Today the dwindling Wood Doggett family Reunion was conducted on the usual first weekend of the month of June, just on Saturday instead of Sunday as in past. Some came because the potluck lunch was followed by a memorial service for my Uncle J.C. Doggett (James Clarence but always went by JC). Both were at the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Warren, Bradley County, Arkansas. I had a speaking part in the memorial service but did not go to the old home place afterwards for the spreading of 1/3 of his ashes because I don't drive after dark and would have had to with my tight schedule. Another 3rd of ashes were spread in Tulsa and another on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. Here's the group before eating our potluck lunch.
This is one of the first photos made on my new Galaxy s4 phone.
Night before last on my way to Warren, I spent the night on Beale Street in Memphis.
This is inside the Blues City Cafe where I ate dinner. Last night I ate Ronnie Miller's catfish and Joan's trimmings!
Tonight I'in the Bartlett area of Memphis on my way back home.
I'm tired but glad I came. I used to make the 9 hour drive in one day, but it is too much for my back, legs and feet now, so I break it into two 4-5 hour drives, adding some fun!
