Wise, I'll reconsider, providing that if we are ever at a meal together and sliced maters are served and you must sprinkle them with sugar, you will give me fair warning so I can be excused till you get them et.

a neighbor dropped by last weekend when daughter and I were out, and brought a bag of fresh picked maters. Just hung the bag on a chair on the front porch. Nice, huh?

you are right Bon. I bought my home twenty yrs ago from a long owned family property and when people ask me where I live, I simply say 'you know where Miss Mae lived' and they say, on yeah, that's the Walton property.

That happens in Yankee land too, Bon. We had a house in Iron Mountain, Michigan (about as far north as you can go with out hitting permafrost) and people always refered to our house as the Earle House. Now I hear they started to call it the Aldridge Place.

And Ann, you sweet thing, Boston is a great city but Yale is in New Haven, Connecticut. It is Harvard that is in Cambridge just across from Boston.

Knowledge from an ill spent yankee youth, I fear.

Love you both Bon and Ann. Just something about GRITS, they are just so sweet.

Hey, Bill - what a really nice surprise to hear from you. We truly miss you, but know you are busy doin your own thing.

Yeah, I figured I got Yale wrong when I wrote it but pumpheads kinda know they are wrong and somebody will come to the rescue. But we did go there and I sat on a bench on campus grounds and looked at all the beauty there. I have FSU, UWF, UofF, MiamiU, Dolphins, and Bucs down pat, tho.

How are you doing? You sound really great. We GRITS are glad to see you. I bet Bonnie isn't far behind me.
