been taking care of robert while verleen is out of town (she's headed for canada!).
it is not an easy task to say the least. at least, not working full time + i
do a little work on the side. but it definately has been rewarding: just looking
at his little bitty face when he is laughing and grinning and stuff is just
about the best feeling i ever had. and he is learning to talk real good. and
he hollers out "DADDY! DADDY!" and runs around and i chase him, then i'll sit
in the floor and he hollers and jumps on me. hehe. or, he'll pull his shirt
up over his head like he is hiding and says "robert, robert" so i will look
for him and then he'll yank his shirt offa his head and scare me. hehehehe.
next, i'll be posting home movies...lol
anyhow, don't forget to vote on the new thing up there. in a week or 2 i'll
see what the verdict is. i'm working on that other stuff, too. just busy lately.
Des, you're a doll. I know "Moonbeam McSwine" will appreciate your efforts.
Will be glad when she posts again. I don't know a lot about music. I just know

Hey Lillian. I wish Ande would come back too. I need to visit her site sometime.
I missed her at Mayberry Days. I meant to email her, need to, I'm just so behind.
TOM, got your snail mail. Thanks lots. Tom writes the most beautiful poems
and things about God. Went to see Granny today and she was feeling better. Cooked
us the best meal. Cubed steak, rice and gravy, cabbage, fried cornbread, apple
crisp...wow! I'd put her cooking up to Aunt Bee's anytime. She is 89 and been

He's all grey, and already weighs six and a half pounds! I named him Jimmy (what
else?) and he's the most spoiled rotten thing you can imagine. I regret that he
was the only one I could save, but at least Jimmy won't be responsible for any
stray kittens; he just got neutered! I'll post a pic of him one of these days

Hi folks. It's getting cold here in Mayberry. The sky is clear. My cat Sweetie
is improving by leaps and bounds and I am so thankful. Yesterday while at the
Bluebird Diner, that visiting minister, the Rev. Bereen, ran into my car. Well,
Barney came and wrote up the accident. Aunt Bee and I were inside the Diner when
it happened and when I went to open the car door, it wouldn't open, so I took
it by Wally's and Gomer pried out the metal against it and except now for my broken
mirror (7 years of bad luck?...for me or the guy who broke it?) and it don't look
too bad. After Barney wrote up the report, he went in and made a date with Juanita.
I wonder if Thelma Lou knows about this? But all and all "it was a real fun day".
Hope today is NOT THAT MUCH fun! I'm sorry about our woods too Moonbeam. I just
hope they don't dig back into the back of our lot. I've always loved the peace
and solitude of the woods behind our house. I can hear the equipment from my house.
Bless the poor misplaced animals hearts. Thanks for your kind thoughts about Sweetie.
They sure help. Miss Ellie

the prayerlist grows longer...
watchin' th' Darling boys an' their non-speakin' roles, got to wonderin'... an'
this might-a been asked an' answered an' mebbe I fergot so I'm a-askin' agin.
of course, their not speakin' worked out fine as far as bein' funny an' all, was
it written that way because of the difference in wages for speaking vs. non-speaking
parts (once an actor speaks a certain amount of words they become unionized an'
th' pay rate changes dramatically), or was there a union conflict because The
Dillards must've been in the Musicians' Union, or kinda both because they'd have
to pay Musicians a lot of money to be speaking actors, too...? or mebbe they jes'
couldn't act an' it was best to skip givin' 'em lines atall...?
I heartell both Andy an' Danny Thomas was pretty frugal, ta say th' least... wonderin'
if this was about budget or talent or what..

way yonder too young for such a problem. Miss Ellie, I'm glad Sweetie
is improving. My Sugarplum made the trip to Florida just fine, snoozed in her
carrier all the way home, right next to my feet. Flying is no big deal for her.
Bulbsnatcher, I'm really impressed. You actually changed a tire? Wow! Tom,

