Davy Day November 10th 2025

 Hey Friends,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your extra prayers yesterday! We sincerely appreciate every call, text, comment and card that let us know you were praying for us! We all felt your prayers, hugs and thoughts!

As I wrote yesterday, HERE, it has been one year since Dad has been in Heaven. It was a day full of emotions. We laughed, cried, laughed a lot more and shed a few more tears. Praise the Lord, I can say it was a great day!

Mom and I decided, leading up to this day, that we were going to have a good day. I knew I wanted to spend yesterday close to family.

The first snowfall of the season arrived Sunday night and persisted most of Monday. We all had to laugh. Dad despised snow! He was probably having a good laugh at us yesterday!

In Davy fashion, we went to Acapulco for lunch. We were there when the doors opened at 11 AM, just like Dad  would have been. We drank some salsa for him. It was great to spend time with several of our family members that could join us! I think it was good for all of us!

Mom and I decided to wear Dad's shirts, hats and "ear muffins". It was our little way of having him with us. Mom even ended up getting salsa on her Davy shirt. I know it was not the first time the shirt had Alcapulco’s salsa on it. 🤣

I failed to get pictures for memories sake. Mom's parents were not able to join us for lunch but they came to spend some time with us in the afternoon. We enjoyed Gran and Papaw’s visit!

Later in the evening we went to visit with Mamaw, Papaw and Uncle Steve. It was great to have family with us yesterday. The others were close by via call or text! Our family has helped carry us through this year!  We can never thank them enough for their love. 

Then we were hungry for supper. We all loaded up in the van, and our day concluded with a trip to a Frisch's Big Boy in West Chester, Ohio. It was wonderful to taste this Ohio comfort food again!

Another first is behind us. Lord, I thank you for helping us get through the day! Please be with us as we begin year number two.

Thank you again for being our friends and reading about our adventure of life! I appreciate you for being here for the good, bad and  ugly! See you next time.
