The other day, the eagles were tearing apart a rodent for their dinner up in the nest... the students were fascinated. It's the Winter Dance Party weekend at the Surf. My daughter happened to be there today and met two of Ritchie Valens' sisters. She also saw the Bopper's son perform Chantilly Lace.

Not for me, it isn't! -Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 17:45:01 (MST) Spacey We always found that a trout net is just the right size, but bats here are small. Mikey, no no no, there are no bats in my belfry. -Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 16:44:28 (MST) Wowa Miss Buns looks a wittle peeved at having to wait so long, nyuk!

So vewy, vewy, vewy, vewy cool. What a great group. What a great gal (Mawty) in Illinois. NORM: Si, I fixed the Swamps TOO WIDE page. The source of the problem was our dear SPACEY'S post with all that stuff with no spaces between it. Oh, she didn't do it intentionally, of course. Something for all the rest of you to note. Never put such a long URL (or something like that) with no spaces that doesn't fit on the pages initial width. It causes a problem. All I had to do was just insert some returns (old terminology equals CARRIAGE RETURNS) and that did the trick. I'll back out of here. Got a few hours in Atlanta airport so wanted fix this thing first. Have a good day, all. -M- -Monday, January 30, 2012 at 14:29:37 (MST) Ray-Honey & Judy And of course our love from Pittsburgh!

Pam xoxoxo -Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 10:28:24 (MST) Spacey He's an angel when he wants to be. Marty, I've heard that you are an absolutely classy lady. Wish I could meet you. I've only met 5 Swampsters. -Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 20:20:26 (MST) Marty Hi everyone. I want to thank Mikey for that beautiful post and and the responses you guys had. It moved me very much. I'm not feeling well these days, and that just lifted my spirits. I want to tell you all something our Mikey did that I'm still amazed at. In December, he flew from California to Illinois where I live and visited me. He just simply got on a plane and flew and stayed at a nearby hotel and came and visited me for a couple of hours the next day. Madonna and my sister and my husband were all here with me and we couldn't believe that he had done it. I still can't believe Mikey, that you came to visit and don't know how to thank you enough. Marty -Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 20:14:43 (MST) JRWolfe RIP: actor Robert Hegyes, best known for playing Juan Epstein on "Welcome Back,Kotter" and Detective Manny Esposito on "Cagney & Lacey." -Friday, January 27, 2012 at 09:58:35 (MST) Rockin' Rosie I'd like her snail mail address too. I want to send her a card also from our family. Anyone know what it is? Madonna? Dis and the kids and I are headed for St. Louis Sunday for brain surgery on Chris. Another one. Please keep him in your prayers. We are confident God will watch over him and that the outcome will give him time with us and his baby daughter. Thanks to everyone for all the good wishes and comfort they have given us in personal email messages. We are so blessed to have the Swampsters on our side against this horrid disease of cancer. Rosalee -Friday, January 27, 2012 at 06:50:42 (MST) Wowa (((Pam))) I've had issues with my email also. I've let some of you know already, but just in case-I will always email you when I send out a joke or anything, so that you know it's me. I had to change my password a couple of weeks ago. Can anyone email me Marty's snail mail addy? I'd like to send her a card. Later taters -Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 19:38:40 (MST) Dis Pam. Give your husband a break. -Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 19:16:07 (MST) Pam T. FogBrat and other friends of the Swamp- I apologize to you all for the weird e-mail you received from my account...my e-mail account has indeed been compromised...not sure how it came about. I'm so sorry! I've had a bad day with computers today, both personal and at work. Plus my husband is mad at me, one of my beautiful school art projects is too heavy to hang, and mostly I feel SO sad about Marty. Time for a group hug. -Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 17:39:31 (MST) FogBrat Sorry for the interruption, folks... PAM...I got a strange email from your hotmail account today that looks like it was legitimately sent from the hotmail server, but it contains only a link that seems dodgy at best (I wouldn't think twice about it if the headers didn't look fairly normal...lots of times email harvesters will use your address, but it's obviously from a server somewhere in China...this is from hotmail's servers, so it makes me suspicious). Please check your email account/password and make sure it hasn't been compromised, email me if you want a copy of what I got with all the headers intact. If it's a legitimate email from you, I apologize. I am sorry to hear about Marty, and wish her and her family the best. We just went through similar issues with our close friends/neighbors, and it's a very difficult time for everyone involved. -Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 13:38:07 (MST) Soaring Nancy ((((MICHAEL)))) Bless you for caring. Marty is indeed one heck of a sweet person, and she has been in my prayers for a long time now are as her precious,close friends Charleen and Madonna. The world is blessed by Marty's sweet presence. Soaring Nancy -Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 01:49:55 (MST) Rockin' Rosie Marty- this is a very good example of her spirit and love for all of those around her. My Chris and I were at the Ft. Smith concert last summer and met with her, Madonna, and Barb. She was so kind to ask so much about Chris and his health. We spent a lot of time talking about our families and how the illness was affecting them. She was so concerned about me. I've met her before but truly realized how very special she was that day. I had heard so many kind and wonderful things about her. None came close to describing the person she was that day. There are not words with enough eloquence to capture that rare and wonderful woman. I love her. I have met few people who inspired me as much as she did. God bless her and her family. She is in our prayers daily. Rosalee -Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 17:48:40 (MST) Jill Though we've never met in person, I've always thought of Marty as a sweet, funny, lovely lady. My heart goes out to her and her family. Michael, I can't imagine that she would object to your post as it came from your heart. I've always known she is special to you and now, everyone else does too. -Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 14:32:11 (MST) JRWolfe RIP:actor James Farentino -Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 14:25:10 (MST) Wobin (Robin) What will get me in from peeking in the windows to talking to the Swampsters? Mawty. She's a doll and I pray for her daily. Hugs to the barkeep for the sweet post for her! -Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 09:34:50 (MST) Eileen (aka Scarlett/Eileeny) Barkeep - Thanks so much for posting about our dear Marty. So many of us continue to send her cards & emails to let her know she is in our hearts & prayers. What a dear, sweet person she is..my BFF, as Mawty would say! We all so wish she could join us this Spring in Jim Thorpe/Lancaster. Eileen -Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 09:01:41 (MST) JRWolfe Prayers to Mawty and her family. -Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 02:13:15 (MST) Andwa, again Marty? A kind and generous spirit if ever there was one. A Lady in every sense of the word. -Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 21:11:19 (MST) Wowajean Barkeep-thanks for the update on Mawty. Please let her know I am thinking of her, she is the sweetest lady around. When I met her several years ago, I found her to be the easiest person in the world to talk to. I haven't been that at ease with anyone since. Later taters -Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 19:48:43 (MST) Barkeep Yes, Spacey ... I'm out here. Just doing home stuff. Heading out for the road this Saturday. For those of you who have let it slip your mind ... our Marty (fan club member Marty White) is home with her husband, Chad and getting hospice care. She is the very best person in the whole wide world. Please acknowledge her struggle as she has been a real joy to all of us and continues to be so. Not sure if she would have wanted me to post this or not. Should have asked her, I suppose. I'll chance it. Now think good stuff for our Nawty Mawty. Sweetest person in the world. -Michael- -Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 17:51:45 (MST) Spacey Thanks, I think. Oh well, LOL. -Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 15:45:48 (MST) JRWolfe You were...unforgettable...Spacey. -Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 11:27:19 (MST) Spacey You were rather fascianting, JR. So was Carolyn. Never did talk to Mark Lindsay that time. Oh well. Say somethin, Gwoper. I know yous out dere. -Monday, January 23, 2012 at 22:29:57 (MST) JRWolfe Like I said,you handled the cold in Portland very well Spacey.... -Monday, January 23, 2012 at 07:23:59 (MST) Spacey I stayed inside the entire day. -Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 11:06:53 (MST) JR Wolfe Spacey,you did cold quite well when we met at the ML concert in Portland ! -Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 07:54:52 (MST) Rockin' Rosie (((Swampsters))) It's been a long, dry spell since I had a drink here at the swamp so I thought I'd mosey on in. Weather, it's going to be 61 here today. Where is winter??? About a week ago we got a dusting of snow. Lily doesn't remember last year so she was really excited to see snow. She was beside herself wanting to see a snowman, but 1/2 inch of snow just isn't enough. Where is Miss Buns, anyway? Glad Eli is getting a good education. Lily and I have been dancing while we bake and clean the house the last few days. Those of you who are FB friends will see the videos and pictures there this morning. I'm trying to keep her as happy and sassy as I can. Her Developmental Pediatrician asked me last week if she was always this happy. "Yep." That's the reason her daddy and I get up in the morning, to make her the happiest, most loved little ballerina in the world. Chris needs your prayers. Another surgery is on the horizon. Things aren't going well and I am burning the candles at both ends trying to maintain a 'normal' life for he and Lily while preparing for the worst, so please include a prayer that I have the strength to not only endure, but do it magnificently. Nothing less will do in this situation. Don't say anything on FB about this, please. Your prayers and happy thoughts have supported me through so much already. Thank you for your love and kindness over the last 2 years. This last year has been especially hard, but if right prevails and the world somehow becomes a fair and just place, all will work out. Take care and God bless you guys. Love, Rosalee -Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 06:42:09 (MST) JRWolfe RIP: Etta James, best known for her hit ,"At Last," she had a long career as a recoring/touring blues artist. I just bought her newest CD " The Dreamer ' this week and its an instant classic. Her last year was full of medical problems ranging from leukemia to dementia to Hep C. She was placed in hospice just before Christamas 2011. -Friday, January 20, 2012 at 10:12:36 (MST) MAD4TDN Farewell to Johnny Otis ... love those blues guys! Reminds me of B.B. King's quote: "If you don't love the blues ... then why you talkin' to me?" -Friday, January 20, 2012 at 08:01:19 (MST) Spacey -22.7 C + -8.86F, or -22.7F = -30.39C It's enver been below 0F in reocrded history here. I don't do cold. -Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 13:23:57 (MST) JRWolfe RIP:Johnny Otis..blues/R&B singer/pianist/bandleader/composer famous for "Willie & The Hand Jive," Every Beat Of My Heart," and " Harlem Nocturne." Alumni of his band include Etta James ,The Coasters and his son,blues guitarist Shuggie Otis. Johnny Otis produced and arranged Big Mama Thornton's hit "Hound Dog" ,a year before Elvis covered it. He also had a radio show for decades in California. -Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 11:28:40 (MST) Andwa, again Spacey: It's -22.77 here for you Canadians. Wanna trade? Yes, the other shoe has dropped here in the northland. Still not much snow, but the cold has hit and hit hard! We went from being in the 30s and 40s to almost overnight being in below zero weather with wind chill advisories. Yikes! Fire up the hot tub, barkeep! Chef, an order of chili fries, if you please. I need to thaw out. Andra -Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 08:41:37 (MST) Spacey Minus 8 out this am, or 17.6 in American. And it's worse in Seattle. I'm going to bed. Goodnight. -Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 04:26:15 (MST) Andwa, again https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/ -Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 16:44:28 (MST) Spacey Is Madonna really old enough to be a grandmother? She doesn't look it. -Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 23:31:19 (MST) Pam T. MadMo- My daughter is also first chair trumpet (6th grade)...she has her first honor band competition this weekend! Andwa- Thanks for the eagle link. Aren't they fascinating? This is the time of year they hang out in