ON THE LIGHTER SIDE.....

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ IN THE PAPERS.....Dermot McCann opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend Reilly. "Did you see the paper?" asked Dermot. "They say I died." "Yes, I saw it." replied Reilly." "Where are ye callin' from?"

Relay For Life ......

Good Morning friends and neighbors. This past week-end I went to the Relay For Life Cancer Suvivor Luncheon in Asheville NC. It was held at Crown Plaza. The food was great. After the meal a fashion show took place and all of the models were cancer suvivors. That was way COOL! I won a door prize which was an herb garden. That's right at the top of my list of things I like. I hope everyone is having a good day. It's raining here in NE TN and more storms are headed our way. Today will be a great day to read and sneak in a nap.

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
