Unfortunately my kids are not grown like Lori's. So, here I must stay.

Take 'em with ya'!!

They're father might have an issue with that.

Besides, California would miss you!

Just wait. One of these days, I am gonna dwell in Cali and it will fall to pieces.

by Ruth Kephart
Take my hand and lead the way;
tell me all you want to say.
Whisper softly in my ear,
all those things I want to hear.
Kiss my lips and touch my skin;
bring out passions deep within.
Pull me close and hold me near;
take away my pain and fear.
In the darkness of the night,
be my beacon, shine your light.
In the brightness of the sun,
show me that you are the one.
Give me wings so I can fly;
for I can soar when you're nearby.
Enter my heart, break down the wall,
it's time for me to watch it fall.
I've been a prisoner, can't you see?
Break my chains and set me free.
Strip me of my armor tight;
you'll find I won't put up a fight.
Release my soul held deep within . . .
I'm ready now, let love begin.

don't tell Ruth Kephart this... but I think her anonymity has been blown...

Thinking about seeing a movie this afternoon.

I'd ask you what movie, but you probably won't answer me. I'm still wondering what you had for your free dinner a while back. But, I asked that twice and still don't know.

Double post....but maybe that's what it takes to get an answer.

No, it doesn't take a double post, you just have to ask while I'm still at the computer.

I'm thinking about going to see "Scott Pilgram vs. The World." Both my niece and nephew said it was hilarious, and my niece specifically said she thought I'd enjoy it. If it wasn't a 26 hour drive, I'd ask if you'd want to go along.

The dinner was a "Farmer's appreciation dinner." I'm a farmer, and it was the first function being held at the new community center our family donated, it even bears Grandpa's name. So, I actually got two invites, one from the bank that was putting it on, and another from the Historical Society where the building is located.

The dinner was BBQ pork sandwiches with baked beans, coleslaw, chips and cookies!! I'm pretty sure I was about 35 years younger than the average age there!! It was a good meal, I got a lot of compliments on the building, and ended up with my picture in the local newspaper. My brother ducked out of the photo, as he saw the guy lining up his shot.

Ruth, if I'm not answering, write me direct, you know I always answer my mail!!

I know...I'm just giving you a hard time. If I really needed to know what you were having for dinner I would have emailed you.

The dinner sounds awesome! Are you gonna scan the picture from the paper so we can see it? Congrats on being a local celebrity for the day!

Well at least this time my pic was in the paper for a good thing!!

It beats a wanted poster in the post office.

Well you know how it is when you're blown :-)

I wrote about 5 things here and erased every single one.
