POOF ! I'm an M&M

Howdy, Pardner...I am Madam Sugar Britches From Down Yonder.

Man... I think I have WAY too much time on my hands

1997-2007

I was just thinking today about how this year will mark 10 years since both Grandmothers have passed away. A few weeks ago or so the first one passed away and then in a couple weeks or so the other one. Hard to believe that 10 years has gone by. There is never a day that goes by that they are not thought about and both missed very much. At times it has been hard, I guess, because they both left us within weeks of each other.

Just before Labor Day 10 years ago Princess Diana's passing shocked the world. This may not be, for some of you a big deal, but I became a Royal watcher when she became the Princess of Wales. She was a strong woman and will be missed by her boys. Taken way too soon. I just about followed her every move since marrying in the Royal family. She was one of those 'I'm taking charge of my life and raising my children the way I see fit' kind of person. I admired that in her.

In October will mark 10 years since a neighbor, who was like a second mother to me has been gone. Again, someone who was taken way too soon. There are lots of memories I will cherish living next to her and her husband.

SERIOUS STUFF !!

PLEASE, PLEASE take note of this serious recall.

St. Patty's Day

Happy Saint Patrick's Day. Just a short note that some CONGRATULATIONS go out to Dana and Brian. Crosslake has an annual event every March to celebrate St. Pat's Day. They have a parade in town and lots of deals you can win from local merchants. Also, they hold a Pot O' Gold Medallion Hunt. Find that and you get $100.00 in Chamber Bucks. Guess who found the Medallion this year.......Dana and Brian!

Don't Forget!

Remember to set your clocks....FORWARD 1 Hour

MARCH Quotes

#1 The March wind roars
like a lion in the sky,
And makes us shiver
As he passes by.

When the winds are soft,
And the days are warm and clear,
Just like a gentle lamb,
Then Spring will be here.


#2 March is an in between month,
When wintry winds are high.
But milder days remind us all
Spring's coming by and by.
