Hey Pat, We have been talking about you all afternoon. Glad you posted and you will be alright. Was thinking about your animals too. This storm is going to be terrible, we need to pray for those people on the road with no motels available. I know its insentative of the governor to say things should be available for their own people, but like here by the time they tell us to go 95 is all filled up from Fla. & Geo. people, so I kinda understand.

Hi, We went to NJ yesterday to see the ocean and go to a couple of stores we like there. While going we saw a helicopter above rte 195 with strange attachments to his struts that had boxlike things attached to the end of them. They were angled up and the copter seemed to be pacing the traffic. We have never seen this before and wondered if it was a traffic helicopter looking for speeders. When we got to Ocean Grove and were sitting there we saw and heard two fighter jets going from south to north just offshore. Does anyone know if this is a common thing? Or was something going on yesterday? Dot ooo---This Email Scanned for Virus---ooo by ooo--- Norton Anti-Virus---ooo

Hi, We are supposedly on the outskirts of the storm. May get strong squalls or tornadoes. Debateable. Not evacuating. Couldn't get out now if we wanted to. Interstates are backed up. Read on here that they told 330,000 people in Texas to evacuate and the low coastal areas of La. The wonderful governor of Ms made some insensitive comments about not want people from La going in there and using the resourses they need for their own citizens. How are people from here supposed to get out if they can't go thru Ms? Can't go thru Tx, either. Duh!!! Hopefully, it was taken out of context. Pat

I have an interesting story that deals with my family research. My mom was born in NJ but grew up in Pa. Pa is where my Gr Grandmother and Gr Grandfather migrated to after arriving from England. At age of 16 my mom went to live in NJ and stayed there and married. I, in later years move to Pa with my husband (who I met in NJ) who it turns out was born and grew up in the same city as my mother (Pa). He even knew some of her relatives. We moved to Pa in 1971 and I made friends with a girl named Ellie. One night I am at Ellies house with her cousin who was visiting from NJ and for some reason we start talking about family. It seems the cousin mentions my gr grandparents names. And how I asked did she come to know my gr grandparents......well they were her grandparents. Wow, well I call Mom on the phone and say, hey I'm coming over to get you. I didn't tell her that Ellie had company. Mom comes in sits down and we still don't say anything. June (the cousin from Jersey) just can't take it anymore and runs over and starts hugging my mother. It seems they grew up together and was a cousin of my moms. Mom loved it and cried and was so happy, they hadn't seen each other in at least 30 years. So now Ellie and I are not only very good friends but we're related LOLOLOL Did that make any sense to you guys? It did to me.....LOL ellen

Oh Doris, How I loved Schickhaus hot dogs.. my mother would only by that brand. Wish I could find them today. Are they still making them? A secret one of the hot dog stands had in Belmar was to use a little bit of Bacon Grease to cook your franks... ummmmmmmmm Jersybel

Hi Doris, I lived on Evona Ave, and went to Jefferson School in 1940,fpr 1 year My Dad worked in Mack Trucks in Plainfield, Then Moved to the Arbor section of Piscataway on Rushmore Ave went to Arbor School Betty

Doris, Wasn't that neat for both of us. I had a call from her over the weekend and lo and behold am waiting now for a call from someone that lived across from me many years ago in High Bridge. She has a PC so now will catch up with a lot of news. Loved seeing all those good ole names in the graves including the Beatty family. We have different names down here. lol. The German Valley is still as lovely as it was years ago. This was the only trip back for me in 18 yrs. except and overnight one 7 yrs. ago and then not to look or see anything.

Pat, I don't blame you for watching. I see they are predicting a 3 now and are evacuating the coast. You take care and leave while you can before a major jam on the highways. I will be thinking about you and sending a prayer , be safe. NJ was indeed dry and inland here they need water too. If they are correct we will get it inland, as you know we are on the coast.

ENJOY!!!! Love, Robin LETTER TO AN OLD FRIEND I take my pen in hand today To drop you just a line, To ask you how the weather is And are you feeling fine; And did you ever wed the one You always dreamed you'd find? And are there any children now, And have the years been kind? And do you ever think of me, The friend you used to know, And all the happy times we shared So many years ago? So many people have I met, Some rich and clever too; But I have never found a friend I liked as much as you. You had the gift of laughter true; You had a love for fun. You turned the rain clouds inside out; You always found the sun! And I have learned throughout the years How few they really are Who turn their troubles upside-down And hang them on a star!
