Glad you can get out & run.  Een when I was in high school, I tried out for basketball & I turn my ankle ever time.  Since I've md. I've stepped in holes & turn my ankles.  Now I have fallen arches, spurs & old arthur in both feet.   I've been to a feet dr. & all he wanted to talk about was my weight.  I didn't go to him to tell me I was to big.  So I haven't been back to see him.   Nova, you have the horses visiting & We have stray dogs.  Basil won't shot at them, just to scare them away.  They are starving to death.  I don't know whose dogs they are, but wish someone would take them & keep them.  Four are weiner dogs & 1 bigger dog.  Anyone around who wants some dogs, come for a visit & I'll give them too you, if they are in my yard.   Be my luck, someone would turn out some more.   Basil was talking about some Grantham's-Harrison's & someone else.  I just looked at him, since I didn't know who he was talking about.  One man was call Red & he had moved to Chicago.  I know that don't help you.   He really gets me confuse if I don't know the person he is talking about.   So this is all I can talk about, so it's someone else turn.  Peggy   ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 4:56 PM Subject: [PTREE] Hi Friends..... Anyone out there World?    What has everyone been  doing?  I've just been limping along with one bad foot. But it doesn't keep me down. Might have it operated next Jan. I don't want  to be housebound when it is fall weather like it is now. Couldn't decide whether to have it worked on or not but guess I need to do  it. I don't trust that they can fix it. I've been doing damage to that left foot  longer than these doctors have been alive. ha  No always, I remember in the  seventies a bag boy at the commissary let me go first and then ran the cart onto  my heel down the ramp. Wow, it hurt but now can't remember if that was the left  heel or not, but just things like that. Haven't walked in front of a grocery  cart since.  I'm either pushing it or behind the one pushing it. Hurt it once, beating a cocky little grandson to first base. He didn't  think Gma Nova would/could take off that fast to beat him to first base. Boy,  did he get a surprise! so I did, hit a cow's foot hole or a gopher  hole on the way. We had stuffed grass into some garbage bags to make bases and  was hitting the ball. He was a really good kid but John was working the whole  weekend and Curt had gotten tired of doing the same old things so we were  playing baseball in the field behind our house.  I think like Burt Reynolds when he asked some old prisoner, who had  hit the warden or someone in a game, Was it worth it?  Yeah I thought it  was at the time. ha Another time on the 4th of July I was chasing the neighbors horses or  brumbies as I like to call them across the yard to head em off at the pass  rather our driveway behind our house out to the blacktop road where cars and  pickups go by like the devil is chasing them. But I was heading across the front  of the yard and I got there in time to scare them back towards their place. BUT  some neighbors dog barked and here came four huge horses galloping fast up  the lane towards me and Goldie my dog, she was just barking like mad. They  were going to have to run over me to get to that black top road, they would have  surely killed some family driving by.  I've heard stories of those long  legs going thru windows and windshields into the car and them still maybe  kicking. awful. But Thank God they came to a grinding halt right before they got to me and  Goldie, turned and ran back past that dog and into their own yard and another  neighbor walked over and was putting them in a pen. We let their horses graze on some of our back field and when Joe had gotten his 46 Ford Coupe out of the pole barn down there he had not fastened the wire  tight enough and feeding over the fence, one horse just pushed it loose and they  got out. I finished cooking for the big dinner with a bag of ice on my ankle covered with a red bandanna, the kids who came for dinner and homemade ice cream  teased me saying they thought I had joined a gang!! The culprit who caused all this drove up about dinner time, all innocent  like, as he said he thought he fastened the wire just fine. NOT!! I like to say "chasing the brumbies" from one of my all time favorite  movies Man From Snowy River.  When you hear her scream and see where she  is, it always takes my breath away. Plus those real mountain men's code was how  it used to be when I was growing up. A man's word or handshake was his  bond. and the finishing touch to this ankle was last summer at a beautiful  wedding on the beach in Calif. I was going down a little hill of sand and my  ankle pulled or something and it's been bad since. Have to just pick and choose the shoes I wear as to how they suit this ankle. But going to the "Affair of the Heart" Friday. I went once yrs ago and just remember lacey photo albums but sure there is much much more to see. Got a plan!! I am going to push Mom's old transporter (like a wheelchair but less  bulky, it has to be pushed by someone else.) with my and Beverly's purses/drinks  in it until I have to sit down. She wants me to go with her and this is the only  way.  Maybe I can scramble along with my feet like the ladies in the  living center.Ha  At first I said No Way. But being with Beverly will  be fun and worth it. Well, has every bit of Palmertree info and lore been discussed on  here?  Peggy, I wish you would get Basil talking and take notes and put  them on here. I would love that. Is there anyone who remembers any thing at all about Thomas Andrew P'tree  who went to Texas along with his future wife Lementine Dean's folks. They  married after they got to Texas, he died of pneumonia the next year and left her  a young widow pg with my Grandfather Thomas Henry P'tree. She later married  a Triggo and a Scarbrough but never had but the one son. I think a couple  of grown step children with Scarbrough. She was such a sweet person and totally beloved by her nieces and nephews in Texas. Two of them named their  little girls Lementine Tiney after her. Tiney was just a nickname, she was  a petite lady. I spoke to one of these girls one time and wrote  a couple of notes,  she was living in Georgia and elderly back  then. I miss all you cousins etc talking on the line.  Nova ------------------------------- Visit the Palmertree Family History website at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~palmrtre/index.htm ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
