Janet gettin' along better? I believe that squirrel huntin' is better when the leaves are gone---and with a GOOD DOG!!!!!!!!! That Wiley was a good squirrel dog but he didn't want too stay put. And Snoop she just runs 'em till they go up a tree then she's done. Some of 'em thin out and I will check out a good one--like you had in Roofus.

Mike, At the moment they are in the freezer. Going today to see about getting more. Trying to catch up on gardening after being so busy last week canned tomatoes yesterday. Not enough hours in the day to do all I need to get done. It is alot cooler here today going to try to get as much done as possible. Rex maybe you could teach TD to cook! Have a good one guys. Still could use some rain. That raspberry pie I made last week sure was good too. Mike hope you have a good time tonight.

Cans down here are .80 a pound. Batteries are $10.00 a piece but I don't know what copper is selling for. Any way that was a good haul Rex. Now go out and buy that lovely woman of your a new outfit. Take her her and dine her.

Mike,we stopped on the way home ,she ate a pound or two of shrimp..nothing wrong with her appetite..Thanks for the kind words Jeff.she is getting better but as you know it takes time,,she tries to rush it a little..seen 3 or 4 coons ran over on the old route..one laying there in front of darrell warmans,he looked bigger than my beagles..another over by deadmans curve was big too..another laying where you turn to go north to paul phillips place..I think TD used to snag afew across the road there when Rickelman had it..

Rex how is the river? Can you fish it now or to low? That woman of yours knows what to eat. Fried shrimp is really good. Did you get full? My buddy went last night and made two trees and had a good corn field race which broke down. They are trying to get two dogs ready for the Super Stakes.
