DISQUS

John, Enjoyed reading this. Wish I could have heard it delivred in person. Ben Neal

Now you are a big time author with two sales. I ordered a book today. "Uncle Ben" Neal

So happy to be with you again on the mountain. I'll be up this weekend.

John, Being very involved in youth sports, I have received this from several sources and have passed it on to several. I have to admit, I don't recall anything touching me like this did. I still have tears in my eyes when telling someone about it. Uncle Ben

Just received mine. No postage due! Thanks.

Sooo glad you are home. With your experiences on the return trip, maybe we didn't pray hard enough.
I'm leaving in a few minutes for MTOP. Sure wish you were going to be there for Kaleidoscope. But I'll see you at Board meeting next week.

We'll miss you but will be glad to have John back safe and sound. Will look forward to your own blog in the near future.

John, I know you are ready to go. Know that you and the group will be in my prayers. Just wish I could go with you. God speed, John Carney.

Thanks for the report and the pictures. I had a conflict with the Relay for Life Celebration here and could not make the opening. Looking forward to a great summer for MTOP.

The reason this doesn't apply to women is that they require a committee to go to the restroom.

Great sermon, John. I actually read it twice. Wish I could have heard it in person.

John, Send the letter. In most cases the doctor is far removed from the billing/accounting department and is unaware of the way some people treat his clients. You'll be doing him a favor by letting him know.

John, Sorry about that. If the Memphis Airport finds it, I'll be glad to pick it up and get it to you. Have a fun visit and a safe trip home.

Wish I could see your play. I'm sure it will go well.
"Break a leg!"

Nothing wrong with "tooting your own horn" especially when it's well deserved. Congrats......

Really missed your daily postings while you were gone. Glad you returned safely and look forward to reading details of your trip and seeing pictures.
You were all in my prayers.

John, I just leaving to go to Wal-Mart and buy my Play-Doh. I, too, felt bad about not "leading" a workshop. Volunteered to help Lynn with puppetry but found she's not able to come. Had to turn Sarah down on "leading" the puppetry workshop since I don't have puppets, materials, know-how, etc. Same for Drama.
Finally, I'm assisting with music. I'm no musician but I can react with kids and help them learn.
I will have stories to tell and a magic show for the kids. I am really looking forward to the week.
And, I'm so glad you're going to be there.
Uncle Ben

Oh, how I would have loved to have been there Wednesday Night. I'll be there for the Kaleidoscope Camp in July and hope to see many of the old friends. Peace, Uncle Ben

Years ago when I was playing my wife made several cases of denim and felt for my collection.
There were individual cases (bags) and then a bigger bags to carry four or five of the individual bags. All mine were Horner and my favorite was the Chromatic in the key of C that let me play sharps and flats. My favorite was "I'm looking over A Four Leaf Clover"...
I also had a double sided harmonica--C on one side and G on the other. But, the old "Marine Band" was the standby and the one most players used to learn on. I look forward to hearing you play "Turkey in the Straw" at Mountain TOP in July. .

John, I don't know of anyone more deserving of this windfall that you. I'm so pleased that you are going to be able to make the trip again this year. I still look forward to seeing you at Mountain TOP in July.

Sounds good but I'm waiting to hear you cut loose on "Turkey in The Straw."

John, I'll be there with my bag of tricks. Loved your explanation of the SP K programs. Hope it will generate some volunteers for the summer.
Ben

Interesting! I played the harmonica for many years and really enjoyed it. I had to give it up when I got dentures about 20 years ago. A person wearing dentures can't play the harmonica and it isn't cool to take your teeth out to play a tune.
Now, I wouldn't have enough "lung power" to play but I remember how much I enjoyed it.
Look forward to hearing you at MTOP this summer.

I have my cheerios with a sliced banana almost every morning. I loved the stories. Uncle Ben

I'm excited too!
I have already marked June 16-24 and July 16-22 on my calender. I'll be at Summer Plus and Kaleidoscope.
