DOGWOOD ACRES, 09/21/09

Hello friends. The Bilyeu Reunion was well attended on Saturday. It just does not last long enough and I left thinking of all the people I did not have time to set and visit with. The youngest was the pretty little granddaughter of Ricky Dean Bilyeu. The oldest was Aunt Bonnie Gimlin Bilyeu. (PICTURE IS Aunt Bonnie Bilyeu, Bobby Joe Bilyeu & Mary Lee Bilyeu Brown)

I was surprised to win because my whole family was there, husband, all my kids and grandkids. I will admit it was easier for my whole family to be there than some with larger families, but was proud to have them by my side.

As reunions go on, Sara Shannon asked me to announce the Cook reunion which will be held on Saturday, 9/26 at the Taney Center from 11:00 to 2:00.

The Lone Star Homecoming is just around the corner as we are almost to October. It will be on the 2nd Sunday, October 11.

When we got home on Saturday evening, the girls were anxious to play a new game they had gotten for the WII and Rick was ready for a nap. Before I sat still long enough to take a nap, I went to visit Christie and her family. It was a rather quite evening at their house with only Bill, Christie and Sean there. They were having dinner on the screened-in porch, so I pulled up a chair and ate a few bites of lasagna while catching up on the events of their week.

Rick went to pick up our granddaughters at Plainview School Friday and stopped at Granny & Papa Hodges on the way home. The girls talked him into adopting one of the new kittens so our world continues to stay exciting. Little Fox thinks she is a new toy to play with, but Tiger, one of our big cats has adopted the baby, protecting her or it, we do not know which, from the energetic little dog.

No doubt, I am forgetting news or just do not have enough concentration to remember what else happened, so will say Bye for now.
