| At the old IGA on Hwy 431 in Headland, Alabama |
Last Wednesday Kade and I picked up a cargo van we were renting for a quick (but long) run to Headland (AL). First, we walked with the Enterprise rental guy completely around the vehicle, inspecting it inside and out before signing the paperwork, paying our $65 per day fee and driving away. We then took the van back home and loaded up our huge plastic storage containers and packing supplies, plus our overnight bag and other essentials. Since we very seldom like to drive the full 6 1/2 - 7 hours, we stayed overnight in Phenix City (AL). On Thursday, we spent hours packing up my share of "small things" I inherited from Mother. Finally, the van was packed and we were ready for a quick exit out of Headland. Before leaving, though, we stopped by my sister's to pick up something. Just as we were about to say our goodbyes, my sister, who was standing near the back of the van with us, said, with a look of surprise on her face, "Look at the license plate!" What are the chances, on the day we went to Headland to pack up some of Mother's things, the license plate letters spelled her middle name?!?!? A very rare middle name at that. I'm thinking she was there with us!!!

We have all enjoyed going through family pictures. This is one of Mother's school pictures, and one of my favorites. Not sure the year it was made. Late 80s or early 90s, I would guess. She taught for twenty-five years in the Henry County School System.
Today - September 23 - is Mother's birthday. She remains with us in our hearts. |
