COUSINS TILL THE END

My cousins and I met for lunch on Saturday at the Cracker Barrell in Cartersville, GA. We had a great time. We are so blessed with our family. Cousins are best friends for life. They are always there for you when you need them, in the good times as well as the bad. Took plenty of pictures.

The whole gang starting from left to right-Diane Cambron Rood, Rhonda Beall Hawkins, Paula Whitehead Fuller, Brenda Jones Redd, Ovaline Greeson Dinning, Joann Greeson Bragg Ellis, Charlene Jones Odom, and our only surviving sibling of the Jones Clan-Aunt Doris Jones Sheppard.

We were all deep in thought, Diane, Rhonda and Paula. We were the 3 musketeers growing up. Usually when you saw one of us, you saw us all until we got in high school. Then Diane was at West Rome and Paula and I were at East Rome.

Aunt Doris with Joann and Ovaline. Doris is 80 years old and we are so blessed to have her still with us.

Paula and Diane on the bench in front of Cracker Barrell. Two very lovely young ladies.

Paula and Brenda can't make up their mind. For a while, I thought we wouldn't get a picture of Brenda. She was always behind the camera.

Charlene, Joann and Ovaline. At first, we couldn't get a round table and we were hollowing back and forth but we grabbed one as the people left before it was even cleaned. We had a great time and hope to do it again soon.

We could alway count on Ovaline to carry the conversation. No wonder she wanted a round table, she has to be looking at you to make sure you hear what she is saying. Bless her heart. I love  her.

There were eleven granddaughters in all but we lost one in May-Helen Morris Paige. And 3 couldn't be with us. Ms. Kathy Mabry, Jean Cochran and Linda Russell. Jean is on dialysis now so please pray for her and her family  at this time. Until next time. Rhonda
