August is a big birthday month for our family. We have a family that has 4 people celebrating birthday's this month. That's David's family, Herschel, Gabrielle, Detrique (he turn's 1) and Aunt Paulette. I hope he save some money for this month. | HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Walter and Andrea Williams celebrated their 13 wedding anniversary on August 2, 2010. Lane and Val Kersey will celebrate their 14 wedding anniversary on August 10, 2010. Neil and Wanda (Richardson) Jones will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on August 24, 2010. Congratulations to you all.
NEWSLETTER HELP PLEASE!! People tell me how much they like the newsletter and to keep it going but not too many people send me things to share. I'm not asking you to send me something every month but please send me something. I know that I will be sharing what Jordan is doing but I don't think that all you want to hear about. This year Jordan and Warren will start pre-k, Jaylin will be in the 2nd grade, Sydnee starts high school and Spencer will graduate from high school. So this year will be pretty interesting and exciting for us in Texas. So that gives me something to share, but I would like to hear from the rest of the family.

Richardson/Davis/Highgate Reunion –2010 -- Rick Spencer
We made our annual pilgrimage to the Cabin to attend the July 17th Richardson reunion. Frances and I were joined by Rob, Brenda, Keisha, Latende, Grant and Zaria. Frances and I arrived on Thusday and did the normal housekeeping/clean-up/fix-up (trimming hedges, trees, replacing worn out items). We hauled up a new futon frame from Virginia to replace the broken one. (By the way, Frances and I had fish for breakfast Friday morning!) The rest of the crew arrived on Friday and we relaxed and fished. We went to the reunion and the weather was great. Not too hot, not too cold — just right and of course, we saw our relatives. Particularly Aunt Arlene and Aunt Grace. They are amazing and vibrant women who love to talk with us and catch up on what has gone on in the past year. As a retired teacher, Aunt Grace formed a special bond with Keisha (a teacher) who she had only heard about, but never seen. There was lots of good food that was shared by all. We brought KFC and homemade potato salad. I also brought some fall-off-the-bone ribs for our group and others who always make a point to see what we’ve brought! As always, we made a “bee-line” straight to Aunt Arlene’s cherry pie and blueberry pie to ensure we got a piece before it was gone! We even got a piece of strawberry –rhubarb pie that she had reserved. There were individual family group pictures (Richardson, Davis, Highgate) and then one large reunion picture. Unfortunately at lot of people were at the beach or otherwise missed the picture taking. Keisha, Latende, Grant and Zaria headed back on Sunday because of other commitments. We celebrated Frances’ birthday on Tuesday. Cousin Angela came up from Detroit to visit and help celebrate. Rob, Brenda, Frances and I locked up the cabin and left Wednesday morning.
