Reckon I'll go tack a tarp across the largest door opening to block some of the wind while I work on making the people door.

Quote:

(Big John, Big John)

(Spoken)
Ev'ry mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big John.
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said "Hi" to Big John.

Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Loosiana fellow to the Promised Land, Big John
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd
Breathed their last-'cept John

Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, Big John
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Then a miner yelled out "There's a light up above!"
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
Now there's only one left down there to save, Big John

With jacks and timbers they started back down
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

Now, they never reopened that worthless pit
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
These few words are written on that stand
"At the bottom of this mine lies one hell of a man, Big John"
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

Jimmy Dean, long before he started selling sausage. If I remember correctly, he was from this area, as is Roy Clark

Three Bells by Brown Family Three Bells Lyrics There's a village hidden deep in the valley Among the pine trees half forlorn And there on a Sunny morning Little Jimmy Brown was born All the chapel bells were ringing In the little valley town And the songs that they were singing Were for baby Jimmy Brown Then the little congregation Prayed for guidance from above "Lead us not into temptation Bless this hour of meditation Guide him with eternal love" There's a village hidden deep in the valley Beneath the mountains high above And there, twenty years thereafter Jimmy was to meet his love All the chapel bells were ringing Was a great day in his life 'Cause the songs that they were singing Were for Jimmy and his wife Then the little congregation Prayed for guidance from above "Lead us not into temptation Bless oh Lord, this celebration May their lives be filled with love" From the village hidden deep in the valley One rainy morning dark and gray A soul winged its way to heaven Jimmy Brown had passed away Just a lonely bell was ringing In the little valley town 'Twas farewell that it was singing To our good old Jimmy Brown And the little congregation Prayed for guidance from above "Lead us not into temptation May his soul find the salvation Of thy great eternal love" Source: click here

Laundry, dishes, the usual. Nothing exciting to report. Well, I guess I need to make costumes for the kids. That'll be fun.

How's life with water?

I went into my room to get some clothes on. My eyes fell upon the bed. I sooooo wanted to crawl into it!
Instead, I started to get stuff done in the bedroom. I am now laying here, with my head on a pile of shirts. Too cold to sleep, too comfortable to get up!
