You know Peggy, it's a different world these days than when we were growing up. There seemed to always be a rifle sitting in the corner of the living room when we lived in the country. I lived in the country from birth to 4th grade and I don't remember one time, anyone messing with that gun, we had all ages in the family along with friends and relatives visiting and that was just not done, also no one sat around polishing it or playing with their guns.

This young children getting their parents guns. Why don't the parents lock the guns up. There was guns in our home but I know not to touch them or I would not be able to sit down for weeks.

Dorothy, in all my reading growing up, I had read about the Court of Two Sisters restaurant and the name escapes me right now of the drink, Oh yes, a Mimosa. Well, I finally had my mimosa of one those trips and it was awful, it must have been a really bad year for the champagne and orange juice as well. When we went on the Millennium Cruise we arrived in NO the day before Xmas, the next morning late we went out looking for some Turkey and Dressing. Most places were closed but after trying the restaurants around where we were staying, we drove past a Truckstop of America and their billboard said come in for Turkey and Dressing/Stuffing. After we got seated, our coffee etc, they told us they were sold out of it. So we gave up and had a breakfast for lunch. That's the only time I've missed my turkey/chicken & dressing my entire life, even while in Okinawa, I cooked the same thing we cooked in Ok.

I can understand maybe in New Orleans, with all the drinking & drugs, but the one in Wal Mart. It is being said now, mentally off.  Why don't they check what kind of medicine that is being taken & if any is for Mental Sickness, don't give them a gun.  This young children getting their parents guns.  Why don't the parents lock the guns up. There was guns in our home but I know not to touch them or I would not be able to sit down for weeks. Or there would not be any hedges around the house.   Ed we had some rain this afternoon, & there was some tornados in South Mississippi.  Maybe you will get some rain. ________________________________ From: "janiegaby@suddenlink.net" <janiegaby@suddenlink.net> To: palmertree@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2013 7:45 PM Subject: Re: [PTREE] Gone Piddlin-shootings I had heard that as well and went over to homepage and found the article. On Bourbon street in the middle of the parade.  Film showed several people being jostled and then exchanging words and looked angry.  Two went off and returned with a third person and then the shooting started.  Wounded 4 people.  3 treated and released and one in stable condition.  Haven't caught suspects but know who one is they think.  Didn't stop the festivities! Yesterday afternoon about 4:30  the husband of an employee who  works in Conroe Wal-Mart Pharmacy went into the store and sat down on a bench that is in the area of the pharmacy where people can sit who are waiting for medicine.  After he sat down he pulled a gun out of his waist band and shot and killed himself before anyone could do anything.  Police were there within one minute but could do nothing to save him.  He was 35. -----Original Message----- From: Palmertree Listowner Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2013 4:08 PM To: palmertree@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PTREE] Gone Piddlin For Real!

I haven't been to New Orleans in a long time. I got married in 1959 and my late husband worked for the government. He had to go to the office in NO now and then. We lived and worked in Memphis. I worked at the newspaper and had odd hours -- but could manage time off if I wanted. I would take the City of New Orleans from Memphis (leaving about 5:30 p.m. Friday) and come home Monday - leave NO at 7:30 a.m. and get back about 5 p.m. I did that twice ... forget which hotel we stayed at. I remember dining at the Commanders Palace and I think Brennan's....and seeing Pete Fountain and Al Hirt. It was a fun place to visit.

