Mr. McCain, Mr Obama while you are in Mississippi, I would love for you to drop by for a visit on my front porch...

My Bread pudding....many folks claim it is the best they have ever eaten.
My carmals
My Baklava

My daughter, she will be awake by the time you get here.....

HCG July 3 2008
I use to be a good cook, and didn’t mind saying so….without a doubt I made the best hamburgers ever, and my liver and onions were to die for…I could go on and on. But apparently I do not cook much anymore…You all, last week I went to use the stove…poach some eggs or something…my stove was dusty….Do you hear me dusty! Not greasy from frying…not crusty from pots boiling over…Dusty from lack of use…

Oh! I have been conducting an experiment, (now that I live alone I am noticing, I have begun to do some bizarre stuff. But of course I do not recognize my behavior as unusual, until I open my mouth, then I get that look….you know the one, raise eyebrows and perplexed stare…. that look the old ladies get, who live alone with their out of control cats and spoiled dogs, in big, old, dilapidating houses. What goes around comes around; I gave the look, now I am getting the look…I have gotten the look most recently while explaining my experiment.) Now then, Back to my experiment; as you know the price of everything is going sky high; laundry detergent cost nearly $15 a jug, I went to wondering if I could use liquid dish soap…It takes such a little squirt to get a nice suds. You all, it works! And I get very dirty!….. I am here to report, my overalls are clean as a whistle, except for the blotches and streaks of paint…dish soap does not get paint out but, Tide didn’t ether. My Experiment may be a grand success because of our water over here in Edwards, granted it is brown, but, it is very soft….

Well, it has been settled Mr. Obama or Mr. McCain will be the next president of these United States. I suppose it is too much to ask that it be a civilized race to the White House…. Why can’t each candidate tell us how they stand on the issues and let go of the name calling and mud slinging? Why do they have to holler and yell, scold and scream?

But that vicious strategy of campaigning must work for the candidates or they would not continue to use it. What does that say about us Americans? We the voters? We tune in to the nightly news eagerly, just hoping, to see a bruised and wounded candidate, not only being ripped to pieces by his opponent, but also by the press, and those media people, they rip, and tear with such glee. And the speculating the news people do ….It is shameful!

We are appalled at the thoughts of dog fighting and Cock fighting…It is unlawful….people go to jail for such….But we don’t mind watching, fellow human beings, our candidates being publicly humiliated….by rhetoric which often by the next day or two we find out, was not based in fact.

What astonishes me is that we can get anybody to agree to run for president or any political office for that matter. I have come to wonder how many first-rate, capable, people stay out of politics just because of the brutality of it all….Not just them, but their families are brutalized.

Mr. McCain, Mr. Obama will be debating in Mississippi…Didn’t I hear that? At Ole Miss? Baark, John, while you are you Mississippi I would love to have you drop by my front porch…. come have a glass of mint tea and a green bean sandwich. But Let me hasten to add, I am not inviting you to a debate …I believe you can tell a lot about a person and where they stand by ordinary conversation about everyday happenings.

Before you come to my porch I must warn you…do not try to win my vote by telling me what you are going to give me for free …tell me what you are going to do for this nation and how you plan to get our economy healthy to where we can earn our own way.
Love to all and call if you need me.
Happy Birthday America!!!!!
