I always have problems when I send things that goes thru the Atlanta hub. I do know they are having problems and I learned to not OVEREXPECT....

Thanks everyone for the cards so far, but I will honor Charlotte’s request not to disclose anything, but I think I got a case of the”lergic’s” when I opened it...🤐👍😉

December 22, 2024 - Msg 120389: Oh, G-F, you arent the only one with "llergics". Let me tell you all what happened to me last night.
I was in the living room alone. Sean was at a party, Bruce was in bed early because he planned an early fishing trip, Erin was out taking little Mari out of town to see Christmas lights so it was a peaceful evening at home, just me and the dogs. I decided to open the archives and read my old Mayberry Christmas story from 2021. I read some of the comments from Asa and Romeena and got a little choked up. I then decided to walk out to the mailbox because no one had gotten the mail that day and I wanted to see if I had gotten Charlotte's christmas card. It was one of those rare cold, clear, low humidity nights here in south texas and King and I strolled up the long driveway to the road, looking at the neighbor's christmas lights and searching the night sky for stars. It was crystal-clear and still. So beautiful. I pulled the mail out of the box and there was Charlotte's card. Once back inside the house, I stopped at the kitchen counter and opened the card. When I saw what was inside, I stood there in the kitchen with King staring up at me and just cried. I boo-hooed. lol I really miss Romeena. She was a mentor, an advisor, and the best kind of friend to me for over 20 years. You just don't get over losing someone like her very easily. Anyway, thank you Charlotte. You just don't know what it meant to me.
Also, when I went to my little white church this morning (I am going to start calling it All's Saints church because it looks so much like it), when I sat down, there was a lady in the pew behind who looked so much like Lanni I had to do a double-take. Maybe we will become friends. Her name was Penny.

Well, been wracking my brain and making lists to be sure I have everything done by Christmas. It is upon us! Got to finish up some computer work and then finish a baby quilt for Zach's coming edition (Baby Johnny). So now, I will have Charlie and Johhny to love and make things for.

Love and peace to all,
Boo

Let me know if the porch needs a sweep                                   Archives
This version of The Taylor's Front Porch has been created to pay our respect to the original porch found on Mayberry.org. Thanks to Frank for all the work he did for Mayberry on the web. We've tried to make this just like Frank's Porch. This is also a tribute to Ollie's "Trivialities" site which was another homage to Frank's porch but is no longer with us.
