Jeannie T., You have lead a very interesting life, indeed. I bet you could put together quite a book. Does your oldest son live quite a distance from you? So that's why you don't see him that much? Is your oldest son married & have children? I always wondered about Buzz..so it sounds like you are pretty special people in their lives. Does he ever get to see his real daddy or is he somewhere else? I know I'm asking plenty of questions, but I have been reading everyone's e-mails for so long that I feel like I know many of you. We were never fortunate enough to have children, so many times I live vicariously through other people's Grandchildren & children. Paula is quite a gal. I enjoy when she writes about something b/c she can say things better than I ever could. And she makes me laugh. Especially with that run around with the gator & her two dogs. I could tell you the same story & it wouldn't be half as good as how Paula would tell it. She's a very nice lady & deserves to have a good life. Well, I guess I better go & check my laundry. I have to get up for church tomorrow. We are also going to church tomorrow night b/c we are going to see a video that David Barton narrated & I really enjoy that man so much. I kind of kept it as a surprise...but my husband said he was more than willing to go. Normally he likes to stay at home in front of TV. Take care & have a lovely Sunday. ~Jen in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: <askgranny@juno.com> To: <southern-chat@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 25, 2010 10:07 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Jeannies life > The flooding in Nashville was terrible, and somewhat uncalled for..The > Corps of Engineers opened a dam they shouldn't have without warning > anyone, and people were caught flatfooted, so to speak.
