Happy Birthday Derrick!

Tomorrow my brother-in-law, Derrick, turns 53! When I stop and think about it...we have known each other since we were 14-15 years old...almost 40 years. He went to school at our cross town rival and we played basketball against each other in different color uniforms.
He is the brother I never had and a 2nd son to my dad. Having lived away from Wilmington for most of my adult life, Derrick has always been there for my dad whenever he needed anything. He has always done it, even when my dad wasn't very lovable. I admire my brother-in-law for many different reasons and I'm thankful God has blessed him, my sister, and my nephews in so many different ways. Happy Birthday D-Rock!
WOW...it is getting busier and busier at the store. If there is a recession, you wouldn't know it by the amount of groceries flying off the shelves. I'm already tired and we still have 2 weeks until Thanksgiving and 6 weeks until Christmas. I will say this though!! WE ARE READY! Our folks are awesome and I am blessed beyond measure to work with the group that surround me. Even on my off days, they are always there to pick me up!
