Hi! I had the great pleasure of sitting down to coffee and visiting with some really good folks over Rockford Illinois way this past week. I want to give a special shout out to them, you all made the visit a good one! Hey to Larry and Laverne, Dennis and Jackie, and Joan and Jerry even though Joan and Jerry are going to Florida. I'm not bitter. I hope they have a good time. Thanks to Darlene for the stories about Dottie and the Rockford Peaches they were great. And Darlene you look beautiful in yellow! Hey to Fred. A special thanks to my new brother Mike you were a great help! Jimmy Z, what can I say...you know I love ya! Larry thanks for visiting the blog and leave me a message now and then. I will talk to Jimmy M about the archives. I'll be thinking of you over bagels ya'll! Thanks for the stories, the laughs and for everything you've done for the Comer's! I appreciate it. And please remember don't dry your undies in the microwave! Try a skillet, at least you can tell when they begin to smoke and you can flip them over to the damp side with a spatula!
