Oh, Jeanne, I believe you have a country music career ahead of you! I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC. Grew up on it. :o) So, I would buy your album! I am soooooooo excited! I figured out who is getting the box first! I had to look up in our Secret Santa notes who lives in Michigan and whose name sounds like a cookie!!! :o) This is so much fun! Sylvia, thanks for getting the train out of storage! What a great idea! I can't wait to start seeing posts! I think the train would get stuck here in Washington State though! Wednesday marks the third day of no school! Gives me time to gather things for the junk box...when I'm not shoveling the roof! I have the "Petticoat Junction" theme song running through my head! "Come ride a Junk Train that is rolling down the tracks to the junction..." Sing along if you know the words! LOL :o) Bear Hugs! Kirk

Sounds good to me, susieroses...I'll fix it ... here's the original JC lyrics(kind of, like, 8 lines: I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend, And I ain't seen the sunshine, Since, I don't know when, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, And time keeps draggin' on, But that train keeps a-rollin', On down to San Antone. When I was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns," But I shot a man in Reno, Just to watch him die, When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry. I bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car, They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars, But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free, But those people keep a-movin', And that's what tortures me. Well, if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move out over a little, Farther down the line, Far from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to stay, And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues away. *************************************** JUNK TRAIN SONG OH, THE JUNK TRAIN IS A COMIN It's a coming down the track It's carrying treasured Junk and it ain't lookin back.... Maybe there's glass for dish flowers... and totems toooooooo... But when that junk box gets to TEXAS, see what I do! Yes, the Junk Train is a movin Up Michigan, that way... Along the rail it's groovin' should get there any day. So, keep it moving, all full of junk~ It's just a flat rate box but I wish it was a trunk. So when the Junk Train gets to your house... Don't forget about JT... she's our Junk Train mascot.... keep her safe from your Yor-kie, (+) And she's sharing love for you and me. So, listen, cookie lady... When you get that box of junk Dig through it once & once again And then add some more cool stuff. J.T.'s riding shotgun and looking mighty tough (thanks, susieroses & hubs)...we're ready to roll again! Jeanne S. I know you wrote this to Kirk but I stuck my nose in & just am ROTFL ...! and my e-mail before was not divided up...just keep singing EVERYONE! It's addictive! Tip of the moment: I had to hit "enter" twice after each stanza (?) to get spaces in-between...otherwise, it all bunched tog. again.

I'm ready.....let's get her fired up and rolling. I have some goodies stashed away already and am anxious to meet Campbell.

I've had no reply on the emails I've sent Ohgirl. On the other hand, the emails haven't bounced back to me so I know they're going somewhere. I'm dropping a snail mail to her today. As I don't have my local library card yet I had no luck with the Reference USA option. I even asked "pretty please with sugar on top". Marlene, would you have time to try? My bro has suggested some online tricks to try so I'm going that route for now. The local library mails you your card so all I can do is keep waiting. Here's a suggestion I received from an interested party who shall remain unnamed and please pardon my Ohio geography knowledge gap, my atlas is still in a box. : There are several of you JTers who live in Ohio. Might someone volunteer to physically check on the situation? What do y'all think? Good idea? Bad idea? Give Ohgirl more time? Thoughts? Comments? Sylvia