our stretch of the river, so currently I see them out my window on a daily basis. Rob- Eli is such a great name for a pup. I know of one other TDN fan who has a dog named Eli...and that is one dog with some major personality! -Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 14:50:43 (MST) MAD4TDN Yeah, many of us here spend a good amount of our time talking about ... writing about ... traveling to see ... and hanging out with some pretty spectacular musicians and I just felt like sharing what good company we are in! -Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 09:32:36 (MST) Famous Rob First of all, I think its cool to hear aobut the rest of the swampersterss joys, like Mads, Trumpet playing kin,,,,cool and also the support everyone gives when times are tough, more cool... Absolutely the most boring January ever, no snow, no freezing of the brass balls on monkeys, nosliding htrough stops signs and no 3 dog night shows. Now with that being said, if you have ever heard of the duo "Williams and Ree" I wish to dedicate their song, "Died with his Ding Dong in his Hand" to the Hostess Company. Twinkies to you all and a late Ho Ho to Yall! Wiener Whistle Choir Practice at the Swamp on Saturday. Andwa, Puppy Eli is sure proud of you mastering text messaging, what next? Stilt walking or Zip Lining? Honey Bear Says hey! Greetings to all, Norm get some pickeled herring on on the bar and I am goiong to have my Bushmills on the rocks. Mikey, mix up a Modesto Mickey for all the ladies! Lights out here come the Grwopettes! Sail On Sailor! Robbo -Monday, January 16, 2012 at 19:30:12 (MST) MAD4TDN We went to our grandson’s All Regional Band concert this past weekend, where he was honored to be First Chair, Trumpet for this Region. It was great and the guest Director talked about musicians and what she said made sense. If she needed to hire someone, she would always choose the candidate who participated in band because: 1) Musicians are more dependable (because they have to be!) 2) Musicians are more organized (because they have to be!) 3) Musicians are more disciplined (because they have to be!) and 4) Musicians put in a lot of hours (because they have to!) I left the school auditorium with a smile and a greater respect for those who provide us with beautiful music! -Monday, January 16, 2012 at 15:43:16 (MST) Andwa, again Rob: Got your pic. He's a cutie! -Sunday, January 15, 2012 at 20:32:27 (MST) Packers Maybe next year. -Sunday, January 15, 2012 at 18:18:46 (MST) Andwa, again Pam: This one's for you. Papa Eagle shows intruder the door in no uncertain terms. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Oc0q4pzsDA&feature=youtu.be -Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 17:49:34 (MST) Pam T. Must be Friday the 13th...so much drama this AM in first grade. First a Justin Bieber doll (visiting for show and tell) went missing. He turned up later in the morning in the office. At lunch, a child who started with a loose front tooth ended lunch with the tooth gone and no idea what had happened. Had to assure the child the tooth fairy accepts written notes. Also several incidents of "bucking" desk chairs...child just can't imagine how he ended up on the floor! Hoping for a quieter afternoon in the library. Have agreat weekend, Swampsters! -Friday, January 13, 2012 at 11:28:00 (MST) Wowa I always used to watch The Rifleman, and I still can find that occasionally on one of the retro channels. This morning it was Mr. Ed (who sounds remarkably like my uncle,lol), and Patty Duke. Good luck with Ms. Buns Mikey. I'm looking forward to see how she turns out. (It's COLD today, she'd need long johns on here). Ya'all be careful out there! -Friday, January 13, 2012 at 05:35:26 (MST) Spacey In other words, Mikey is going to play with her buns. -Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 13:03:50 (MST) Barkeep Drat! I'm shirking my duties. Miss Buns is outta date. Gonna feed my dawgs here at home and then make a run at updating her buns ... so to speak. -M- -Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 12:48:53 (MST) Norm Once Again Thankyou unknown poster but if you look below your post I corrected my error.

You remember what Thor said to Loki ? "You roll the dice you pay the price." Listen Rock dude a field mouse can run fast and low but an Owl can see in the dark. Miss Buns called again asking if she can join the new year. (nyuk) Okay y'all If you have not heard America is in a big crisis. The company that makes Twinkies, Ding Dong's and Ho Ho's is back in chapter eleven. So far they are still making then delightful healthy American foods but as Walter said to Rusty "We better load up on ammo and beef jerky cause there's alot of riding to do and the trail is long." In other words stock up big time. Okay Mikey time for you to give us a Josey Wales spit of your chawin tabackie. Don't get any juice on you when you are watching those westerns. Just open a window and let it fly. A hard task when one is laying on the sofa. May I suggest a LAY Z Boy that way your head is up high for better aim and you can also see if any desperado's are comming in the upright position. IT IS ONLY A REAL WESTERN WHEN IT's Hoppy, Jean and Roy !!!! nyuk NL (Norm) NWO -Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 23:27:30 (MST) Pam T. Susan-I agree with you on Cheyenne, but the guy I thought was the coolest was "Lucas McCain" aka Chuck Connors as The Rifleman. -Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 19:16:19 (MST) Andwa, again I've always been partial to the Maverick boys...all of them. :-) -Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 19:15:07 (MST) JRWolfe Love Bonanza...but Gunsmoke had a much better looking saloon owner. -Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 19:01:10 (MST) Susan (Colorado) Greetings - I had such a little girl crush on Clint Walker aka Cheyenne. Tall, dark, handsome & a cowboy. Wow! -Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 18:11:26 (MST) Tip for the day: If you use a ballpoint pen to scratch your back, make sure the tip is covered. :-( -Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 16:22:32 (MST) Pam T. When I came home from school today, I found my husband watching Bonanza, as usual... must be the choice of rock dudes and retired teachers/painters. We're back to reality. Snow and high winds into tomorrow. -Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 16:04:41 (MST) Barkeep JR: I'm turning into Richard Nixon. It's said that he used to love watching old reruns of Bonanza. -M- -Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 15:50:53 (MST) JRWolfe Hey Barkeep, you been sipping beer with Sam and Miss Kitty at the Longbranch ? Lovin the block of old Gunsmoke episodes daily on Encore Westerns. -Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 