Sandra Buckley (Matthews)
Hello to all our classmates - Bill and I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving next week and are able to spend time with your families and good friends and neighbors. Just looked at when I last posted anything, and it was actually BEFORE our great 60th Reunion - once again, thanks to Sharon Nabulsi and her faithful local clan, it was a wonderful weekend.
I mentioned on our last MESSAGE FORUM that our youngest granddaughter, Tatum Matthews, was busy this past summer taking part in a film production - Warner Media, who has the television Channel, CW, has recreated the 50th Anniversary Show of the 1971 special of "The Waltons Christmas Homecoming". Of course, it's an all new cast (with many original actors having passed away), and Tatum is fortunate to be playing the role of Erin Walton, the middle daughter. The original "John Boy", played by Richard Thomas, is alive and well and narrates this new made for TV, 2 hour movie. If you have access to the CW Channel and are looking for some wholesome TV family viewing, it will be televised TWICE before Christmas - the Sunday after Thanksgiving, November 28, from 8:00 to 10:00 PM (believe that's Eastern Time Zone), and again, Saturday, December 11, same times. The DVD of this same new cast show will be available to purchase at Best Buy, Target, and Walmart after December 14. Tatum and her mother, Tamrah, just returned last night, from Los Angeles, CA, where they attended the Premiere Showing - such a fun time for an almost 13 year old sweetheart.
We pray all of you have managed to avoid COVID, have taken your flu shots and COVID Boosters, and are generally managing to stay as healthy as possible. Life seems to be picking up speed every day and unfortunately, we've lost several North Carolina friends and neighbors since September. So, take good care of yourselves and treat each day as a blessing. We will be at home for Thanksgiving with our oldest son, Jay, and hope to have some neighbors join us - then Jay will accompany us to Hilton Head, SC for the week prior to Christmas, and on to Florida for Christmas with his brother, Joe, and wife, Tamrah, and the 2 granddaughters, Aila and Tatum. Holidays are just the best when families are able to gather together.
Hugs to all of you, Sandy & Bill Mattthews
