To John's Obituary

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/newsobserver/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=127525451

Now living in Youngsville. My occupation was International Import/Export Customs Regulations/Law for 26 years. Took a very early Retirement. Do need to find a part time job though. To much time on my hands.

Take it one day at a time.  

I have been through so much over the past 2 years including the death of my father, if you knew everything I've been through, you wouldn't believe it. The most important thing I've learned over the past 2 years is no matter what you have been through there is alway's hope and friendship.

Treat people the way you would want to be treated.

The picture of the kitty is Zoe Raine. Persian. See attachments. Updated Pictures Oct 22nd.

Sorry to hear about your dad. Did you see my quote on I wonder's blog today? I think it was from the Jack Lemmon movie, "Dad." Anyway, it's: "Sometimes the greatest man you'll ever meet...is the first." Just a comforting thought (I hope).

Hey John...How ya doing? Are the fires in California anywhere near your family? I've been watching it on CNN today and it's just so scary. So many people losing their homes and being misplaced. Just terrible....praying for everyone out there.

LOL me? trouble? nah...haha. Have a good night, hope you sleep ok! I had a virus for 3 weeks and it was so hard getting to sleep. Hope it's easier for you.

Hey....... Where ya been man ? Are you better?

yep, if your house isn't built on stilts and it floods, its your own fault! what, you haven't retrofitted your car so it will float?? hope all is well out in the boonies!

Well hello John!!!!!

Hope your doing GREAT :-)

Happy humpday my friend!

John, long time no talk!

I see that you've been under the weather, sorry. Hope it didn't interfere with Linda's visit - did y'all still go to the Fair?

Aren't these fires in California frightening? I have a niece in L.A. that I will email and see if she is OK, I really don't think she is too close. This isn't near the house you sold, is it? Wow, wouldn't that be a terrible thing, to buy this lovely house and then lose it to a fire.

We are planning to go on the Remodeler's Tour this weekend. This is the third year in a row, and there are always some fantastic houses to see. It's only $5-6 and you can see one house or several.

Let me know how you are.

Susan

Good morning, Panthers. Loved your updated pets gallery...Zoe looks like she was made from little pieces of cotton, doesn't she? So, so cute. Hope you're feeling much better and have been able to enjoy the company you have at your house. Any chance we'll be seeing you this weekend? I really hope so!

hey john...hope you're having a good day...mine is pretty much sucking, but i'll live...i'll send an email this evening...hope you're feeling better :)

I hope all is well with you. I hope your kitten is doing good too.

I'm posting to myself just to let everyone know I'm missing you all a great deal. Reason is (most of you know) I have a very dear from in town from Arkansas and have been very busy. Just got home from 3 day's in the mountains. I try not to get on the computer to much. when I do I just get lost into it and that wouldn't be very nice to linda. She's going home Thursday so when she leaves I will be able to get back into the swing of things. You know when we had that Rain Friday. It was wide spread. We had a down pour consistant from Raleigh to Statesville even had to pull over a couple of times. Once we got to Statesville it cut off. Almost like someone took a knife and cut the weather in half. So strange. I checked my rain gauge this morning and there was another 4 inchs of rain in it. That's makes it a total of 8 inches for Youngsville since Thursday. I wonder if our run off got a lake or something. If no, sure seems like a wasted of water. So Youngsville had a total of 8 inchs of rain

The 8 incs is from Wed to Friday. Wed was 4 inces and Friday was 4 inches. To bad it did fall somewhere that we coulde benefit from it like feeling up the lakes and such. No what I mean? HUGS at ya. I'll try and stay in touch more offen until linda leaves on thursday. They i'll get back to normal. So many Golo's and e-mails to catch up on If your up to it and feel like it can you help me out. I haven't even been into the the Chat line yet and I want to but if you can remember just real sweet and shor let people know I'm here and no ignoring jusst have friends from out of town and no much time to golo.

