Thought you would all want to know that Millie Clawson is not well...she fell and hit her head...has some other symptoms and now pneumonia. I'm having some resurging of emotions. Her daughter Becky, my classmate and friend, called Tuesday to visit because we hadn't connected since Mom's passing. She said Millie had a wonderful birthday the week of March 12, and joyfully said that it's OK if that's the last birthday. Becky said she's tired...she lost her twin sister last winter...and then she lost her Nellie...she's ready to go. My last visit with Millie before the end, Millie hugged me and said she thought she got as much out of my visits there as Mom did. I called her my unofficial "Godmother". Please pray for the family, we understand what they are going through. Love you all, Aunt Bonty

On a humorous note about funerals...when Millie walked in to her twin sisters service they could hear people gasping because she was identical to the person lying in the casket!

Paula, Sounds like you're in for some fun! You might start practicing up to increase your stamina! Congratulatons. There's just nothing sweeter than a new baby. We have enjoyed our 3 Alabama grandchildren this week. We are flying to Dallas Saturday and then I'll fly home Sunday morning. It's definitely Spring here in Alabama. The trees are loaded with blossoms and the azalea bushes are just full of flowers. It is amazing what going South and a lot of rain can do. So glad to hear about Patriece's improvement. Keep us posted. Karen

John David Currey was born 18 March in Danville, Indiana. His mother is Dave's daughter Rachel. See my post in "Comments" under Bonita's blog for more about this. Also, thanks to everyone for prayers for Patriece!!! She has had substantial relief from the intense pain. Although the pain is not completely gone, she is able to function and have much better days. A great answer to prayer!

Branson

Kevin & I will be going to Branson next weekend with my daughter, Devonne, and her husband, David. Looking forward to some outdoorsy stuff--hiking, etc., as well as shopping at the outlet mall.

Adventures for Spring Break

Our son, Keith, and his wife, Martha, are gone to Cuernavaca, Mx for a Mission trip with his youth group so Kelley and I are playing with their 3 children- Reese,5, Anna Wren,3, and Claire, 18 months. We are very BUSY, but we sure are having fun! It's been a long time since we had 3 little kids around the house. Anyone else have big plans? Karen

If you haven't met Kent Dunnington, Paula's son, here he is visiting Ma the first part of January.


This is Miranda & Monica Kitts...Monte's estranged daughters...our granddaughters. They visited Ma the first week in January and she gave them words of wisdom.



And these girls...in a far away place, a long, long time ago!
Some things never change, this is not one of them.

Bonita is becoming a pro!

Thanks for the pictures, Bonita. You have graduated from posting class.

I'm sad to hear Patriece is not feeling well. We will be in prayer. Keep us all
posted.

Love to all.....Janet

Cousins at Grandma Myrtle Burr's funeral Feb or March 1954. Daddy didn't think I was old enough to go. (Billy standing up high...Melba 3rd from left front. Richard behind Yevonne 3rd from right. Must have been cold and of course the wind was blowing...)

All Burr siblings after their Mother's funeral

Alvoree and his mother, Myrtle...in front of the house on the original homestead...it was added to several times. About a half mile east of the house where I was born. I know that I have a picture that shows more of the house somewhere.

Here's a picture of the house where Bonita was born many, many long years ago!!! ha ha

This was the house they left when they moved to Rocky Ford. Before this, Ma,Pa, Billy, Richard, and Velva lived in the dugout house which weathered the dust storms and which was behind where this white house is now. This is about a mile from the Banner Cemetery.

If anyone has a picture of the farmhouse where Pa grew up near here, I'd like to see it. I understand it's still standing and in good shape, but I didn't get to see it while there.

Love to all,

Paula
