Nana looks Happy there & Michael looks like a "trouble maker"...

Michael age 5 1953 said...

The year was 1953, I know because it was the year I got a red hot marshmallow stuck to my navel...Tom Staley turned to show everyone how brown & red hot it was and the "MALLOW" stuck to my stomach, since I had my shirt off and was workin' on my tan...screaming, I ran to the creek, dove in, navel first, and quickly floated down to the falls, belly on fire, where cousin DAN fished me out, shortly before I went over the falls into a 100ft canyon, filled wit snacks, er, snakes...and everyword is true..look it up! ..the RED HOT MALLOW part is gospel true,,,the other part, I ain't so sure, it was a while ago and I was delirious from Mechanicsville Fever! After I got fished out the creek, Mother put some butter on it, still got the scar, swear to Phil onit!

The mallow story is true. I was 7, tubing in the creek & Michael floated by me screaming. My tube kept spinning me to the shore so I could not catch him...Dan was keeping a 6-Pack cold downstream & was fetching it...so that was fortunate...

I remember it. I came late to the picnic; had to work, but I remember giving Dad gas money to get home.

As common citizens, I'm sure you have all read details about 'The Big Beautiful Bill'...were you surveyed by CNN?

Watching this CNN guy it looks to me that we all Hate it! And if it passes America is screwed...people will suffer... people will die & ...
