Happy Birthday Matt

We hope all you dreams come true.

Well, maybe not all but most of them.

OK, some of them.

A few maybe.

One or two, depending on what they are.

Ah Heck, Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Mindy

Someone left a comment about Danny's birthday a few days ago and said...
Dang, everybody is gettin' old ain't they.
Happy Birthday, Mindy

One of Them Has it Right

I went to Road Creek over the summer and asked Mom and Dad what number I was.

I am hoping that Mom has it right, that I am Number 1 daughter.

I am afraid that Dad might be on the right track.

I think I am behind

1. Jeffery,
2. Luci, and
3. Sarah, the woman at the Senior Citizens,

in his book.

Happy Birthday Danny

This Thanksgiving Day is also Danny Looney's 47th birthday.

I remember back when Danny lived over in the other house. I was visiting them one day. Danny had a medicine bottle in his hand and it had two suppositories in it.

Joe said, "I don't know what you are suppose to do with them, but Danny has been eating them."

Danny said, "I do no such of a thing." Wanda and I was sitting around laughing about it.

Well, happy birthday Danny.

Mountain Achiever

The Mountain Student Achiever on last night's WYMT News program was from East Ridge High School, she is Kassie Ward, daughter of Noble and Cathy Ward. I guess there could be two Noble Wards in the area but I suspect this is the same Noble we grew up with at Yellow Hill.

I don't know how long this video will be available at WYMT, it may disappear after a few days.

The Babies Get Their Names

While all of the hens were gathered at Jeffery Hen and Henriette's homes, everybody was wondering what they were going to name all of the babies. Jeffery Hen said, "His name is Randall Junior, we are going to nickname him, Roo Junior."

One of the hens said, "Roo Junior sure isn't shy is he?"

Jeffery Hen said, "He chirps all of the time, his daddy had to sleep up in the tree last night becount of it. What is Henriette going to name her boys?"

All of the hens said, "We don't know." Jeffery Hen got up out of her nest and asked all of the hens would they care to go over to Henriette's and ask. They all got up and with the baby behind chirping and running close beside her. When they got to Henriette's house the crowd was bigger then ever before. Roo stopped crowing when the roosters came in with the hunt. Everyone came out to eat.

Henriette and all of the boys came out to join the crowd. Jeffery Hen went over to Henriette and ask her what did she name the boys. She said, "I wanted to name them after their daddy, so Henry and I decided to name them Henley, Hendrix and Henrik.

Spandex Meets Cactus

Yeah, we had a great time on that walk. We even reminisced about a previous walk we had taken when Mom sat down in her maroon spandex pants and Dad raked her butt over a pile of cactus. . . . Good Times.

We decided to take an afternoon walk and Mom couldn't go without trying out her new maroon spandex workout pants. Well I guess all that walking was a workout for her so she decided to take a breather and sit down for a minute. When it was time to head back to the house she asked Dad to help her up and he raked her butt over a pile of cactus that just happend to be in front of her. It was great.

Sorry, no video... just sweet, sweet memories. It was sooo funny.

Jeffery Hen - First Night With the New Baby

Jeffery Hen decided she would just wait till everybody come home for the day and surprise them with the baby. In the meanwhile, she decided she would enjoy the baby all by herself. She cuddled the baby and kissed on it, all of the time. She said, "Randall Junior, I am going to let your daddy announce your arrival tomorrow."  Jeffery Hen knew everybody in the neighborhood was over at Henry's place be-count of the three boys they have.

Shortly, before the sun went down, in came Roo, Bear and Panda. Jeffery Hen tried to act like nothing had happened, she grinned a big grin. Roo said, "What are you smiling about."

Jeffery Hen laughed, "Guess what happened."

Roo said, "The big egg hatched?"

Jeffery Hen said, "No."

She got up from her nest and Roo looked inside of it and saw the baby. To everyone's surprise he flew out of the hen house and up to the top of the treetop. "Jeffery Hen's egg has hatched!"  But everybody was all home for the night. Roo said to himself, "I guess everybody has had a day with those three boys."

Roo flew down out of the tree and went back home. When he got back into the hen house he told Jeffery Hen, "I will spoil the baby tomorrow, I have crowed all day."

That night the baby chirped all night, keeping the family awake. Roo finally decided to sleep out in the tree and so did Bear. The next morning when the sun came up all Roo had to do was just crow. When he did all of the hens gathered over at his house to look at the baby.

