GRATEFULNESS!!!!!

This has been a busy month. Our daughter and family came in on the 8th to help get ready for the big 50th anniversary party on the 10th.
Our foster daughter Sheryl and her daughter came in on the 9th and some of Carolyn's bridesmaids came in as did my brother Neil. We were also blessed with Terry and family arriving in the evening of the 9th.

The big party was on the 10th and we had a great time with many old friends in attendance.I believe we had around 130 folks to help us celebrate. Todd and Jerry worked up a great slideshow that all enjoyed.
then Caleb,Daniel,Bethany and Elijah blessed us with some wonderful music.
Jeff and Brittany were so gracious to have a photograher come to take pictures. We are so thankful that this was a time that we had the whole family together for a picture. when I get the disc I will put some on the blog.
After the party we retired to our house for pizza and blue bell ice cream.A good time was had by all.
On the 11th I took Tami's family and Sheryl to the airport for the return home.

The next week was spent getting ready for the next big event-Thanksgiving- On the 19th Tami and family came back to help with all the thanksgiving prep. Thursday was the big day.Inlaws and outlaws totaled 30 for dinner on the 22nd. I smoked a turkey and Carolyn cooked one inside and she and Tami prepared all the fixing.
As we offered our thanksgiving prayer,some of the things people were thankful for were: our families,our country,those who weren't there including Ruby(Nane),Vivian(Mimi),and of course Joel,along with terry's whole family.Were were of course grateful for God's love and the gift of eternal life thru Christ.
Tami and family left to go back on the 24th.

Since I am at the real estate office and it is 5:17 I must call a halt to this epistle. Will add more and maybe some pic's in the next few days.
WE ARE BLESSED,
J.Morris

It's Golden!!!!

November 2,2007 was our 50th weddding anniversary. Plans have been finalized for our big party to celebrate on Saturday the 10th of November at Under The Oaks Wedding chapel in League City. We expect about a 100 folks to be there. Sheryl is flying in from Los Angelos and all the family should be there. A fun time is going to be had by all I'm sure.

I will now pick up where I left off last time we met: In 1966 we moved to Baytown where I assumed duties as Construction foreman in charge of building a cable TV system for General Telephone Co. We were there until 1969 when we moved to Weslaco and I assumed duties as Weslaco District Manager. We enjoyed our time in the Rio Grande Valley, as we made many trips across the border to shop and eat.
Then in 1971 I became the Dickinson Division Manager and we moved to League city. I think I will stop the history for now and continue at a later time.

Back in 2007, now Carolyn retired from United Space Agency on October 31. I am going to have to work smarter and harder to maike up for her reduced income. Right now I am writing this blog from the real estate office.


Let me end with this from Proverbs as I consider our big 50th: A virtuos woman is a crown to her husband: Carolyn has certainly been that to me these 50 years.

See you later,
