FYI: Genealogy Buff News

As you all know, I enjoy family genealogy. Does anyone else 'subscribe' to the web site Genealogy Buff? It's a free service through the Yahoo! Groups feature. The gentleman that runs the site, Bill Cribbs, has transcribed and placed on-line thousands of pages of wonderful genealogy information. Plus, he links to much of the Rootsweb sites for free. I use his site quite often.

I recently received an e-mail from Genealogy Buff that more info has been added:

Here Comes The Sun ...

It has been gloomy and overcast here for a couple of days. Last night was a heck of a storm. The wind took it's liberities with the place. I've got limbs to pick up today. The noise woke me up around 2 AM-ish. We almost lost power a couple of times. This morning, the sun decided to show up! Yay!

It's a glorious day in paradise.

I hope everybody else is having enjoyable weather and a happy weekend.

Funny Friday Motivational Poster

I just couldn't resist the poke.

It's an inside joke.

Notice the wheels don't have spokes.

(I'm a poet and don't know it ...
I mean REALLY don't know it!!)

(Deepest apologies to any golfing aficionados
and budding poets.)

Have a good'en y'all!

Sparky's In The Louvre Too!?

"Well, they'll just let anybody in here, won't they??!"

Looky! Sparky is famous!

And it's not drawn on the bathroom walls this time!

That's me ... December 23, 1958 in Titusville, Florida.

I was about 2 1/2 years old trying to walk in my father's work boots.

The nifty free feature above is found at Museumr.

Muse-Swings started this at her blog with her cute childhood photo.

Thought I'd be a Monkey See Monkey Do tonight. [tee hee]

Also, my wonderful husband now has his own blog so he can quit kibitzing on mine!

He calls it Wiregrass Musings.

Enjoy!

A Little Coffee Shop Humor

So, here we are, having a nice specialized coffee and homemade muffin at the local coffee shop in Baxley. Lovely town, full of friendly, warm-hearted people.

Friendly ... sharp witted … oversexed … people, apparently.

Somehow the subject veered into taking The Blue Pill and the benefits thereof.

I can tell we’re all getting older. All we talk about now is medicine, who had what surgery, who died this week ... and the benefits of taking some ‘medicines’.

Anyway, “C”, the woman behind the counter, about my age, married, quick witted, was laughingly talking about an elderly gentleman friend of hers. He was joking with “C” about, you know, ‘doing it’ with her [how THEY got on that subject, I didn‘t ask. I figure ignorance is bliss in this situation.]. She states quite loudly, in front of God and everybody, right there in the restaurant, “I don’t think so, I don’t see any of that Fix A Flat in here”.

You couldn't heard a pin drop!

Then.. we were all guffawing so hard I almost peed in my pants! And the laughter lasted about 10 mintues, no lie!

The rest of the day was kinda anti-climatic after that.



Gosh, I love this place. But I guess you had to be there.

Have a good'en y'all!
