9/20-21/8 with O.Hinds

1. 9/20/8 ... Quite a day! I had left the car on a Friday for Brian M. to fix. He was so busy and today was no different. There must be only one place(perhaps 2) to fix flats! Anyway Brian called and he had taken out the old and put in the different transmission. I paid him cinco veintes y cincuenta con un cheque par su labor. I drove home in the '90Red Ranger and Beck followed in the '04 TransAm. I really felt good when Brian told me the truck was worth at least quinentos dolares! I may keep it and sell the Nissan.
2. 9/21/8 ... Up early and took the Pontiac to St. Elizabeths. Vivian was already dressed and we walked to her breakfast room where Evelyn and Ms. Wagster were already there. We sang "No not One" and "When we all.... " and I played a couple of tunes on the harp. I met Wanda Martin from Harrisburg. She Knew Daisy Harris and Gertie Mills Skaggs! I also met Fred Gambill, a life-long Jonesborite. ... hugged several... Mildred F., Nellie V., Opal Hogue and played the harp while Lady Lee kept rhythm with my right hand and arm! She was really twisting to the beat in her wheel chair! Tammy, a nurse, says that this exhibition really makes her day! Skillcare... Spoke and played with Waymon/Eula Mae Perkins, William C. and William G. (three Williams including myself)! He gave me a couple of Twixts and that served as a breakfast! Spoke with Gertie, Tim , Delores, Mary A., Dixie, and others... played the entire dining hall a couple of Tunes.... Craighead Nursing Home....Spoke to Gene B., Leona W., Lorene S. Louise , Brenda, J.R. Isbell, Mr. Dorton, and so many others... Dorothy C., dining hall (only 5 left in it). I must come a bit earlier. Cathy Moon (Vick's and InezDoty Moon's granddaughter) and I talked.. she is a nurse there. Jonesboro Homecare....spoke with Theodore Smith(89) of Trumann, Dacus', Paul, Charley & Ed ... I notice that Ed's photo no esta en el photo con Bess. Quin sabe porque. Ed shared some chocolates(tentlike wrapped in tinfoil) with me. Stopped by and picked up ($11.88) Chinese at Dragon City. Noodles-Mongolian Chicken & Noodles and Garlic/Shrimp! Home ate and to Trumann. Carried a lot of material and worked a bit in the Grove! I think I may sell the Red Ranger to James R..... Home ... wrote John Hamilton, a friend from Oregon the following: John, I was rereading the material you sent back in 2002 about Oregan Lakes & Lighthouses.... absolutely priceless! I can just picture you out in your Slicker and Sou' wester hat hunting for Agatesandshells ...just you, your bike and dog! Your mother really was wise to go the way that you should go and you started at age 10 or so in close-up photos! I have always shot close ... I was always to short to stand in the periphery of several taller brothers...ha! I treasure some of your past letters. Have visited your new site and recall some images from the past that you have shared! Yes, Nova Scotia will always be the place that answered my need for 'newness in a world that had grown a bit too familiar! I will continue to visit your site. That first picture(on your site) took a while to load, but worth it... I save the site to favorites... have a great week!!! Oliver

   Sure, Oliver,
   
   Exactly the same man! Staying home, mostly, these days, with Junior holding the reigns.
   
   I caught him on Channel 83, this morning. Same as channel 5, except better quality, if you have a TV you can fake as though it has cable. Don't know what cable channel he is on. He used to be on NBC (8), in these parts, but not lately.
   
   Hope you are having a fine Sunday. We are never too sure what's going on down your way. A little rain here, during the night, but just cloudy, today. Old "Sol," trying to burn his way through, but I doubt he'll make it, this week, heh!
   
   As it happens, the home of my new Domain is in Nova Scotia. Thought you would like to know that. Don't know what city. The only person there, I have talked with is a man named Dirwin, who is one of the key people at "Register.com," where I am registered. I have high hopes for this new domain and website, as I need it for my affiliate programs. A "Port in a Storm," for Photography Enthusiasts, too.
   
   Hope your Pecans and Menagerie have survived the storms!
   Glad to hear back, from you, always!
   Have a fine Autumn!
   Jake & Jack
