Comments: Drat it! I failed to mention the Smith Manor Burger -- two seasoned sirloin patties with bleu cheese centers. Yum! Finish with a slice of ripe tomato and mayo on nice buns.
Comments: First on the list is Chez Caldwell. After that, hands down it's 5 Guys!
Comments: Jake's on Skillman, the original (former Exxon station) restaurant serves up a fine double cheeseburger with a side of Jumpin" Jake fries and a Coke with an order of Bottle Caps (deep fried battered jalapeno slices) for the table! Now there's a meal to please any cardiologist.
Comments: OK Jud, let's try this. Donna and I went to our favorite burger joint last night, Dutch's in Ft Worth. It's across the street from TCU (and was named after one of their better football coaches, Dutch Meyer). We think it's the best burger place in these parts. FW also has Fred's Cafe which also does great burgers and gets mentioned every time there is a "Best of DFW poll". I'm sure everyone has a fav. spot. What's yours?
Comments: My Cinnamon is getting stronger every day. Thank God for antibotics. Her appetitte is getting better and she is fusing at me again when it is time to feed her. I wish I had two more weeks before I leave for vacation for her to get stronger. Thanks for all concern. Hope to see some of you at the luncheon. We have about 35. I will be mailing our 65th birthday celebration letter out Monday. Jana and Milo Milham and Sharon Reeves are going to help me after the luncheon. Put October 9th on your calendars.
Comments: Surely someone has something exciting to discuss. JS, doesn't the Witness Protection Program allow you access to a computer?
Comments: Brenda, I know that Barney and Leroy were a great team. When did he live in San Diego? David and I lived there in early 1970, in Chula Vista. We paid $125 a month for a brand-new, furnished apartment. That was a lot of money! I'm glad Barney didn't get a chance to arrest me for calling him Birnie in grade school.
Comments: Barney's shepard's name was Leroy...real original huh??? He was a canine officer for San Diego Sheriff's office and when he quit he was allowed to take Leroy with him since they were trained to work together. He told me Leroy was great with the his kids and thought he was just another kid in the family. I have always been afraid of big dogs myself...foo foo dogs are just right for me!!
Comments: I think all you pet lovers that rescued pets are being watched over by Saint Francis (I think that's the one for animals). Bless you. The only ones I ever owned were rescued pets. Will miss seeing you at the luncheon Saturday but looking forward to 65th BD Party in October.
Comments: Brenda, I knew someone whose German shepherd was named Sir. Isn't that a great name? "Your breakfast, Sir." Charloote, Roxie is 76% Schnauzer, 24% lucky. I hope Cinnamon is feeling better today, Peaches.
Comments: Hi Brenda, I am thinking my little schnauzer mix is part shi zu...(however you spell it)...........they are such sweeties and my little Roxanne has the coloring and is sooooooo sweet. I sent off Roxanne's DNA and the results were ....76% schnauzer...DUH!! and the other 24% undetermined........sigh! I reeeeelly wanted to know the OTHER 24%. However, now, Roxanne is a Registered PET.....ahem.......haaaaaa! Barney was a lucky man to be surrounded by such love! I know those furry babies comfort you now. Peaches, I am thinking of you...it seems my animals get sick just before I am to take a trip too. sigh! Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Cinnamon.
Comments: Peaches I am so sorry to hear about your cat being sick...I know how important your cats are to you...I have enjoy reading all the pet stories...even your squirrel story Barry!! I have two shit-zus...about 5 years old. Barney always used to say if anyone had ever told him he would have two little foo-foo dogs and actually love them he would say they were crazy but he did love them and they are a great comfort to me now. He was always a German Shepard man till we married.
Comments: Phyllis, thanks so much for letting us know about Mr. Manton's sister. He always comes to our Reunions and is such a delight!
Comments: p.s. Having a little trouble seeing this screen today.
Comments: Peaches, I put Cinnamon in my prayer journal...really. I'm thankful for the prayers for my Schnauzer, Colt, who is doing much better now that he's on meds for the seizures. Lynell, nitwits are some of my favorite people. "Birds of a feather..."
