Subject: [TNDICKSO] Lookups and reminessing!
Date: Tue, 2 May 2000 11:01:54 -0400


I have a few lookups to get to ... They will have to wait until
tonight...but I WILL GET TO EM...honest!

Any other volunteers...We need to stir up some serious FUN here!!!!!

I would like for us to reminesse.... Would you share a story about your
Grandparents, or anyone of your family....... just anything you saw, heard
growing up about their lives....

My uncle JO was a small boy and my grandmother, Dana Dotson sent him to the
pea patch to clean out the waning vines...
He was pouting cause he wanted to go with his older brothers as they were
doing more adult chores....and he had to stay home so he tore into the work
...... not only distroying to dying vines...he tore out the new vines as
well.... Needless to say ... my grandmother was not happy... she all but
stomped him!.... He was throughly grounded...
Later in the day he was polishin Floyd, his brother's shoes. Floyd was
going to town that evening ..and he paid uncle JO a quarter to buff em....
Floyd told JO that if he wanted to gowith him for him to get cleaned up and
he would take him to town, too.... Well Uncle JO started whinning... and
managed to squeak out that if he got married Mama wouldnt let him go to the
wedding!!!!<LOL>

That is my story... let us here yours!!!!