14:42:46 (MST) Barkeep Hi All. TWWolf: It's worse than that. I spend a lot of my tv watching viewing ENCORE WESTERNS. Si, tis twue. All those Warner Brothers ones like Have Gun Will Travel, Cheyenne, Lawman, Maverick, Wanted Dead or Alive, etc. Every now and then my friend Wright King appears in those. I just loved Wright. Still do. -M- -Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 12:15:22 (MST) Wowa Spacey-should that have read "picsed" off, nyuk! My sister is a Pisces too, maybe I should call her and see how she's doing. Hope all you Picses are having a better day. My code says "jam", think I'll take my cd player to work, and do just that! -Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 05:22:21 (MST) Andwa, again Pam: It was good while it lasted. -Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 18:30:34 (MST) Pam T. Hey Minnesotans! Are you enjoying ANOTHER beauteous day? Tom not only rode his motorcycle today, but he also played some golf!!! Not typical for January in this neck of the woods. Looks like it will all change tomorrow.... -Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 15:06:13 (MST) Spacey ...uh, that should have read "Pisces"... -Monday, January 09, 2012 at 01:21:06 (MST) Spacey Leave Mikey alone..... the astrologer on tv yesterday said us Pices are cranky and we have reason to be. Thing are going to get better, and we are pissed off very easily these days. SNARK! -Monday, January 09, 2012 at 01:20:03 (MST) Pam T. Good gwacious! I also need to say hello to TW Wolf, not to be confused with JR Wolfe. I've been exposed to a lot of paint fumes this weekend....have mercy. -Sunday, January 08, 2012 at 20:55:33 (MST) Northern Light Hey JR Howbout them Bronco's. I am glad Pittsburg is out. Don't care much for them. SWAMPSTERS !!!!! They say the world as we know it will come to an end later this year on December 21st. I can't say that it's right or wrong we shall see in time. Speaking of "End" or more like "Buns" a participant of this site has been left neglected and all alone. Sorta left to fend for one's self. And it's the ONE that's in question. In the past the date on Miss Buns has been promptly changed to start off the new year. Alas or is that ALASS (Nyuk) we got an outa date Miss Buns missing a two and stuck on a one. A tradition gone astray. Miss Buns has graced this site for many a year. Is her "end" come to an end ? I respectfully enter a plea for her saving and for her right cheek to get the right number she deserves. Come on for the love of God. Lets get with the times and Mikey needs to climb out of his spider hole Spanky and Our Gang place and make it right. We will then be able to begin a new year a new chapter with a part of the family here in the swamp. God bless you all. God Bless America and protect and preserve your presious bodily fluids. NL (Norm) NWO -Sunday, January 08, 2012 at 20:21:48 (MST) Pam T. Hey JR! Hello to you from one of the wimmens. The streak of incredibly nice winter weather continues. Today I went on a walk with my husband around town for about an hour. The sky was so blue, the sun felt warm on our backs, and there was no wind... a perfect day to get outside and enjoy nature. A few days ago we attended the funeral of our 86 year old neighbor. I knew Barney was a WW II vet and had participated in an honor flight to Washington DC last year. At the visitation in the funeral home, we found out that Barney was involved in some truly interesting escapades during his time in France and Germany. He was a paratrooper who saw a lot of combat...thankfully he returned home without serious injuries. What I thought was really unique was that he brought his silk parachute home and it was used to make his bride's wedding gown! Of course, the family joked about the location of the rip-cord on the dress. Anyhow, Barney was a good man...rest in peace. -Sunday, January 08, 2012 at 16:20:35 (MST) TWWolf Just thought I'd swing by and say hello to you wimmens. Gwover is incognito these days, just sitting around, counting his navel hairs (what a disgusting thought THAT is) and watching "The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet." You can do that in the Twilight Zone, can't you, Hobart? -Sunday, January 08, 2012 at 02:57:36 (MST) White Indian Happy belated New Year everyone !! In the Swamp...its 60 here in Nashville. have a great weekend.....Lorna -Saturday, January 07, 2012 at 10:33:28 (MST) JRWolfe Susan..its nice to know that my neighbor to the south is enjoying similiar warm weather as we are just a few miles north :) -Friday, January 06, 2012 at 10:02:24 (MST) Susan (Colorado) Greetings - Nice in Colorado too.

Temp is 52 up here. In January. In Minnesota. WOW! -Thursday, January 05, 2012 at 14:34:47 (MST) Pam T. It's a beautiful day here in the midwest. I bet it's about 60 degrees! Glad my afternoon includes an outing in the community with the first graders. My hubby is washing a car and says he's going to take a ride on his motorcycle. Very unusual for January. Gotta go before the natives get restless..... -Thursday, January 05, 2012 at 11:22:40 (MST) JRWolfe RIP: Larry "Rhino " Reinhart (Iron Butterfly,Captain Beyond) and Fred Milano of Dion & The Belmonts (he stayed with the Belmonts for decades after Dion left ). -Wednesday, January 04, 2012 at 14:54:59 (MST) Spacey You cannot see what's up if he has his back to you. -Tuesday, January 03, 2012 at 23:52:54 (MST) Andwa, again New tour dates announced, but still nothing up here. :-( Gwopettes--keep an eye out for any show you think might work for a Gwopette gathering. -Tuesday, January 03, 2012 at 17:18:23 (MST) Famous Rob Greetings and Happy NEW YEAR We are fine Robbo, Honeybear and baby puppy ELI!

You doing alright, Mikey? -Tuesday, December 27, 2011 at 23:14:53 (MST) Andwa, again From the Mayo Clinic: We were deeply saddened this morning to learn of the loss of Luis Bonilla, M.D., a Mayo Clinic cardiac surgeon, and David Hines, a Mayo Clinic procurement technician. They were on board a helicopter flight from our campus in Florida, along with the pilot, to procure a heart for a Mayo Clinic transplant patient when the helicopter crashed. There were no survivors. Our deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers go out to the families of Dr. Bonilla and Mr. Hines, as well as the family of the pilot. This is a great loss to Mayo Clinic and to the transplant community. We know that our transplant procurement staff put themselves at risk each day to offer the hope of a life-saving transplant to some of our patients in greatest need. As we mourn this tragic event, we will remember the selfless and intense dedication they brought each day to making a difference in the lives of our patients. -Tuesday, December 27, 2011 at 15:31:44 (MST) Starwight Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.

