He had same thing Ted Kennedy had, Larry;s was in his sinus.They had loved to fish, and she kept his truck, the boat and all and now found a place just 12 miles down I-59, toward  Meridian, on the Black Warrior.A man bought out an old fishing camp...went in, put three gravelled  roads to it...and surveyed it off in lots to sell.He took a bull dozer back hoe, etc and cleared out all the cabins, had people move the trailers...and he is putting a tall metal fence up...will have coded locks to get in. She knew him, and got first choice. So...now she is building a pier out in the water by her boat launch...18 by 22 with a four sided tin roof...and four ceiling fans under the roof...And a four ft wide gangplank, or walk out to it. There was a tree in the edge of the water so he made the gang plank...out around the tree and on down close to ground and only needs one step to go onto it...It is real nice. She is building a large deck on the front of her lot that has a tall bank over looking the grassy part...boat launch, pier and all.It is cemented into the  bank...with railings and big  steps with railings to go down to another deck landing at the bottom.Then it is flat...wide enough for trucks to drive down, from her gravelled road sloping down the right side of the lot. No cars will be on the exact lot...she plans to build a house next year after all this is paid for.She is  having it wired today. It already had a pole with power. She is putting all her switches on the deck....so she can turn on flood lights at the pier from there.  but, , I go down there...and hear all kinds of birds, watch a crane on the lake (back water from the river) and it is so nice. She is not on the river...so the only waves on her water will be the neighbors coming in (other 11 who bought lots. They all have a boat launch of their own.  It is very peaceful now, nobody is living there.I took my little terrier````, and a box of cold drinks and sat down there for hours Sunday, just communing with nature. We are gonna put a big pot of flowers on each side of the deck this  weekend, and the man who graded off where an  old house had been, also sewed  grass and scattered hay  all on it...she said  it was up good today, after all the rains. The only thing I worry about...is storms or tornados. There are houses up on the road that this comes off of....I said I would be going to somebodies house!!! I wanted my daughter to build  a retaining, reinforced wall out of blocks...and then make a cement room...with a thick reinforced top..that could have been her walk out on deck...with steps down...and a heavy door on the side...she could have stored her chairs, and boating gear..in...but she wanted this wooden deck.it is her money...so I didn't say anymore...but years from now if she keeps it...I may be gone but I think she will find that wooden decks, steps and all tend to weaken, get shaky, , rot and loosen up on the water like that. She hired a company crew  that builds docks to put the poles etc in the water for the pier. That costs thousands now.But it has given her some happiness that she hasn't had lately.Will tell ya'll anything new about it.

My heart goes out to all the flood victims and thier families...it is so sad, seeing them losing everything. I sure hope none of out listers are involved. It is still a big worry...three rivers all running into the 'Mighty Mississippi" will be for months, and it hinders the trains the trucks and all deliveries. The main crops for the year in three states are gone. The prices will be even higher...and products made from corn, and oats, and probably wheat will be scarce.It seems,that times 'hard to deal with' are getting here. I just heard on the news that the red cross is borrowing money in order to be able to help the flood victims.Several reasons for this...people are short of money, and scandals to do with appropriating funds where they are suppsed to go, and too...these agencies used to take donations of any clean, and usable items...now they want money because too many of the victims want new things, not used. It is hard to know who to try to help, I would gladly divide all my belongings with someone but that isn't possible anymore. Stella

Bobby, We were happier then than we are now. Maybe it's just because we're older and have experienced so many things in our lives. We worked from the time we got home from school until dark and we knew better than to complain about it. In fact, I don't think I ever had anything to complain about!!! It was just our duty to help out. We helped plant, hoe, poison and pick cotton in the hot summertime. When school was going on, after working till dusk dark, and we had closed the chicken house, we did our homework by the old Aladdin lamp that was placed in the middle of the table. Those WERE the good old days!!! When we went to bed we went to sleep immediately... not like now, when we lay there for hours waiting for the sandman to come along... The only worry that I had in those days was my sister poking me in the back with her elbow...

I know what you mean Jeannie T. When I got up yesterday the people on tv were advertising gifts for Father's day... The first thing I thought of was "I wish I had a Daddy" and the tears started pouring... my Daddy's been gone for 55 years and I still miss him so much. He was one of the best friends I ever had. For some reason my mother didn't like me... was always switching my skinny legs when I was a youngan... course, I probably needed it sometimes but not THAT much. I guess that's why I miss Daddy so much... he was a sweet, gentle man and a gentleman too... I NEVER felt like she loved me... don't remember ever getting a hug from her. When mama got old and couldn't do for herself I was the one who was here to take care of her and see that all of her needs were met. My sister was always her favotite and anybody could see it and it hurt so much... Hmmm... looks like I'm having another pityparty!!! Let's see what I can find to do to get over it...
