Penny Feather Tree Auction for a dear Sweet Pfatt Friend

On February 14th - on Ebay - this wonderful feather tree will be a charity auction for the Alabama Chapter of LLS. The 38" bronze feather tree will feature ornaments handmade by 30+ members of PFATT, a forum on Ebay. One of our dear members is being treated for Leukemia and all of us thought it would be a great thing to assemble this tree for a charity auction on Ebay to hopefully help her and others suffering from this blood disorder.

I have included some pics to give you a preview!

Please go to Ebay on the 14th

Love Jo and Lacey Jane

Pics from Broaddus Cemetary

Here are the promised pics from the Homecoming:

This pic is from a grave my family calls Baby Dove. All we know about the little boy who died in the 1920's. We always put flowers there.

Here is a pic of my brother's tombstone.

This is my beloved nephew's. He was in the tractor business and loved it!

I love this one - it is pointing to heaven! There were lots more I took pics of, but I think these were the most interesting. Stay well everyone....
