September features and other things

Last weekend was a good time. My brother Tommy, his wife Pat, and my half-sister Lois were down from Michigan. Tommy was here for his high school reunion. They stayed at Middy’s. I was down there most of Friday and Sunday afternoon. We don’t see them often. Tommy brought us a bunch of apples. On Sunday, I guided them to the cemetery where our mother is buried. Her parents are also buried there, and her brother and two of her sisters. Lois’s father and his parents and one uncle are also buried there, as well as two of her full siblings – Lucille, who died as a toddler, and LeRoy who died just a few years ago.

For those of you interested in the story of baby Svana, she is now home, and almost up to normal for a child her age. She still has some problems with feeding – she has to have supplements via artificial means because she is not yet able to eat enough to sustain her.

And now, for the monthly “features”:
Birthdays:
September 4, my great-niece Kathryn
September 26, my grandson Christopher
September 27, my sister-in-law Pat

I hope to keep building up my list of family birthdays; there is still a large number of them that I don’t have any birthday info on, and some that I do not have all. I’m not making a practice of posting the birth year, but I do want to get all that information in my own records. I have just recently added several more, which will show up when their “month” comes up.

And now the “Magnacalendar” for September:

Blogger's note - once again, I have to edit my blog to correct the relationship of one of my grandchildren.
