Sweet Cousin Marilyn! I have been in and out so much lately with Dr's appointments and such, I haven't had time to do my e mailing! The Dr's are standing in line waiting for me! One is tring to find a blockage in my heart and one is trying to find prostrate cancer. I just want to play my bass and drink my drink! The banjo picker was a new member of our band. He was a wonderful Blue Grass style picker. He had played with the group, "Tall Timber". I still would enjoy trying to have our party. I will bring my electric bass, crawfish and CC with Diet Dew. Make a list of all the mixen's for the A list. Sounds like your trip was quite an adventure! We go on a cruse in Dec. to a bunch of islands. Fount ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn R.

Hey Fount Ray - My hubby had a prostrate exam by a young doctor who was little horizontally challenged. Ron relayed his nervousness at the exam and the doctor told him he didn't need to worry unless he felt to hands on his shoulders...Didn't have that problem did ya??????? LOL Your in my prayers.
