THURSDAY....SEPT.23,2010 BEGINNING OF FALL??? SURELY DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT!
But it is that season according to the calendar now, however in Union, SC it is still in the 90's and hot! Hopefully soon it will be more like the fall I like:)
This has been a really fast week for me. After returning from my Uncle's Memorial in NC Sunday night, my Sister stayed with us since it was so late and left for Atlanta on Monday morning. We stopped in Lexington, NC to pick up some of their "famous lexington style barbeque". I love Union County SC barbeque, however Lexington, NC has been a favorite of mine since I was a child. My Mother grew up in Lexington. So we always picked up some there when visiting and took it back home with us. Don took some of it to his mother at Oakmont and he said she liked it. They have a particular type "barbeque slaw" that you can't get anywhere else and I do like that! Bye the way, she is progressing nicely in her rehab and feeling good.
The Memorial for my Uncle was special for me. They were of the Quaker Faith and the service
was different than any I have ever been to before, but very good. My Aunt (age 91) of course was there. And though she has a touch of memory loss, I think she knew we were all there!
Lots of things going on in the "news" these days...particularly with politics! I watch and pray.
AND I WILL VOTE IN NOVEMBER! WE ALL MUST!
The Following is a quote from ABRAHAM LINCOLN:
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for
themselves.
VERY INTERESTING...................
excellent quote! How true!
ReplyDeleteWould that our leaders "hear" this over and over.
Lexington BBQ! Our favorite! We go every chance we get. Been going for years and Mike finally got a tee shirt from there!
