Don't Be Surprised

Your old mother did it again! When you get your Valentine jokes, the first one needs to be fixed. Please take out "going you" from the sentence. THEN it makes sense. Sometimes, when my fingers do the walking, they forget to take my brain along. My grandmother used to say: "Haste makes waste." Sorry about that.

When you send out 60 Valentines and you are OLD, you are bound to make a mistake or two. Usually it comes from trying to hurry too fast and not proofing or spelling checking. On this send out, I am guilty of both.


Thanks Mom.

We look forward to seeing them.

Love,
Shawn

Lynnville Photo from Donnette

Myrna,
I have been corresponding with Nedra who is a granddaughter of Lynnville Bonham Smith who was a son of Thomas Smith and his 3rd wife Margaret Bonham. I had a photo that I thought had Lynnville and his half brother, Herbert James Smith, in it, and put it on your CDs of the Smith pictures.

Nedra sent me a picture of Lynnville and thinks the second man on the left in the picture isn't Lynnville but that the man 3rd from the right in the picture is Lynnville and she is probably right.

I'll have to give everyone a new CD after awhile.
More fun,
Donnette
