Friends and Schoolmates,
This is
what we call a "Big Gaffe". I found this cool midi. Even thought I'd
never heard of it, I liked it (well, as much as I ever like this type of
jazz....
), saved it and decided to use it. Unfortunately, I found no matching
lyrics. Perhaps it has none. I dunno. Sigh.
When I was ready
to select images, I realized it was silly to look elsewhere when
F.A. Saunders (Hampton HS - '64) of
VA had already supplied us with these take at our own
Lake Maury on 09/15/07.
Thanks again, F.A.!

From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of
RI - 10/05/07 - "Serendipity... ":
On Monday I found out that my Aunt Catherine (from Conroe, TX) was flying into Boston on Thursday for a fall foliage trip. She is one of the two remaining siblings of my Daddy's family of six. I asked her what they were doing Thursday night and they were free...so I hopped on the TRAIN to Boston yesterday and we spent a wonderful time walking around Boston Common and then went to Anthony's Pier 4 for dinner. This morning when their bus took off I went back to South Station and got back on the TRAIN for Kingston, RI...so what fun to log on and hear Wabash Cannonball today!!! It is one of my favorites and we have so much Johnny Cash...including that one. They are touring Hyannis today and tomorrow and then going up to VT and NH and CT and then back to Boston to fly home. I had not seen her for two years and it was a real treat.
Oh,
Jean, that is just TOO priceless! Thanks so much for sharing that with us!

TWENTY THINGS TO REMEMBER
1. Faith is the ability to not panic. 2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you prayed, don't worry. 3. As a child of God, prayer is kinda' like calling home every day. 4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. 5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot. 6. Do the math. Count your blessings. 7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts. 8. Dear God: I have a problem. It's me. 9. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted. 10. Laugh every day -- it's like inner jogging. 11. The most important things in your home are the people. 12. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional. 13. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. Come on in. 14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry. 15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead. 16. We do not remember days, but moments. Life moves too fast, so enjoy your precious moments. 17. Nothing is real to you until you experience it; otherwise it's just hearsay. 18. It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again, just be sure to flush when you are done. 19. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk-taking! Learn from the turtle, it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck. 20. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting. Leave gentle fingerprints on the soul of another for the angels to read. I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well. Live life to the fullest... & thank God for every moment of your day !! "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." - Winston Churchill |
Al,
bless your sweet heart!
Thank you so very much for
this outstanding selection!
Personally, I'm pretty good at #3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 15, 17, 18, 19, and 20. I'm
really, REALLY good at #10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16. Now if I could ever remember
#1, 2, 5, and 8, my life would run much more smoothly!
Hey - maybe I could
cross-stitch them and hang them up some where!?! Yeah,
right - in my FREE time, I am sure!
WILD GIGGLES!!!
From Jean Lankes (Hampton HS - '72) of VA - 10/05/07:
Thanks
again, Lady!
Um, it may be - it MAY be - that you sent them all right,
but that after I finished performing
"plastic surgery" on them in PhotoShop, they BECAME watery looking.....
It was just my interpretation of the Golden
Rule. I crop off as much as necessary to hide whatever I think necessary,
and then utilize the blur tool to remove as many wrinkles, age spots, sun
damage, and so forth as I would want removed in my own posted images.
The resulting shots may appear a bit, um, filtered.....
You know my
motto, doncha?!? "Reality - SO overrated!"

Thank you, Shari!
This was an interesting mix!
From the
Head Cheerleader of the Class of 1963,
Judy Horton Lindstrom of FL - 10/06/07 - "cool space station photos":
These are so awesome. They take my breath away.
WOWZERONI!!!
These ARE breathtaking! Thank you,
Judy!
From the
Head Cheerleader of the Class of 1963,
Judy Horton Lindstrom of FL - 10/06/07 - "Cheerleaders":
You don't have to live in the U.S. to know that FOOTBALL IS KING!
But the game wouldn't be complete without the cheerleaders,
and here are some of footballs
finest:
The LSU'S Golden
Girls!
The Alabama Crimsonettes
The West Virginia Mountaineers
Ohhh, Judy,
you're such a naughty baby!
Thanks again, Lady!
From George Helliesen ('61) of MI - 10/06/07 - "Response To
F.A. Saunders' (Hampton HS - '64
- of VA) Comments on
Democracy":
Thanks
so much, George!
It's good to hear from you again, and it's always nice to input from educators
on such subjects!
Technically, of course, those weren't really F.A.'s comments, but allegedly those of Scotsman Alexander Tyler back in about 1787, but F.A. did find them worthy of consideration - and free and open discussion is always a fun thing here.
For even more fun, read what snopes.com has to say on the subject:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/tyler.asp
As time goes by, I myself find any excursion into thinking rather than simply operating on automatic pilot is good for my brain! GIGGLES!!! So I appreciate your definitions and distinctions of the terms, "republic" and "democracy" as a good refresher course.
Now if someone could only remind me of all those algebraic equations which once actually did make sense to me on some level....
Thanks
again, Sweetie!
