We were heading back up the aisle to our pew during announcement and prayer request time. Uncle E says, "I saw Busha and Bucka driving to E'ville on Friday. FarmWife, were they on the way to the doctor?"
"No. They were just getting their tires rotated."
***Bucka is having gal bladder surgery on October 8th.***
There were 58 people in church this morning (including me). 46 of them are related to me.
"Famous In A Small Town"
They say life is so much sweeter
Through the telephoto lens of fame
Around here you get just as much attention
Cheerin' at the high school football game
I dreamed of going to Nashville
Put my money down and placed my bet
But I just got the first buck of the season
I made the front page of the Turnertown Gazette
Every last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tell
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
Maybe knows you just a little too well
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail
Hey words gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town
Tyler and Casey broke up
It ended pretty quietly
We heard he was caught red-handed with her mama
That's just what they let us all believe
Every last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tell
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
Maybe knows you just a little too well
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail
Hey words gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town
Baby whoNeeds their faces in a magazine
Me and you
We've been stars of the town since we were 17
Let's go on down to the quick stop
Wear your yellow shades
And I'll put on my tight jeans
And we'll just spend the weekend burnin' rubber
And we'll let em point and stare in disbelief
Every last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tell
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
Maybe knows you just a little too well
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail
Hey words gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town

Praying that Bucka's surgery is an easy one. We'll be praying the whole time we're in California!!!
And as for that 46 being related...phew! You're much much braver than I am!!!! I have a hard time with people who still say "Oh! You're (insert family member's name and my relation here)!"
As Inkling would say "Oy!"K
i'm a stranger everyday out here.
10 years and i rarely see the same face twice.
you can leave town for 1 year (6 months sometimes) and it will change to the point you don't recognize some of your old spots.
C-Town is still pretty much the same after 10 years.
me and you in Mr. How How's economics class...
what a lifetime ago that dream was.
