Just the other day I saw a new commercial for a cell phone company (most commercials are for cell phones or cars) in it the woman is trimming some plants in her greenhouse and the man sticks his head in and tells her that he had ordered unlimited calling from cell-to-cell. She looks at him and says - "did you ask if that would be okay with the woman of the house?" Then she says to herself - "I should have listen to my mother and married John Clark." And that's the part that really gets me mad! I don't know about other women, but I would never disrespect my husband that way and tell him I should have married someone else. No wonder there are so many divorces in this world! What are the people who come up with these commercials thinking? That kind of thing would turn me against their product immediately. In fact, it did.

    We had a tragedy happen a couple of weeks ago. A very close and dear friend in our hometown of Hattiesburg, Mississippi died. He was only 52, and had a wife, two sons and one grandson. Russ Claxton died on July 22, 2011. We went to the Memorial in Petal, Ms. where 909 people attended. It was very sad, but we were glad to get to see and visit with some of our other dear friends. Russ we will miss you!
