Thanks for making me laugh. Been a rough couple of weeks.We found out about a month ago that my brother in law had terminal cancer. He passed away Thursday evening.Mercifully,he never suffered.Thank God for that. I've been reading the posts,but haven't felt like chatting much until now-this Van Gogh stuff is hilarious!Keep 'em coming!

She is my husband's sister and is a very sweet person. They really don't know how bad the cancer is yet and will going back in to dissect the throat next week. I hope and pray she will be okay.

Boo, we'll be praying for you and yours as well, as your sister-in-law enters the fight with cancer. Seems I know so many people right now who are in that battle. I'll be so glad when a cure is found.
It's looking a bit like rain outside here in the Dallas end of the porch right now. Wind blowing, lots of clouds overhead, but it could blow right over, too. At least the wind is blowing the last of the cottonwood hulls off the trees and off my roof. I think that's the end of that mess for this year. I sure wish there was some way to discourage these trees from making all that cotton, but I don't know what it would be. Don't suggest cutting them down - at my age I'd never see anything else grow up to replace them, and I'd rather put up with the cotton for a couple of months out of the year, than to have no trees at all.

Mary Wiggins, I'd be proud to share my watermelon. Matter of fact, there's plenty, because by the time I finished drinking about six glasses of tea, I didn't want the watermelon! So, I'll probably have it tomorrow. It's a good one, I've already had one piece of it, yesterday.
I got my Mongolia haircut on Thursday. It's really, really short, and I like it. Longest part is just under two inches, and the shortest is about a half inch. We can't take any electrical things, so no hair dryers or curling irons. Therefore, it's gotta be wash and wear. I always wear my hair short, but not usually this short. I think I like it, at least for summer.

I asked my b-in- law when I last saw him if he was hurting,had any pain,etc. He just kept saying "No,not yet" as if he was anticipating extreme suffering as his cancer progressed. From that day on,I prayed that God would not let him suffer.He NEVER did. God Bless Linda and all you dear Porchsters.

It sure has been quiet on the porch this weekend.
Ro, I am trying to picture your short hair. I wish I had the guts to cut mine that short but with my round face I think my head would look like a big snowball. I am going to look up Mongolia on the web and do some research. I have a young friend named Brad who is a missionary and he spoke in church today about his upcoming trip to China where he will be smuggling bibles and helping the underground church (Lord protect him). I thought of you and your upcoming trip. Sounds so exciting. I'm sure you will be blessed!

Well Hello everyone! I'm back from Mayberry...dont have too much time...trying to get the kids to bed. We havent even unloaded the van, we are just sooooo tired. That was a long 5 hours (really longer, with stops) with a 3 year old and an 8 month old!! Tough on my knees too, but..it was fun. It doesnt look exactly like Mayberry, but it is similar. Didnt get to eat at Snappy Lunch..the line was sooo long..all the way down the sidewalk, and it was just too hot to wait with the kids...so we ate lunch at Barney's instead. It was nice, I should have taken more digitals so I could share, but I was taking mostly black and white, so my scrapbook would look like early Mayberry! We went by and looked at Andy's homeplace, but it was being used so we couldnt go inside. There are others things of interest that arent related to TAGS too though. I got the baby a little tank top that say "Mayberry Princess"..it was cute. I got my picture taken with Russell Hiatt (Floyd) of Floyd's Barber Shop..he has sooo many pictures on his wall of fame. It was nice. They had squad car rides, but we didnt do that either..it was always out riding someone, but it was alot of hassle with little ones. Anyway...neat place...Hope everyone has had a great weekend!

I have a few candles, and a couple figurines setting on my T.V. Will that do?....(Guess I am in a silly mood Alyce!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROMEENA!! Sorry I missed it! Glad you got some of my cooler weather, though.
I am going to make Italian Sausage, with fried onions and green peppers on it,lots of mustard on it, too, and fresh corn on the cob and a nice fruit salad. I'll make plenty so come on by and have some! Apple Pie a la mode for dessert!
Have a great Mayberry day all,

Well, thank you all, for the flowers and the ice cream, and all the nice birthday wishes. Makes me feel 'preciated! Rob, there's a lot of truth in what you say about me hiding here on the porch to avoid all the work that's still waiting for me. Also, you know how addictive this window is, and having this porch and the window in the same place is just really a work-stopper. There have been some real hi-jinks in the yard. One of the squirrels has been giving that corn-bungee thing a fit, but I haven't been able to get a picture. It all happens too fast. Just whoosh, and he's gone! I'll get it, though, just give me time. Got some good shots of a redheaded woodpeck er a few minutes ago. Hmmmm, wonder if rubbing his head would ward off a jinx? Don't know how you'd catch him, though.
Gotta go put out bird food and see what's on outside the front door. I know there's something, because the Plum won't stop barking. She smells packages when they're out there.
Everyone have a great evening, and Sugarplum says hey! --Romeena

Romeena...why are you going to Mongolia?

