Don L, I haven't received anything from Bubble Life.  I used the link you placed in your message to check it out.  It's an interesting site and I'll probably check it occasionally.  Thanks for sending it.

FYI - Rcvd an unsolicited e-mail yesterday, excerpt:

“After cutbacks at the Dallas Morning News and other local media, I believe that neighborhood news - the news that binds us together as a community - is in jeopardy of going unreported.

That's why I want to personally introduce you to Oak Cliff BubbleLife. At BubbleLife, we have a new way of gathering and distributing local news. But the best way to explain it is to show you.

Tomorrow, you'll start receiving your daily Oak Cliff BubbleLife newsletter that brings all the neighborhood news right to your inbox. Want to see it now? Visit our website at: http://oakcliff.bubblelife.com

Welcome to BubbleLife!

Thanks,

I re-scanned that e-mail & the1st newsletter rcvd today to ensure they're safe.  The contents don't appear to be strange orthreatening & aren't asking for anything private or financial, at leastyet.

Just curious if anyone else isgetting this or know how I/we might've gotten on distribution?  I'm guessing someone did a helluva job ofcomputer matching known e-mail addresses with anyone related to Oak Cliff orSOC.

A very hectic week....sister, brother-in-law and mom were here from Sunday to Wednesday and then Bobby's brother and sister-in-law came in til yesterday. Johnny helped bobby remove the front wall to put on windows....it is going to look great. But I had to work around therapy 3 days a week. Really sore. My grandson is here now but he is no problem...love having him here...he helps his grandfather....he says when we are gone this house belongs to him and Shelby. Better keep my eye on him. He has been bringing his girlfriends here to jet ski (he has about 15). He said they are just friends...better that way. Lol

Thinking of you all in this sweltering heat.  June is supposed to be in the 70's, not the 90's and the concrete is really hot! It it out third day and we are wimps!  Hopefully, we will get some relief soon but I know I should not complain to a Texan!

Spent a most enjoyable afternoon on Wednesday playing golf, well they played I mostly just followed around in the woods and long grass. Great time with a great group of people. Mr. Browning, Mr. Dagley, Mr. Hughes, Mr. McGee and Da Bears of 67. We played the Dallas Golf Club on Red Bird Lane in south-south Oak Cliff. They tell me it used to be a country club. A very nice course and a reminder of just how pretty Oak Cliff is. In the middle of the course is the grounds keeper's house. Those new bright yellow balls are easier to find than the white ones unless you hit too close to the practice area

Yikes Jack, didn't know the tickets were that high!  But doesn't that also include food?  And goodness knows you can also put away a good share of that!     Oh what the heck . . .  I'll donate a $1 to the endeavor.

I'm waiting for Don to get here about 12:30 with Dylan, Daniel & April - aka The Triplets.   Hope these clouds hold for another day as it wd be great for them to enjoy the big playground w/o 100* plus weather.  Last year we had the HEAT WAVE early.  At 101* we were at the playground for 4 hrs & at 103* we were at the Zoo all day!!  Hopefully it will be a few degrees cooler this yr!! 

Oh, I've got cute Grandone pics to post .  Will do shortly.  Later  guys . . .

Thanks for the heads-up, SNL. I'm sure I would enjoy it too!! The tickets are kinda pricey. I've been known to put away a fair share of whiskey, but I'm not sure I could drink $125.00 worth. Now if someone wanted to set up a "send Jack to the whiskey festival" fund and everybody sent a few dollars, well that would be a different matter.  If everybody is feeling REALLY charitable, I really would like (and need) to go to golf camp.

Shortcake - Done. 

Jack-I've been hearing an ad for a Whiskey Festival that will be held in Dallas in Oct.  Sounded like something you'd enjoy!  The advertised site is  www.dallaswhiskeyfestival.com

Don's leaving early this afternoon to head to Driftwood to PU the triplets.  He'll head back with them in the mrng early.  Can't wait to see them!!!  Have big wk planned with trips to Children's Aquarium at Fair Park, A big wooden playground in Coppell, Sandy Lake Park, swimming in our neighborhood pool and anything else we can find to do!  Maybe a little baseball in the park one mrng before it gets too hot.  Ya'll have a good week . . .

Susan, glad Jake & you enjoyed the egg casserole.  We also like to have "breakfast" for dinner sometimes!  During the winter I've even fixed us a big bowl of chili & then scrambled some eggs.  Put the eggs in the chili, it cuts the grease & is really good.

Ronney - I sent you a pvt em with the recipe attached.  Enjoy!

Carol - it's so nice to hear from you.  I'm sorry you lost your friend/co-worker due to retirement.  When we work with people for a long time they become more than co-workers, they become friends & sometimes almost like family.  But good news is . . .  he retired, he didn't pass away! 

I'm watching the Ranger game & bottom of the 6th was unbelieveable!  We got 5 runs!!  Gentry even beat out a run down!!!

Rick, your story brought tears to my eyes.  What sweethearts you and the Korean War vet are.

I'm feeling sorry for myself today.  One of our team members retired yesterday, and I'm really going to miss him.  He had worked for the NAIC for about 14 years.  For over twelve of those years we were on the same team and "officed" next to each other.  It's sort of like a family member has moved away.  I'm happy for him and his wife, but I'm sad for me.

Father's Day wishes to all to whom they apply.  Enjoy tomorrow and let yourselves be spoiled.

Love to all - Carol

Sammy: may a tiny little shark bite off your little toe. LOL

Hope you and Sarah have a great time. I told my friends with the Coppell police department where the gold coins are hidden and we made a deal. They will get into the house to get the coins and we will spit them 50/50.

OH, and I called your post office and they promised NOT to open the mail that comes in plain brown envelopes and wrapped in plastic. They also promised not to tell Sarah about those items. So, you're safe.
Thanks.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL OF MY FELLOW SOCITE-FATHERS AND GRANDFATHERS!!

We went to see the movie "Prometheus" in "XD and Real 3-D," last night. It was part of my Father's Day gift. Although they don't say it in advertisements, it is obviously the prequel to the 1979 movie, "Alien." I really liked it. Lots of great tension and suspense. Ridley Scott, who directed "Alien," also directs this new movie. So, the style is the same. The giant humanoids' space ship is exactly like the crashed space ship at the first part of "Alien," where they found the pods and the alien embryos." The ship looks like a giant large intestine. LOL. Really!!! Just like it did in "Alien." And, there are other things that have been kept the same. Interesting story line, too. Connie had been given a rather generous gift card to Cinemark, so we splurged to see it in 3-D; but, it would be just as good in a regular format.

SNL, I made your breakfast casserole for dinner last night and it turned out great!  Jake loves it!  The only change I made was to add a handfull of chopped green bell pepper and onions.  Thanks again for the recipe!
