Well, look at what time it is, end of November and I've been very slow at putting on news to you faithful readers. One of the problems, is I can't usually remember my code name to get on this blog. Found another way to get here tonight, so here's whats news. hope

Call from Iowa last night told me that the corn crop on my folks old farm is in, so tonight we had Oyster Soup for dinner. A tradition that has been around as long as I can remember. I suppose during the WW II war years we may not have had them, but otherwise, every year when the last ear was picked, we had oyster stew.....hmmmmm We love them

Its Tuesday night the 28th, and going to get cold tonight, down to 27 degrees the weatherman says, and I believe him. Put a towel around the hose bibb outside my back porch, so the faucet doesn't freeze. Can't have that you know.

My phone call brought bad news, that one of my old friends, Roberta Hite Simmons had died this last few days, also Ronnie Nielson. Ronnie was one of Betty's classmates, and Roberta was the sister to my best friend Harlan Hite. I went out with her a couple of times, nothing serious, as it was on most dates back then when I was in high school. She was a terrific gal, and a wonder ful mom I'm sure. My thoughts goes out to Bill her husband and their kids at this time.

Had a wonderful thanksgiving here at our house. Stephen had to work that day, so we had a late, 6 o'clock dinner, made it kind of nice to have the afternoon to watch football and basketball, and then to have the kids over for a very good meal. Won't bore you with a lot of news tonight, I'm already over 10 hours of e-mail time, so may have to go to unlimited usage, if I keep up the pace I'm now on. Started out with 3 hours for $4.95, now I'm up to 10 hours at $14.95, and my last month bill was nearly $30.00, so might as well go unlimited for $24.95 and get it over with.
Will send you a picture one of these days, but not tonight. So, will say cherrio.
