Bucks Birthday Celebration in Seymour!

Fortunately this year, Buck's Birthday landed on Monday - and many from Seymour know that the Petticoat Junction has a nice meaty special on Monday evenings!  Buck was a regular at the Monday special, so we couldn't find a better place to host a meat eating gathering in the name of Buck's Birth!

Mmmmm, meat.



Took down that steak like a champion!
I (Alyce) was having my own meat eating special in Pittsburgh, and sadly order the only thing without meat on the menu at "Meat & Potatoes" - sorry Buck!  (Click here for my blog's post)  It was fun to all get together and relax and do as Buck did, and the Red Solo Cups were plentiful!  I even had a virtual toast with my Pittsburgh Red Solo cup!


Uncle John and Wheezie!


Curty & Marky with their cups - always hard to get the straw!
The Petticoat Junction was hopping!  Many of Joel's close friends and quite a few relatives stopped in for a bite and an "Uncle Buck"!  It was great to see so many faces - and when I called from Pittsburgh, I as pleasantly surprised by the noise and the fun that was going on at the Petticoat!  What a celebration of Joel's life.


We cannot thank everyone enough for joining our family on Joel's Birthday - it's wonderful to have your support. Aunt Hali's friend also made this special gift for us to cherish and remember all the wonderful facets of Joel's life.  Thank you - it's absolutely beautiful!


Another gift we received close to Joel's Birthday was a letter from one of his recipients.  It was a hand written note from a young girl.  The honesty and graciousness in her writing was by far the best gift we could have been given.  She wrote how thankful she was to the angel that walked this earth - and we couldn't agree more.

Bucks crew!  Thanks for coming out boys, I mean men?

Matt, Curty, Marky, Chris, Wheezie, and Deb/Mum!
