Sunday Doin's!

Well, yesterday was a fun day in the Delta! After church services were over, Theresa and John called saying that they were at the Ramada Inn eating the buffet and for us to come on over. Of course, they did NOT have to "twist our arms" to get us over there!! We enjoyed the usual Sunday buffet of FRIED chicken, roast beef, ham, dressing, and all the other trimmings. Oh, and Joe REALLY enjoyed EVERYBODY's cheese cake!!! (yep, you guessed it- he DID eat EVERYBODY'S!!!! Oh, and he reminded us that they were SMALL pieces!)



As usual, we enjoyed visiting with others who were enjoying the buffet. Among some of those we got to visit were Barbara and Charlie Smart (who we've not seen in a looong time). Was also glad to get to meet Carolyn Tindall. I feel like I already knew her, though. She is such a sweet, sweet person. She grew up around these parts. Of course, she remembered Mama and Daddy. A dear friend of mine's child is married to one of her children! Small world, huh?!?



After STUFFING at the Ramada - we rode down to Market Place parking lot where the Delta Riders Motorcycle Club was hosting a "Hogs Love Dogs (and Cats, too)" fund raising event for the Leflore County Humane Society. (Joe is not a member, but John is and he mentioned to Joe that we ought to ride down there.) Joe rode his Harley to church so that he could go to Market Place and spend the afternoon with all those gathered there. I went in the "Bug" b/c had plans to come on home after church. Well, I wound up staying all afternoon, too. Got to see lots of folks and get a lot of TALKING in there, too!!! (and you KNOW how I DO love to talk!) The event was a huge success - John told me this a.m. at Mama's that they got about 2,000 pounds of dog/cat food and lots of "kitty litter", too!!

Pridgen, and Walt Swider, and a couple of other guys rolled in just as things got kicked off. They've been on a trip out to Arizona and around. Gosh, you should see Pridgen's "saddle bags" on his bike. They are those stainless 'tool box' looking things like the farmers have in the back of their trucks!!! (you watch- that will catch on and everybody that travels any distance on their bikes will have some of those!)


The band - "Belt Drive" - which is comprised of a few members of the Delta Riders was the entertainment! (Murray Kornfeld, Chuck Doze, Tony Browning, a Taylor guy, and a couple of others-didn't get their names) I was pleasantly surprised!!! They were REALLY good!! Dud Pleasants (the Bottle Tree Man) a fellow "Minter City Native"-stopped by and just "happened" to have his harmonica in his truck. Oh, my!! The band was playing some 60's music as well as a little blues, and Dud asked if it would be okay if he joined in. They were GREAT together! He told us later that he just had to put a little bit of "Minter City" to it - to spice things up a little!!



There were some really interesting looking motorcycles there. One man on a "trike bike" had a HUGE siren-type horn on his. Another man had big truck horns mounted on his Harley. There were some really beautiful, shiny bikes there. "Trike Mike" was there with his trike bike.



Joe, John, Theresa, and I were talking about that as soon as Theresa gets over her knee surgery-we're gonna have to "hit the road"!!! I can NOT wait. This year I don't have to worry about not being able to go b/c of school!!! YEAH!!! Joe is having a fit to go to the Gatlinburg area. I'm in hopes that we can get a big group up to go. I hope that Cathy and Mike, and Carolyn and Mike will be able to go with us. Guess we could see if John and Linda Smith wanted to tag along with us. Guess we need to go ahead and set a date so that arrangements can be made. Hey, WHEREVER we go and WHOEVER goes with us- you can rest assured that we WILL have a GREAT time!!!! We have so much fun when we get together!



Well, enough about all that. I need to get off this computer and get busy packing!! Seems like I"m getting nowhere FAST- in getting all my "stuff" packed up and in storage so that Kimberly, Dee, Lawson, and Baby can move in this house, SOON!!!



Y'all have a great rest of the day- and remember - there's ALWAYS something going on in the Delta!! and 9 times outta 10 - EVERYBODY knows about it, too!!!! (whether you like it or not!!)



love 'n 'hugs - 'til next time
