SING ME A LULLABYE

Okay...is someone computer literate? Perhaps we could do a cd of favorite songs...and even if we can't this year, we can list them here, and maybe we can do it for 2008...I've been trying to think of a favorite I would like to have on a Vowell Sounds CD...Right now, for some reason I keep coming up with

Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez and
Ode to Billie Joe (because it has Tallahatchie in it, as well as Bobbye Streeter is from around here (greenwood)

Ruby...Fly me to the Moon and
Barbara Allen...at least she used to sing those for me.

Memories from Cats requested by Scarlett for the family

Sentimental Journey..request by Manager 1 for Imogene and Franklin

Battle of New Orleans (1959) Jimmy Driftwood...request by Camellia for the Good Ed and the New Oleans crew...can't you just see the Good Ed singing that on Granny's porch while we tried to swing high enough for the swing to fall?

You Belong to Me...request by Camellia for Marjorie Powers

Manager 1 says:
Jackie W.- My Funny Valentine? What do you think?

Memories from Cats requested by Scarlet for the entire family

Born and Raised in the Boondocks - for the whole crew - if you weren't born there you definitly were raised there! -
Manager 1



who wants to play?

Does anybody recognize this vase? No, I don't think it's going into auction, but browse this site for auction items.

Can anybody make a t-shirt quilt? I think they are fast, and I feel many of us can contribute a t-shirt for a square. The kitty can pay for the materials or to have it done, and the auction price could start at that amount? Anybody interested?

Jack will of course help with the auction. He loves thinking he is selling something. It is in his blood.
Just look how happy he is after living with me for 50 years.

PEASE PORRIDGE HOT---WHO'S IN THE SUGGESTION POT?
get your name listed here, and receive a chance to win $25 Friday night, April 14 at Lake Tiak O'khata

Jean's in for her musical jamboree suggestion. I wish somebody could teach me to dance.

Josh..wants the return of t-shirts...

Brandi...great baby blog

Becky...is posting

Kylie gets her name in this pot, for a chance to win $25 because she is the youngest who has responded to reunion e-mails, and that makes me happy. Thanks for the support, Kylie.

Saturday, February 11...Sandra gets three entries in the suggestion pot...

Sandra--Saturday night at Tiak O'khota...would anybody be interested in watching some chick flicks at the cabin...jammie party for the non-poker types...


Sandra--have the pancake breakfast Saturday morning, and the Easter meal at 4:00 on Saturday, which would leave time for lots of activities (egg-dying, pinatas, picture taking) in between?

Sandra--have an "I remember when..." blog where everyone could contribute if they remembered the event...like the time at (Sardis? Grenada?) when the toddler (Pat?) went under the chain link fence headed for certain death in the ditch below. People yelled, "Pat went under the fence." Was Nell holding a baby? Was the toddler Pat? Was she wearing a dress? Who grabbed her? Why were we there? When were we there?

Okay, Pat and Sandra...a Voices blog (thanks, Carlene) is coming soon.


Donna--she suggested a blog!
Jo--for being game to learn something new "NOT FAIR Donna dear ! ! I do not blog, don't know how to blog and don't see any kids of any age enough to tell me so I think I need my name in the pot just for reading e-mails. Whatever it is I think it is great and you are so smart for doing it, I will keep reading, maybe something will sink in. "
Pat--i think that we should have a vowell town memory 'site' and then all of the memories of the vowell clan could be printed out by aunt jo since she reads emails and put in a binder....or maybe we could auction it off since the quilt will not be ready until 2008.......the memories could go farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr back....
Sue--we could have a puzzle swap (usually jigsaw, but why limit things), where folks bring puzzles that they want to get rid of, I mean that they want to exchange for another puzzle that someone else brought.
Ed...for his ice cream suggestion and commitment
