Welcome back Floyd. That must have been a neat drive back. I'm envious. Just think, now you can make u-turns and everything.
That sounds like some frightful soil you have Romeena, but as usuall you seem to have a handle on it. Thats one thing I admire about you, is your ability to deal with what life has to offer you, and make it work well for you. More of us need to be like you.
How ya feeling Mrs. Wiley? Hope yer doing ok. You got pulenty of pills and soup to get you on the mend?
Been kind of quiet around here. Guess I need to stir up the pot. But I'll use a different pot than Salty's cause she's been boiling them ramp things all day, and her pot is gettin a little thin.
Hope we all have a great week ahead, and are all doing well.

Saturday morning I was at work and a friend of mine came in. He is a really big bluegrass fan and he also likes TAGS. Well one day he had come in when I had the Darlings ep playing where Charlene sang Salty Dog and he was talking about the Dillards and howmuch he liked them and all. Well Saturday, he came in and said howdy Salty Dog!! I liked to have fell over. There is no way at all he could know about my name on here. It was pretty funny. Well I didn't mean to be so longwinded. Yall have a good day. Floyd if you drive by my house would you give her a blast on the siren? Later--Salty Dog
May 20, 2002 - Msg 6970: Morning, porch. You're right Asa, it has been quiet around here. Everyone's probably been busy with all them weekend chores. Nice to have you back, Floyd. I can't wait to read your report. Did you keep your notes from your trip folded up inside your hat? Salty, did you tell your friend about your name here on the porch? You'll have to invite him to sit a spell on the porch. Have a good Monday everybody.

Hazel, Sammy is doing quite well. The steroids have caused him to buff right up and he seems to be getting along reasonably well. It's hard to keep him from jumping around though and I fear he will hurt hisself again. I hate yelling at him to get down when I come home cause he is happy to see me but I don't want him to hurt himself, so all in all things are good. Thanks for asking.

May 21, 2002 - Msg 6999: Howdy, all! What on earth is all this business of SNOW falling on folks? I thought we were having a problem with global warming. Sure doesn't sound like it to me. On the other hand, maybe if it wasn't for the warming, you folks would be in the middle of blizzards! (heehee)
Asa, you're too kind to me. I just try to make it, one day at a time. Like yesterday - retirement residence manager called me at 7:15am, said my dad had fallen in his bathroom, EMTs there, etc. Naturally, I raced over there, found him basically OK, just dizzy. Another one of his vertigo attacks. Stayed with him all day, my brother came at 6 and stayed all night, while I went on to work. This morning, he's fine, thank the good Lord. "As$isted Living", here he comes, as soon as there's an opening. Pray for us, friends. He wants an apartment with a living area and a separate bedroom, and the "as$isted" side only has four of those. We'll take the little one-room suites if we must, but I'd love to see him get what he wants. That doesn't happen often for him these days.
Hey, Asa, how would it work if you just picked Sammy up for a couple of minutes when you come in? That way, he wouldn't be jumping, and would feel like he had greeted you properly anyway. "Might work." "Yeah, but it might not!"
My 'puter is feeling better, but still a little puny. Will probably link up with its daddy again this evening, and see if he can just heal it completely. Wish I had his smarts.
Have a great evening, friends. Sugarplum says hey!--Romeena

He is so funny cause he has always carried on like that, if I'm gone to the store for 10 minutes or gone to work all day. He just carry's on something fierce. These little fellers are fearless.
Well the snow made it down to about 6,000 ft here and we are at about 4800 ft, so unless it storms more tonight we should be snow free. Now frost is another concern. We done had a bad frost 2 weeks ago and I replanted and now Thursday morning is gonna be iffy.
Hope you can find your Dad siutable accomadations Ro. Good thing yer there to look after him.
Didn't mean to skeer you Helen. Think about something else, like a web footed red crested lake loom. That'll help.
Where is my Mrs. Wiley? Doing ok hon? Hope so.

The "mind" part doesn't refer to obedience or brain power, but refers to paying attention to, or caring about, like in "mind your manners", or "who's minding the store". So, "never mind" really does mean just what we have always used it for - don't worry about it, forget it, don't pay any more attention to whatever you're "never minding". Clear as mud? I thought so!

One of our teacher's is adopting her. It should be exciting. Being where we are in Indiana, we had an all white school until I started the classroom in this building and then we had our first minority - a little girl who was Mexican American. Now we have several Mexican American children but they are very much in the minority - maybe 2-3 in a school of 550.
It is finally going to get some warm temperatures in our area today - we are looking at a high of 72. That is great compared to the frost that has been covering the ground the last three mornings. I agree with Mavis - someone has been meesing with the calendar;).

I need to e-mail you sometime 'bout my daughter's schoolwork. She fell "woefully behind" (Miss Crump) in her studies this year and I'd like to know how to help her get ready for 5th grade.

I got some time real quick soooooo....

Guy Watch '02 Update (this could become a habit):
This might take a little time but is quite funny.
A couple of my married guy friends offered to go find Mason last night after church and have a little "talk" with him. BTW Mason is this guy's name. Well I knew he would be at Burger King studying with the guys for a chemistry test so we all loaded up and went to town. They have no idea who he is so they were going to go in ask which one was Mason and then ask him to step outside so they could talk to him about me. They had already left by the time we got there though.

One of these guys however knows his father and does buisness w/him so if he said he would call Mason's dad today and get him to put the idea into his head.

Things are moving along. Although I'm not sure
if this is the right approach. What do ya'll think?

I asked God to see him this morning and I got to then I asked to see him at lunch and low-n-behold who do you think walked into Subway? God is GOOD! I hope that I'm not reading this the wrong way. We'll see!

If all elst fails I'll try all of ya'll's suggestions....but not all at one time!