Donna -Saturday, December 24, 2011 at 13:07:15 (MST) Andwa, again We just had a small band of snow move through. Looks like we're having more of a beige Christmas than brown. ;-) If I don't get back on line, y'all have a great Christmas!! Big hugs to you all, most especially to our beloved (((barkeep)))!! XOXO Andra -Friday, December 23, 2011 at 16:11:56 (MST) Soaring Nancy Apparently there are a few holiday traditions I am not aware of. I have just reached three e-mails with a subject line of "Christmas is coming; Get Viagra." Hmmm, given how tired I am, this may take more effort than baking another batch of cookies! Hope you are all enjoying the fun of the season--if you aren't, then by golly, go out and make some! Happy holidays to you all. Soaring Nancy -Thursday, December 22, 2011 at 12:54:09 (MST) Susan (Colorado) Peace on Earth and Goodwill to All - We are going to have a beautiful white Christmas this year ! Best wishes to all the Swampsters this holiday. May you love and be loved. May you find joy and happiness this season and throughout the new year. Merry Christmas !! PS - saw on Facebook that New Year's Rockin' Eve is celebrating its 40th year & a clip from the first broadcast with Three Dog Night will be included. Celebrate !! -Thursday, December 22, 2011 at 06:33:25 (MST) Pam T. Wow, isn't it great to see Three Dog Night shows scheduled into October of next year? I LOVE it!!! So far nothing in my area- Hope you are all enjoying some Feliz Navidad. I've tried really hard to stay on Santa's good side this year. We will likely have a brown Christmas as most of the snow that fell earlier this month has melted. I'm OK with it. -Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 19:35:01 (MST) Space Cadet I finally saw Sea Biscut tonight. I remember all those years ago Mickey was cahtting it upon here aobut the book. I can't remember, was it a real story? Maybe I should try and take out the book when I get my other knee done next spring. -Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 00:03:21 (MST) JRWolfe Hell has frozen over,after years of lawsuits and bad feelings (to say the least ). The Beach Boys are going on a reunion tour next year and recording an all new CD with all the living original members : Brian Wilson,Mike Love,Al Jardine,Bruce Johnston and David Marks. Hmm, wonder if this will start a trend ? We can only hope. -Friday, December 16, 2011 at 15:40:49 (MST) Andwa, again She was only a whiskey-maker, but he loved her still. -Friday, December 16, 2011 at 14:51:48 (MST) JRWolfe Hey Barkeep, yes I meant that Hubert sumlin was the guitarist for Howlin Wolf,played aon all those great Chess lps. Afer Chester "Howlin Wolf" Burnette died ,Hubert forged a solo career..I saw him last year in Phoenix at the Rhythm Room backed by James Cotton and Kim Wilson's Fabulous Thunderbirds.Unbelievable picker. Mick Jagger and Keith Richard of the Rolling Stones are poaying 100% of Hubert's funeral expenses. Now THATS being a class act. They both worked with Hubert on Howlin Wolf's "London Sesions" lp and Keith backed Hubert as a sideman on some of Huberts solo CDs :) -Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 16:16:34 (MST) Andwa, again Rob: Sorry to read about Hans, and I'm hoping Kosmo pulls through. We do get quite attached to our pets, don't we? -Monday, December 12, 2011 at 21:21:40 (MST) JOY4U Great show in Reno!!! Michael ...so wonderful to see you. Happy Holidays! Gail -Monday, December 12, 2011 at 08:58:20 (MST) Rockin' Rosie Well, I snuck through the back door again to take a peek at what's been going on. Colleen, Happy belated birthday! Col. Potter? Darn! Love that guy's work. Drift away is still one of my all time favorite songs. It's so funny how music can enhance your life, even if you aren't a musician. I love Drift Away because of it's words and melody. A great song that defines how I feel about music in general. Rob, sorry to hear of your problems with your dogs. Animals are so important to us. I finally found a good home for Sadie. She will be an only cat and she will get more attention than should be allowed by law. I will miss her sweet meow in the morning and her purring while she sits on my lap. I just don't have time to pet her much anymore and it's a kinder thing to give her up to someone who does. My little sister is adopting her so I can visit often. I will still miss being her Mommy, though. Speaking of parental duties, Chris went into the hospital the day after Lily arrived home. He was in for 6 days now. He is home with oxygen and home health care. He doesn't have any white blood cells because of the chemotherapy so he got Lily's upper respiratory infection and took it to a whole new level. He is better and although we had a trip to the ER last night, is home and watching cartoons with Lily this morning. I guess we are not expected to get a white Christmas this year. 40's here during the day. I will trade all of this "beautiful" weather for some white stuff. Ya'll that are tired of it, send it to Oklahoma. We love it here. Well, up to a point. Okay, Kids. That's about it for the week. I hope to get some time to drop by again soon. I miss our parties. Aren't we due for another since it's the season to be merry? I'll take a Jingle Bell, Barkeep! Take care and God bless All, Rosalee -Monday, December 12, 2011 at 07:49:24 (MST) Barkeep I think I misunderstood what JR posted. I thought he was saying that Hubert Sumlin was DobIe Gray's Guitarist. Sorry for my mistake. -M- -Sunday, December 11, 2011 at 11:26:42 (MST) Famous rob Hope everyone else is doing well. Its been a while, lots of ups and downs. Did some traveling,the lost a dear uncle two weeks ago, one of our dogs Hans went to the great kennel in the sky unexpectedly earlier in fall, and now Kosmo our Scotty has cancer, so that has dulled us a bit. We did get a vacation in, and while we adopted a puppy after Hans passed away earlier in fall, having this with Kosmo has been a bit much. He is doing a bit better after collapsing 10 days ago and going thorough 2 days of tests we got teh bad news …he had never been sick a day in 11 years and now the clock is ticking for him. The new pup is a 12 week old Scottie and Honeybear named him Eli after Eli’s Coming. Kosmo seems to like him but sad to think our time with him is short now, He is such a good fellow I am also really hating this winter weather… Hope all of you are doing well, I need a 3dn show! Robbo -Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 20:32:58 (MST) Spacey I wasn't 12 pounds at birth, but I've made up for it! Hi Mikey!!!!!! Wowa, I can't find your phone number. I kneed it to phone you. -Friday, December 09, 2011 at 00:05:55 (MST) Pam T. I'm feeling like a new woman!!! After dealing with being disconnected to the internet more often than not for the last month, we had a new modem installed today and all is right with the world again. Re: John Wayne. We drove by his humble birthplace just after Thanksgiving. Did you know the Duke weighed twelve pounds at birth? Always a big guy. We were hit with 5 inches of heavy wet snow last weekend... quickly regaining the winter driving skills. I thought it was beautiful when it fell Saturday night but I'm ready for it to melt. -Thursday, December 08, 2011 at 16:30:10 (MST) Barkeep Hubert Sumlin: Damn, that was the guy who did those premier 2 note parallel harmony fill guitar licks that set a style/genre all its own among us guitar players. Hell of a player. Hell of a loss. Harry Morgan: And don't forget Sheriff/Marshall Thibedeau ("with an H") in John Waynes last one, "The Shootist." Fantastic career. Course, he will always be Sherman Potter above all else, me thinks. Heck, he was even in that old black and white movie with Henry Fonda and (_) where a group of cowboys/vigelantes decided to take the law in their own hands (oh, that's different) and hang this guy ... who was innocent, by the way. What the heck was that actors name? He did a twilight zone as well and had many leading roles in movies back in the 40s. Dana Andrews, yeh that's the name. He was the one who got hanged. Anyway, Harry Morgan was in that one, too. Harry was one of the real Hollywood stars when it's all said and done. R.I.P. and thanks for the memories. -Allsap- -Thursday, December 08, 2011 at 10:47:33 (MST) JRWolfe RIP: Singer Dobie Gray ("Drift Away ") guitarist Hubert Sumlin ( played lead for Howlin Wolf and had several solo CDs ) and soul singer Howard Tate ( "Get It While You Can." ) -Wednesday, December 07, 2011 at 13:13:04 (MST) JRWolfe RIP Harry Morgan...he worked opposite Elvis and many others in a long film career,butmy first memory of him was in "December Bride" and "Pete & Gladys" as Pete, his time on Dragnet...and ,as stated by others, his Col Sherman Potter on M*A*S*H . -Wednesday, December 07, 2011 at 12:51:56 (MST) Northern Light R.I.P. HENRY MORGAN . Passed away today at age 96. He was great in his rolls in Dragnet (Remember that one kids ?) and of course M*A*S*H to name a few. He will always be our Col. Potter. Also today remember those who fell at Pearl Harbor and our countries entry into WW II. WARNING TO MIKEY. MAJOR SHRINKAGE REPORT IN Bendover....err I mean Wendover NV. THAT IS ALL.