Sue by the way I feel much much better now. Back to my old self. LOL

Good morning, Panthers, I'm so glad you're feeling better. I enjoyed your cat update; they sound so very cute!! Have a great Monday.

hey john...glad to hear from you...the special project at work has been postponed, so i'll still be around...will check email as soon as i get home this evening...hope you have a good day! :-)

John,

I was living in a condo in North Raleigh when it flooded during Hurricane Fran. Two feet of water gushed in under the sliding door, I lost everything on the first floor. Thankfully my financial records and family pictures were upstairs. If I had lost those pictures, I would have just curled up into a fetal position and lost it. It was quite a trick to round up the cat carriers as the water rose and pack up the cats and get out. I'll have to tell you about it some time. You are quite the gallivanter! Here there and everywhere...I saw the new pics of Zoe, she is growing fast. Yesterday we wrestled Bonnie and Meg down and clipped their claws. Whew! Glad that is done for a while - not the favorite thing for any of us.

TTYL,

Susan

Good afternoon John, and happy Monday to you! I bet you had a great time in the mountains. I was sooo happy with all of the rain that we did get. Even though it didnt cure the drought, I am sure it helped somewhat. It is cold and breezy here, the sun is kinda shining. But still cool, this is my kind of weather. Now just waiting for the rain to return again...how is your day thus far?

That sounds like a wonderful day. I admire you. You have a great day as well. I will keep in touch..ttyl

Hey Man - I sent one back to you - Glad the trip went well.

I love the mountains. I'd like to live there someday. Glad your new addition is doing good! Best of luck to you!

Good morning John, happy Tuesday to you! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello John!!! And how are we today? Hope you have a nice Tuesday!! Any new critters?? I think my Junebug is deaf :-( He is hitting 10 yrs old.

You talk to him or make a noise and his ears dont move. I worry bout em cause he dont like to come in the house. I put a box outside, he sleeps in that. Least he knows he is protected if he cant hear. (I hope)

Good afternoon John, your mac salad sounds yum. I love my moms. I am sure yours is just as good. I have been working today. Can you believe it? LOL..Well, enjoy your day. Sounds like you and Ms Linda have a good night ahead of you..it is always a good night when the grill is up and running..LOL

hey john!...i know you're busy...hope you have a good day!..will send you an email later :-)

Totally understandable with company!!! Glad to hear all is going well and she is staying a extra week!

I haven't thought one thing bad about you not being around. Lordy mercy.. never. I know Linda has had a hard timea nd frinds is the best medicaine she can get . Thanks the lord she has someone as you to be there. I'm glad she's deciding to stay and yes it will do her good to have the time needed. I have hardly been on anyway. Just s blog now and then. You guys take care and give Linda a hug from me. I hope she can find some solice soon.

Hi John - I hope things get better for Linda...HUGS

"Sleep tight and have a great Wed. HUGS Back at ya."

HUGS John, for taking care of Linda...my name is linda, too

I've understood. I am so glad she is getting to relax and enjoy this beautiful country. Haven't you talked her into just staying on with us southern folks.? I bet those wreaths are pretty. I'm glad she made them for you. Does she like our southern state? I bet she has enjoyed this visit and you enjoy the rest of the visit....

Hey Man ........... Caught you!!!!!! What are you doing> I just emailed Lolly about Mary to give her the update...... Did not know you were around......... lol!

Hey John - I prefer Lolly. The year I was born, ever other girl was named Linda, Debbie or Susan. I enjoy having a unique name - finally. My hubby and kids have even started calling me Lolly. Isn't that funny...:D

Hey John - It sounds like your home has been a haven for her!! A place where she could recover from her loss....

Good Morning. I didn't realize you had company. Glad you got to see a dear friend and spend time with her. I know you will be glad when she is settled in Australia so you can go visit.

Good morning, Panthers, it was great to hear from you! Glad you're enjoying the company of your friend. What does she think of Zoe? Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday.

good morning john!...it's great to hear from you...i've missed you, but i know that linda has needed you...i'll get that email to you as soon as i get home...hope you have a great day and i'll talk to ya later! :-)

Hey John - thanks for the pics, I am still laughing.

Hey John, jus wanted to stop by and check in.

Hope all is good your way.

Good morning John and happy Hump day to you!
