Catching Y'all Up 2



Thursday we’re off to Childersburg to visit my mother’s sister, Aunt Elizabeth who’s 91 years young.  We had a great visit and some of her famous potato salad.  Returning to Birmingham, we visited my mother’s grave and I showed Peggy and Clayton where I spent many of my pre-teen years on Valleydale Road, in the house behind Bryan Memorial Presbyterian Church that was built sixty years ago for a young 35 year-old widow and her 4 youngsters.  That evening, Peggy had another bout with vertigo and nausea.




Friday was a good day, with a visit from Mary Ann and Donald and their 7 year-old grandson, Kevin.  Kevin and Clayton spent a lot of time in the pool where Kevin demonstrated his skill in jumping off the high board for his grandpa.    (See above)   We were treated to a BBQ lunch at the famous Top Hat BBQ Café in Blount Springs.  In the evening, Peggy’s sister Ann and her family treated us to supper at Cracker Barrel, We picked up a piece of strawberry pie and dropped it off to Aunt Pauline at the nursing home.  (She loves anything with strawberries!)