Comments: Charloote, my mini Schnauzer (Kramer, aptly named after the Seinfeld character) is almost 14. He's blind and deaf, has mobility issues. I'm having to pick him up and carry him outside. But he still has a good appetite and loves it when the other 3 dogs and 4 cats try to get him to play. So, as long as he's not in pain, we'll continue to pamper him.
Comments: Lynell, who is charloote? These BlackBerries are prone to typos because of fat thumbs.
Comments: Tom Manton's sister, Betsy Beesley, died Saturday, at the age of 90. Her memorial service is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., tomorrow, Thursday, July 29th at the Chapel at Grace Presbyterian Village on Ann Arbor in South Oak Cliff. Betsy was a wonderful person, highly active and well-known throughout Dallas. She and Tom both were stalwarts at our church, Trinity Presbyterian, which closed a couple a years ago after being a presence in North Oak Cliff for over 100 years; it is now Emmanuel Presbyterian -- a Spanish-speaking congregation -- at 901 N Zang. Betsy and Tom's Father -- Jasper Manton -- was one of Trinity Presbyterian's first pastors, so they were "preacher's kids," in the best sense of that term. Betsy was a member of the League of Women Voters for seems like 50 years or so. She also ran for DISD School Board in the late 60's on the League for Educational Advancement (LEAD) slate, a progressive, reform, group. The powers-that-be played hardball and threatened Tom's job, on the grounds that Betsy's candidacy -- if successful -- would create a nepotism situation. I'm sure Tom would appreciate the support of anyone able to attend Betsy's service.
Comments: Betty, what about us nitwits? Peaches, I'm so sorry Cinnamon isn't well. I hope she has a speedy recovery. It's so hard to be gone when they are home sick. And I agree; I don't know how people do this with children.
Comments: My little schnauser mix rescue is only about 1 1/2 years old and so healthy now. When I rescued her she had a tape worm and ear mites. She is so happy to be a part of our family and is extra sweet to our 15 year old Westie who is very fragile now. I understand the anxiety about the illness of our furry babies. And Jud, I too think about reincarnation....however, I would probably come back as something like a camel, alligator or ba boon. Snake comes to mind too. Haaaaa!
Comments: Cinnamon, one of my kitty cats has a bad urinary tract infection maybe kidney infection. I have started her on two antibotics. She was at the vet for 2 days. She is hiding and not eating well. She still lets me love on her during the night. I am having a difficult time concentrating on work knowing she is home sick. I leave for vacation on August 6th. She has to get better quick. Animals lovers you will all understand. I do not know how parents do it when their kids are sick......
Comments: You too.
Comments: What about us half-wit(tys)?
Comments: I love all the witty people on this site!!
Comments: Our Jack is a snuggler, too. Great in the winter! His brother fetches toys during the night, so we wake up in a surrounded by his mouse collection.
Comments: My nearly 18 year old cat, Ted (his brother Bill died 2 years ago), loves tomatoes, catsup, squash, mashed potatos, green beans, fried chicken, carrots. He also sleeps with his head on my shoulder and one paw draped over my chest. Really makes me think more about reincarnation.
Comments: A tortie Siamese sounds like a handful. All dogs and cats, and probably squirrels, horses, cows, donkeys, et al, are unique and have incredible traits. Our Beau Cat will play fetch till your arm falls off, and his brother is happy to sit there and look superior to the rest of us.
Comments: Lynell, you will get a big laugh here...I was trying to figure out what you meant by "bar-fed"....I'm so stupid! I have a cat, but I didn't get it...she is a tortoiseshell siamese named Cassie Anne!
Comments: P.S. Mike, I love the name Sneakers, and Russian Blues are smart and wonderful kitties. Please tell us more about Sneakers. Our two are American Shorthairs. They're two years old, total house cats, and they have never barfed. I know, for you non-cat people that may be TMI, but trust me -- it's an amazing catstistic. Okay. That comment alone probably sent Southworth back to bed. Sorry, Dru.
Comments: Mike, how nice to hear from you! We youngsters love you sophisticated '62ers. However, we've figured out that h.s. guestbooks may not be the best place to vent one's spleen about being done wrong 40+ years ago or to try to convince others why their politicial opinions are stoopid. If anyone wants to post such opinions, I strongly suggest a Facebook page or a blog. |
Very tired eyes. This looks a little better. Got the magnifiers out.
