STORYBOOK II by Elena Dorothy Bowman

   Within the pages of this book are stories that my mother once told me; of certain incidences that she remembered. But mostly it is compiled of the memories that were a part of our lives. Doors were never locked friends and neighbors were welcomed anytime they happened to pass by. And it was an era where whenever someone visited at dinner time, an extra plate was always set out for the visitor to join in the family meal.

Galleys that went out, are still out, or went out Again, this week:

Looks like the whole chase family is falling apart. Except for us cats.  (Yes, I KNOW! Arline would be yelling, "It's WE cats!") if she wasn't all worried up.  We've been playing all week, trying to cheer folks up, but so far it's not working...

Not only is her oldest son, Shelley's husband, Dave, facing cancer surgery on Monday the 23rd, but now her youngest son, Sid,  has developed medical problems as well and he will  have surgery on Wednesday the 25th. Here's hoping they will both be okay. 

Y'all remember that old Chinese curse, "May you live in Interesting Times!"  Looks like we sure found some.

We will keep everyone posted.  Meanwhile Arline is sitting at the computer and trying to work, but just between us, mostly all she does is stare into space.

Please don't forget to let me know
