Visit With Eddie Mack and Joyce in March 2011

We try to visit with Eddie Mack and Joyce two to three times a year. Usually the visit is for one night. We don't want them to get tired of us and not let us come. Eddie Mack's health has greatly improved in the last few months. For this we are so grateful. He is getting up and out again. Joyce can start smiling now.

See, Joyce is smiling.

Jan and Joyce have a great relationship. As long as we keep them in line, they behave themselves.

Seeker's Class Party at the Hinson's

Grayson and Jan were invited so that there would be no age discrimination issues! We had 15 folks in attendance from the Seeker's class. Had a excellent meal. Everyone had a great time.

A Visit with Matthew and Aimee - March 5, 2011

We try to get with Aimee and Matthew about every two weeks. And we usually meet in Gaffney which is half way for both of us. Today we met in Gaffney at the Chic-Fil-A for lunch. Aimee's stomach is getting bigger and bigger each time we see her.Obviously that is what is suppose to happen if you happen to be pregnant. The baby will be a girl. Their name of choice at this time is Stellar Grayse. And it could change with time. Of course, I am partial to the second name. We had a good lunch and a great visit. They were going back to Rock Hill and go shopping for a baby bed. Of course Grandmother Jan gave them a check to pay for it. So everyone is excited and hoping for a healthy and happy little girl. God is good and God is great.

Ladies Night 2011

We had our Ladies Night at Second Presbyterian Church on Sunday February 20, 2011. We had about 80 folks in attendance. We had prime ribs, sweet potato souffle, and asparagus. Our entertainment was by the singing group from Spartan High called The Corporation. They were excellent. The pictures for the evening are on our Facebook site. Everyone seemed to have a good time.

The Goodman Christmas Gathering at Edisto 2010

What a great time we had this year. We celebrated our Christmas gathering on New Years Eve. All of Eddie Mack and Joyce's family were there except Macky and Belinda and kids. All of Gary and Brenda's family were there. Joe and Liz had to leave Mike, Holly and Logan at home since Mike had just got out of the hospital. We missed them all. And of course Jan and I with Matthew and Aimee made up the rest. All total there were 24 of us. Grayson and Jessica will be getting married on April 16 and Aimee and Matthew's baby is due August 2. So we know we have a good year ahead of us. We gathered again on New Years Day for collard greens and pork and hoppin John's at Eddie Mack and Joyce's cottage. The time flew by. We thank the good Lord for all of our blessings. Hopefully everyone will make it to the beach next year. Happy New Year to All!!!
