Wow, sorry to hear that Jake, one of Bonnie's brothers, is in the hospital. Sounds like maybe Bonnie is preparing to go there. The "Comet" was a theater that doesn't get mentioned much. I thought it was funny that Bonnie stopped in at the music store, didn't buy any music, and then went and bought candy and went home. We had a good Sunday here in 2012. Mom joined Springwood Baptist.

I think it's funny that Bonnie mentions all these people in his posts and then says it was a lonesome day. Pretty neat to see that yesterday was Mary's birthday. That's my great-grandmother. She was 20 in 1915, which means she was born in 1895 and would be 117 if alive today! The money was really flowing on September 1 and I guess that is because Bonnie was paid or "paid off" as he puts it, the day before. The had ice cream and even bought candy. Here in 2012, it is Labor Day weekend. We went to see a movie last night and are going back down to Mom's tonight to look at beach houses to rent via the computer. Church attendance was a little down today. The weather is hot, muggy with some rain and storms.
