family photo Sunday

It was a very special Thanksgiving in Cowpens as my mother got to spend time with her three week old great-grandchild, Hudson, and three other great-grandkid: Brielle, Layton and Peyton.   We are also thankful and  praising God for mom's recovery from the car accident in July.

I spent a little time this afternoon at the park in Cowpens with Brielle and Layton, Cindy and my mom.  Who needs to shop when you can spend time with the grands?  

Happy Thanksgiving

Dukies start the season with a win!

The sixth-ranked Blue Devils held off the pesky Bruins 77-76 on Friday night in the first round of the EA Sports Maui Invitational to move Krzyzewski within one victory of tying Bob Knight atop the Division I men's career list.

Belmont definitely played a great game and came close to tying the score twice near the end of the game.  Even with a 16 point Duke lead in the 2nd half, the Belmont team turned this into an exciting finish for the Dukies.  Andre Dawkins came off the bench to shoot a long range three pointer which helped to keep Duke in the lead.  Belmont is a better yeam than most people think - this game was not a blow-out.  Today Duke plays Presbyterian at 4:30 pm.

birth day for Hudson Noah

When the month of November began, we only had 9 family birthdays to celebrate (combining the Franklin and Baggett clans). But now we have a number 10 - as of 3:22 pm on November 1st.  Hudson Noah came into this world - proud parents are my oldest son Joshua and his wife Janelle.  Of course, Janelle did most of the work but we are happy for both and sister Brielle and brother Layton.  We walked everywhere last week trying to speed up this baby, even halfway up the Longstreet Tower at Gettysburg!  So I had to drive back home and go to work on Monday and missed the birth. Well at least Cindy was able to be there for the birth (that was a first also).  We usually end up going a few weeks after the birth to help out, etc.   Hopefully, they will be coming to Georgia or South Carolina for Thanksgiving and I will get to see the little baby in person.
