Here it's just pouring, but north that will turn to ice, and I'm not going to risk Barkley or myself on the drive yet. Once Dad is passed, and hopefully that is not soon, and I have some vacation days to myself, I'd love to come up.

One way you have me...I will tell you a true thing. One way you have me beat all to pieces is the cooperation between friends, like the atv issue. For thirty years I have made it a point not to get help from anybody, and to do everything I possibly could for myself. But now, at 61 and with my son grown up and gone, that is more difficult to do. It isn't that there are not people here that I could have been friendly with, I just flat chose not to. I completely lack your socials skills though, you and J are good with people. Have I ever told you my story about my boss deciding I should get a notary public seal? I went to the court house and they said I had to get two people who knew me to sign an affidavit saying I had been in the county for 2 years. I had been there about 20 at the time. But I couldn't , for the life of me, think of anyone I knew that well. <br /><br />Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-37550810949579938782013-12-16T21:16:55.909-04:002013-12-16T21:16:55.909-04:00Sweet Kymber,

I'm going to send you an e-mail tomorrow. <br /><br />I love having good neighbors/friends who help one another. We have an older gentleman who helps us out with vehicle issues, and we help him out with all kinds of stuff at his home. He's a sweet little guy who lost his wife several years back. Enjoy your neighbors/friends, I know they will enjoy the rum :-) <br /><br />Pizza, gosh I haven't made homemade pizza in a while. This will be something to place on my menu for the upcoming week. Your pizza looks delicious, I love both types. There is no other pizza better than homemade!!!<br /><br />Sending love to you both.<br />Your Friend,<br />SandySandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-58679924587982788732013-12-16T19:54:16.359-04:002013-12-16T19:54:16.359-04:00Pizza is my favorite food cold in the am left over...Pizza is my favorite food cold in the am left over or hot at lunch/dinner.
