The main reason I was in North Carolina was Mom's 80th birthday and we had a "small" get-together for her at the Goldsboro First Baptist Church's Fellowship Hall September 4th where we had about 200 friends and family members in attendance.
We originally figured on having it at Wilber's in the side room and then the Hatch House out at Waynesborough which she was instrumental in opening. But the numbers of people wouldn't fit in it.
We had it catered by Wilber's BBQ and had three cakes, one for each phase of her life: a blue one for her childhood, white one for teaching, and brown one for her family, her grandkids call her "Mud."
She is very involved with her church, the First Baptist and is a member of many organizations including the Woman's Club, Garden Club, Bridge Club, Salvation Army Auxiliary, Wayne County History Association, Daughters of the American Revolution and Waynesborough Historical Commission.
We played music from World War II all evening and each of us kids gave short talks as did many of her friends.
Quite a Woman.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
