Place: Sunny & Beautiful Richardson TX Comments: This weekend is gorgeous! Makes up for the horrible Feb. Yesterday was 1st day of spring and today is a repeat of sun and blue skies. Went to my brother's house yesterday to celebrate my SIL b-day. Mango margaritas, hamburgers cooked out on the grill and more desserts than we could eat. We've all been vaccinated for more than 2 weeks and we didn't wear a mask. It was absolute heaven! I felt a freedom I haven't felt in more than a year. May we all continue to fight the invisible killer (covid-19) by getting vaccinated and stamping out the thing that has caused so much misery and death. Better days are ahead, do your part in getting rid of covid-19.
Place: Richardson Comments: Tomorrow is the first day of spring. Hoping for a little less wind & a lot more sunshine! The buds on the trees are a sign of better days to come. There's a light at the end of this dark tunnel we've all been in for more than a year. Hello sunshine!
Place: LV, TX Comments: Sandy & Jack, we appreciate the kind words! Uh, Dale - nice piggy-back. H a p p y B i r t h d a y wishes go out to Gordy Johnson today, Mar. 18th! Gordy – Hope you’re having a great one today, celebrating another candle being added to your cake. Best wishes for many more to come!

Place: Sachse Comments: Congratulations and Happy Anniversary to Don and Kathy. May you enjoy many more!
Place: Richardson Comments: Happy 25th Anniversary Don & Kathy!! May you have many more great anniversaries to share!
Place: Edmond Comments: Donald Lincoln! Such mischief!
Place: LV, TX Comments: Many thanks for the kind word, Paul. I wouldn't call our Marfa lights all that 'mysterious' - at least after some of us determined they could be taken out by a Daisy BB gun!
Place: Edmond Comments: Did Marfa Avenue have mysterious lights like Marfa Texas? Probably not, huh.
Place: Edmond Comments: Don and Kathy...the most heartfelt congratulations on this wonderful occasion. 🥳
Place: LV, TX Comments: Dale - Coincidence in house #'s, 1322 - we were on Marfa Ave., off Ramona Ave., which crossed Overton Rd. Coach Leon Turner, Clara Oliver Elem., lived 3 doors up on the corner for a while, Delma Williams lived 3 doors down, Sarah Duniho, Zita Campbell & Frankie Petrick lived 1 block down. 2 small drive-in grocery stores were on opposite sides of Ramona & Overton - V-Mac, where David Mitchell worked, and Dobb's (formerly Nick's since '36), where I worked for a big guy named 'Tiny'. Our old tel# was FR-2212, then FR4-2212, then 374-2212; grandmothers' were WHitehall2-5229 (Lincoln) & -8041 (Robinson). ![]() Now, I don't know what part of my brain that's stuck in. But, there's another part that will say go on to the store - you only need 3 items (you already know where this is heading, don't you?). Then, after walking all over the store, wracking my brain, I wind up calling home to ask what the hell that 3rd one was! ![]() Lastly, I'd like to mention that today, Kathy & I are starting to celebrate our 25th "Silver" wedding anniversary. It was the '2nd time around' for both of us and we've been blessed ever since - and so have our sons. To be continued ...
Place: Richardson Comments: Richard, it's a good thing you have family close by!
Place: California Comments: I'm lucky if I remember how to get home today.
Place: Edmond Comments: Sam, 1235 Fordham Road. Just down from Clara Oliver Elementary.
Place: Richardson Comments: Dale, I'd forgotten about the party lines! Thank goodness by the time I got to the 8th grade we had a pvt line. We had the standard black telephone with a 25 ft cord on it. Long enough I could drag it to my closet when I got a call I didn't want my little brother listening in on! |
