on a tombstone in East Texas:
"I told you I was sick ...."
Just had knee surgery ....OUCH ! Result of falling off a cliff almost two years ago. Laid up over Thanksgiving week then back to work on crutches for a while. Our church, First United Methodist of Smithville, is producing "An Appalachian Account of the Christmas Story" as a musical drama with sets built on a vacant lot, lighting, etc. with great choir pieces. If you can make it, it's on Dec. 4th at 6,7 and 8 pm. It's free and hot chocolate and cookies served afterward with alternate indoor location in case of bad weather. It'll be a hoot. That's all for now .....ciao. Stan
