WOW...WHAT A PARTY....ON NOV. 15,16, AND 17 th WE CELEBRATED THE 100 YEAR BIRTHDAY OF OUR ANTIQUE MALL BUILDING KNOWN AS THE W.A. FAWCETT BUILDING...WHAT A PRIVILAGE TO OWN A BUILDING THAT TURNED 100 YEARS OLD. WE HAD A GREAT TIME. WE HAD CAKE, PUNCH, LEMON-AID, COOKIES, AND COFFEE FOR 3 DAYS FOR ALL WHO CAME THROUGH THE DOOR. WE ALSO GAVE AWAY ABOUT 40 DOOR PRIZES AS WELL AS 5 GIFT CERTIFICATES VALUED AT $275.00. EVERYBODY HAD A BLAST !! WE EVEN HAD A REAL SANTA CLAUS SHOW UP!! WHAT A SURPRISE...IT WAS LOTS OF FUN, SORRY FOR ANYONE THAT MISSED OUT ON THIS WONDERFUL EVENT.

NOW, THAT WE ARE DEAD TIRED AND ALMOST BROKE, IT IS TIME TO GET OUT OF TOWN AND GO VISIT THE GRAND KIDS AND THE BIG KIDS TOO, IN KENTUCKY. WE ARE PLANNING TO LEAVE SOMETIME MONDAY AND ARRIVE BACK AROUND NOV. 30 th. OUR MOM'S WILL DO A WONDERFUL JOB HOLDING DOWN FORT S.A.M. WHILE WE ARE AWAY FOR SOME R & R. AS WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF DODGE (OR AT LEAST OUT OF TEXAS) SINCE LAST MARCH.
