Dear Louie:
WOW, that must have been something, seeing that huge bus sitting in front of your house! That IS certainly something special! Bet it is pretty! Sounds like it is! What a nice thing for that person to do for your family! You are so blessed in so many ways! God has certainly been good to your family, THAT is for sure!
But I didn't know your husband sang on the Grand Ole Opry! He looks so resplendent in his black rhinestone suit and his white cowboy hat! He sure is cute! What a nice picture of your husband singing on stage of the Grand Ole Opry!
You mentioned that your daughter, Ronee', is a singer. Has she ever sang on the Grand Ole Opry? I bet she would be on there before too long, the way you brag about her singing! She sure is a cutie! And so well-mannered! Wish my kids were like your kids; my kids tend to drive me crazy at times! Do any of your other children perform besides Ronee'? If so, who are they, and do they play any musical instruments? (I can only sing; I can't play music to save my life! Do YOU play any instruments, Louie? What instrument besides the guitar does your husband play?)
Thank you for telling me what books your kids like, and also games and stuff. I will go to my cousin, and she will get me some stuff for your kids at reasonable prices. And if you want, I will get some shirts for some of your other kids if that is okay with you. I also have some stuff that the kids have outgrown, and if they are in good enough shape, I will be sure to send them to you; your kids will probably make good use of what I will be sending! So be expecting a big package from me in the next month or so!
Congratulations on your second book to be, and congrats to your daughter on HER book! WOW! I sure hope that your little boy, Johnny, writes a book, and also your husband! What do they write? Fiction? Nonfiction? Mystery/suspense? Horror? Romance? (I know Johnny, your little boy, probably doesn't do that, but I bet your husband could! LOL) Inspirational? What kind of books did you and Ronee' write? Are they doing well in sales, and are they available locally or nationally? If they are available nationally, where can I get a hold of a copy of either your book or your daughter's? I would love to write a book (writing has always been a passion of mine); but I just don't have the time, not with raising 11 kids! And here YOU are, raising a mind-boggling ~50 KIDS~, and YOU are working on Book #2~ WOWEEEWOW! LOL You must be SUPER-WOMAN or something! LOL
Well, I will write more later; I have to run outside and shut the van windows. It is starting to rain, and I don't want the inside of our van to get wet! UCH! Until later, you tell that Grand Ole Opry husband of yours to send me an autograph, and I would also like to have an autograph of your daughter's! God bless you all, and thanks!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Alaska, Anna Arnette. :)
SorrySoShort!
P.S.: Hope you like the picture I put on mine! No, that is NOT a picture of my Uncle Hiram (although, at times, he acts JUST like one! LOL)! It's just one of our resident grizzly bears that live in our state! Isn't he cute? (But best to stay away; he can get pretty cranky at times, especially if he is hungry or is just awakening from his long winter slumber! NOT good to make Mr. Bear mad! LOL)
I like it! 11 kids I can visualize!
Excellent series! You do this so
very well! I would not know
how to keep up! You must have a
magic "chart" or something! Take care!

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.