Jeffery Hen - Her Egg Hatches

After watching Henriette's chicks for a while, Jeffery Hen thought it was time for her to go home to her egg. She said, "Roo, I'm going home, isn't it time to announce the hatching of the big egg?"

Roo said, "If Henry doesn't want to I will, but it's his chicks."

Jeffery said, "Roo, you do know tomorrow is when our egg will hatch."

Roo said, "Yes Dear, I know that."

While Jeffery Hen was on her way back to the hen house, Roo asked Henry had he announced the hatching of the three boys. Henry said, "No."

Roo said, "Do you want me to announce it? It sure is a big thing happening in Chickenville. Never have I heard of three chicks coming from one egg before."

Henry said, "Sure."

Roo flew up into the top of the highest limb of the redwood tree. "The big egg has hatched and three boys are born!" When Roo got finished announcing the hatching of the big egg, it seemed like every chicken around flocked to the hen house.

While all the chickens were gone, Jeffery Hen's egg was hatching. When the chick hatched out of the egg it was in great wonderment, "Where is everybody!" It ran around in the nest chirping as hard as it can chirp, but nobody heard it. Everyone was gone to watch the big egg hatch. The baby chick was in confusment. It wanted its mommy, it chirped and chirped and it never stopped.

When Jeffery Hen finally got closer to home she started hearing something chirping. She thought one of the chicks Henriette had was following her. She looked around and around but she did not see a chick. She finally noticed the sound was coming from her henhouse.

She yelled really loud, "That must he my baby!"

She flew as fast as she could and, sure enough, it was her baby. It had hatched a day early. She couldn't believe her eyes. It was bigger then either one of the three boys. Jeffery Hen calmed the baby down telling it she was sorry for not being there for it. She said, "Roo is going to be so proud of you, Randall Junior."

Conversations with Mom

Every Saturday, as I am folding laundry, I try to call Mom and talk for at least 30 minutes, unless she gets a beep and then it is shorter. I was talking to Mom a few Saturdays ago and this is the conversation that took place.

Mom: Hello!
Me: Hey Mom, what has been going on this week?

Mom tells me all the happenings on Road Creek for the week. What days they went to the Senior Citizens and what they had to eat. Who went to the doctor and why they went, and the obituary report. After a few minutes we talked about Sherry going to Rite-Aid and her getting dropped off at Clyde's.

Me: Well Mom, what do you do down at Clyde's?
Mom: He shows me pictures that he has on the computer and we talk, he is a really good boy, Clyde is. ( Mom actually said it or I would have not put that statement in here. )
Me: Well what does he have you to eat when you get there?
Mom: Eat?
Me: Yes, like food??
Mom: Nothing.
Me: Well, does he talk about food?
Mom: No.
Me: Well at least I talked about it? Does he have any left over invisible spagetti?
Mom: No. ( laughing that little Mommy laugh )
Me: Well, I tell you what, you need to at least hint around a little.
Mom: Well, the last time I was there I opened the refrigerator by mistake, I guess it is a habit.
Me: Did he take the hint?
Mom: No.
Me: Mom, he is a man, he is expecting you to be the momma bird and put the worm in his mouth, not him share his. ( We both laughed a little .)
Me: The next time you go down there, reach under the cabinet and get a pot and put some water in it and put it on the stove to boil and when he says 'what are you doing?' you say, 'I am waiting for you to put something it that pot I can eat!'
Mom: I am not hungry when I go down there, or we're about to get something ( Mom laughing a little .)
Me: All you have to do Mom, is tell Clyde you're going to call Jennie and tell her you're hungry and I bet Clyde would have you at Applebee's before you could reach the phone on the wall.
Mom: Laughing.

I knew the thought process of Clyde .. It would be better to take Mom to Applebees than to have Jennie race home from work and fix Mommy something to eat!

Florida Halloween 2007

We took Emily and Blair to trick or treat with Amber and Traci's crews in Palatka. The had a blast! We went to a subdivision called Round Lake Park. Most of the houses were decorated and the people were great. I even saw the male counterpart of Meaner there. His wife was giving out candy and he was giving out tooth brushes. I think he is a dentist. We have plenty of candy now, and two very tired children. They loved trick or treat!
