Beyond the South End

Sonny’s Sunshine Corner

Hi, everyone. It’s been a long time between posts here on “Beyond the Southend.” I’ve missed you all since I had to leave this space at the end of April. I still have not had the operation I need on my right thumb as I simply ran out of time before I left Georgia. I will however try to continue the blog as I am able to until such time as I can arrange for the operation so that I can return to you full time.

 

Brother Ted

 

 

During the summer a lot happened to me personally included the death of my dear brother, Ted. You have all enjoyed his old “Fish and Chips” columns here and I will try to bring you more of his old columns as soon as possible. I will also do a special tribute to him at a later date.

Nanci and I are now residents of Maine, as we moved here in the middle of October. We are still trying to get the house here in Warren ready for winter with some much needed repairs. We therefore can’t visit you all very much until our projects are finished. At least we have most of the boxes unpacked and as much stuff put away as possible until we have arranged our storage spaces better.

I will certainly plan, however, to attend the next RHS Class of ’59 breakfast at the Brown Cow next month. Please all come so that I can reconnect with you all.

 

Two special little twins I said good bye to in Georgia…Kennedy on the right and Rayne on the left, daughters of former workmate, Casey Shumate Parr and her husband.

See you later. Until then wish me luck in luring Butchie out of one of many of his new hidey holes.