I find "hopping" anywhere and impossibility! I need to go to MS and make my rounds again but it is much harder than before. I always stay with my best friend from school, Carolyn Ware Rinicker and her husband DUDLEY RINICKER, who cataloged all the cemeteries and worked on broken tombstones and genealogy. Carolyn has had knee replacements, she is about 1 1/2 yrs older then me and Dudley is about 4 yrs older and not very spry anymore. They always took me to the places I wanted to go and Dudley showed me how to use the "grave rod" or whatever he calls it to determine where graves are with no markers and even what sex they were. It really worked! I have been seeing that the old Weston Cemetery between Bowling Green and Centerville(near West) gets taken care of and I sure need to find a young person that would be interested in doing that job. I can't think right now of the name of the man who owns the place now (he lives in Jackson with lots money) but he promised his workers would take care of cemetery and they did put nice iron fence around it but if I don't check once in a while I think they get lax on mowing. It is across the pasture but reachable by car but gate stays locked so I have to let them know when I am coming. Lots of people buried there. Needless to say none of the three of us do much "hopping" anymore. Nova, enjoyed your trips to N.O. I have been their quite a few times and cruised out of there once. I have traveled a lot before retiring and have some pretty good stories but have probably told them already! My most exciting one was being in a plane flying over National Airport when Air Florida crashed. The pilot said "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are in a HOLDING PATTERN awaiting landing instructions". My friend said "I thought it seemed like we were standing STILL". Her husband and I looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh while explaining to her what a holding pattern was. We were flown back to VA. and they put us on buses back to DC and let let us out at the CLOSED airport instead of hotel(many of us going to same place as it was Postmaster meeting). We found one taxi and he crammed as many inside as he could with our luggage tied and hanging everywhere. People were still walking in the snow at the edge of the river.

Ken, my son Tom moved to Albuquerque several years ago, won a trip to New Orleans at work. His fiance did not wish to travel with him & their co-workers that won the trip also, so he asked me to fly to Albuquerque & go. He also talked his good friend into taking his Mom instead of his girlfriend (she was the unhappiest of the ones involved. ha ha) It was more fun, I met the other mom as we boarded the plane for New Orleans & we were very compatible! His company had so many great things planned, trips out to tour those old plantations etc, dinner trips down the river, on that boat is where Tom bought me these extra large beads, in the Mardi Gras colors, gold, purple & for white, pearls. The other mom and I would go out at night with them, but we usually went back to the hotel, changed to more casual clothes then walked down the gangplank to the Casino like boat permanently docked there. It was fun to see Tom get his trophy award one night at dinner in the hotel. Anyway, it was a great trip and for years now I have tried to tell his now wife, Veronica that it is still unsuitable for her to travel with him, but she just laughs and packs her bags!! I love New Orleans. 1. Our senior trip in 1955 we rented a nice bus & went for a week. There were about four of us girls way to young to go out to the places most of the kids went to, so the two adults took us to one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The Blue Room in the Roosevelt Hotel, as we walked in the song; "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" was playing. That place made such an impression on this 16 yr old girl. Never forgot it or the two Cuban looking dancers, when they went to dance the others cleared the floor and it was fantastic. 2. In the 70s I drove down from where we were living near a base in Wichita, Kan, dropped the kids off with Mom & Dad and flew down for an R & R with Joe in N.O. that was a lot of fun. He was TDY to Florida for 6 mos.. 3. In the 1990s was the trip with Tom. 4. 1999/2000 We left out of New Orleans on a Millennium Cruise. 5. Couple of years ago left out of there for another cruise to diff places. That time his nephew and wife lived there, took us to a Crawfish Festival. We had a ball, love that zydeco music & ate crawdads & the other food they had cooked up at the festival. Brought home a zydeco cd, great for doing housework to! OK, ready for another trip, any offers? ha ha It's been good talking at you today!! Nova . In a message dated 2/10/2013 12:36:59 A.M.

Ken Mom's been gone since 09 but today I ran across a pic of her I took in 2004 when just to have something different I took my large Mardi Gras beads that my son bought me in New Orleans and put them and sun glasses on Mom and took her pic. I took a Mardi Gra cake and snacks just to have something different. Mom was having fun until I told her how most people really get those beads or the story anyway. She told me she didn't want me to show that pic of her to anyone, she sure didn't want anyone thinking she flashed someone to get those beads. Just the idea of this 90 yr old woman thinking someone would think she flashed someone in New Orleans was hilarious to me!! I've laughed several times today just thinking about it.
