Good morning.

Our FRiend will be greatly missed. Tony was one of the good guys.

It is one of the coolest things about FR. Tony posted here! And even though he rubbed shoulders with great ones, he rubbed shoulders with me through FR. You could chat with him. He was so friendly and so open. Tony’s type of person isn’t often on this earth.

Good bye, Tony. You will be missed.

Good Morning.

Been out for awhile.

We went to Illinois during the week to see my wife's sister. (Susan. She had cancer...) We spent several days visiting with her in the hospital. We left Wednesday afternoon to come back to Wisconsin.

We found out yesterday morning she had passed away. We will head back to Illinois for the funeral early next week.

Susan's husband is a minister and will handle the service. The family has a great faith.

On the lighter side Brett Favre now wants to be released from the Packers. It was confirmed this morming that he wanted to come back in March. Brett had called the Packer organization stating his intentions of coming back. The Packers put gears in motion; chartered a jet to fly out there to make it official. Two days before the event was to take place Brett called and stated he had changed his mind.

This is getting ugly. I think Brett's image is becoming tarnished all by his own doing. Yuck!

Thanks Lysie!

What was remarkable was to see Susan so full of life. She was more concerned about everyone else's welfare rather than her own. She knew there was nothing else that could be done, but wanted to make sure others were fine.

I find that to be a real testament to her nature and faith.

And not to be missed in all our saddness of losing Tony Snow:

'Greatest surgeon of the 20th century' dies -- Dr. Michael DeBakey: 1908-2008. Dr. DeBakey was a great man.

Can we really count Dr. DeBakey? He was 99 and had lived a long full life. I don’t mean to be callous, but everyone dies. Dr. DeBakey’s death was from “natural causes”.

Tony Snow, otoh, was young, my age, in fact. In a manner of speaking, he wasn’t through living yet.

Agak persoalan! Bangsa-bangsa yang lain terlalu jauh dan MAHAL SEKALI dari Papua.

Translation: It's a big problem. Those other countries are too far and TOO EXPENSIVE to get there from Papua.

So you understand bahasa Indonesia? Well. I guess we should run for president.

So sad about Tony! Darn. I thought he was beating the cancer. Helps to know he’s with the Lord.

Just read an AP article via AOL about Tony. It was very negative. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........................
Not surprised that the Russert articles were not that.

A Not-So-Good-Morning to you all.

Such devasting news to wake up to.

Tony Snow was truly the Renaissance Man....one who also loved the Lord. I'm telling myself that our loss is Heaven's gain, (but I am still weeping).

Good Morning Everyone,

It is a sad day. Prayers going out to his loved ones.

One a somewhat different note-
yesterday I was stuck in the waiting room with mom most of the morning. I was TRAPPED watching CNN. It was literally been YEARS since I had the misfortune of watching that station.

Well in the time I had to sit there, over and over they made fun of John McC, criticized him, mocked him, and flat out did nothing but make him look bad, while all the while making obabma look highly intelligent, youthful, and charismatic.

There were several foreigners in the waiting room and they all liked obama and were laughing at McC. The foreigers showed up with NO insurance and NO photo ID when they checked in. (Mom HAS to show a photo ID)

One group was from Mexico and one group looked to be from India or that part of the world.

It made me so mad they were making fun of Mc C and I’m sure they’ll probably all be voting this Nov.

Well that’s my rant for the day.

Yes, kassie. My hip operation will be Sept. 22.

I could kick myself for waiting this long. My summer activities have been less than active and I will be just about fully recover for fall and winter. Blah!

I will be having fresh yellow squash for lunch. I didn't plant any this year because I am the only one, here, who eats it. I can't believe that 2 seeds must have survived the winter. The two plants that came up are huge and have many buds. I'm happy!

I’m glad you have it scheduled and getting it taken care of. There never seems to be a perfect time to plan these things!

Awww, that’s neat about your volunteer squash. :)

Great news, lysie, to have a definite date for your operation! You can join us all in a celebration dance when you recover...very soon and successfully.

Further good news about your squash. LOL...wish I could ship you even more of them from my bountiful garden. (I think the neighbors are getting a little tired of my squash and cucumber deliveries. 8)

Henry David Thoreau once wrote, "I was determined to know beans." Well, I definitely know them....my little patch is outdoing itself. Sweet green peppers (currently $.98 each at Wal-Mart) are free for the asking HERE. Tomatoes are providing some welcome red color to the garden. But alas, my healthy okra plants are still bashful about blooming.

I am so looking forward to having some fried okra w/fresh corn, sliced tomato, and maybe some potato salad on the side....no need for meat for such a meal. YUMMY!

My squash was all volunteer this year as well. I had lots of squash off of it before the heat knocked it out. Dehydrated a bunch for soups later in the year.

Thanks to ya'all for starting the thread each day. Also, thanks to A Citizen and those who fill in when needed. It is greatly appreciated.

Sad news that Tony Snow has past. What a classy guy. Good heart, great character. Prayers to his family and friends for comfort in this time of sorrow.

Both the First lady and I have spoken with Tony over the years. Some on his radio show, some here on FR. We will miss you Tony, but one day we will see you on the other side. Oh, and if you get a chance, give Russert the 'bird' for me.

"Hi" to everybody. And what the heck was "that" Utah? I usually eat my squid raw.
