Comments: Karen you should have put some cash on that bet !!! Jack or Sammy remember the name of the small restaurant on the Ann Arbor Corner of Lancaster. oh it had the best food in town. the pies had merang about 6'''s high. mom and dad were good friends with owners, it was a real treat to eat there
Comments: Thanks Buddy for reminding me of Ann's name. I had long since forgotten. She really was a good swimmer so I guess it was okay to be beaten by the best. Congratulations on being a champion swimmer yourself. Years later, I convinced my husband that I could swim faster than him by running to the opposite end and jumping in to beat him to the finish. Incredibly, he insisted we go for 2 out of 3 which of course I easily "won". It was like shooting fish in a barrell.
Comments: Well Sammy, my memory has failed on who played what positions. Please step in and get it correct for the record. I know we had an outfield too, but can't remember who. I think one of the reasons we decided to play was the away games and the fact that we got to ride in the back of the pickup truck. Life was simple and fun and the joys were too. For those of us who's jock days ended there, we went out on top.
Comments: Ronney, who is your pastor? My son, his girlfriend and I have been wanting to visit Stonebriar to hear Chuck Swindoll. I always hate to not be at my church.
Comments: JD, don't you get brain freeze
Comments: Sandy, Steve Cargill played starting first base for Spruce. He made the Texas High School All State Baseball for three years in a row. Batting Average was 525 or close to that. Haven't heard from him in 20 years or so. He was a real slugger for the Lisbon team. Played short stop then.
Comments: Sandy McM: While at church on Sunday, I glanced behind me and almost fell over. I thought it was you sitting behind me. I sat there waiting for our "fellowship time" to greet you. I was all excited that yet another SOCite was at our church (Cottonwood Creek Baptist....the largest church in Collin County. Everyone thinks that Prestonwood is the largest....but Prestonwood is in Denton County). Ronnie Norris (SOC '65) also goes to our church. Anyway, when fellowship time came, I turned around to greet you and suddenly realized it was NOT you. Looked a little like you. But, was definitely someone else. I sat there a bit disappointed for the rest of the service.
Comments: Hi, Bob! Our girl is doing just fine. She is excited at being asked to be a bridesmaid in our son's wedding, which will be Sept. 13. She is doing great in graduate school and is really getting into her job as a court-appointed child advocate in Walker County. We are planning to be in Abilene next weekend (not this weekend) to workout plans for our son's rehearsal dinner at Perrini's Ranch Steakhouse in Buffalo Gap. Yummmy. I can hardly wait. How are you and your family doing since the recent loss?
Comments: Dale, you're dragging up the caboose. Ada, were you aware that Debbie passed away last year? I saw her mother's obituary in the paper, about two weeks ago. I thought they were older than my parents so I was surprised that they were both still living. Bobby Roper sent me a wrist courage for Easter and the Biggs brought it to church. I cried because I was embarrassed and didn't want to put it on. I have often wondered what happened to him. He was a very handsome little boy. We were in second or third grade at the time. Mr and Mrs Biggs are deceased. Janice and Linda still stay in contact with one another. Cindy (one of the twins) was on Extreme Makeover HE, she and her husband have a camp for children with needs. Sandy married a golf pro, Steve Smith. I think they are still in Texas. I was going to tell Richard that the girls just got prettier in Ca since last week. Ashley loves it there. She is coming back in March for her mother's birthday. Purchased her ticket before she left. No plans to go there yet. She has already suggested that I move there. I forgot about the riding stables. And yes, I loved to go there. Love to ride even though I was a little scared. I lived third house from Kiest on Dugald, the Reedy's lived up the street, corner of Dugald and Sutter. The Biggs were one house over from us and my best friend (grade school), Sandra Jane Mundy, lived four or five houses up. It would get a little confusing at times with me being Sandra Jean McMakin in the same grade and living on the same street. Thanks for asking about Jana. She is improving everyday. The doctor has been amazed. Prayer can do marvelous things. They gave up the little foster boy that they had planned to adopt. We were all very upset about that, but it was probably for the best. Dillan was autistic and it would have been too much stress on her.
Comments: ....please remove the "at"......
Comments: JD, it will be a while before Shortcake answers you....she's still testing that new camera.....I'll let her tell you what she's been photographing at all week!
Comments: JWT....duh
Comments: JD - Can't your dog wear little pet footies to keep his feet warm?
Comments: Ada, The Richmond I live in is a suburb of Houston on the SW side not in VA, so I know nothing about Richmond, VA except what I have read in books. BLB, good to see you back posting.
Comments: To answer all the weather related questions: Ada...the temperature yesterday started out at 47 degrees yesterday at 10:00 a.m....that's 47 degrees above zero for those in DeSoto. By 7:30 last night it was 2 degrees above...and we woke up to the minus 5 with the windchill at -35. I don't know if it is coming your way...I was asleep during the weather report last night. SJM...we don't own FORDS up here...LOL so we don't have any starting problem unless your car is very old and you don't take care of it...which lots of people make the mistake. Most of us are civilized and have 2 and 3 car garages...but I have known some people who use a heated dip stick that keeps their oil warm and usually helps. But as a side note...many of us have automatic starters (my wife-not me) and she warms her car first..I don't...but I have automatic seat warmers and in a few minutes I am warm. I think that brings all up to date...please accept our open ended offer that Kathy and I would be honored to have anyone come and visit us at any time (winter)...we have room and are gracious hosts...lots of food and liquor as well as entertainment (my wife..not me). But we would prefer that you visit in the winter...then you get the real Wisconsin!!! LOL |
