Holiday for my birthday???

On October 8,1936 at 08:30AM at Kings daughters Hospital in Temple,Tx, a man child was born to Vivian Helms Morris and William Burnet Morris. They named him J.Helms Morris. He is now starting his 72nd year.

After graduating from Temple High School in 1955,he went one semester to Howard Payne College in Brownwood,Tx. Then attended Temple Jr college while working for the 7-11 stores.

A marrriage took place on November 2,1957 at the 7th Street Methodist church. J.Helms Morris married Carolyn Lynn Johnson. For a honeymoon the couple took off for Robstown,Tx where J.Helms and Carolyn both went to work for General telephone Company of the Southwest. J.Helms as a draftsman and Carolyn as a clerk.

While in Robstown from 1957-1962J.Todd Morris was born in 1959. Moving to League City in 1962,where Terry Neil Morris and Tami MarilynMorris was born in 1965.Many other events took place in the next 45 years and will be reviewed at a later time.

Let me leave you with some words of wisdom from Proverbs----"Lazy hands make a man poor, but dillgent hands bring wealth".

As for as the title of this little ditty--- The banks and post office took a holiday Monday to celebrate my birthday(well actually it was Columbus day).

That's all for now.

Missive for today.

The word of the day is MISSIVE- Meaning a written message,a letter.

Since my last missive was dated Sept.21 I think is time to pause and compose another.

My sept was busy,I did close a good real estate deal and I performed 6 weddings.

Right now I am at the real estate office and it is very slow as for as activity goes. I just read the latest blog from Joel's Journey. Makes me sad that I can not be with my coyle folks more often. We enjoy the pictures and keeping up with the doings on the farm.

Since carolyn is in her last month at United Space Alliance, I am researching all the Medicare possibilities. It is very confusing.

I talked with Hyden a few nights ago, he is still in the immigration prison waiting to be deported. Please pray for him and Detti and the two girls. It is a deplorible situation. He wants me to get a power of attorney done for Detti to give Carolyn and myself the power to dispose of his asstes.

Well it won;t be long till I have another birthday, my mother used to tell me that the older you get the faster the years go by. I didn't believe it then but I do now.

Today the 3rd, I went to the Indian reastaurant to have Indian food. I don't really enjoy eating any more with my teeth the way they are.It taakes me about 4 times as long to eat as other people. I think I'll just do milkshakes all the time.

Carolyn and I will really have to get on a tight budget beginning in November,since our income will be reduced quite a bit. No more airline tickets,we will be driving to see people. I think I might like seeing the country that way rather than 30000 feet in the air. Must go,putting pictures from the past for your enjoyment.

Over and out! J.Morris
