ROLL CALL TO ALL MEMBERS !!!!

[Wilma]

And I am going to keep her.

[Teresa]

You can have her...

[Mom70x7]

You can have her...

My grandfather liked polkas, so I grew knowing some of them. 

Johnny Rivers had one titled: "I don't want her, you can have her."

I will NOT give the rest of the lyrics because they are so not appopriate in this instance.     
The song just popped into my head when I read your posts.

[Joanna]

Well, if you say so...

I LOVE that song.  It's on a CD that I play when I'm out working in the yard. 

Gotta keep smiling!

[Diane Amberg]

I don't want her, you can have her, she's too hot for me!

[W. Gray]

I remember it as she's too fat for me.

It was a hit in the late 40s or early 50s and us kids would go around singing it, but Mom would get all over us.

[Wilma]

It was, "too fat for me".  Diane is just being nice.

[Mom70x7]

I knew it was "fat" also - but didn't want to post that and incur the wrath of Janet! 

Besides, after looking at me, she is definitely not fat!        

[Diane Amberg]

I'm just revising history a bit. I do know what it really is.

My name is Jennifer Walker. I am a mail carrier in Independence. I am 33 years old. I come from Tyro, originally, grew up there for the first 18 years of my life. My father was Marvin Mattocks who was raised in and around Cedar Vale and attended school there. My mother is Donna (Stephens) Mattocks and she was raised in Sedan and graduated school there. My parents moved to Tyro after they were married and once they got my brother, sister and I raised, moved back to Chautauqua County in the Moore Prairie area. My father passed away in 2004 and my mother still lives on the farm south of Sedan. As I said, I was raised in Tyro and attended school in Caney. I moved to Sedan in 1993 and began work at the Sedan Times Star as Assistant Editor. After working for the health clinic in Sedan and Pleasant Valley Manor, I was finally hired in Independence at the Post Office in January of 2001.

My husband is Robert Walker Jr. and he grew up in Sedan and attended school there. He's 38. He is the oldest child of Robert and Janice (Carra) Walker. His father, Robert was born and raised in Sedan. His mother Janice was born in Wichita and raised in Cedar Vale.  He was lucky enough to meet me in 1993 and we have been together since! He attended Fort Scott Community College. He works for Elk County Road and Bridge. He's a member of Hope Lodge #155 and also on the volunteer fire department here in town.

We are the proud parents of 3 children: Robert III, Kaitlyn Nicole and Cheyenne Brooke. We moved to Longton at the end of 2001 from Sedan and have enjoyed every minute of living up here in this wonderfully peaceful little town!

We call ourselves "kshillbillys" because we feel that we were raised in the wrong part of the 20th century and both wish we had been raised in the early 1900s. We enjoy the simple things. I may sound like a hypocrite since i'm typing this on a computer and can't live without cable tv or a cell phone, but the simpler life would have been wonderful. Robert can do without a telephone but I know he couldn't do without his cable tv! He loves bluegrass music, raising his chickens and goats and tending a garden. He also love antique toys! We both enjoy antique cars and trucks and taking our 1947 Chevy to car shows and parades. We like classic movies (Penny Serenade with Cary Grant, The Quiet Man with John Wayne, Night of the Grizzly with Clint Walker, The African Queen with Katherine Hepburn, Old Yeller and Where the Red Fern Grows) and classic tv shows (I Love Lucy, The Beverly Hillbillbillies, The Andy Griffith Show, Green Acres, The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie). We aren't much into sports but you will find us parked on the couch watching Nascar every Sunday during the season.

This is probably more than you wanted to know about us, but now ya'll know more about us than anyone else does! Thanks ya'll for making us feel welcome!