Hey, all! Well, I have some miraculous news!! Greg didn't
have a stroke after all!! He has toxoplasmosis, and the swollen lesion on his
brain has been causing the paralysis! They have him on antibiotics and a steroid
for the swelling, and God willing he should be significantly better in a week
or two. After a few months, he is expected to be back to normal, if not sooner.
This is the most exquisite blessing I can think of. Yesterday was so dismal and
hopeless, and now this incredible news.... I'm so happy I could just squeal! LOL!
I went to see Greg last night, and just as I walked in his sister said I couldn't
have come at a better time, because he was asking for me. I can't believe I'm
getting my friend back. What a beautiful holiday blessing. Thank you all so very

Hey, Leon! In the episode The Darlings Are Coming it was Aunt Bee's
good home cooking that got the boys to speak. After one of her meals, Mitch
can be heard to say, "About to pop," while talkative Doug remarked, "Great beans,
Aunt Bee." And as Aunt Bee left the courthouse they all chimed in unison, "Good
night, Aunt Bee." Other than singing, the boys are never again heard to speak.
I've read somewhere that the reason the boys never spoke, other than the time
stated above, is because they couldn't act. Hope that answers your question.
Miss Ellie, why aren't you using a font color anymore? Don't you quit, too!
You know what they say about dropouts.

be no more!
To Msg # 1072 if you want to use font color in your posts I'd be happy to
tell you how! And if you don't that's fine too, some folks prefer b/w. Posting
with different font colors is real simple, all you have to do is type in <font

this! And to turn it off type </font> and there you have it! If
you want to practice first you can do that at this practice

words of encouragement. I saw Greg today. Turns out he DID have a stroke
after all, but the prognosis is still very good, and he's looking better than
he has in ages, and is doing better. I'm so glad. He might need some physical
therapy, but he should make a complete recovery. He's up and walking around, talking
better, and does have partial use of his right side. I'm very optimistic, and
so is everyone else. Please keep him in your prayers, though. That is helping
so much. So... what's on everyone's Thanksgiving feast menu? ~De§~

Well as usual I didn't make myself very clear. :-) Greg does
have toxoplasmosis, which has caused a lesion on his brain, but the doctors think
that lesion is what caused the stroke. Hope I'm making sense here! ~De§~

Hey to all! Wish I was gonna be in North Carolina for Thanksgiving....I'd
go by the Snappy Lunch and have me a big "porkchop sammich for my feast! MMMMmmmm!
Those things are SO GOOD! Hey....has anyone heard any more on the plight of The
Snappy Lunch? Has it moved to a new location? I guess I COULD do some research
myself, huh?
No white stuff here in my part of Tennessee, but I'm sure tryin' to keep up-to-date
on the weather conditions heading toward Emma's way....can't get snowed in up
there!
Well....I wanted to just pop in and say "hi" to everybody. Love to all.

yo to everybody!
i was thinking of making a rib roast, but i think verleen wants a turkey.....
so i'm thinking, i'll get a small-medium turkey (there's only the three of us,
counting robert), loosely stuff it with red onions, thyme rosemary garlic salt
and pepper and a half of a lemon. rub it with olive oil black pepper and salt.
then about an hour before it's done, start glazing it with a lemon juice/ brown
sugar mixture (that has been simmered a little to blend it). then on the side,
serve some regular roasted garlic mashed potatoes and gravy (plenty of bay leaves
and wine) from the gibblets, a little bacon/ greenbeans (onions, garlic, some
chicken stock--reduce it then put that mixture in a pot with the beans and simmer
them in some water-salt-and-pepper- for a long time), with some roasted corn,
some nice bread and then an apple crisp and ice cream. that's the plan anyway.
holler at yall later

Sounds like everyone is going to eat heartily on Thanksgiving.
I think we will go out this Thanksgiving. It has been a really hectic time around
here and I just want to sit back, relax and let someone else do the cooking and
cleaning up.
I should post this in COLD BLUE if there is such a color.
We will get down to l5 degrees tonight ! TOO COLD. Unusual in Mayberry. I agree
with NRNMG, I too am thankful for this forum Ollie brought back to us, and for
Ollie and all the people who post here as this is a "real friendly town". Goodnight
sweet people. Miss Ellie
