The 1st brood of Blue Birds are ready to fly

Becky Armstrong (Helms)

Great pics, Jimmy!

Kay Manning (Elrod)

Thanks Jimmy. Love the pictures! Spring has sprung. Sitting at my desk I can see out the window to my neighbor's yard and I watched her blue bird house for a week or so. There was a lot of activity but now all is quiet. I'm hoping they all live elsewhere now and a new family will move in. There was a goldfinch at the water bowl yesterday, the first I've seen in two years. Duke Power came and cleared under the lines not long ago and disturbed the birds' habitat. I hope they return. Does anyone have the new hummingbird feeder?

Becky and Kay, thank you.

No - thank you!  k

Kay....and any other H Bird watchers. I had no luck with that new style feeder, I have mine hanging from a shepards hook and when the wind would blow it would tilt and spill most of my nectar. If you could set it on a flat surface it would probably be great. Caveat Emptor

Thanks Jimmy. Maybe I won't get one. No need to waste good nectar. Please don't send any snake pictures!

Jimmy Vick

Sorry Kay, I misread your request

Cute!  You went and turned my hair gray! He looks like a big one. 

Jimmy Vick

If you have it and don't spend it, someone else will when you die

Jimmy, are you trying to tell us your time is short? Excuse my ignorance, but what is it and what year?  Are you trading your 2-wheelers in for a 4-wheel ragtop? It is a beautiful car - aren't boy-toys awesome! K

Rebecca Littlefield (Jones)

Happy birthday, Becky😇

Rebecca Littlefield (Jones)

Love your Lexus? Could have done without that snake 🐍.

what kind was or is it....harmless that eats rats?  Ewwwww

D. Anne Bagley (Elliott)

Jimmy, love your new wheels! 

D. Anne Bagley (Elliott)

Happy Birthday Becky! Many blessings !

Jimmy Vick

Thanks Ladies. It's a 2021 LC500 and NO K, I ain't getting rid of my scooters......just not ridin them as much. Old age ain't no fun. Oh, and yes Rebecca love a Rat Snake no harm to people or pets. Have seen one with a 2 to 3ft Copperhead and all you could see was the last 3 inches of him 

There aren't too many of us ladies who can love a rat snake. They do harm when they cause a heart attack! One chased my neighbor into the house one time, but he was poking at him with a rake. Yes, Jimmy, old age is a bummer but I'm glad to see you are resisting it with great enthusiasm. I hope your new toy is not so low to the ground you'll need help getting out. That would spoil the image in my head. K

Jimmy,

My husband is like you. He loves anything car related.

This is a question for everyone:

Assuming there are unlimited resources and birthdays ahead of us, what else would you, classmates, want to buy or do?

COVID aside I would love to take a cruise around the world!

Becky

Kay Manning (Elrod)

Becky: That's a great question. I would love to see Bob Dylan in concert and Bob Seger.  I have developed an attachment to Bob Seger because when we lived in Ann Arbor Bobby (as he was known by his friends) went to school with my sister and my neighbor. My neighbor said "everybody loved Bobby!" I don't think my sister knew him at that time - he was a year ahead of her. She was in 7th grade and he was in 8th. Bobby played the clubs around Ann Arbor as a teenager. The sad news is that he, his brother and mom were abandoned by his father and struggled living in rented rooms and trying to survive.  I have always loved his music. The song "Main Street" was written about Ann Arbor by him when he was 16 when he was too young to get into the clubs. Unfortunately, he has given his farewell tour, so I doubt he will be back this way. Bob Seger's home in Orchard Lake, Michigan - quite a step up from rented rooms with Mom and brother.

As for Dylan, even as an old lady I still enjoy his music as much today as I did back in 1968! 

D. Anne Bagley (Elliott)

I walk everyday and have discovered Bob Segar s songs and music have a way to make time and steps fly!

Happy Monday. 

Good job Anne. Old Bobby sure does put a spring in your step. I'm sure he'd be proud to know his music keeps us young at heart as well as physically fit. Keep up the good work!  By the way, in regard to Becky's question, have you any desires and wishes left on your list Anne? You have traveled the world, is there anything you would love to do next?  K

Cheryl Pope (Bumgarner)

Thank you, to all the Class of '66 Veterans!!

Now that's great masterfully coordinated teamwork!

Don't get any ideas, grandpa! K

Jimmy Vick

Maybe this year will be different with that Rattler kid

This is very similar to my vacuum cleaner! K

Jimmy, I don't think so!  Go Tigers!  A ring for all the fingers (8).  Then we'll try for the thumbs!

Dad story:  I was probably 3 or 4 years old.  My Mom was at work.  My Dad decided to paint his wooden trailer and he let me help him.  Unfortunately I had on one of my nicest dresses.  By the time Mom got home, I had paint all over the dress and all over me, including my hair. I remember hanging my head down while my Dad used turpentine, I think, to get the paint out of my hair.  My Mom was FURIOUS when she got home and found me and my dress in such a dilemma.  

Great story Lyn! Lost a dress but gained valuable painting experience - time spent with Dad, priceless!

Found this one Kay. Not sure if it's the one you mentioned. Kyle is somewhere in front of me, as usual. He rides like a B-outa-H.  There were 7 of us on this ride, I was 3rd 

That's the one. Thanks Jimmy.  Did ya'll ever have any accidents in those curves?

Jimmy Vick

Kay, not sure I had your correct email so here are a couple of shots of "Stormy". She's gonna be a looker.

The ladies' groups in our church do monthly mission action/support projects.  This idea was just forwarded to me.  Thought others might be interested in helping.

"Making a difference in the lives of the international community living in Rock Hill.  Mattresses, sofas, chairs, tables, mugs, dinnerware, pots/pans and mixing bowls are needed for international teachers.  Donations can be dropped off at Finley Road School in Rock Hill on Tuesday July 5 and Tuesday July 19 from 9 a.m. - noon.  These teachers are coming to answer the teacher shortage across the nation.  RH School District is requiring these international teachers to possess 10 years+ experience. This is huge considering thousands of teachers are being hired across the nation without an education degree, experience or teaching certificate.  Let's address their physical needs so they can positively impact our children and grandchildren in the classroom.  Thank you!"
