Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to the many LaFayette Ridge neighbors who have served our country. We thank you!

Thanks to Ms. Emma for hosting the neighborhood fall cookout on Saturday night. Nearly 50 LaFayette Ridge neighbors came out for great food, fun and fellowship together.

Get well wishes go out to Laura Sharp (John and Relma's daughter) after having a large kidney stone surgically removed on Thursday and to Barbara Beverly for continued healing after surgery as well.

Olivia Taylor (daughter of Doug & Maria) will perform/dance in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC! Be sure to watch for Olivia on NBC during the telecast (between 9 a.m. - noon).

Update on Parker

Thank you neighbors for your continued prayers for Parker while he battled "early" pneumonia recently. After a trip to the ER, medicine and breathing treatments, he is on the mend and feeling much better!

Congrats Paden Hood!

 

Congratulations Paden Hood - Loganville Christian Academy's 2012 Homecoming King!

Dog Poop Patrol
Several neighbors have expressed their displeasure at dog poop in their yards and they have asked that you please remove your dog's waste as you are out walking in the neighborhood. Please help us keep our neighborhood a great place to live.

Snoopy has been dog-napped
The Kidd's Snoopy dog (stuffed toy) has been kidnapped. Snoopy was resting on a rocking chair inside the garage while the Kidd's took a break from pricing yard sale goods when he went missing. Have you seen him? It is thought that perhaps Copper (Stewart) found a new friend and carried Snoopy off into the sunset.

Bosom Buddies
Also, how sweet are these new buddies? Ashton and Parker (aka "Marker") are posing for a picture after playing together in the cul-de-sac.

And, don't forget to please slow down while driving through the neighborhood, keep your pet on a leash (maybe that could have saved Snoopy from being dog-napped), and let Maria know if your family will attend the fall cookout (Saturday, Nov. 10th) and what food item(s) you'll bring.
