Fall is in the Air! or is it just my imagination?

Good Morning to all! This is another day at the work I love to do!
I am finally feeling a little fall in the air! (or is it my imagination, wishing)
The beginning of Fall is as nice to feel as the beginning of Spring.
It seem though as a child the Season's changes were more suttle.
This past year it seems like we had LOTS of rain for the fall,
LOTS of FREEZING for the Winter and then HOT as duke for the summer.
But as I was saying the change of crispness in the air always gives me an energy.

Last night I spent the evening with Jordan (one of Anna's friends who is like family)
She was wanting me to help (do all of) her with a Military scrap book for her boyfriend.
We started at 7:30 and Finished about 11:30. It was a 20 page book and for the
speed that we did it in, it was actually a really nice book. I was proud of her(me).
Of course it was not the quality that I am use to scrapping, we (I) used a pre-made
package of Military papaer and stickers. (I usually do not use stickers ) She was so excited when she left my house, that the book that was meant for Mike's birthday next Tuesday was given to him last night! So all was good, Jordan was happy, Mike was happy, and I got to spend the evening with Jordan! I love spending time with my girlfriends! <3

Mark and Mrs. Haun (one of the past preachers wife)

Mrs. Abernathy

What an Amazingly Beautiful Sanctuary

Mrs. Ralph David Abernathy

West End Babptist Church Atlanta Georgia

This is the Church in Atlanta that Mark Grandmother was the Building Chairman and also her Construction Company Built. The green columns look just like Marble but are scagiola . Maude brought 3 men that were Italians, living in Washington, and flew them here and rented rooms for them to spend weeks building and finishing the columns. people today still think they are marble. Mark has the newspaper clippings telling all about the columns and the building of this beautiful church. At this reunion the black lady was Mrs. Ralph David Abernathy. When she spoke she talked about how her husband came to the church looking to buy it for his congregation, and when he brought Mrs. Abernathy to see it she said "a woman built this church" and Mr. Abernathy said " you are just womans rights, how can you tell a woman built this". And she said" I just can., It is beautiful". Then she said " And then I met the Builder and it WAS a woman". How cool it that. I know Mark was very proud at that moment even more than before. I even got chills of proudness! It was a great day! Love ya Nan
