I got home tonight and there was a package on the desk for me. Bill had sent my winning's to me and winner's they are :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie:. The pen's are super awesome :yoyo: and just about enough to make me learn to read and write :shrug:. The wife said she would be able to make use of them and I told her when she can find this kind of quality she can get some for herself, until then toooo bad. The call from Bill is breath taking :highclap: :highclap: and will be going with on the next calling session that could be as early as tomorrow morning if the wind slow's a mite :pout: . You people simply amaze me with your talent's :bowingsmilie: and I am thankful for them all. These will be with me forever or until I lose them as such has been known to happen. For Crystal I hope all is going well and you are in my thought's daily.
Thank You

Charles-- I got the card today. N0 amount of time, money or effort on my part can compare to what your Family has been going thru. I was more than happy to help in any way I could, the most I could. All that matters is that Crystal is doing much better. Thats the most important thing. A simple Thank You was enough for me because I knew you meant it. I do appreciate the extra effort of the card too. The hand written note inside speaks volumes about your appreciation of what we here at Friends N Family,, & especially Bill,, did to help as best we could in your time of need.
May Peace & God be with your Family during the CHRISTmas & holiday season. Be safe.
Glen
I also got your card Charles. Thank you. Glad to hear that things are looking better for your wife Crystal.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Charlie Crystal Logan & the Mutt Kurgan (the only lab afraid of water)
Quote from: LORDDAL on December 23, 2008, 12:38:25 AM
Mutt Kurgan (the only lab afraid of water)
Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, he is the only intelligent lab? I called and spoke with Mutt about this and here is his reply. "I mean, think about it. There are little chucks of ice floating in the water and someone wants ME to jump in that COLD water just because they are too lazy to paddle out there and pick up the duck they just shot." Personally, I think Mutt has a point.
Jerry
And when I talked to him he added>> Mans best friend huh? I wonder what he would say if his BEST FRIEND would yell FETCH at him!! :rolleye:
Glen & Jerry...the dog whisperers :roflmao: :roflmao:
Hmmm - Glen & Jerry you guys ever think of making ice cream together :wo:
Steve
