She took a new travel'n job and the old man had to go along to keep track of'r---er, maybe she had me along to keep track of ME! Well anyhow, we're home -tired and just glad to be home! Sick of McDonalds, Waffle House, Quick stops and hamburgers in general. Bring on the SPAM!!!! We were in Central Indiana and Central Ky. at hospitals. She does dexa-scans.

Welcome back, Hoot! Was wonderin where ya've been. Fry ya up some spam and eggs, put your feet up and relax for a spell. Good to see ya with us again, we missed you!

hoot, I've appreciated your posts too though I think this is the first time I've said so.

Anytime you two have to come to Maryland, let me know and maybe we can meet for a cuppa something. My dh is a pastor and I think you two just might find something in common.

Hoot,

What a statement about the national culture when, in an open forum it is felt that a post should bear the WARNING : "CHRISTIAN MATERIAL IMBEDDED WITHIN"! In the brown sack with pornography. Dad gummit, put that light under a bushel! It might hurt the eyes of any accustomed to the dark.

Hi Hoot, thought about you the other day as one of the towns near me just had a spam cook off with free tasting afterward.By the way did you ever find the axe? Your wife is one smart lady and knows how to keep a eye on you. Little dumpling keep up the good work!

Kathy! In kech'n up on some stuff on the forum I ran across your question about the ax. I FOUND IT! It was where I had had it stored- in the pump house-but Lil Dumplin found it I guess. It wasn't exactly where I'd left it and it was keever up with some stuff. Now I'll know whar it's at come warm'r weather. Got bunches of things to trim that my clippers won't handle. If'n I kin jest keep Lil Dumplin busy whilst I "do the dew" thing. Spring will be here shortly along with it comes the RAIN! Thats ok tho, come the middle of June or first of July the rain will most likely stop in these here parts. I'm gett'n an-sy-can't hardly wait to start that Troy Bilt tiller and till up what ole jeep plows with his Gravely rotary plow. Green Beans, onions and MATERS! Don't think I'll put out any corn this year. I don't want the coons or deer to get too fat. hoot. Matt.24:44
