Remodeling Job
Jimmy and I put up new paneling in the living room today. It use to be that dark ugly fake brick paneling and we got tired of it and decided it was time for the new. It sure made the room brighter!We are trying to decide if we want to the other 2 walls or not.
Also made 4 dozen oatmeal raisin cookies to send to Brian. Lets all try to send him a card and packages if possible since his birthday is the 22.

Growing Up in a small Town
THIS IS SO VERY TRUE!!!
Those who grew up in small towns will laugh when they
read this.
Those who didn't will be in disbelief and won't
understand how true it is.
1) You can name everyone you graduated with.
2) You know what 4-H means.
3) You went to parties at a pasture, barn, gravel pit
or in the middle of a dirt road. On Monday you could
always tell who was at the party because of the
scratches on their legs from running through the woods
when the party was busted. (See #6.)
4) You used to'drag'Main .
5) You whispered the 'F' word and your parents knew
within the hour.
6) You scheduled parties around the schedules of
different police officers, because you new which ones
would bust you and which ones wouldn't.
7) You could never buy cigarettes because all the store
clerks knew how old you were (and if you were old
enough, they'd tell your parents anyhow.) Besides,
where would you get the money?
8) When you did find somebody old enough and brave
enough to buy cigarettes, you still had to go out
into the country and drive on back roads to smoke them.
9) You knew which section of the ditch you would find
the beer your buyer dropped off.
10) It was cool to date somebody from the neighboring town
11) The whole school went to the same party after
graduation.
12) You didn't give directions by street names but
rather by references. Turn by Nelson's house, go 2
blocks to Anderson 's, and it's four houses left of
the track field.
13) The golf course had only 9 holes.
14) You couldn't help but date a friend's
ex-boyfriend/girlfriend.
15) Your car stayed filthy because of the dirt roads,
and you will never own a dark vehicle for this reason
16) The town next to you was considered 'trashy' or
'snooty,' but was actually just like your town.
17) You referred to anyone with a house newer then
1955 as the 'rich' people.
18) The people in the 'big city' dressed funny, and
then you picked up the trend 2 years later.
19) Anyone you wanted could be found at the local gas
station or the dairy bar.
20) You saw at least one friend a week driving a
tractor through town or one of your friends driving a grain
truck to school occasionally.
21) The gym teacher suggested you haul hay for the
summer to get stronger.
22) Directions were given using THE stop light as a
reference.
23) When you decided to walk somewhere for exercise,
people would pull over and ask if you wanted a ride.
24) Your teachers called you by your older siblings' names
25) Your teachers remembered when they taught your parents
26) You could charge at any local store or write checks
without any ID.
27) There was no McDonalds.
28) The closest mall was over an hour away.
29) It was normal to see an old man riding through town
on a riding lawn mower.
30) You've pee'd in a cornfield.
31) Most people went by a nickname.
32) You laughed your butt off reading this because you
know it is true, and you forward it to everyone who
may have lived in a small town.
I would not have wanted to have been raised any other
way!!!!
Tough times don't last... Tough people do...
