Later . . . back at the hanger -- the Dodd family poses
for a family shot after a big steak dinner at Traceway.

February 4, 2000 We
headed over to Maben, Mississippi to stay with Aunt Joy for the weekend. We shared
wonderful family times with the cousins and their families. Friday night, we
all went over to the community hall to listen to "real" country music.
Tommy enjoyed playing steel while Doug sang some of our favorite tunes and played bass. We
wiped out Springer dry Good's stock of jeans and belts (wanted to make sure Joy met her
sales quota for the year).Got to witness some of the newly discovered family talent --
Leah (Carol's daughter) demonstrated her floor routine for an upcoming show. Patsy's new
addition has a talent too (dog in her lap on left). He cleverly announces his outdoor
"needs" by ringing the door bell. Clayton was going to show us how to ride
his new 4-wheeler like a Dodd man should, but it was getting dark, so we had to just take
his word for it. Aunt Joy, the hostess with the most-est, spoiled us with her great
cooking. Even gave us some of her home grown/canned okra and tomatoes to take back.
We left Sunday morning with a tummy full of Joy's biscuits & eggs, a smile on our
face, and of course a few tears -- most grateful that we are blessed with a wonderful
family. |
