Jack, Jack, Jack.
Now I have to cancel my trip down there.
So glad you found us. Things wouldn't be the same without you.  :mrgreen:

The squirt had a little encouragement, Jack. They were all hollering for Jack.

I'm easy pickins now aday, about the time i get feeling good i go back to the therapist (3 days a week) and get beat up again. :o Not been on the computer much the last 2 weeks, but when i was nobody was posting much :?  i thought it was because of the holidays.As most of you know i'm not computer savvy  :roll:  and my computer has become very slow and i had some foreign guy call and ask if i was in front of my computer that i was in danger of getting a virus? I said no that i was on my way for surgery, that i would be back next week, Haven't heard from him yet? Anyway you guys keep your band aids handy i'll be looking in now and then. Feels good to be with my buddies again, and thanks for all the prayers and well wishes, your buddy. Jack

I was wondering how you had made out. Yes I hear it is getting lonely at the other place. Glad to hear you are gearing up to go again for the spring. :D

I confess, i gave rr the Squirt name ;D. Mom had 4 boys, i'm the oldest, dad was 6ft.2" mom 5ft.4". Myself and little brother are 6ft1"  Jim is 6ft.2"and John is 6ft3" (Jack, Jim, John,Jr.). Mom was a loving, caring, and very observant mother, but had rules you didn't cross over, she was quick on her feet when we were growing up and like most mothers had one target in mind when she came after us. ;D. Well after reading rr's many post about her family, neighbors, beekeeping, and her undying desire to get back into beekeeping after her sting reaction (few people would go through what she has), made me think of mom. She could be hardheaded,determined, stubborn, and mean :o,so i ask rr how tall she was, and guess what 5ft4" :o. Our great aunt (Lotty) lived next door and would yell at uncle Roy to come and see the little Squirt(mom) chase one of us boys with a switch in her hand (When we was all taller than her) they would laugh abd say it was the funniest thing they ever saw ::). So from reading her many post about what all has happened to her and her reactions to them (what she did or what she was going to do about it) put me in mind of my mom, and by the way mom didn't like to be called Squirt. So now you know, i really thought it would fire her off ;D but found out she has thick skin and a good sence of humor. Jack

Good story Jack and I can see her now chasing you long legged boys around the yard, her yelling and you laughing.

Reminds me of my grandmother, she would get after us with a fly swatter. She was kind of short too and back before my time, my uncle Billy tells the story of when she got mad at him and he picked her up ad sat her on top of the refrigerator, she was afraid to jump down. yeah he got it good.

Good to see you Jack.
I can remember a lot of German from when I was a little kid. Being asked if I wanted the wooden spoon was one I heard a lot, and no, it wasn't to lick icing off of it either.  :o
