IT'S COLD IN WILLISTON!!!

Hey Cousins --- It's -13 degrees here today with snow flurries -- the wind chill is -23 degrees. I see that a lot of Texas will have storms and possibilities of tornadoes. You folks take care. How is everyone doing?? Life is good for me here -- glad our Eden is here with us -- she has a job at WM in the photo lab and is making friends. Floyd has actually been home for a whole week. I think they have another job starting in Feb. And it's with the same outfit that had "the well from hell" that kept him away so long. Keri is taking me to see a Dr. Diri here tomorrow - he is the rheumatoligest (however you spell that! --you know what I mean!) I sure hope he can give me something beside the stuff that I was taking because it made me want to eat ( even more than usual) and then they took me off it 'cause it's not good for you!!!!!!! Bula has taken it for years and it's never bothered her. Anyway, I'm tired of not being able to lift my arms, especially the right one. You should see me trying to "rat" my hair or just even comb it!! Let me hear from you guys now--- I miss hearing from you!! What is Deb up to??? Kay - I know you're still there!! Cathy, I know you are probably traveling but let me know how you are. Thank goodness - I hear from Candy, Martha, Susan and Celeste --I even get email from Buster once in a while!! Love you guys!! God bless! Jody

COUSINS - 1st, once-removed, 2nd, etc.

Allrighty -- On FB I was trying to explain to a gal originally from Graham what my connections were with Martha Ann, Suzy, and Buster (the Cusenbary one, not the Boda one!!) I was telling Bula about it so she sent me this family relation chart - well, would you believe (of course you would) than now I'm more confused than ever!!! I knew that Marquerite, Dorothy Dan, Jean, Kay, Martha were 1st cousins-once removed. But their kids (Linda Gay, Suzy, Deb, Leslie Allen) are my second cousins (why aren't they my 1st cousins????) Now, their kids are my 2nd cousins-once removed!! AND THEIR KIDS ARE 2nd cousins TWICE REMOVED!!!---- This is just more than this old brain can comprehend!!! BUT Dowdle kids, Uncle Dan's & Uncle Collie's kids are my 1st cousins. And Keri's 1st once removed and her kids are 1st cousins twice removed. ARE YOU CONFUSED NOW TOO!!! HA!!! Love all you whatever cousins you are!!! Jody the Elder

Happy Birthday, Ronnie

Have a wonderful day and try not to play with the grandbaby too much. Eat cake for me!
Love,
Candy

HAPPY BIRTHWEEK, LEIGH ANN

Since Leigh Ann said she was celebrating her birthday all week, I thought I'd start early too. I hope you have a wonderful week -- lots of cake, lots of ice cream and lots of chocolate!! Know she likes coffee so try the Blue Bell Coffee ice cream. (sob, I still can't believe they don't have that up here!) Buster sent me the tape of Brad's hunt that the company Leigh Ann is with made and I enjoyed it so much. He looked wonderful and the little bit I saw of her, she looks darn good too!! Happy birthday Kiddo - have fun. Love ya, Jody
