Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

A brand-new day, full week ahead, Birthdays most every day! Each one of you, we hope the best for Happy Jolly Day.

Most are our friends, and aunties, three! Some cousins mixed in too. All are good cooks, desserts they loved, Aunt "K" made the best stew!

Two Aunties left in the '60s, some cousins flew off too. But we're still here, God has a plan, we still have work to do. Some twins were born, though miles away - their favorite fruit, a peach! And several guys also showed up, and once these two did preach!

It's still autumn, not all is done - it's great to see blue sky. But cold weather! It do...
