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!
