Hey everyone!  Remember me? I haven't read the blog in a really long time, but I did try to skim back through to catch up.  I do have a couple of questions and sorry if they are repetitive.  I am behind. 
Steve and Teresa~  I can assume that Teresa is working at the Greenbrier?  Where is Steve now? 
Mom~  A puppy?  Really?  It would have to stay at Addy's.

Is anyone bringing Nachos and Cheese to Labor Day?

We just got back from camping at summersville and the kids had such a good time.  I posted pictures on FB.  Love you all 

Rita
Goldie can't shed any light on the situation for a bit. She is still in Oklahoma. Our brother, Leroy passed away.
Julie

I believe the fence is good. Its probably the corner where we took it down to dig the graves. I will try to look into making it permenant again.

Steve Treadway

Hey Ya'll

Ya know how Mommy used to say that Mary and Alma would show up sometimes just when she needed them?  Well, Mary showed up at my house, shelled the remainder of my peas while I canned downstairs and then she made me blackberry dumplin's!!   I know ya'll are lickin' your lips!  I had 31 pts. of the shelled peas.

Now, About the cemetery!  Wanda, Alma's daughter, told me at church last night, that when they went up there to mow, Eddie Hampton's cows had gotten through the fence into the cemetery and knocked over some tombstones.  Myrtle's family are the ones mowing now...Wanda and her family, Mary's family, Lester...What do you all think about us (the Treadway's) getting a fence put around it.  If we don't, the cows will run on the cemetery.  I don't think we want that.

Wanda also told me, that the cemetery has extra land alotted that can be fenced in.  Of course, we would have to probably have it surveyed and such and such.  Goldie told Mary also,  that Eddie was responsible for keeping the road up.  Mary said that it was maybe in the contract when Eddie bought the place.  Goldie, can you shed some light on the situation. Just thought I'd throw this out there.  What do ya'll think??

a picture for you

I hope you can see these little varmits. They were in the Pear tree
beside my "Corn Patch" this morning. I am happy to say they have,
since, met their demise, thanks to Blain's dad. There were 5 of them.
I was going to post "before and after" pics, but I knew Monica
probably couldn't have handled that. LOL
I will be on the lookout for "Mama" to return tonight to fetch her
little ones, AND GET A SNACK of corn!!!!

Yes, this is the family reunion like we had at our house. I do not know if any of Vonda's family is coming.

I have a question about Labor Day get-together.
Is this the Family Reunion like you had at Ruth's house? Is Vonda any of her family coming?
Just wondering since there was mention of the White Elephant exchange.
Thanks for the recipe Rita.
Love to all,
Julie

David:

We have plenty of room for you and Boost boy!

Rita:

I start work in 2 weeks. I finish up this week and then I'm taking a week off to try and finish up some projects. Teresa likes her job, just not the shift. She hasn't met anyone famous other than some golfers. Not Tiger though.

I'll make the strawberry cakes for Labor Day. Ya think 2 will be enough??  Steve, I'll get you one this week. Probably Wednesday evening.  My garden is coming ready all at once.  Guess that's expected when you PLANT it all at once.  I put 25 Qts. of Sugar Snap Peas in the Freezer and the vines are still producing quite a bit.  I'm giving them to everybody.  My other row of Peas (The kind you shell) needs picked today.  Then my Green Beans will be ready about Thursday or Friday.  My garden is the prettiest I've had in some time.  We've had plenty of rain.  Teresa, How is work going?  Meet anybody famous?  Has Tiger Woods stopped by?  Steve, When do you start your new job?  David, I hope Devon can come with you.
