Hey Barb. Hows life on the other side of the world? I tried to get to you Sunday. I wanted to gloat over our last 5 weeks, temp hadn't been below 70 degrees until Sun. night. When it hits 65 normally, I ain't coming out again till April, but only if it stays above 65. Anyway, it was 49 degrees 3 nights in a row. And, not only the temp betray me, I figured out to catch pneumonia when I was NOT chasing it. (my grandmother would always tell us we shouldn't be running after bad stuff, that's why we caught it and got sick). The funniest part was she'd stand on the front porch and would holler at us that we weren't fast enough and we might catch something else we weren't looking for. Don't know how she did it, but by the time we were exhausted and came back in, there was always fresh baked cookies, candy,,cakes, pies, and the best cinimon raisin bread, fresh from the oven. Best in Va. and WV. Never found any that could beat it. Fun days.
Sorry, having a pity party day. My youngest son, Jon moved out to Missouri Monday, so I'm being reflective today. He's never been more than 75 miles from me. Well, he has to grow up and become the man he is supposed to be, and you can't do that with Mom always running to "fix" it. But it is a good thing for him. And will be for me too, just not for a couple weeks, and then I'll be back on the saddle again, just the same old prankster, but without anyone to play jokes on 'cept Rick. His life will ajust to me sewing his pant legs shut, hiding things you just can't do without in the real world..ie, credit cards, toothbrush,one shoe ends up in the chandleer or shaving cream somehow freezes. We must have a "hoot de jour" everyday. Makes life so much more interesting, don't you think? I just tell Rick we have pixies and gremlins in the back yard and they only come out after he gets to sleep. I don't really know why, but it sure makes him look funny while he's looking.
Sorry, so long, just a bit lonely today. Anyway give me a call.

Hello Ladies
I don;t know how many of you read the article on this website about the Wreaths for Arlington but it was decided by myself and our officers that this would be a wonderful way to honor those men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Therefore we have purchased two (2) of the wreaths that will be placed on the graves in Arlington on Saturday (10th). We would like to help with the cost of more of them if not this year than next year. The cost of each wreath is $15. If you would like to help with purchasing another wreath this year (even after placing them, many of them still need sponsors to help pay for them, please forward the amount you would like to donate to me and I will pay for them with one of our organizations checks as we have a sponsorship already established. When you donate I will send to you a pin that shows you helped sponsored a wreath.
Make any check payable to
