Remember
I can remember when I could buy penny candy. And a nickel would buy a coke, 15 cents for a hamburger. 3 & 5 cents for a postage stamp, gas 25 cents per gal. with full service. Oh yes we saved the green stamps and on Wed. you got double stamps. The drive in theater is where I was employed when I met my husband. The old ringer type washing machine is what I used the first 6 or 7 years of our marriage. I remember hanging clothes on the line and they would be freezing while I hung them. Now that is what we call the good old days. Can you relate to any of these pictures below?

I’ve been TAGGED by Jan
OK Here is Seven strange, weird and crazy things about me:
# ! I love washing dishes. I have a dish washer but hardly ever use it. It is something about putting my hands in that hot sudsy water I just love. I hate having dirty dishes. If my husband needs to leave his glass and he isn’t through with it he will tell me to not bother it, because if he doesn’t he knows it will be gone when he gets back.
# 2 I mop our floor on my hands and knees. One day my daughter-in-law saw me with a mop and was so surprised. She didn’t think I had a mop since she had always seen me mopping on my hands and knees. I also use a toothbrush to scrub. I had a wonderful dream one night. I dreamed I was in heaven and I was cleaning a beautiful fountain with a toothbrush. I found out that I had been working on it for a 1000 years. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not a cleaning freak. ( at least I don’t think so)
# 3 I’m 72 years old and don’t have a cavity or any fillings in my mouth. People always compliment me on my white teeth. The dentist told me my teeth were stained. (white). Sooo glad it wasn’t brown stain!!!
# 4 I tell people I can get lost going around the block. Phil and I were taking a trip to Dallas. I was driving and Phil was looking at the paper. When he looked up he said where are we. I had got on the wrong road. He has started keeping a better watch on me while I’m driving.
# 5 When I was around four years old I kept on complaining about my tummy hurting. My parents took me to the Dr. and he told them I had a tapeworm. He gave me some medicine to kill the worm, and told my parents not to let me eat any thing for a period of time. My daddy felt so sorry for me that he gave me some gum. While I was chewing my gum that worm came up and got my it!!. I guess that worm died.
# 6 When I was a little girl I wanted a baby all my own. I would just daydream about finding me a little baby somewhere. One night when our family were saying our prayers I ask God to give us a baby. My daddy stated he hoped that prayer wasn’t answered. I guess that is why I love dolls so much. They are my little babies. Over 200 of them!!
# 7 I have nightmares of someone trying to get me. I think this started when we were living in a large house in the country. We had a real long hall. From the master bedroom you would go down the hall to three more bedrooms, where our children slept. We didn’t lock our doors at night, because we had a dog that wouldn’t let any stranger near. One night I awoke and heard someone walking down the hall. I woke Phil and he told me to lie there and be quite, so we just laid there not knowing just what to do. Then it dawned on us that it had to be our oldest Son. He was in college and decided to come home and hadn’t let us know he was coming. Sure enough it was him. Since then I have had nightmares of someone trying to get me. I will be trying to scream in my sleep and Phil will wake me.. Realizing it was just a dream I will just die laughing.

Birthday
We had a great time at Wes Tinney’s surprise 50 th Birthday party Saturday evening. It was hilarious watching them with the hoola hoops. You should have seen Rocky Youngblood and Kim Pointer doing their thing with the hoola hoops. Melissa Miller won the prize. She knew how to get that hoop going. The food was soooo delicious!! We really enjoyed listening to all the write-ups of the things people remembered about Wes. He is a great guy and has a wonderful family.

wedding
This was a shotgun wedding performed at a Valentine party in Feb. Of 1994 Phil Farmer took a borrowed 10-gauge shotgun with blank ammo To bring his wayward future Son-in-law back in line when he tried to stray from the paths of matrimony. There was instant pandemonium in the crowd when Phil fired the shotgun over the bridegroom's head. Brother Stone performed the wedding vows and Wes Tinney (the bride) picked up the groom and carried him off to an unknown destination for the honeymoon.

Thinking about getting a colonoscopy? You may change your mind after reading this: Thursday I prepared for my colonoscopy for Fri. morning. I had to drink a gallon of some horrible junk. Ever 10 min. I had to drink a 10 oz. glass of it plus water. Then after I got all that down I had to drink a bottle of laxitive. About half way thrugh drinking the gallon of junk I headed for the bathroom but didn't make it in time. While I was trying to clean up the mess on the floor I had another accident, and I had to clean it up also. I didn't dare get off the pottie again, so Phil set up a TV stand in the bathroom to put my drink on. Every 10 min. he would bring me a glass of this wonderful drink HA! Phil asked me if I wanted him to take a picture of this bathroom mess and I said no! No problem with the colonoscopy they had me sedated. The Dr. said I would need a colonoscopy every 10 years. I told him I would be 82 years old and I didn't think I would be getting another one.
