Trisha(my Sister) said it brought back memories for her as a young girl she wore the princess dresses and participated in the activities.After the Parade, we all met at the hall.Around 400 people attended. They served food and drinks. At no charge, ribs,portague beans,salad.sweet bread,All the sodas you wanted.Everone was very nice.

  4. Sounds like you all had a good time. A cousin by marriage tracked down our family history on the Robertson side, my moms maiden name. No axe murderers so that was a good thing.

  12. We got our Dish and so far so good. Very clear picture on most channels or whatever they call them. Remote still looks like an alien but will figure it out in time. You were asking me why my alcoholic neighbor was peeking through the fence at me. We have found it is impossible to try to be friends with truly hardcore alcoholics and that is what he and his brother is as were their paarents. We finally just broke off all contact with them for our peace of mind and that is one of their childish ways of getting back at us.For quite sometime if he heard me go out to water my plants he would run outside and stare at me and not say a word. He did that when I was here alone. He nor his brother are kids. Both in their 30's. On weekends they start drinking around 9 in the AM and it is non stop until around 10:00 or 11:00 at night.
