Another FABULOUS October Weekend in 'bama!

I love spring and summer but I really think that Fall is my FAVORITE time of the year...college football, leaves changing colors, haunted houses, sleeping with the windows open....it's just AWESOME! I could never live in a place that did not experience a change in seasons! The weather is finally getting cooler (70's & 80's) but the bad thing is it is getting darker earlier...seems it doesn't matter if we turn the clocks back or not...

This week we had quite a scare in the Coker family...my niece, Karen, and her precious little daughter, Brylie Jane, were in a terrible car accident...luckily no one was hurt - except the car of course. I'm so thankful that everyone was okay! This week I taught 9th & 10th grade Sunday School and the topic was "Blessings"...I definetly used Karen's story for the lesson...we take so many things in our lives for granted....food, shelter, clothing, love, family...the list goes on and on....these are blessing that are given to us from God and we didn't even have to ask for them...we need to remember to be thankful for all that we DO have instead of stressed out for what we WANT to have!

On to the haunted house....this weekend I was host to Angus Scrimm, the tall man from Phantasm. He was a precious older gentleman (83 yo) who was a real trouper...he stayed each night at the haunted house until midnight signing a ton of autographs. I had never seen the movies until Friday night...and then I was a little more than FREAKED out when just the 2 of us got back in the car for the trip back to the hotel! But all was well...I am alive! This is a picture of my nephew, Christopher, with Angus Scrimm. (Christopher is the zombie on the left)

Next weekend we are hosting Bill Moseley...I will keep you posted on his movies and how he is to work with...so far all of the celebrities we have brought in the past 2 years have been so nice and so thrilled with Alabama and especially Atrox...the guys out there are always such good southern gentlemen and make a very good impression representing our state.
