Hello my dear friends! I hope everything is well with you. I am doing great and so is my “Boo-Boo,” my husband, Shorty Trusty. His thyroid surgery was a success and his doctor has given him a good report. We thank you for your prayers and good wishes— it all counts.
Before I go any further, let me tell you that the Lexington Market Crab Derby that I participated in Thursday was a lot of fun and I want to thank Darlene Hudson for inviting me again to try to win that first prize of $500 for my organization. No, I didn’t win but I think I picked a crab that had arthritis because that duck-plucking crab only could raise one claw when it tried to crawl. He looked kind of energetic when I picked him out of the bushel, but honey child, the more water I squeezed on him and bounced the ball and stick on him the slower he got. Terrible situation!
Okay, let’s see what is coming up in the next couple of weeks that I think you would like to attend.
