Miss Becky passed away sometime durin’ the night or early mornin’. ☹ Please keep JDD and his sis in your thoughts and prayers. I will miss her. She was a great lady and my second mom. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > Big excitatement in da ‘hood! My next door neighbor is havin’ some trees cut down. Fascinatin’ to watch. The three biiiiiiiiiiig pine trees that are real close to her house are comin’ down. She’s wanted them down for some time because they are so close. Guess she finally got the $$$ to do so. Also, da cave is as spiffed as it’s gonna get right now. No sense in gettin’ too involved in cleanin’ until all the remodel is finished. The one house across the street took down a couple huge pines near it. They basically worked their way up lopping off the branches and when they hit the top they did it in sections. They secured the piece they were cutting to the solid trunk below, lopped off the piece they wanted, and then lowered it down. These were 40-50 footers right near the structure and nothing was harmed. Woke up not .long ago. Some pretty good snow last night but it didn’t stick; still cold though. And tomorrow back near 60. :smack: Work was strangely disorganized but we survived and I got a 10 hour day in for the extra effort. Make up for the time I’ll be missing soon. ---

Happy Toosday! It looks like rain outside, I with a high of 43 predicted. Have to finish up the taxes today and take them to the post office. My older friend call me yesterday and told me she went out to start her van and she couldn’t find where to put the key. I thought _oh wow_n I know she’s been sick but is she getting senile too? Nope, somebody tried to steal her van and all the ignition pieces were scattered on the floor. So now she has no car, her grandson has to use Uber to get back and forth to school. She has no money, but her daughter’s bf (who is somewhat wealthy) is going to get a car for her. Very nice of him, I think. I think she is very uncomfortable taking something from him, but what else can she do? {{{ **Swampy and friends** }}} ---

condolences swampy & friends … losing people sucks even if you know its coming … yester day it was cloudy then the clouds got dark and then poured for about 90 minutes then cleared up warmed up just enough to where it didn’t look like it rained but cold enough for the heater to turn its self on … Now its between slightly cold and slightly warm … ---

We have supped. Miss Becky’s graveside service is set for Moanday mornin’ at the cemetary in Parrott. She will be cremated as was her husband Mr. Frank. Her minister is out of town at a conference this week or it would have been sooner. So she will have a proper Presbyterian send off on Moanday. ---

> [@The\_Vorlon](#): > > The delusion has started, it’s Tuesday. > Yes, I had to check. Retired or on vacation? 😃 **{{{swampy, JDD, Sis, friends and family}}}** Miss Becky always sounded like someone I would like to know. Sis in Chicago sent a box of pictures that she cleaned out of a dresser at Dad’s. The ones that I’ve gone through are about half pics that I already have a copy of and half that I don’t. I may take a box of the duplicates to the next family reunion to give to some of the rest of the clan. Tonight is playing around in the studio. ---

**swampie** , I’m sorry for Miss Becky’s passing, but since she was a woman of faith, as you are a man the same, we know she’s in good Hands. Is everyone legal today? Taxes done? I dropped mine off at the post office about 6:30 PM. I’m one of those people, who wait till the last minute. Since I do my own taxes I don’t worry. ---