Last night we finally got our Thanksgiving Dinner. I was in the hospital with Baby Lily from Wednesday until Sunday. She has an upper respiratory virus and ear infection that caused her ears to bleed. It was gruesome. We all have this ugly virus now. It's bad. Lots of kiddies in the hospital with it here in Tulsa. We must have contacted it on the plane because Lily was starting to get sick Sunday in Dallas. In any event, we are home now and last night ate the beast (roast turkey), sweet potato casserole, dressing, potatoes, gravy, rolls, green bean casserole, and cranberry dressing. Yummy! No new earthquakes to report. We have been on solid ground for a few weeks now. Ya'll take care during your holiday shopping to wipe your paws after touching the carts at the stores. Stay warm and dry. Happy HOlidays! Rosalee -Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at 10:30:17 (MST) tap tap tap........... Is this thing on? -Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at 10:13:52 (MST) Pam T. Hey TDN goilfriends! Appreciated all the Thanksgiving greetings, even one from Canada! We spent an unusual Thanksgiving (for us) in KC. My son had to work that day, so we had a dinner with him when he arrived home. We toured the beautifully lit Plaza area later that night. The next day we took a look around the TV station where he works and had Minsky's pizza for lunch. DELICIOUS!!! Have you ever been to Minsky's, Rob? It's back to school tomorrow...have a great week everyone! No snow yet and I'm not complaining. -Sunday, November 27, 2011 at 20:53:04 (MST) TOMORROW 6:00A.M. -Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 20:30:57 (MST) Andwa, again Going to brother's house tomorrow for Thanksgiving. I also volunteered to work a half day tomorrow evening. I may not have a chance to get on the computer, so I wanted to wish all Swampsters and Dogs a very happy Thanksgiving! For those of you who may be traveling, be careful and stay safe! (((Mike))) Andra -Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 17:38:22 (MST) Ligress Hi all. Just popping by to wish each and all a most warm and wonderful Thanksgiving. Life for us has been over-the-top busy but do think of you all here, often. My son became engaged after almost nine! years together with his fiance', (they were just 15 years old when they met),and a wedding is in the planning stages for next year. Mum is anxious and very happy! They are true soulmates. My best wishes and blessings, everyone. Prayers for our Troops. Love, Cindy P.S. long time no see, Michael. Hoping for a show in my neck of the woods, next year. Oh, btw, has anyone had the 'whipped cream' flavored vodka (Pinnacle)? A new must for the Swamp. Great for the holidays. Not the girly drink you may think!! Trust me. Lol!! -Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 12:30:07 (MST) Andwa, again Blasted computers are down at work again!!! Can't pull in any jobs, so we're just sitting here wasting time. Been almost an hour now. Still waiting for the techs to give us the all clear so we can get back to work. What really burns me is that we'll have to make up this time even though it was not our fault and there was nothing we could do about it! This rarely ever happened when we worked on site but is almost a weekly occurrance since being sent home. Oh yeah, that was such a good idea. NOT! (grumbling) -Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 22:22:34 (MST) Spacey It's Floyd's birthday today. I think he's 69. Floyd, have a good one! -Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 22:21:45 (MST) MAD4TDN Glad you all liked the newsletter ... the fans love this band and send awesome stuff ... wonderful people ... wonderful band! Oooooh, the Vick's 44 ... (cough, cough) I liked it but in small doses! I love books in any format ... hard copies ... adore my Kindle ... just lay it on me any way you want to! My youngest g-daughter surprised me when she was in First grade. They were talking about books and she quoted me: "My Grammy said that books are your friends because they can take you anywhere!" Her teacher was way impressed and I was so pleased that she listened and remembered!!! -Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 15:01:20 (MST) WED. 2A.M. -Monday, November 21, 2011 at 19:33:25 (MST) Andwa, again Vacation's over; back to work. Ho hum. -Monday, November 21, 2011 at 16:24:15 (MST) Rockin' Rosie Andwa, Well, it was a really great time at Disney. Didn't get to the concert. We were just too tired to rock after 5 days there. The baby got to see the princesses by herself for about 20 minutes. They shut the door after us and let her play with them. She learned to curtsy and wave like a princess. I cried. People stopped us all over the park to take her photo. She was wearing a spectacular blue Cnderella dress and velvet cape, a crown, scepter, and had her hair fixed just like Cinderella's. You can say that I go overboard, but it works. The Disney staff gave us free photos of her and the princesses and she got to make her own Mickey Mouse Crispy Treat and decorate it. What a sweet deal. She also was in the Lion King parade at Animal Kingdom. She and Daddy had a blast. Grandma is tired and ready for a nice, long nap. It was 70 in Dallas this morning when we left, and 39 just a few hours later when we arrived home. Brrrr.... I don't mind. I love snow and ice and cold weather. We are having chicken and dumplings for supper. Just the thing to warm up the night. Glad all is well here at the Swamp. Good to catch up. I need to read the newsletter. 