Patti Messenger, if you are still out there, I am still picturing you being peeled off the ceiling fan, at the place where you stay when you go to your apple orchard, when your kitty dropped the mouse it was playing with, onto the bed for your husband, and it was still alive and ran off, with Kitty on its heels, and victorious in the end. LOL!!!! I can't wait to read more of other people's stories of their lives!!!! Patti's story can be found in the archives dated, October 5, 2006, under the subject Critters :o) We would love to read your stories, Sheila!!!!!! In glancing through my email, I saw where you also said you were writing stories about growing up in WV. Please, if they aren't something you think you are going to eventually publish, share them with us!!! I'll be reading the posts for a while, because of getting some work done around here, with my family research. I have neglected much of it, with the work being done on the house, and gotta get crackin' again. I'm working on extracting ROEDER info from some church records, if anyone is researching that name, and needs extractions from St. Paul's Summer Hill Cemetery, and church, for death and baptism, let me know, and I'll send them to you. Rick, I will send it to you for your BERKHEISER NOTES. I'll be reading everyone, and hopefully chiming in at times. :o) Lynn PS Didn't get a chance to try that Italian Bread recipe today_possible tomorrow, though the painters will be here to do the front porch, and I have some questions about some of the woodwork that wasn't fixed from the storm, so I'll be outside, I'm sure, tomorrow.
