    Merilee, I beg to differ! I hear your hammock calling, 'Barbe, Barbe, Barbe!' Laughing

    Our 'googly' bird has come back this year! I heard him this morning. It is too funny. Honest to pete, it goes:

    googly, googly, googly, goo

    I'll get the snacks!   I think I've seen your boat on Winneapasaukie!  (I know I spelt that one wrong!!)

    Are you enjoying more rain today?  Me too!  The mushrooms are very happy!

    And y'all sent the rain our way! Waaaaaaaaaa

    The googly bird got scared by all the rain. I'll have to lure him back with raisin bread.

    We used to have a 40' boat. Sold it about 8 years ago when it was $750 to fill the gas tank (lasted a weekend). Be careful what you wish for!

    Oh ya'll.....I'm in tears. It just makes me so proud to see our kinfolk do well for themselves. I bet Aunt Gertrude is so proud of that boy!! Ya know........that invention could really change the world........the way we "do" things and all.......who knows? We might see them thar things popping up everywhere. Bless his heart.......Uncle Leroy, that is. Did Sharon's grandpappy help with the financial end of this? That sure was sweet if he did. He's got a heart of gold.....that grandpappy. Who'd a thunk it?? I can't wait to spread the word.........yeah boy..........we're so proud! I gotta go so I can get some control over my emotions :)

    I found this update post from holtbolt about how she told her son she won the contest- you all remember voting.  I can see in her post history she posted twice and it was about midnight so my guess is that she was just too pooped to post.  So, here's what she said- it's pretty cool!

    Okay..... what a day!!!  Max is stunned.. overcome with sheer joy ... I cannot tell you how happy we are at this moment... he is texting, emailing like a crazy person... he will NOT be sleeping tonight...So, we are eating spagetti.. and we (my husband and I) decided to play the game "if you could meet anybody (dead or alive) who would it be......." So, I went first and said mine.. 1) Elvis and 2) Rod Stewart (I'm a huge fan)... then my husband went next and I don't even remember what his two were because I was so excited I wasn't listening.. and then we said Max .. who are your picks.. and I kid you not.. he says...Well, 1) Joe Perry and 2) Stephen Tyler... !!  So, I said .. you know what?  You ARE meeting them Wednesday night.... and he said "What??" with this Very confused look... like he couldn't comprehend what I just said (or he's wondering how his own mom could be so cruel as to make a joke like that I don't know (lol)..... and I started to explain and he just stared and you could tell (as we explained about the contest and people voting, etc..) that it was clickin in that this was somehow Real.. and the tears welled up and he's rubbin his eyes.. and the chin quivered a little and....... well... I have never seen him happier..... he is totally shocked... and happy and... I don't know.. .... you know... during chemo... it killed me every day seeing his face when he came in from school..... he always came in the door at 3:25 and had this scared/worried look like every day he didn't know what he'd see when he walked in (some days I looked ok (wig, makeup, somewhat normal), some days I did not.. pretty scary)... I will never forget that scared/worried look when he came through the door with this backpack.... THIS... was a different look.. this look tonight... sheer happiness and joy.. this is the best day I have had in a Very very long time... life is good SmileWe cannot WAIT for Wednesday... first we are invited to a VIP Pre show party (Joey Kramer will be there. the drummer)... food, drinks, contests for more prizes... then the meet & greet with Stephen and Joe (pictures, autographs)... then the CONCERT ... OMG.. we are so so excited... we can't stand it... (oh yeah... they also send him some exclusive Aerosmith gift bag.. stuff from the fan site store)... Ahhh!!I know this might sound silly (this contest) to some people...and I realize it's a small victory in the whole scheme of things.. but you know.. it meant a lot to me to make him smile... and this would simply NOT have happened without you guys!!!   Thank you!!

    P.S.  I cut and pasted this from the other thread.. sorry if you had to read it twice!! lol  I'm exhausted! lol
