My "Red Hot Pokers" are blooming...
Yesterday was the JCRW's (Jackson Co Republican Women) White Elephant Sale...
I worked the money table with Karen for a few hours.
I enjoyed it. She is fun. Told me about holding her baby boy during a storm and lightening went straight through a window in the room she was in and hit the wall, missing her son, just barely! OMG! That is just about the wildest thing I have ever heard of! Lightening struck close to me on a couple of
occasions.... but never through a window! (Hi Karen!):

Then PJ and Patty showed up, bought a couple things and then we headed to Olive Garden for lunch. Thanks Patty for a nice lunch and a nice time!!! I had salad and they had the soup (chicken gnocchi) and salad.
Stopped at Safeway for some items that are not carried in our local "rural" market. I got some Dunkin' Donuts coffee.... Cinnamon Spice. Mmmmmm mmmm mmmm!

Also it was our friend Tim's birthday. Talk about a baby... he was only 51! Gadzzzzz, he was born when I was in the 9th grade! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TIMMY!
Nice, Tim.
Ok, back to other births...
Here is a picture of some of "Villa's men" who stopped at my grandparents home and told them since they were not citizens of Mexico they needed to leave. They let my grandmother take their picture....
On the left is my Mom, Margaret (she was 5), the middle is Uncle Lloyd, and on the right is Aunt Agnes:
Look, the kids are holding onto rifles!
Hopalong Cassidy!
Me in my Hoppy outfit:

My children had this book:

Sue,
Oh how I wish we could have a white elephant sale! You didn't say how you did, sale wise. Where did you have your stuff set up? What event?
I don't understand where your grandparents were living when Pancho Villa's men told them to leave.
You triggered lots of stuff to talk about but think I will write a dd note and tell about it.
Good one! You were soooo cute in that picture. I can always tell it's you because of your distinctive eyes.
XO Trisha
I don't know how much we made. I'll have to find out from Ruth. We had a parking lot behind some offices, a bad location, because not visible from the street.
I said in one of my recent blogs that my grandfather John Mills was a minning engineer and he and my grandmother, uncle, mom, and aunt lived in Cananea Mexico near the copper/silver mines. After Villa's men kicked them out of Mexico my grandfather worked at the Lavender Pit mine in Bisbee Arizona where my uncle Mom and aunt graduated from high school. Remember? xo
wow, what a blog today, sue! the gorgeous red hot pokers, that wild bill for america video (which i stole and put on facebook!), my dream vacation of a lifetime; the orient express (have you all seen the pbs special about it? I saved it for when you come here if you haven't seen it.), and the info on Elvis!!!! the pic of your little momma w/villa's men is really awesome, too. just a great special day with all of that and more! judy
