Hi Shirley! I have not been around in a while. I hope everything is going well up your way. We are still getting rain down here, my yard really needs to be mowed but it has just been too wet. Rusty had an appointment at the M.S.A. Specialist in Houston last week...no good news there, just nothing th -
(Is that even a real abbreviation????....) Why of course it is if we used it, it just became one if it wasn't before! :-D -
Well, I am now caught up on the posts that I missed, and I think it is time for at least a little picture of Ellie! (I'm in withdrawal... I had to go all the way back to Sept. 21 (the last post I'd been to...) Have a great weekend! :-)

I miss you, Shirley! I hope that all is well with you, and that soon you will be back in business.

They do not trust anyone and talk about whomever isn't around - I do have a hard time dealing with that, but Rusty and I have been married for over 34 years - I figure they a

Shirley, I am praying for you too. I enjoyed your e-mail too, I was at the church all day painting - we painted the foyer, I got home and had to take a nap...so I haven't gotten around to writing you back, I am so tired and sore all over! I am too old for all the work I get myself into, but no one s
