COLD AND EXPECTING A BIG STORM AGAIN BUT HOPE IT ISN'T ICE LIKE OUT IN OK. IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE REALLY HAVING A BAD TIME EVEN IN KY AND PARTS OF TN. HOPE STACIA AND SARA ARE ALRIGHT ON THE ROADS IT CAN BE A TERROR DRIVING. THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE TO GO OVER THE MOUNTAIN ANYMORE. I HAVE HAD MY SHARE OF CLOSE CALLS ON THAT MOUNTAIN, TWICE I SLIDE DOWN SIDEWAYS AND A CAR WASN'T COMING UP THE SAME TIME I GUESS I HAD AN ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER FOR SURE.
THE USUAL AROUND HERE STEPH AND SKYLER ASLEEP AND JAMES ALSO SLEEPING AND ME BEING BORED WITH FOOD SHOWS. THERE IS NO NEWS IN THE PAPER ALL THERE SEEMS TO BE IS PAGE AFTER PAGE OF OBAMA AND I CAN'T STAND MUCH MORE OF IT EVEN THE ADS ARE OFFERING JUNK TO BUY. AND LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ARE ABOUT HIM.
I PLAN TO BUY A BOOK OUT BY BERNIE GOLDBERG " "A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media."
NOW THAT IS A TITLE AND JUST THE WAY I THINK.
BETWEEN CALLING HIM "THE ONE" AND THE NEW COMING OF THE MESSAH I GET SICK.
WELL I KNOW YOU ALL DON'T BELIEVE THE WAY I THINK BUT AFTER HE IS FINISHED KILLING ALL THE BILLS BUSH PUT IN PLACE WHAT ELSE WILL HE DO.

HI GOOD DAY TODAY BUT COLD I SHALL BE HAPPY TO SEE SPRING AND SO WILL SKYLER HE IS DYING TO RUN IN THE WOODS AGAIN EVERYTIME YOU OPEN THE DOOR HE MAKES A BEE LINE FOR THE NEIGHBOR'S DOOR TO LEAVE HIS MARK AND THEN TO THE WOODS SOMEDAY THE NEIGHBOR IS GOING TO CATCH HIM BUT I AM SURE ALL THAT YELLOW SNOW LEAVES A CLUE.
HEARD FROM SARA AND TOM LENDY AND NICE TO HEAR FROM BOTH.
AS FOR SARA SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT NO CHILD LEFTBEHIND NOT WORKING BUT I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT A LONG TIME AGO. YOUR AUNT SHARON HAD TO TAKE READING OVER WHEN SHE ENTERED COLLEGE AND SO DID SHAST JAMES AND MATT IT SEEMS TO BE THE NORM IN THESE SCHOOLS THEY DO NOT READ ENOUGH AND ESSAYS AND POETRY IS UN HEARD OF, I JUST CAN'T THINK OF A WORLD WITHOUT BROWNING OR SHELLY AND CAN ANYONE RECITE THE MIDNIGHT RIDE OF PAUL REVERE. OR ANY WORDS IN HISTORY LIKE THE WORDS OF NATHAN HALE OR
CAPT JAMES LAWRENCE THESE ARE THE WORDS THAT MADE HISTORY AND SOMETHING TO BUILD A NATION ON.SOMETHING TO REMEMBER THAT GREAT MEN CAME FROM SMALL TOWNS AND THAT WAS WHAT BUILT A GREAT NATION.
TOO BAD SCHOOLS SEEM TO THINK THAT THE PAST IS BORING AND CATCHER IN THE RYE IS A BETTER FIT FOR TODAY WHAT A SHAME THAT IS.
BACK IN THE 40'S MY AUNT EDITH'S SISTER IN-LAW MARGARET CLAPP( SHE WAS ALSO THE DEAN OF WOMEN AT WELLSLEY WON A PULITZER FOR A BOOK CALLED JOHN BIGILOW FORGOTTEN FIRST CITIZEN I PLANNED TO READ IT SOMETIME BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT MAYBE I WILL FIND IT ON THE WEB
AND READ IT MORE HISTORY I SUPPOSE BUT I LOVE HISTORY.
WELL ENOUGH RAMBLING FOR ONE DAY TAKE IT EASY AND STAY WARM.

JAMES CAME OVER BIUT HE GOT STUCK IN THE DRIVE AND WHEN HE GOT OUT HE DROVE TO SHAWNA'S HOUSE AND GOT STUCK THERE SO SUSAN HAD TO COME AND SHE WAS NOT HAPPY SO JAMES IS AT HOME UNTIL SPRING I THINK.