9 days without internet and I feel like it's been a month. Take care and God bless. Rosalee -Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 16:12:14 (MST) Famous Rob Greetings from suny warm Tempe, Az.Son and daughter-in-law competing in Arizona Ironman here on Sunday, Me and Honeybear cheering and drinking beer that is all. Okay choir coz if I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener...everyone would be in LOVE WITH ME! yeah Thank You and good night!!!!!!!! -Friday, November 18, 2011 at 16:23:10 (MST) Andwa, again Snow? Really? Hadn't heard. Hmmm...might be a good time to stay indoors. Maybe recaulk the bathtub or assemble the bed I bought 2 years ago and is still leaning against the wall or clean out the basement or disassemble the broken computer or, or, or...ad infinitum. Oh yes, exiting times in the Edgar household. Mike and Rosie: Hope you have a good time in FL. Wanted to go but just couldn't afford it. Well, I'd best get a move on and get something done. Be well Swampsters! Andra -Friday, November 18, 2011 at 08:49:19 (MST) Northern Light Regarding new movies.....one word MUPPETS. Ya gotta love that !!! Eh Mikey !! NL (Norm) NWO -Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 23:59:56 (MST) Pam T. Another movie that looks interesting is War Horse. I just got the book for the library and it was checked out before I could get a chance to look it over. Looks like my neighbors to the north in Minnesota may be in for a bit of snow this weekend...it's been such a pleasant fall, really hate to think about the cold and snow. -Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 20:55:26 (MST) JRWolfe Just read the newsletter....the new CD is getting closer to release ?? Did I read that right ! -Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 07:42:00 (MST) SAT. 8:00A.M. -Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 18:57:33 (MST) Wowa THAT IS WHAT I'D TRULY LOVE TO BEEEE....take it Rob!

Edgar -- good movie. -Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 18:32:08 (MST) Famous Rob Lots of Leaping at Lambeau. 9-0 Way to GO! Green Bay! Glad to be part of Packer Nation! Joy to the World! Robbo -Monday, November 14, 2011 at 21:44:20 (MST) Colleen MICHAEL, What a nice picture of you, Jesse, and his wife in the newsletter! Jesse is just as handsome as his dad! Great job, MadMo and Barbara! Colleen -Monday, November 14, 2011 at 13:10:59 (MST) Pam T. Andwa: Nope... no FB for me. I'm sure I'd be that far too much, but know I would enjoy it! -Monday, November 14, 2011 at 06:27:54 (MST) Andwa, again Pam T: Are you on Facebook now? -Sunday, November 13, 2011 at 21:13:26 (MST) Famous Rob Wienermobile Siting, Sunday, 11/13/2011 8:50 AM I-94 East Bound, 20 miles east of Madison, Wi , headed toward Milwaukee.

ALL TOGEHTER NOW...ooooooooHHHHHH i WIHS i WAS AN OSCAR MEYER WIENER....... That is all Robbo -Sunday, November 13, 2011 at 21:11:54 (MST) Pam T. WOW! I saw the view from the drum camera for the Dayton show! Very impressive. I'm not able to view the newsletter yet...just have to be patient. Looking forward to reading that. Thanks Madonna, Barbara, and Paul! -Sunday, November 13, 2011 at 18:20:33 (MST) Dis Thanks Madonna, Barbara and Paul for another great newsletter. You can see a lot of effort goes into it and it is appreciated. Congradulations Susan (Colorado) on your 100th concert! Dis -Sunday, November 13, 2011 at 16:50:21 (MST) Barkeep DAYTON, OH: And it WAS a muy beautiful venue ... with a wonderful audience. Had WAY fun. -M- -Sunday, November 13, 2011 at 14:50:10 (MST) Andwa, again Looks like you had a packed house in Dayton, Mike! Wish I could've been there. -Sunday, November 13, 2011 at 00:45:34 (MST) OhDonna Blessings to all veterans and service people on this Veterans Day! Also, 11~11~11 is a truly magical day in our Universe! Powerful vibrational energy shifts happening today -- a good day to send up blessings and wish for positive things to unfold in your life. Peace to all, Donna -Friday, November 11, 2011 at 12:00:24 (MST) Northern Light Yo Mikey.....HEY BARKEEP !!!! Smokin Joe's son's name is Mavis and his daugter name is Jacqui Frazier- Lyde. Joe was da Man..yes sir. R.I.P. Joe. Hey Mr Allsup you's lookin tip top today. How yous is ??? If anyone of you need me or want to get in touch I will be poolside at the "M". Alcohol is the answer ! I just can't remember the question. Nyuk Hey Wowa !!! NL (Norm) NWO -Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 23:25:05 (MST) OhDonna Oooh, I wish that Deadwood was closer to California! I have wanted to visit there ever since the HBO series "Deadwood" first aired. Would love to explore that historic town, while also having a chance to see TDN. Enjoy anyone lucky enough to attend! Donna -Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 18:40:59 (MST) Andwa, again I'm gonna pass on that Deadwood show. Too far to drive that time of year. If the weather should go bad, I could wind up in real trouble. Better safe than sorry (though I will be sorry to miss you, Mike, and the guys). Too bad, cuz I've wanted to visit that area for a long time. Just bad timing. I hope whoever does go has a great time!! -Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 18:35:00 (MST) Barkeep J.R.: Was it Marvin or Marvis Frasier? I'm not sure. -M- -Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 15:19:03 (MST) Barkeep I am SO looking forward to getting back to Deadwood. I love that place. Joe Frasier: Indeed. One of the very best. Condolences to his son (Marvin) and family members. Joe was a truly great fighter. -Michael- -Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 15:18:05 (MST) Andwa, again Anyone considering going to the Deadwood, SD show, tickets are on sale now. Check out the casino's website. http://www.deadwoodmountaingrand.com/ -Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 10:22:32 (MST) JRWolfe RIP: Smokin' Joe Frazier,one of the top ten bokers of all time. -Monday, November 07, 2011 at 21:32:07 (MST) Wowa I love books, too! Have them all over my house, and just when I think I have all of them on shelves, I find more. I would be willing to try a kindle, but electronics and I don't always get along. So far, this computer hasn't given me fits like my previous ones (knocking on wood), I'm hoping it stays that way. -Sunday, November 06, 2011 at 19:26:49 (MST) Rockin' Rosie Rockin' in