Comments: Yuvonne and I like the old hymns better also. Our "Praise Team" (not to be confused with a choir) leads us in what I call 7-11 songs. That's 7 words sung 11 times. I like the old songs where we sang about Gods' animals like " Sad, Sad the bitter whale", and While I To, The Fountain Fly" and Gladly, The Cross eyed Bear". The list goes on but I wish they would mix in a few old hymns for us old guys. DWS
Comments: Congratulations to Grandpa McGee! Let's hope he gets your good qualities along with Carrie's dads good qualities. A Valentine baby  Ada, "He Hideth My Soul" if you have the Baptist Hymnal it page 340. I leaned over to my sister and said I don't remember this, then we got to the one part and it all came back. Wonderful memories! I am so thankful that my parents raised me in a Christian home. I hope you are doing good Ada, just take one day at a time! Thank about you often. You continue to be in my prayers.

Comments: Sandy Mc, What hymn did you sing? I love to look through the old hymnals and remember the songs....so many memories.....
Comments: Sandy and Don hope you had a great day yesterday and as you celebrate today may you make many happy memories. Yesterday it was crazy everywhere.  It was like Christmas. I have never seen so many people buying Valentines cards, gifts flower, etc. I went to seven different stores to purchase champagne glasses and never found any. Take that back, I found one green one. I was preparing packages for the hotel. I remember the show Winky Dink, but didn't remember that as being the one with the magic window or whatever it was called. I remember placing it on the TV screen and drawing. I ask my sister about it and she didn't remember it and she always remembers everything. I thought it was another show, but I must be wrong and don't want to cause Sam his free lunch. Today at church we sang an old song from the hymnal, which we hardly do anymore, it's always on the screens. I had forgotten the song till we got to a part that I could clearly hear my mother sing. It brought a tear to my heart and a wonderful memory. My mother had a beautiful voice. It made me miss her. Saw Linda and Rudy at Cafe Brazil just a little while ago.  Everyone have a great afternoon! 
Comments: Hope you SNL and Don had a great day!.Sarah turned 18 on Valentines day.Seems like yesterday I was calling her baby Sarah.She is so smart and has the looks too.So proud of her!. One of my Son's , John, had a roomate move to Missipissipi and another to Dallas.

I took the week off since Eva works at a flower shop and took care of Jacqueline.Hope the Ladies and Gents had a fun VDay.
Comments: Oh My! I turned my PC off Fri at 5:00 & just now logged back in. Thanks you guys for all the wonderful Anniversary & Valentine's wishes!!  Cupid, what a beautiful poem, you must be working overtime this weekend!Don & I gave up on celebrating on the 14th, it's too crowded and you can't enjoy a leisurely dinner without everyone waiting for you to get up. We now go out on the 15th and it's so much better. Yesterday was great, Don did a bunch of things around the house for me while I went shopping at Firewheel!!! We sat home last night with a few drinks and a movie. We're about to leave for breakfast and then this evening a nice dinner. Like Donnie said, Life is Good!!! Thanks again for being such great friends & I appreciate each one of you! 
Comments: John S -- Yea, Yea, Yea to you and Dale. Gotta go get ready for SS. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Comments: I am in Galveton and the weather report here is it is raining. I missed telling everyone Happy Valentine's Day yesterday! Hope it was great. Happy Anniversary Don and SNL. Hope ya'll had fun. They think we are in New Orleans here and everyone is throwing beads at everyone and you cannot drive anywhere it is so crowded so we are just staying at the hotel to eat. Hopefully most everyone will go home today!
Comments: Memo To Linda: I, too, wondered what JD was referencing when he mentioned not discussing the "P" word. Dale clarified it for me ... the P-word is "Perkins". Go figure?
Comments: Dale- thanks for sharing your student curriculum as an ISD Administer. Wish I was in your ISD. We did not get a TV till the mid 50's. And yes I remember the green film on the screen to make the color of black and white. My favorite show was Roy Rogers and Dale Evens on Sunday afternoons. Now I am older I was wondering (as I seem to do more often as I get older) why Dale was not called Dale Rogers. Maybe they were setting the trend of todays yuts (yuts=youngans) and just living together. Also a biggie was Amos & Andy with the Kingfish always had a scam working. Loved that show.
Comments: Smiley and Southworth, That's it. Thanks for the info and website. She owes me lunch.
Comments: Sandy and Don -- Happy Anniversary and Happy Valentines Day. JD -- What is the "P" word? Also, thanks for the Valentines wishes. We spend most of the day in McKinney, drove up there to my grandson's basketball game, and saw my other 2 grandkids up there. They made me cute Valentine cards. Around 5 pm, we tried to go to Outback Steakhouse in Frisco, but the wait was 65 minutes. So, we left, drove the tollway down to Frankfort and ate at Mi Cocina (my favorite Mexican food place). Didn't have to wait there. Is your area still buried in snow? I haven't heard a weather report from your way lately? Hope you are warm.
Comments: http://www.tvparty.com/requested2.html Sammy, This might help
Comments: Well, Sam, your co-worker may have you on a technicality. As I clearly recall, the show was named "Winky Dink and Ewe". In fact, I still have my Winky Dink TV Kit with the transparent sheet that attaches to the TV screen. These days I mostly use it to draw exaggerated features on the women of Desperate Housewives. |
