We talked about Marathon Man before he got to work.

OMG!! I remember that movie. That was excruciating to watch! That movie makes a visit to even the worst dentist a piece of cake. LOL

You only made one mistake. In the first grouping of churches, the one on the middle left is not one of ours. The one that should be there is the Oak Grove church that is undergoing the addition.

Well, Phooey! I guess you caught me not paying attention. I don't think we did get a photo of Oak Grove church because I don't think I have any other church pictures from our trip. Oh, well.....it's a reall miracle that I only goofed up one fact. LOL.

Yes, I left poor ol' Chester on the cutting room floor. I'll go find him and post his photo with jk. Just a sec. I am also going to have to post a photo of little Em with her cute hair cut. She is such a doll!

I know her mama was NOT happy that she took sissors to her hair, but I love her haircut! She looks like a little pixie.

WVNan's granddaughter, Emma.

I know! This is getting real old. Judging by the lack of participation on this thread, I think some people have just given up on FR. I sure hope this gets fixed soon!

Yes, Chester, the sterotype of a West Virginian. He lives “up the holler”; has coon dogs, chickens and guinias. Loves to coon hunt and fish. Chester has lost most of his teeth (speaking of teeth), and has no interest in false ones. He talks like all of us hillbillies. Now you would think that he is ignorant and backward. Not so. Chester is one interesting fellow. He’s extremely intelligent, and is one of the few people who can stump me with a theological question. He drives me up the wall, but I love him. He sent JK the cap when Lori and Amy were here before.

Oh, I had forgotten about those pictures. She does have the sweetest smile to go with her sweet personality. Good child.

It happens in jumps and starts. It seems to be okay for the moment. Yes, I was hoping for more folks. Maybe they will be here later.

My supper was really good. Baked pork chops, mashed potatoes and brocolli. Those baked pork chops were out of this world.

I didn’t want to complain since I’m always doing that but it does make one nervous to post, waiting, waiting, waiting gets quite boring. I have double posted lots because of its slowness and I get those white blank pages sometimes when I click on Reply under someone’s post to answer. When that blank white shows up, I click refresh and it eventually gives me a place to reply and when I type my reply and hit Post, thats the long wait.

I love FR and don’t like it sick! LOL!

Thanks for the background on Chester. I knew you would be able to describe him much better than I could.

Well, I've heard from Jim that John has ordered more servers and they are about to be put on line. I am hoping that will solve the slowness problem. It's been going on for such a long time!! It is exasperating!

Thanks for your freepmail and the compliments. Yes, she IS a very sweet lady. :-)

yes, she is precious to us. My only grandchild, though hubby has several that we don’t even know in Texas. Em is as good as she looks. She is the best behaved child I’ve ever had. Do we all think that our grandchildren are well behaved?

What do you think? I have typed up Katy and Benjamin’s life (condensed version) that is 3 typed pages. Do you think that is too much to post all at once, or should I break it up and add graphics?

LOL. It seems that every time we have an election, Jim has to add more servers. Oh how I’ve watched this place grow over the years.

Oh, I enjoyed your photo tour of Ohio & West Virginia! Thanks so much for putting it together in such an interesting and fun-to-read way, Lori. Nan, your WV is so pretty and peaceful-looking. One thing I want to ask about breakfast though - where were the grits? :)

Thanks, Billie. Nope, no grits. I tried them the last time I visited Nan at a Bob Evan's restaurant. Nan said I would love them. I didn't. LOL. It must be an acquired taste. ;-)

But, what I didn't mention was that Mr.WVNan also prepared dinner for us one night; hog jowl, blackeye peas with Vidalia onions, cornbread and fried green tomatoes. This was a meal like we'd never had before, and quite good. I am not very adventurous when it comes to trying new food, but it was all very tasty. And, the green tomatoes were grown by Nan herself!
