I'm sure there are some good ones.<BR/><BR/>MPM - We can always invite her. She's contemplating moving back to Mathews, as I understand it, so maybe by the time we pull the fest together she'll be in town.<BR/><BR/>Geri - You should share some of those stories or encourage your sister to write them down. <BR/><BR/>tj - I have several theories as to why the deputy left, but I'll keep them to myself for now. Back during this particular era, there were several episodes I could cite where the public servants were less than helpful, but I'm sure that's all changed now. (She says, in case anyone of them is reading.)--Yes, that's right. They wouldn't dream of doing anything like that now....<BR/><BR/>BHE - If you seriously have done that, we need to hear the story. I know y'all have cows over there in your neck of the woods, and plenty of farmland.Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-91606783102746503742008-12-14T18:05:00.000-05:002008-12-14T18:05:00.000-05:00Been there.

Was there a robbery somewhere, an accident? Or did the "hot fresh donuts" sign come on somewhere? lol... :oD<BR/><BR/>...And btw, do you still wrap? Just curious.

Did anyone watch that show? You go girl. Hats off to you. You did it. You rounded the cows up and put them back all by yourself.

I've had to chase geese (and pick one errant one up - big fun)all up and down the neighborhood; I've herded outdoor cats with a lawn mower (I swear); and I've chased an escaped pony all up and down Route 198. I can absolutely relate to Anonymous Native's predicament. I'm not so sure I would have taken the deputy's departure as gracefully as she did, nor her parents' minty-fresh breath, but she has a better disposition than I do.<BR/><BR/>Val - I hope he does too.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous - You have a point about those darn dogs. If Anonymous Native were wearing heels in this instance, they'd have been flung at the dog. Or, perhaps, the deputy.<BR/><BR/>BN - Feeling great. Going to head out and snap some photos later today.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous Mathews Native - I'll let you answer the specific questions from your new fan club.
