RAINY DAYS

[Carolyn Hill Morris]

Autumn is finally here and on this day, Sat, 10/23/10, its raining like crazy. its only 2:10P and it looks outside like 7 or 8p. For me its one of those lazy, sleepy days. My eyes won't stay open. I'm missing

the fellowship of my fellow BULLDOGS. No one is even on line with me right now. Our campus is bare and void of activity. I wish we were having a get together or something. This is such a drag from last

weekend when everyone was together and having a ball.

Anyway, I can remember back in the day when we had days like this, we would gather together and

play cards (not so much the games we play today) like GO FISH, MONOPOLY, JACKS, etc., We would

have hot chocolate, or some soup and crackers, or just lay around reading a book. Of course the boys

would be rough-housing and mother would constantly holler for them to be careful before someone got

hurt. Then she would say, "if any of you come to me crying, everyone is getting a whipping". I would

crack up because the boys would then stop rough housing and start jabbing each other in the side so

as not to be rough. But those jabs look like they hurt too. We didn't have a telephone back then, and

I remember if mother needed to get a message to or borrow something from someone, the boys would

have to walk or run to that neighbors house to take care of mother's wishes. Being the only girl, I was

a thorn in my brother's sides at times because someone always had to play with me and play what I

wanted to play. The boys hated that. But it didn't matter. There were 8 of them and 1 of me.

Of course if it was a Sat., we got to go to the STATE THEATRE. The boys always was happy to see the

feature of the day...usually a good Hopalong Cassidy, Lone Ranger, Tom Mix, Gene Autry, or some

other good western. I loved the westerns, but was wishing for a good romantic movie. (OH I SHOULD

CLEAR UP WE WERE OLDER THEN) LOL.

Oh well, those are my thoughts right now. I wish this was last weekend. HEY SOMEBODY, HOLLER BACK!

THIS IS MY KIND OF WEATHER; I LOVE LOUNGING AROUND WITH A GLASS OF WINE OR WHATEVER CHOICE I MAKE,(DRINK OF CHOICE) LISTENING TO GOOD MUSIC... THE LYRICS SEEM TO MEAN MORE ON RAINY DAYS.... LISTENING ALSO TO THE RAINDROPS THAT ARE FALLING WHILE THE SKY TURNS DARK,... JUST RELAXING THINKING OF ALL THE GOOD STUFF I COULD GET INTO IF ONLY???????...SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE BREAKING UP SOMEBODY'S HOME
(ONLY A QUICK PASSING THOUGHT). IF I SO HAPPEN TO BE ALONE, THEN I WILL PICK UP THE PHONE AND LET MY FINGERS DO THE WALKING... TO SUM IT ALL UP,,, ROMANCE COMES INTO PLAY ON DAYS LIKE THIS...I START THINKING OF #19....PUT ON LAURA IZABOR AND THE REST IS HISTORY..BUT IT CAN ALSO BRING DOWN THE BLUES...BUT THE BLUES IS OKAY, ITS ALL RIGHT...BUT I DON'T STAY THERE TOO VERY LONG.....GIVE ME A RAINY DAY AND I CAN STIR UP SOMETHING,,,I BECOME CREATIVE AND ALL SORTS OF THINGS CAN HAPPEN AT THAT POINT...FALLING ASLEEP IS EASY, WAKING UP AND STARTING OVER IS BETTER....

Bonita who was the main speaker today? I bet you didn't even know it was raining since the seminar was that good.

HEY BULLDOGS HOW DO YOU SPEND RAINY DAYS?

[Carolyn Hill Morris]

Bonita, I love the weather too. Im glad your seminar made things clearer to you. We've been told all our lives that "you're never too old to learn", but a refresher course never hurts. I think that the minister when performing the wedding vows mentions..."Before God and all of your family and friends"during the ceremony. "Whats inside me"? Im a vessel, you're a vessel....all humanity is a vessel! I don't think im following you. But thanks for sharing! I know that each vessel makes choices Are you telling me you're getting married or thinking about it?
