FordBarn is like a family - you come to visit, share and learn. Yes, and sometimes fight and bitch at each other, but that's what families do. God bless you all, Bill

I spent te day with Mrs Sturgis, her daughter and grand children and granddaughters boyfriend. The daughter does not heat with wood and I could not find a warm place to stand. The grandchildren and boy friend were playing video games and did not want to visit and Mrs Sturgis was too busy cooking to talk. I left a few times to go check on the dog, check the wood stove and stand next to the wood stove. It was a good Christmas.

I got a Sears gift certificate and she said I should probably use some of it for clothes. I think I might ask her for some cash to pay the sales tax. Second thought, I do not think I will ask.

Yep, she and I spent all day until about 6 or 7PM when my son came home. Here she is doing what she does best......begging for treats.
I wasn't lonely though, I am used to it (and antisocial).

Yeah. It would be good to actually meet most of you guys and your families. I guess I need to get out more.The cool thing is that relationships with people is what its really all about. The cars and trucks form that. But, I know that if BILL WILLIAMSON ha d to sell both his cars, or as some of you have lost yours due to fire, wrecks, etc., BILL would still be our friend, as the relationships we have with others transcends any material possession. Whether we like it or not, its all going to burn up in the end. You cannot take it with you, as they say. BUT, memories and relationships are something you can.

Mark,
I "THINK" my "BRAIN" remembered sumptin' about the~~ being used in Spanish above an "N" to give it that NIEU sound. Maybe the`` is used in French above the "E" to make it sound like an "A" like in Coupe` Bill W.

Hey Bill, I had to drive over to Jersey (Gawd I hate it over there) to visit with my NJ Daughter and her husband and 4 squalin' kids (Mommy, Colin hit me!) Arghh.I took a couple of Hemmings motor News and a Mac's catalogue and kept busy. My Cal. Daughter was leaving Orange Co for Mammoth lake when she skyped us. She dropped the word on us that she's Pregger's with # 6. (second for her) Great! Denver Daughter then skyped us and my sons in law took over talking about rock music, computers, Etc and I went back to my Mac's catalogue. Then it was time to eat. My daughter never even considers my sugar levels when she concocts these recipes. All in all, not a bad day, but not a particularily good one either>. Glad to be home in Pa.

Hosted Xmas dinner, one of our family members wanted to hear the "A" run so we ended up in the garage for a bit, Bill, sometimes the dog is our only friend regardless of how many people are around

We did have a very good Christmas with some of our kids. It was pleasant in that we could talk with each other rather that seeing their latest hi-tec stuff. Maybe it was because of the sign posted on our front door-this got posted after our Thanksgiving get together. Note the picture:
