So, he's, he's about ready to retire, another year and he, Yeah, he sure is, he just became a grandfather. Yeah, I heard that. It's, it's daughter, it's his daughter that, Uh, uh-huh.

oh gosh, it's like Elijah, or something like that. Oh. I keep forgetting, what, what she named him. Oh. His middle name is Chris, or Christopher for for her daddy, Of course. but I think it's Elijah Oh. It starts with an E. Yeah, yeah. I can't remember Oh, so you've heard the Richardson Symphony? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, we've...
Yes. I really like those, in fact, I had a harpsichord played at my wedding. Oh, did you? Yeah. Oh. Which was real nice. I got married, uh, during the Christmas season and we played, uh, old fashioned Christmas carols instead of normal wedding marches and what not, and it was real nice, I liked that a lot. Oh. I liked ...
no, no. Just by itself, just by itself. Yeah. Oh. It was real nice. Well, that's really, yeah that's, I bet that was nice. Yeah. It went well, it was a change, you know, from your traditional, normal, you know, stuff, and since it was Christmas time and, and, uh, we had the church decorated with Christmas hollies and p...
Well actually, I play, I play the violin in, in a string quartet that often plays at weddings. Um. So, um, I always think it's a nice break from the traditional organ or piano. Uh-huh. And, it makes, it makes it nice. It makes, you know, you can say classy or it makes an elegant wedding to have something else. It does...
and, uh, we try to make contact with them periodically to see what's going on and stuff, too, so we've had a lot of stuff, you know, friends and, and things to do with music that constant, plus my husband's real big into music, too, so. He doesn't play anything, but, he just likes to listen. Yeah. And my dad and my kid...
So, Right. I think that starts in sixth grade. Probably. Oh. So, Gosh. but I don't know. He, he's, he, the only thing he's shown interest in wanting to play is the drums cause his, my brother plays, and, um, I don't, I don't know if he's really serious about it yet or not you know, it's just one of those things I'm jus...
and, and she's, we've, started her on piano so, uh, Uh. But, that's been, it's been fun, I mean it's a lot of work to see that she's prepared but it's been fun, it's been fun, I feel like I've learned a lot about the piano. I've learned a lot about playing the piano. Really? And, uh, it kind of makes me listen a little...
and we had a variety of boats at our disposal Uh, I worked for a camp for a number of years. My father was on staff there, and we had every kind of things from canoes to paddle boats, sailboats, speedboats, you name it, they had it and we did a lot of watering, water sports. But I think, uh, the thing I liked the best ...
But, uh, it's, it's a nice, nice hobby to have. Nowadays I don't think I could afford the boat or the time, nor do we live that close to a lake anymore, so things change, I guess. What are your memories of boating, or current, Uh, about the only memories that I have of boating, uh, my husband's family had a, a motor bo...
and the lake that we learned on was the smaller of the two that we had access to and it was maybe fifteen, twenty acres and it was, uh it had a lot of, uh, turtles in it. And I got all ready to go and I was down in the water and, and set to go and, uh, and just as that boat took off, a turtle bit me in the middle of th...
but I got up. And it, it was a nice, uh, nice long skiing career, but now I've gotten to where skiing is just kind of wears me out more than it does thrill me. I've, I've, uh, done about all I dare do on skis. You know, skiing on one and jumping around here and there and I, I, I know how you can get injured doing much ...
but, just from what I've seen, you just kind of work your way up to it and turn around real quick you know. Grab the rope behind you and then just let go real quick and let it whip you around. Uh-huh. But, uh, I don't know, maybe someday I'll I'll get back to that as, after the kids are up and grown and the monies are ...
Yeah, so we've been there a number of times and, uh, we're going next year. We have a business trip every fall. Well, we go on a lot of business trips. I, I don't work. Oh, wonderful. So you travel a lot. Well, we do. We my husband travels a couple times a month and in the position he's in, they don't care if I go alon...
Oh, that will be fun, too. Have, have you ever been there? Yes. We went years ago. We haven't been lately and I know they've changed it a lot and upgraded everything, but we used to have a lot of fun there. Well, you know, we went there once. In fact, we had been in Dallas and we were on our way home and we were drivin...
but, that can be fun. It, well, and that's probably, we do like the night life, to an extent and they do have a Mardi Gras night planned. Uh-huh. And I'm kind of anxious for that, but, uh, yours to Disneyworld sounds a little bit better. Did you know that next week there's several T V shows coming from there in celebra...
when I heard my topic today, I thought, okay that's my that's my favorite How easy Right. And really at our point of life our children are grown and, uh, it has just worked out really well with this, uh, position he's in. Because I can go at a spur of the moment or what have you Uh-huh. and it depends where he's going ...
And then got to pick and choose the places. Well, and one of my very favorite is Las Vegas. Oh. Uh, that I would have to say we both end up going to Las Vegas, uh, probably once every maybe year and a half. Uh-huh. And presently we have quite a few frequent flyer miles Uh-huh. and so I've just requested that they send ...
Uh, when we normally go that way, we like to go to California at the same time, because we really don't get out there as often as you could probably from Texas. Uh-huh. Our last big trip, we drove through New Mexico and Colorado and went to the Grand Canyon and, and, uh, back through Silverton and Durango and, oh, it w...
And it was oh, it was just great. Oh, there's too much to see really. Oh, I, I think that's, that's the way to, Uh, I work at T I and we have, uh, of course, started drug testing, uh, random drug testing here and, uh, I haven't gotten called yet, but, uh, I feel that it's probably it's pretty good if, if they feel like...
So I think it's a good idea and I think just the idea that you know that you may be tested might keep you off of them or get you off of them because you're, Right. I don't know that their job would be at risk, because I think they may put them into some sort of a program to get them off of drugs. Right. I would think t...
Uh-huh. and you expect them to do their job and it, it is possible that, you know, that they can't do as good a job, uh, as they might do. That's right. Uh-huh. Oh, and, of course they can also cause injury to other people. Uh-huh. If they're, if they're not, uh, you know, fully functional mentally while they're doing ...
so I've, you know, had a, they they talk a lot about drugs there So, Right. and I think it's good that they're trying to start some programs down in the elementary schools. Right. But, you know, I think they can test all they want for drugs you know, and if they need to do that as a condition for employment Uh-huh. an...
You know, I think personally I'm for it. There's several reason why I, I could think of right now why we shouldn't have it such as drug testing, they say, runs approximately a thousand dollars a person every time you do it. Really? And, It's that high? Yes. And, oh, yeah, it's very expensive. Oh. And, uh, I didn't real...
Just lucky to have jobs. and if they weren't spending all the money on drug testing, people could have got a raise. So, see, there, you know, there's different, I don't think that that's, that, I think that's more of a personal view of mine other than a, a yes, sir, we should have drug testing because there's really a ...
Theirs might not run a thousand dollars. *Their's Theirs Our, from what I understanding here at T I, they run close to a thousand dollars an employee. Well, maybe they run, I don't know, you know, that's just guessing it. Maybe they run a lot of other tests, or maybe it's under a health type program that it it, it woul...
two little deals, The first one, um, I helped someone repaint an apartment, and it was very easy. Uh-huh, it, was it? Yeah, and I've never painted I always thought it would be, so, you know, you'd have to hire someone if you needed to paint inside your house or something Yeah, but I know I can do it. Oh, uh-huh. And th...
so I had to get, and when I painted them, I didn't realize that we didn't have any turpentine or paint thinner or anything in the house. So I had it, had it all over my hands. At first I didn't realize, you know, I had never painted anything, so I didn't realize that I needed that. Uh-huh. I mean, I kind of knew, in th...
I had to drive to the store with paper towels all over my hands to go buy some paint thinner, and and everything like that, Oh, and then, um, downstairs in the apartment, I just we just used a latex base, and so you can drip it on, you know if you dripped it on something, as long as you wiped it up, it was real easy to...
But, uh, that you keep some, um, farm equipment in Have you painted anything recently. Wow, was it huge? Uh-huh. and, um, what I had to do is just coat this bare wood with a sealer, and, uh, I had this big five gallon jug, and it was like paint thinner. I mean I, you know, it looked just like, it was the viscosity of p...
I think though, um, we're lucky that we didn't have to do any detail work, because I don't know if I could, you know, I don't know, I don't know, must be difficult, Well what about the trim in your house? Did you have to do that? No, it was it was really easy, I just, like, what, we had a couple of different size brush...
so there was no major mistakes, there was, Did you have, uh, one coat or two? Uh, two, actually Uh-huh. um, and it, there was, um, you know, around the windows, if you got it on the glass, we let it dry and scraped it after that but that, Yeah, that would be really time, uh, a time saver. Well, yeah, if you just, you k...
Oh, me, I would have had to have taped the whole thing, and then brushed around the edges, and, and then I'd have probably rolled it on. I'd, it would have taken me forever. Why? Just because you'd be afraid to do it, or have you done it before. Yeah, well, the first time it'd probably would have taken me forever, so W...
and there was, I was just painting because I don't know how to do anything else Well, that's easy enough. So, there's a whole bunch of people. Um. So now I feel like if I ever buy a house, I can probably paint, if nothing else. I think I could probably do it uh, as long as the hardware store told me what to buy, then I...
No, I'm pretty opinionated about that and many other things as you well know. I agree with it. I think, uh, I think a company should be able to test at, any, any employee any time they see fit. Well, I just, I just don't think there's a place in our environment, you know in the work force for drugs, or alcohol either. ...
because I look at airline pilots bus drivers you know, people that really have other peoples' lives in their hands truck drivers Uh-huh. Uh-huh. That's right. That's right. it's supposed to be a huge problem with truck drivers using drugs and alcohol, Uh, that's right and I think it is a big problem with them using dru...
and, uh, if they say, Hey, you can't do this work, I'd say, Hey, I agree, I don't, I won't do that. And I think most of them have agreed to that now, although they didn't like it at first. Yeah, I think it's just like anything else, a new concept, you know, as I said, if I have to go to a testing area with my urine spe...
I, I, I wouldn't be opposed to it at all, it's just our bleeding heart liberals that would fight it tooth and nail, you know That's true. but, uh, well, Lynn, I've enjoyed talking with you. I don't know how long we're supposed to carry on a conversation, do you? It's three minutes, and the clicker comes in when it's ti...
even though teachers have other kids lives in their hands, and if they come in stoned or they come in drunk Yeah. and there was an incident in my children's high school, where a teacher stayed drunk, Is that right? Uh-huh. You just don't think of that happening with teachers And he, I really don't, when I think of drug...
it, it is, it's mind you know, well, you know, I agree with you, I know teachers are just like everybody else, same problems the same, uh, good qualities as anybody else. Yeah. Then, I think, you know, if if it came, push came to shove, I'd probably be drug tested you know, Yeah, yeah. because it does, you know, You, y...
you know, because they represent a pretty good, And that's not giving a good example to students. No, certainly not, certainly not, they don't need that example but, Okay, I missed a part of it. We're to talk about what, lawns and gardens? Lawn and garden work and what you enjoy and what kind of work you do. I'm, I'm a...
Uh-huh. Uh. We've had a late fall it seems like, the weather, in fact today it's really warm, and so many of the summer flowers are still pretty enough that you hate to pull them up, but you know you need to pretty soon. Well, that's the way this was. The, the petunias were really great. Our mums are, are beautiful, Oh...
We came here, we just moved into this, well, we moved in in November and put all, all the landscaping in this, this year. We came from nine years in a condo, uh, and working in that condo, you didn't have to do anything you know, unless you really wanted to, Uh-huh. so . So now you have the chance to really create and,...
we had a drought Oh. and, uh, took a lot of watering and a lot of fertilizing, and now it's really growing and I'm trying to establish a good root, root growth you know, for the winter. Um ours seems to have slowed down here. We're not having to mow every week religiously Really. but we're still fighting bugs, and read...
But that'll change real quick Yeah Well, he always We'll wish we'd planted bulbs and pansies already. he waits until it gets about seventeen below up here and then he calls us, Oh, my gosh. yeah it's seventy degrees here in the sunshine. So Well, Texas has gotten to where it's a real problem as far as plants, because o...
they, they have to be hardened to it that's, that's strange with me. You know, you think, Dallas, you know, almost semitropical, you wouldn't have that kind of, that kind of problem, but, Well, for the most part we don't, but we have usually just a pocket of really bad hot and really bad cold. Well, the summers have go...
I go there on business, and I really enjoy getting around and seeing the different areas with different gardens, and Texas is, Dallas is very nice. I really enjoy it there. The landscaping, the homes, the architecture, the whole thing very enjoyable gardens, Uh-huh. and my wife and I, Except for the lack of trees, out ...
this is Illinois, you're not. And, when we got out to the area where we decided we were going to live and buy a house, there were no trees because the farmers had cleared all the land Um. Uh-huh. and now all of a sudden it was being developed, and the first thing I did was planted all kinds of trees, Very good. Uh, dis...
Oh. And it's been quite a few years since I've had to think about that. Do they go to a day-care center or do they stay at, No. Uh, my daughter that has three stays home with her children, Oh, that's nice. and one of my daughters has one but an aunt keeps the baby. Oh, that's nice. But I would, I would not really know ...
Uh-huh. But we keep it down to like two to one. Oh, well, that's good. Yeah, that makes it a little easier to deal with. I've always thought, you know, it would be really tough. What if you had a fire or something with babies? Oh, I know. We, You would have to be able to have enough, you know, you'd have to be able to ...
But I was thinking, oh, my gosh, if they had very many babies, they couldn't possibly get them all out. No But you could put them in one of these cribs and then roll the crib out I guess. Right. Oh Right. well, that's neat. Yeah, that's certainly something we hope never happens. Well, do most of your day-care workers r...
Uh-huh. It's easy to get attached to them too. Yeah. How old a group, how old are the children go with this center where you work? Um, in my room they go from eight weeks to nine months. Uh-huh. And throughout the center it goes up to like age twelve. Uh-huh. So, I have the real, real young ones in my room. You've got ...
Not quite. It's a, when they start to crawl they try to climb up on things and Uh-huh. you have to be real careful all the, everything is baby proof. You know, all the doors have latches and stuff so they can't get into anything but they try. Uh-huh. Do you think there's very many really good day-care centers around yo...
but, but some people don't have a choice. Sometimes it's a have to. Yes. I hear a lot of the girls I work with, uh, constantly, oh, I wish I could find someplace I really felt good about. You know? Uh-huh. Most of them don't really feel that it's a great place to leave their kids. That is sad. And it's really bad, you ...
Oh, my God. And this was four hours later, you know. Oh, that poor child. And, uh, so, you know, what do you do? That's awful. So she has switched to a different center now and, uh, Well, I, Okay, well, just to let you know, I have, uh, two, uh, children of my own. I've got two boys, uh, one four year old and one two y...
That's great. Uh but, Well, I guess, uh, in one of the things that, that I like to do with my boys when, uh, when I get home is, I like to try and spend a lot of time with them. You know, they're not very old, so they couldn't do a whole lot, yet. Uh-huh. But they like to, uh, spend time with me. We just, oh, just do v...
Right, right. Oh. Right. Okay, uh what, Yeah, what, well, one of the things I've noticed is, one of the trends I've, I've noticed is that, uh, it's always too easy to just plop your kids down in front of the T V and let them watch movies or, or play video games or something. Yeah, I I have, can you hold on just a Sure....
keep going. No, it's okay. Uh, so that was the thing that I, I noticed that, I know a lot of people, lot of friends that we have, they have a tendency to do the same thing. And one of the things we try to do is we try to avoid doing that as much as possible. Although it really is very easy to do that type of thing. Jus...
and, other than that, I mean, there was basically, there was not educational T V or uh, you know, you got some cartoons Um. and that was it, but they, they were never that interested in it anyway. They'd rather, I mean, they'd take their trucks out in the backyard you know go out and play and stuff. Right. But, we alwa...
but, uh, kind of the same thing, our, you know, she now, lot of time spent with her, she's so busy is, uh you know, going to, you know, Uh-huh like last night was a band concert Uh-huh. and she plays on her school volleyball team and, uh, stuff like that. But, uh, we, we still, uh, oh, like to pack up, you know, just g...
And I think we probably will soon as the boys get a little bit older. Uh-huh. But, uh, you know, for right now, they don't, you know, just getting out in the front, and just being outside is good for them because they like just being outside. Oh, yes. Yeah, I, I think, our kids just always dearly loved that, you know, ...
I'm, it's, it's so different down here where you go take lessons to learn to ice skate or something. You know, when our kids were little you, you got them a pair of skates Well what kind of car, uh, are you thinking of buying next? Uh, more than likely, it's going to be a Chrysler. You like the Chrysler products, do yo...
Well, you know the old sayings about Fords, what they stand for. There you go. Well, uh. That, uh, I, uh, it's, my electrical system shorted out like two or three times, and it's been torn up since April, and I, and luckily, everything was under warranty, so it's only costing like a hundred and forty dollars to get it ...
I want to, the next car I get I want it to be automatic. I see. I, uh, I, I hate driving anyway, and then, and changing gears at stop lights and stuff is really getting on my nerves now. Yeah, especially when you're in high traffic areas and have to mess with that all the time. Yeah. And, you know, when you work nine t...
I sure like the, uh, convertible, those rag top LeBarons, they really look sporty. Yeah, yeah, I like, I like that too, huh, but, uh, I, I couldn't afford the insurance on one of those Well, uh, we always, this last Oldsmobile we bought, uh, it's an eighty-seven, but we bought it in eighty-eight, you know, right at the...
I got my Mustang this time was by myself, because I got on my own, or whatever, and, um, I had said, they, they said it had to be like a first time buyer's car or whatever, and they're charging me unreasonable interest, but I've got eight more payments and it's paid for. Well, that's great. But I got it when, I got it ...
So in addition to everything else we got off the car, all we had to do is show them our, uh, papers on our first car, and they gave us another four hundred dollars off on it. So we, we got a four door this time, and I sort of went more for the, uh, the comfort factor, and, uh, I liked the smaller cars, but I'm a bigger...
drugs seems to be related to quite a bit of the crime we have now. There is a lot of theft, a lot of assault dealing with, uh, people trying to get money for drugs. Yeah. And, uh, I think that's a national problem, though. It, it, it's pretty bad here, too. It's not unique, We've had a lot of murders drug related and s...
it's, it's really, it's, and I've seen in more in Durham than I have in Raleigh or, or or Chapel Hill. Really? Chapel Hill is kind of a, a ritzy city or whatever. I mean, it's kind of, I'm, I'm sure there is problems with it, but it has a pretty low crime rate. Compare, compared to, to, Durham has probably got the wors...
Yeah. Uh, I, Well, that, and the, and the economy is so bad and, And so many people have been laid off and stuff. The economy is lousy They've done special stories on the news, local news here. Uh-huh. We had a lot of bank robberies and different, lot of break ins and stuff. I know, like a week or so ago, I live in a, ...
Well, now, do you find that security is very good in, in a, in a town home? Uh, I would say so for the majority in, in our, in my little section of the neighborhood because there is always somebody at home Uh-huh. and we all know one another and, and, on our one little section of the street we all know one another and ...
I guess you would say the neighborhood road, it runs between the high school and the, the commercial districts and, uh, I'm over the northeast part of Dallas. It's a, in a nice neighborhood. The houses here, uh, before the recession were running two hundred thousand or so and, course, everything's down ten to twenty pe...
I guess we're supposed to talk about what's being done about recycling. Yes. Well, lots, right? Right Finally. Really, what, what do you do, now? Well, we have saved our newspapers for years and years because the, uh, Boy Scouts our boys have been involved in have, uh, had a huge recycling bin, over at Resurrection Lut...
I do. Okay, yeah. Yeah, and I'm so glad when they brought out those recycling bins. Right. Have you had yours now? Yes. Yeah. Although just, just about a week ago some of my volunteer mothers that, uh, work in the library for me said they hadn't gotten theirs. Oh, that's why I asked you. Yeah. and not everyone got thei...
And, uh my garage was just getting overwhelmed. I know. And, of course, I didn't go weekly, so it became quite a big thing, Right. and, uh, Right, I'm really glad they do it. Uh, yeah, I do news, mostly newspapers and, uh, plastic two liter diet Coke bottles And aluminum cans some, Yes, yeah. but I don't use as many o...
Wasting all your time and effort and, Putting it in there. Thinking I was safe in buying those jars as far as the environment was concerned. Yeah, yeah. But, uh, you know, but it, it's not that hard now that I've got this system under control. Got your routine down. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I guess there are some places, uh...
Oh, one thing I thought about the other day were batteries, just everyday regular batteries. Supposedly, you know, leak and, and contaminate the landfills Um. Right. and, yet, what am I going to do when I have a couple double A batteries to toss out. Yeah, right. And they don't take, Probably going to throw them in you...
but I think the city one could possibly look into that or something. Yeah, that's true. Uh, if they've got these bins for all the other little items, I'm sure if people will have batteries, uh, you know, quite often to, to toss out. Right, that's true. Uh, when I was home those few days around Thanksgiving and the, uh,...
Another, Wouldn't it be nice if you could get a credit back at the end of the year Ooh, for those who are really cooperating. Yeah. Now, that would encourage it. Well, except I know it would just not be cost effective. They've already got all this money out on hiring, uh, getting the trucks and hiring people to work th...
Gosh. And we we called the City and, uh, they, they brought us a new one and they did not charge us. And they said that between three and four hundred have been stolen. Oh, my goodness. Isn't that sad? You know. It is sad. And just, You know, they paid for those things anyway. Oh, and they must be, Yeah, really expensi...
Well, I never thought about that, but there is an Arlington, like I had a call the other day from Birmingham, Michigan you know, Oh and I was thinking yeah, and I was thinking Birmingham. the only Birmingham I could think of was Alabama. Right. It's funny how many names have been used, uh, all over the country. Yeah, w...
To me, half the time it's more fascinating than some of these made up stories Yeah, it is, because you know that's it's really and truly a true thing. Yeah, it happened. You know, I read one about Bob Hope that I liked. Really? Yeah, that was real good. I'm like you, if it's not a heavy biography, you know I enjoy it. ...
Yeah, it was some time ago. Seems like it was THE SPY WENT DANCING, or something like that. Oh, it sounds like fun. It was a lot of fun because they used these real names, you know. Wonder if it was by one of those famous writers, you know Margaret Truman Daniels writes a lot those. Yeah, in fact I believe it was becau...
and they always sell well. Uh-huh. And, uh, Well, when you use real people like that, I think royalty, especially, you know. Yeah, brings it to life. I know, uh, the some of the British people laugh at us because we're so enthralled with their royalty. Yeah, but you know, that's like them being enthralled with our foot...
Oh, yes. starts out when they're small and continues through generations Oh, I always like those. and I like that. Have you ever read anything by Susan Howatch? Yes, I have. Isn't she fabulous? Oh, she is wonderful. Oh, once you I don't like to get one of her books because, I, I just live to read. I'll, I'll skip every...
it seems like she doesn't write as often as, oh, well, like Danielle Steele and those silly things. She writes the same thing. Well, she can, she can turn them out overnight, I swear. Yeah, and, and they're the same silly things, I mean, if you've read one, I mean it's, It, it's practically the same thing over and over...
I have not seen as many of hers. Well, hers are so involved, and they're so such a higher intellectual level, because she quotes a lot, you know. Uh-huh. I think she does a lot of research, too. I do too, so she couldn't possibly turn them out like some of these popular writers, Huh-uh. but oh, her books are just incre...
I don't know. Uh-huh. Maybe they're just too involved for the average person to go and sit through them, you know. They're so big Uh-huh. they're such, you know, it would be like another GONE WITH THE WIND, I guess another three hour movie Yeah. And maybe that turns people off, but look at GONE WITH THE WIND, you know....
in the beginning when it was on, you know, on route coming out I heard mixed publicity kind of good and bad, Uh-huh. Right. and then when it came out, all I heard was just, oh, how bad it was, that I didn't even want to get it. Me, either. Do you know anyone that's read it? Huh-uh. No, I haven't heard of anybody that's...
