Haven't seen you in forever! "Hotlanta" is still here, unfortunately - LOL!!

As Aquamarine pointed out in her beautiful thread earlier this week, there are such lovely places to visit in GA. Too bad Atlanta has to mess it up! :-)

(((((((HUGS)))))))) to you and Jack!

Hi Nan! You found your ring, wonderful :-) I have always prayed to St. Anthony when I lose something. Since it had such sentimental value to you, I am so happy that you found the ring. I have two necklaces that I hesitate to wear, one from my late Mom and one from my late brother. Silly, right..they are beautiful and always sit in my jewelry box.

Keeping your dear Sistah in my Prayers.

My family goes on vacations every year. Louisiana always comes up as a possible destination. LOL, we always end up in South Carolina!

Friday evening hello :-)

[WVNan]

Can you believe that those trees have lived that long in the South and avoided all those tornadoes? Just think, if the South had won the war everything in America would look like that.

[WVNan]

Oh, that is good news about Lucy. Have a great evening.

[WVNan]

Prayers for my dear Sistah as well. I'm praying that she didn't overdo it yesterday. I know the second day after surgery is always worse than the first day. It's like a delayed reaction when your body suddenly realizes it's been invaded.

[WVNan]

Oops, I missread. You were not the one going out to a football game. Duh.

[MEG33]

Saying a prayer for Lady X.

Just think, if the South had won the war everything in America would look like that.

LOL! No doubt. ;-)

Thank you, FRiend...same to you...)

[WVNan]

Thank you for the prayers for "Gator". She will appreciate them and needs them. I started signing off my e-mails to her "later Gator" and she laughed, saying she sure is a Florida Gator, having grown up there and all. So the nickname stuck.

"What am I going to do? I won't think about that today, I'll think about that tomorrow."

Great quote!LOL

Be my guest Scarlett. Speaking of Scarlett.....where is our Daisy Scarlett?

[Aquamarine]

Don't know...been wondering that myself.

Pinging Daisyscarlett! You're missed Lady!

I think that is my all-time favorite movie. I never tire of seeing it. The book is also one of the best. I marvel at how Margaret Mitchell was able to write such a massive story as a first novel. She had a writing style that is almost unmatched in American literature. She never used big words, yet her descriptive language was brilliant.

I can hit LA with a rock. About 20 miles "as a crow flies." I like their food and music. What I like most about La is that the Northeastern part is like the Deep South. The Southern part is like another country! I love New Orleans.

Q. What's the difference between a coon-a$$ and a horse's a$$?

A. Sabine River

(For you Yankees, the Sabine River is the state line between La and Texas.)

Sad note about Gone With The Wind.My Mother had senile dementia.I put a tape in so she could watch the movie and could tell she had no memory of it.Usually she had short term memory loss..My heart sank. It was all down hill after that.

[WVNan]

That is a hard thing to face, I know. My Mom had the same thing. Not Altzheimer's, but senility. She couldn't remember much and at the end didn't even know who I was, but she could still sing Amazing Grace.
