October Book Events Scheduled

Our first of three book events in October will be held in Lake Providence, La, at the Louisiana State Cotton Museum on Friday, Oct. 2nd from 10:00 until Noon. Mama and I will be interviewed live on KWCL Radio out of Oak Grove, La, that morning at 8:05.

That same day we will have another book review/signing at the East Carroll Parish Public Library in Lake Providence from 2:00-3:30 pm. We hope to have some local school children attend one or both of these events in Lake Providence.

Then on Saturday, Oct. 10, we will again be at the Schepis Museum, Columbia, La., from 10:00 - 3 pm during the local Arts Festival. We had a lovely time last year at this event on Main St. there in Columbia where we met some old friends and made some new friends.

DJ is now 2 weeks old

Our little DJ is now two weeks old and doing fine. She is not sleeping all night yet, but is sleeping longer periods of time between feedings. Daddy is still home on family leave, but will be going back to work in 10 days. Mama is feeling fine and has recovered from surgery very well. Sister Suzanne is being home-schooled by Daddy at this point and helps some with the baby and home chores. DJ is a little wiggle worm when I hold her and she grunts sometimes in her sleep. She is a real cutie and we all adore her. See picture to the right of Grandma and Grandpa with our newest granddaughter.

New granddaughter born Aug. 28, 2009

We have welcomed a new beautiful baby to the family, Destiny Jubilee Kitchens, who was born to Carl and Debora on Friday, Aug. 28th. Destiny will be called DJ by the family, and even though she is still in hospital at this writing, we hope to have her home soon. She was born by C-secion and had pneumonia at birth. The El Dorado Hospital is taking good care of her at this time. I am posting several pictures of her and her sister, Suzanne.

We pray blessings for them as a family and look forward to getting to hold DJ and spending lots of time with her as soon as possible. DJ is so beautiful and her grandfather and I wish nothing but the best for her future. See you home soon DJ.
