Auburntown News

By ANNA PATRICK

We extend our heartfelt prayers and support to Lynne Jackson and family on the death of her husband, Danny, who fought a short battle with cancer. Cancer may have won the battle but Danny has won the war.

Glad to hear both Martha Robinson and Kathy Davenport are home following recent hospitalization.

Br-r-r-r-r-r! Two hard freezes one night and the next. What might winter hold for us?

It was a trip to the Pumpkin Patch for Auburn School grades K-4th on Friday, October 18th. Each one picked out a pumpkin to carry home and carve. Of course, each one picked out the pumpkin that they could barely carry but they had a lot of fun.

Fall Break for school was enjoyed by many who traveled to see the sights. Johnny, Crystal, Johnny and Tyger Kennedy went to warmer weather in Orange Beach, FL. It was off to the mountains for several others.

For P-pa and me it was off to Baptist Hospital (oops - St Thomas Midtown) in Nashville for a knee replacement on him. We came home Thursday of that week (reason for no news). And for the Reeds, it was off to a dental surgeon for Alayna who had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted and she kept on talking!

Jewell Dale of Tunnell Hill, GA is spending several days here.

My brother, Richard and Barbara Harris arrived Saturday for a weekend visit. They were on their way home from Branson, MO where they met our sister, Wanda Yule of Grandview, MO to enjoyed the sights sounds, and shows.
Saturday night the 26th was a night for a big Halloween Party hosted by and at the home of David and Brenda Dodd. There was lots of good food, fun and hayriding. Enjoying the evening were Magaline Davenport, Bridgette Dodd, Keely Brandon, John, Britany, Lighanne, Caitlin and Jon Matthew Dodd, Marshall Smithson, Stephen, Regina, Dale and Rilley Mayo, Darlene Gilliam, Red and Shirley Young, Amy and Logan Young, Austin Husky, Michael Watson, Nancy Haley, Hunter Sandlin, Johnny and Carolyn Smith, Harmon and Robin Yokley, Rex and Linda Lafever, Lindsey Flopper, Catt Lafever, Aiden Howell, Michael and Shirley Dodd, Ray and May Murphy, Jackie and Shelia Haley, Glenda Davenport, Jackee, Ruby and Cici Lafever, Brad, Tiffany, Mackenzie and Mackayle Parker, Billy Motlow, Catie Adams, Steve Corkran, Billy, Linda, Dylan and Alyssa Avera, Kurt Jones, Tiffany Dodd, Kallie and Kelsie Burnett, Billy, Amy and Alex Theiman, Scott, Wendy, Hunter and Morgan Eidson, Larry and Kitty Kittle, Brandon Kelly, Trent Wheeler, Travis, Katie, James and Carter Hancock, Mary and Kelsey Logan, Brandon, Helen Davenport, Lynne Foster, Lisa Baird, Wesley Patton, Joan Hughes, KariAnn Dodd, Cindy, Dixie and Kiersten Garrison, Cameron Milligan, Kathy and Cody Brandon, Judy Allan and grandson, Luke, Wayne Sandy, Courtney Neal and friend Miranda, Katherine and JerriLynn Feinstein, Braxton and Ashton Gilley, Taylor Corneilson, William Warta, Kristin Babington, Erica Adams and friend, Tony and Vanassa and Vince Shrum. What a party!

That same night Prosperity Baptist Church held their annual Harvest Fun at the home of Randy and Cheryl Campbell. Pumpkin painting and corn hole were a part of the festivities along with roasting hot dogs and Smore's. A hayride ended the night.

Our soup and sandwich guests for that night were Richard and Barbara, Jewell and Amaieah Morrison.
You could tell it was Halloween at Auburn School Thursday! It appeared the staff was having more fun than the students!

Due to no news last week, here are happy belateds to Debbie Cheatham and Hallean Tate both of whom were born on Halloween Day (a few years ago and apart!). The first day of November Ruth Davenport put 79 years under her belt! and Helen Pruitt celebrated hers the 2nd. Hope each of you had a great day. 

Now for this week's list: Rita Davis, Mark Duggin and Sheila Williams celebrate the 5th. Anna Leach has her 11th on the 6th. The 7th sees multiple births, J.C. and J.B. Hughes and Erin, Kristen, Garrett and Marshall McReynolds getting cake and ice cream. On the 9th Lynn Ellis, Rex Gaither and Kendall Duggin each add a year. Tyler King can get his Learner's Permit on the 10th. Graham Jackson can get his Driver's License on the 11th the same day Quinton Dodd celebrates. Winding up this week's list is Katey Sheerer on the 12th. Happy birthday to each and every one of you.
