Happy Birthday Jessica...

Today is my niece’s birthday. She is turning 17.

Some friends of Lori and Ray’s that have

been living in the guest house at Ray’s

for the past 3 months have taken Jessie

home with them for two weeks, so she

is spending her birthday in the UK this

year. Tim and Allsion have been here

while Tim went to a flying school to learn

to fly a helicopter. Tim will be returning

to Nashville in two weeks and will be

bringing Jessie home then.

Jessie is a mild and meek girl, very quite.

Sometimes you do not realize she is in the

room. That is a difference from all the

others in my family. We are vocal, and

people know when we are around because

we like to talk.

I met Jessie when she was about 7 years

of age. Her Mom, Lori, married my brother,

Ray and I was blessed with a new sister in

law, a new niece and nephew.

Jessie is a tiny blonde that loves chicken

fingers and fries! I remember on our cruise

that is all she would eat. But even with that,

she doesn’t eat a lot. She and her Mom are

really close.

I have not spent a lot of one of one time with

Jessie other then a night here and there when

I was house sitting and she returned from her

Dad’s. I have tried to pick at her like I do all

the other niece’s and nephew’s but she just

looks at me and smiles. Not saying anything

back to get me going on a roll! One day Jessica,

I will get the better of you!

I really hope that Jessie has a great time in the

UK. Learning a different culture and meeting

new people will be so much fun for her. It will

be an experience to always have and remember.

Have fun girl, take lots of pictures.

Happy Birthday Jessie.

Thanks for stopping in,
Pam

PS....this is the last birthday wish for family members for the
