Cousin Marilyn and Group, Just getting time to get back on line. Our banjo picker passed away and we have been busy getting him put away in a proper manner. It was a nice funeral with a minature banjo and a minature NASCAR # 9 Bill Elliot car and blue grass playing. After the funeral, we all went to his house and ate and had a drink in his honor and listened to some blue grass records he was on years ago. I would hope I would have such a nice crossing over honor. Cousin Marilyn was our cyber party cordinator and while she was gone, things kind of slowed down. I am playing for a dance tonight but if there is a cyber party going on, I will drag what's left of me and my bass on line and go to where ever the party is when I get through!!!!!!! I have a whole passel of good hot seasoned crawfish I could bring and some Canadian Club with Diet Mountain Dew to wash them down with! Fount ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn R.

Hi Marilyn, Postponing the Party for a week or two is okay with me, as I have had some bad news since sending my email off yesterday. My younger stepbrother who had been battling throat cancer, who had been given the all clear, has now been given 1 year to live, so you can imagine not so in the mood for a party today, though of course, maybe one should resist the temptation to let things get to them and soldier on. I don't usually ask for prayers, but as so many of you are close to God, maybe you can say a prayer for George he is 51 this year, unmarried and no family with him to comfort him as he is on the Mainland.

Here i am all dressed up with no place to go. I am ready for the party. My hat is, of course, red. And I have my favorite t-shirt on. A smiley face that says "got wine" which of course I have with me. A good Cabernet--Fat Bastard and a great red from Argentina. Now are you guys telling me I will have to drink this all by myself and do my own singing. Patti ----- Original Message ----- From: "John D.

He was Simon HOYT, who marr Susanna(h) SMITH. They had nine children, one of whom was Mary, who marr Thomas LYON, Sr., who was b in Perthshire, Scotland ca 1621 and died in Fairfield Co,. CT in 1690. Ruth was the 2nd wife of Thomas Lyon. Any connnection here, do you think? Barb in MO (but originally from NYC)

Edie, how sad for your family, over the last few years the list has said many prayers for Duane and I (and we still need them), so I'm sure you will get lots including ours.

Cousins , Postponding the party until the first of April would be great with me. We are having a late spring and nothing is blooming. As you have all heard we have been hit with more rain than usual as well as ice, sleet and snow.It is cold not climbing much above the low 40's. No jays or cardinals have appear as of yet. The ground hog must have seen his shadow this year and every thing here is about a month behind schelude here. It seems most everyone else is in the same shape. Pat Tatom

Pat You are describing late spring in my part of the world... trouble is, we've had that wx all winter..!!!

Hi Marilyn and all you party goers. IT will be March 1st tomorrow, here. Not sure about the cricket pitch as we are expecting rain. Could set up some bales of hay in the barn. We have done that before for our daughters 18th and had lots of fun. I think someone was going to do some sort of country dancing and we were going to have a few musicians to get us into the swing of things. Our dog ruffles and cat penny will most likely want to be included as well. Anyway, come tomorrow we will see if we have a party or not. It is okay with me. Will have to seek out the broom stick with all of the bottle tops on it as part of a bush band. If someone has an old scrubbing board with a stick and a few other improvised instruments, maybe a crash can lid etc, a gum leaf player, we can all start to have a hooting, tooting time.

I think it's a good idea, as well. It'll give things a chance to dry out more and less chance of our campfire getting rained on... Jill __________________ "Gypsy gold does not chink and glitter. It gleams in the sun and neighs in the dark." Gypsy saying

Pam, I also descend from a Robert Armstrong, born in England but raised in Maine. Is it the same Robert who married Ruth Hoyt? Patty

Hi Jacqui, Shirley, Edie, et al. What shall we do about the party? Nobody seems to be around. Where are all the listers who were enthusiatic, invited us to visit and sent recipes? Where is Mary who was collecting the recipes, and where is Fount who was going to see about the music? I have a feeling these people aren't getting their mail or we would have heard from them. I know there were a few guys who were going to participate, too. What do you say to postponing the party a week or two. I really don't think many of us are getting mail right now......

Now where does this begin...and have all the "invites" been recorded?
