to Saint Augustine, Florida, to see Betsy’s brother, Ray, and his wife Evelyn. We went out for Thanksgiving dinner and were joined by Betsy’s son, Bert, and her grandson, Chris.
Ray and Evelyn gave us a tour of Saint Augustine while we were down there. We visited the lighthouse as well as Ray and Evelyn’s church. While at the the church Betsy practiced her preaching style from the pulpit. It’s too bad there were only three of us in the congregation!

My sweet bride is ‘kidnapping’ me for a few days to celebrate my birthday. She hasn’t told me where we are going, but I suspect our trip might involve some waterfalls. I don’t know how often we’ll have internet connections, but I’ll try to visit with my iPod whenever I can.

The older we get the more precious those old photos get (if for no other reason they jog our memories to all the things we forget now!) I understand that I’m a day late with my wishes, but Happy Birthday and many more to come! I was just thinking the other day “You know you’re getting old when you add the Social Security site to your ‘favorites’ list! LOL! Mike and I are about to do that with our birthdays this year.
