It sounds like a fun weekend. I hope you feel better soon, SnowflakeMom.
Hmm...now I have to check this out too.
Thank you, Crown! Have a wonderful weekend!
TGIF, my Christmas friends!
What a busy weekend we have in store! Tomorrow is Bellville's Tom T. Hall Appreciation Day. For those who have never heard of him, Tom T. Hall is a (now retired) country singer/songwriter from the 60's & 70's, when he was a superstar. Anyway, back in the early 70's, when the school that my kids attend was first opening, they had several fund-raising concerts, and Tom T. Hall was booked to play. Before his show started, he walked over to the train depot (the same one across the road from Bernie's store) and was moved to write the song "God Came Through Bellville, GA". It wasn't a smash hit, but it was on his biggest album, "Country Is".
We've decided to dedicate a plaque on the depot in his honor, I've already signed the resolution declaring tomorrow as "Tom T. Hall Day", and we're having an art exhibit. Then later that evening we're having a huge pancake & sausage dinner, and live music. It should be fun!
Here's the song, if you're interested:
We invited him to attend the celebration as the guest of honor, but he said his health won't allow him to travel. He recorded a 10 minute note of appreciation that we'll play during the dedication, and we're sending him a second plaque. I'm looking forward to my last official function as mayor.
I hope y'all have a great day!

I hear ya...one of THOSE days...but that only means tomorrow will probably be a lot better (since it can't get too much worse?).
That sounds like a fun weekend Irish.Afternoon all
Hope you are all well.
Another storm forcasted for this weekend so it will be a weekend in front of the TV and some Christmas movies
Thanks Crown. Brent and I will try to fill your shoes (hard to do).
I joke sometimes...the only bigger expense than a car...is a woman
. Then again maybe jokes like that are why I'm single lol.But seriously...cars are very big expenses yet I can't imagine not having one. I'm not a public transportation type of person at all.

Happy Friday, Brad!
Thank you for sharing Tom T. Hall's song about Bellville! How neat!
Enjoy the celebration tomorrow!
I'll be thinking of you, I know tomorrow will be bittersweet.
Have a blessed day
Good Morning, Everyone!
So far a cool cloudy day here (highs in 50's today), but with some hot coffee and music it's not so bad. I have a birthday party to plan and prep for. I have two daughters whose birthdays are both on Oct 31 and my husband's birthday comes shortly after. So, a party for three!
I did not get to making my Christmas cards yesterday, but I will try to get at them today. Very soon it will be time to send cards!
Have a great Friday, Everyone, and a nice weekend too!

Sorry to hear that.
Hope you find a reliable car, for a good deal!
They sure can be a pain...!
It is a chilly day! The temperatures aren't too bad, but we have rain and wind here, so it's that damp type of chilly. Hope you guys see some sunshine.
Good luck and have fun with the birthday party prep!
Enjoy your day =]
That's great that you can work on your audio editing. At least you won't fall behind! I completely understand about all the costs at once. We had an expensive car repair also a couple weeks ago and it ended up needing something else a few days later Grrrrr! Let's hope this is it now for all of us.
Sending tea and shortbread biscuits
Thanks Irish. It's a good day even though very hectic but it will be slowing down soon. I only just saw about the storms this weekend. I'm glad I don' t have to leave the house tomorrow. Stay safe and cosy.
That's crazy MerryCarey, sorry to hear that.
Afternoon all
Hope you are all well.

Happy Friday irishsnow!
Hope the storm isn't too bad, be safe. Have a nice day and a great weekend!
Sorry to hear about your car Missiechick, hope you guys find what you're looking for.
Have fun with the party planning! Sending early Happy Birthday wishes to your daughters and husband
Hope you have a wonderful day!