Alyce, she's going to Mongolia for a church-mission thing, I think. Bless her heart. Charlotte, the reunion is going ok. We too are kinda disapointed at the numbers at this point in time. Ours is August 13 & 14, and out of 376 classmates, we have under 100 sign up for the events. Oh well. It'll be nice to see whoever shows up.

Had a record low temp this morning of 52°. Sorry I've made some of you envious. (not! ; ) )
Well, not much going on here. Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning everyone!! Finally got all my laundry caught up, except putting a few things away. Now I am going to clean the cabinet under my kitchen sink..YUCK! But first breakfast...what should it be?? Where's Spot? My 3year old doesnt want to eat of course! Everyone have a great day!

Hey AFD,
We had a record temperature of 61 degrees yesterday, and that was the HIGH temperature! My 20 year old son asked, "Whatever happened to global warming?!" I think today it is going to get into the 70's though.
Alyce, I am glad you got your laundry caught up, I remember when I was a child, my parents would take me and my three brothers and one sister camping. When we came home after a week out in nature, my poor mother would literally have mounds of laundry all over the basement!
I guess my High School Reunion will be next year, (30th), and I haven't gone to one yet. I would probably be one of the folks Charlotte and Hazel would be disappointed with. My graduating class was just shy of 900, though, so I don't think any one will miss me. I was just another face in the crowd there anyway!
It sure looks purty out my window this morning. My apple tree is beginning to show spots of red all over it where the apples are ripening, and to me, red apples amidst green leaves, set against a crystal clear is one of the prettiest sights one can see!
I guess I better get out of this rocker and quit admiring the sky, though! Y'all have a great day!

Goooooooood Morning! Anyone got anything interesting to share today?
Mary W. where are you at to have such marvelous weather? I'm in the Florida Panhandle where it's not the heat.... it's the humidity. And we REALLY mean that when we say it. Humidity is awful. It makes it hard to breath, can't depend on good hair weather at ALL if you have natural curls like me, and before you take ten steps out your door you can be sure to be sweating like a pig.
Boy do we love our winters here even if it doesn't officially get cold until late December. I've been known to where T-shirts to my grandma's on Christmas Eve (or wear a sweater and have to change b/c I'm too hot). Once again I say that we Love our colder weather.
Dixie B.
PS-- Humidity is just as bad in the winter too... makes your fingers and toes feel like they'll just fall off....
July 28, 2004 - Msg 22502:
Wow, I can't even imagine those cool days or even apples, for that matter. What am I doing down here?! It won't cool off here for at least 2 more months and then it will only be for one day then hot the next, yada, yada, yada. I am really looking forward to the fall and Thanksgiving. I am trying to think of something different to do, maybe a new, meaningful tradition. Any ideas out there?
Gotta gogh!

Hi, didn't see you there, Dixie. Boy, can I relate to what you are saying. I am on the coast of South Texas and the humidity here is horrible! I, too have worn t-shirts and shorts on Christmas. Its a bummer, isn't it? Oh, for a white Christmas!

Mary...I tasted one of my granny smiths yesterday and I thought it was rather good. A bit early for them right now, but not long. The beatles really got to our apple trees this year, maybe we need to change the type of spray we use on them. Sounds beautiful whereever you are though. We've had a lot of rain here (VA). I cant even stand the heat like I used to...the days of laying out in the sun on a tin roof with baby oil!! As long as I have some water to get in close by I'm OK. Boo: I'd love a white Christmas as well..I dont remember ever having one. We got married Dec.11th (99) and the week before our wedding it was 80 degrees. I was aggitated of course, because I had a long sleeve wedding gown..I still got hot even though the temp went down though for the wedding. Anyway..yall have a good one!
