’Til Next Time News is way too fast electronically

— I need to borrow someone’s crow bar to pry my foot out of my mouth.

One of the grandson’s wives drew a family name to buy a Christmas present for. The name she drew is a Marine and is stationed in Okinawa. She asked him on Facebook what would be a good present. A couple days ago, he was telling her on Facebook how appropriate her gift was because it looked like he was going to be spending a lot of time in bed and she had sent lots of goodies. She questioned him and found out that he had broken his leg. She called her mother-in-law (my daughter).

I was called and in a heartbeat I was on the phone with the daddy in Missouri wanting to know why I wasn’t told. They all know I insist on being told any time something happens. Their pain is my pain!It’s my maternal right!

Horror of horrors! The daddy didn’t know anything about it. Oh, how I wish I could back up and take it all back! They don’t have internet in their home and I had forgotten about the electronic generation passing information instantly. Evidently the accident had just happened. Did you know I could get a size nine in my mouth? Oh yes, easily!

A red-tailed hawk had something in its claws as it flew over me and landed on a light post on Lee Town Road, but I was meeting a car and never was able to see what it was. Two hawks are often time seen hunting those fields. Last month,about dusk, a road runner game me a good chase up the back road.

A good gift for elderly person that has everything is a magazine subscription.

’Till next time!
