Mornin' Cuzzies, Well, I'll tell you one thing.....this new life trip at this stage of one's life is not for sissies. My love and respect definitely goes out to you who have walked this walk. It's a toughie. But, you know that coming in when you latch on to a partner where there's 10 yrs. age difference. I will say one thing.....Ole Buckley never had a sick day until a yr. ago ......never had the flu, a cold, nuthin'.....an occasional hangover I'll tell you that. o : And, I am going to pick up kitties, myself and move back to my hometown of San Antonio just about as quickly as I can get there which I figure will be about 3 months. I have my mom's condo there, and I've kept it just for this inevitability. And, of course, I have many, many friends there and in the surrounding areas. When you don't live in the same neighborhood in Houston, the traffic is so bad that you don't visit much out of your neighborhood. So, I didn't see Da Kid but about once a month. I'll probably see him more often this way actually....because I'll be coming to Houston, and he will come to San Antonio. Anyhoo, notes may be a little sparcer 'til I get settled, but think of the new stories to tell! ( : Y'all have a good one! Buckette

Hi all, Suze, I wish you the best in your move to San Antonio. We look forward to the stories! We were pleased to host the reception of cousin Larry Campbell's son, John Campbell, last Saturday night. They had about 250 people at the reception. Larry is a descendant of JBL from right here in Iredell County, NC. Larry and I are also distant cousins on the Belt family line. I had a very short dance with cousin Larry; it was too hot for more than a couple of turns. The reception was VERY hot. It poured down rain here the same time on Sunday. Even though the heat was stifling, it was still better than rain. As with every wedding, there were several memorable moments from the staff's point of view. One of the bride's guests was a guy our staff dubbed "the Larry David guy." He felt the entire reception should revolve around his needs and often took a large open stance between the doors to keep us from trying to air-condition the house. One of the bridesmaids did a fire dance with a hula hoop (she changed into shorts, first) to bless the marriage; something we'd not seen before at a reception. One of the guests from the north saw some pillows on our couch that had War of 1812 soldiers on them that he just had to have. My husband said that he didn't want to sell them. His wife approached me later and gave me some compliments and then sweetly said, "he won't sell them for any amount, not even $100?" We paid $6 for them at a flea market so decided they wanted them more than we did and sold the pillows right off the couch. Other than picking up toilet paper along highway 21 for 1/2 hour Sunday morning, I had a great time! Larry has married off two of his kids in the past two months; I'm sure he's ready for a break. Take care, all! Wendy Loveless Waldron

Hey Folks! I would like to point out that the unusual entertainment and the other notable guests were from the brides side!!!!!