Oklahoma this weekend. We had earthquakes that woke me up! There was a 4.7 Saturday morning at 2 and another 5.6 last night. We are still going through aftershocks. Every time I pass by one of the pictures, it's crooked. Funny. I just wish these things would hit in the daytime. It scares the beegeez outta you when you are sound asleep and the walls are creeking and the bed is shaking across the floor. The windows were rattling last night. THAT was scary. We had an aftershock a while ago that felt like a hard thump and sounded like a boom outside. You Californian's will laugh at all the excitement here, but we aren't used to all of this motion. Nothing feels olid here anymore. My first time in an earthquake and second time in two days! I have been to California several times and was disappointed that I didn't get an earthquake while I was there. Well, I could do without them now, thank you very much. A lot of time has passed since I visited. We are Christmas decorating because we will be in Disney until alomost Thanksgiving and then visiting family and appointments almost every day until Christmas. Mostly because it's a blast, though. Finally got the kitchen remodeled and headed stright into the Christmas stuff. Hope all is well here at the Swamp. Life as we know it goes on with the exception of a shake, rattle, and roll occassionally. Glad to hear the trip to Southern Texas went well. I say we all scream, CRUISE! CRUISE! CRUISE! until someone hears us. Take care and God bless. Rosalee -Sunday, November 06, 2011 at 19:09:44 (MST) Soaring Nancy ANDWA AND PAM I share your love of books. Andwa's description of traveling to exotic places and meeting different characters via books is ever so true. Kindle books???!!! NO WAY. I want the pleasure of holding a REAL book in my hands. After my mother passed, I brought back a lot of books my parents had. Though I gave away 100 books in the last two years, I am amazed at how many I have left. I will pick up a book from one of my 4 bookshelves and re-read it, thinking it is the last time and I will then give it away, but then I remember how good it is, and it goes back on the shelf! If one has to be addicted to something, I think books are a good thing to be addicted to! -Sunday, November 06, 2011 at 16:22:30 (MST) Famous Rob well I can't argue free, but I will state I have download a bunch of fee classics on Kindle and I didn't have to get up off the couch. can't beat free on the couch! lol Deadwood eh? We could all pan for gold to fiance the show...eh? I think we need Mystic Lake, Treasure Island, Dells, Diamond Jo's some one with a bunch of bucks and we can throw a party??? WE need a cruise! We need a cruise! We need Cruise! Robbo dressed in Green Bay GREEN! -Sunday, November 06, 2011 at 13:24:44 (MST) Andwa, again Rob: There's a used bookstore right down the block. I can buy a book and when finished bring it back and exchange it for another. I can keep doing that all I want. As long as I have one to exhange I'll never have to buy another one again. Kindle may be nice, but you can't beat free! I see the band will be playing in SD again next year. I'd go but a 12-hour drive in this part of the country in the beginning of March can be very iffy. Not sure about that one. Will have to think about it. Hope everyone is well! Andra -Saturday, November 05, 2011 at 23:03:02 (MST) Famous Rob All you bookworms(I am one too) Get a KIndle, you will love it! problem is Honeybear seems to have taken over mine, which she gave me for Father's Day...For Figure! Anybody ever read Frederick Manfred? I lknew him he is gone now but he was a hero of mine. He wrote aobut the Area of aorudn Souix falls and SW MN/NWIA, as well as aobut the Lakota and other subjects. And I knew Charles Dickens wrote Great Expectations and Sale of two Titties, Oops, Tale of Two Cities! Giggle Spacey Sex! Giggle Robbo -Saturday, November 05, 2011 at 22:12:42 (MST) Pam T. Isn't it amazing Andy Rooney's final commentary aired just a month ago? And at 92 years of age. We have always enjoyed Andy's wit...he will be missed. My last post looks like I've attributed Great Expectations to Jane Austen. Charles Dickens is the author of Great Expectations. I'm cooking up a storm today as it is my youngest 12th birthday and we have extra people around who expect to be well fed. -Saturday, November 05, 2011 at 12:15:51 (MST) Andwa, again RIP Andy Rooney. -Saturday, November 05, 2011 at 08:34:24 (MST) Pam T. again Great Expectations is a good read! I love all of Jane Austen's books and have passed that fascination on to my oldest daughter. -Friday, November 04, 2011 at 21:28:01 (MST) Andwa, again Oops! Not the Great Escape! What was I thinking?! Should've been Great Expectations. Not the same thing at all. Must have been having a senior moment. Beg forgiveness. -Friday, November 04, 2011 at 21:23:27 (MST) Pam T. Madonna- I can't believe you didn't care for Vick's Formula 44- I mean Jagermeister! Susan is a true friend. Bet you gals had a great time on your trip. Andwa- Walter Farley still gets checked out by our contingent of horse lovers. These days Diary of a Wimpy Kid (or "Diarrhea of a Wimpy Kid" as one small library patron called it) is one of the most popular offerings. Books have always been my friends too...still more inclined to read non-fiction. We did watch The Invisible Man tonight...geesh, he was a creepy, murderous guy. -Friday, November 04, 2011 at 21:23:20 (MST) Andwa, again Pam T: Books were my best friends when I was a kid. Loved reading...still do! In elementary school, my favorites were the books by Walter Farley. Read them all, some more than once. We also had a collection of the classics at home...Treasure Island, David Copperfield, The Great Escape, Arabian Nights, Black Beauty, and many more. I would spend hours reading one after the other. I loved all the strange and exotic places they took me and all the fascinating people I "met" there. Books Rule!! -Friday, November 04, 2011 at 17:56:08 (MST) |
