Thoughts While ShavingWonder what our maker thinks about the world he created?

Today, I have the best view anyone could have, OK, a little prejudice, but a sunrise at White Lake is absolutely beautiful. Sun rising, still water, grey moss hanging from old trees that overlook the landscape, no wind, nothing like it.

Over the past couple of weeks we enjoyed the Water Festival & Memorial Day, and this weekend, one more celebration. Today, the Hester family celebrates the birth of a special lady, our mother, Myrtle C. Hester. She would be 100 or 101 (?) tomorrow, six children, all living and lots of grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

Mom died several years ago. We mark the occasion by enjoying time together on the Saturday nearest to her June 4 birthday.

Today, 40 to 50 relatives, hopefully including all 6 children will spent some time sharing a meal, some in the water, some rocking on the porch, all enjoying food and sweet tea.

Not bad for 6 children ranging in age from early 60s to upper 70s. Happy Birthday MOM.

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my mother.
