Happy Birthday Lauren! We love you. We have a gift for you if you want to come pick it up!
Dear Actnuts, Kurt had lunch with his parents today. What a great experience! Last evening Kurt brought a detailed sketch of my home town, Millersburg, Pa. dated 1894. Many of the familiar buildings were in place. My home at 317 Center Street was plainly shown. My Dad and his parents had not moved from Powells Valley by 1894. Yet, the house on 317 Center Street was where it was when I was born. Kurt also brought several post cards that showed famous buildings and sights that were familiar to me.
If you like cold weather, you can go north anytime. Take a friend with you and stay up north. I am watching the blizzard up in the north east and I can remember being is many a blizzard in nice places like Austria, Germany and Korea. Snow is great until you have to be out in it 24 hours a day. Buddy and I went for a long walk today and it was cold (55degrees) that is why I am living here in Tally. Next week, spring time wll return and I will just love it. Life is great. I am proud to be a Southerner
Hope everyone had a good weekend and that you all have a good and busy fun week. It will be cold mornings for all that need to go out but the sun it make us smile. Love and Hugs.
Johnny Carson is dead at 79. He was a giant. I fear there are few giants left. But every generation thinks theirs is the only one. Ask kids today if they remember Johnny Carson. They never heard of him. Johnny was television when it was in its infancy. Johnny ranks with the greats like Frank and Jimmy and their ilk. But wnen they go, and they will all go just as we will also, there will be no replacement. The famous people these days are a flash in the pan. They come and they go and they do not make a ripple let alone a wave. But those of us who knew Johnny, for he was TV, will remember as long as we live. The giants will live on in re-runs on late night TV. So, goodnight Johnny.
Dear Actnuts, today, Barbra, Sarah, Conor and I went to the I- Max to see the Coral Reef. The movie was wonderful and I recommend it to all of you.What wonderful time for me. I love Barbra and Sarah so much and you all know how I love Conor. It was an experience I will not forget.
DAD WHERE ARE MY BDAY PICTURES??
Dear Actnuts, Yesterday was Inauguration Day in the United States. It was an important event that happens every four years. Yesterday was notable in that George W. Bush was elected to run a second term as President of the USA. Yesterday was so very unusual in the world because so few other countries are able to change their national power without bloodshed. Some nations are ruled by dictators. Still other rulers have come to power by a Coup. So, Mama, Conor and I were glued to the TV all day. FOX news channel did a magnificent job of covering the story. This was the second big event for Conor. He is not yet three years old but he has gone to the voting booth on Election Day and now he watched our President being sworn in on Inauguration Day. What ever else he does in his life, at least he will have begun properly by being a Republican. Life is great, life is good. I love you all, Dad
Kurt where are Amber's Bday pictures?
congratulations Hunter on your report card. 4 A's and 2 B's Great Job!
Glad to see all your guestbook activity dad!
Dear Actnuts, Whenever I go on Actnuts, I have to look at Kurt"s beautiful yellow bike. And then, I look at all the pictures our webmaster has posted. What a beautiful history of our family. Life is great, life is good. Love, Dad
Dear Actnuts, I have to go look see that yellow bike just to remind me that there are such things. Kurt, you are sooo lucky. Ride safely.
Burrrr! It is cold today. But if winter comes can spring be far behind? Conor is with us today ahd he is here beside me watching A Night's Tale. Life is good!! Love to all, Dad
Hey Hunter waazzup. Actnuts is tight.
Glad you are back at home dad! Get feeling better. Go to the mirror and smile for 15 minutes at yourself. You have been a long time fighter and champion over all your illness. You are a great example of someone that can overcome!
Hey Actnuts! I am back. Still weak and unsteady on my feet. In the hospital, my doctor put a new stent in my heart and did an angioplasty in my renal artery. How mush longer can this go on? If it lasted I would be happy, but I know that is not goning to happen. I want to thank all of you for coming to the hospital and wishing me well. A good cheering section is essential to a winning team. I love you all. Thanks for taking care of your Mama. Love, Dad
Hey Amber its Erika luv yals pics!Hey Mrs.Bowman
Hi everyone, It was great to be able to help you Amber to celebrate your birthday and to visit with everyone. Dinner was nice and it is always pleasant to be out on your patio and see your pretty back yard. Hope you all are having a good week. It seems to be a busy one for Grandpa and I. I will keep you informed or you can call one of us. It probably will be two long days but I feel sure that Grandpa will do well with it all. Love and Hugs.
Dearest Amber, Happy Birthday! Grandma and I are so proud of you. You have excelled in everything you have ever done. We expect great things from you in the next fifteen years. You are a winner in a world where winners are rewarded. You have outstanding examples in your parents. If you are as successful as they are, you will achieve great things in your life. Best wishes and warm regards. Love Always, Grandma and Grandpa
Happy Birthday baby girl! I love you so much. You make me so proud. You have always been a special person in every way. Sleep well tonight for I will most likely kill you tomorrow....just kidding!
Thanks everyone for coming over last evening. Amber had a wonderful b-day and it was nice visiting.
hello everyone! amber i am so sorry for missing your party, i had a b-day party to go to but i will see you soon! love you and happy birthday!
We had a very enjoyable time tonight celebrating Amber's birthday. Good luck with your curly hair----that's too much work for me. You received a lot of nice presents; your Mom is most brave with the offer to assist with driving lessons. The rest of the gang was a blast to be with and listen to tall tales about our past. My accordian picture is not goofy Barbra:>)
Kurt, I want to thank you for being web-master to Actnuts. The pictures and the comments in the guest book are priceless. What a wonderful history book of our family. I am glad that some of the members of our family are beginning to realise how important Actnuts is to all of us. Perhaps some day, some child, yet unborn, will read the comments and see the pictures and perhaps better understand what we were and what we did. Thank you once more. I love you. Dad
Oh my sweet Amber, how wonderful to be fifteen again. It's been said that youth is wasted on the young. Today is your day but we will also celebrate your birthday on the eleventh. I love you.I have great expectations for you. You are an achiever. You are so beautiful. We have enjoyed your company for fifteen years. We have seen you grow up. We have laughed and cried at your antics. There are so many memories of you that we can and will never forget you. CARPE DIEM! Love, Grandma and Grandpa
Thank god it is FRIDAY. Amber I need a reponse to my question. What do you desire for your birthday??
I ask that you go to "people" and then to my- site and then to "snapshots" where Kurt has displayed so many great pictures of the good times in our lives. Kurt, you did a magnificent job. Love Dad
Mom/Dad: We'll be thinking of both of you as Dad enters round ? of medical treatment. Nina has Thursday off to provide support as needed and to be there for you.
We are thinking about you Grandpa. Get Better!
Dearest family, thank you so much for your good wishes. Your love is better than medicine. I am off to the hospital. (developing)
Goodmorning to all. Wow this being back to work stuff is hard a a person. Mama, Dad and Conor good to see you yesterday. Conor is such sweetie. I hope Dr Katapotis can give some good insight on your recent problems Dad. Mama call if I can help. Amber what do you want for your birthday. Please call and let me know.
Kurt, the pictures are awesome. This is the way we looked in 2004. Take more pictures and send them to Kurt. I bet no other family has a wedsite like Actnuts. There are still many pictures that need to be taken. Remember, unless a paper trail or a picture is left to record your life, what will remain except your offspring to tell who you were or what you thought. Love Dad
Goodmorning all. Kurt thanks for hooking Erik up with such a sweet car deal. He is so happy. Dad wait til you see his new 4 runner. Gunmetal grey and all the bells and whistles. THe best part is he got rid of the other one thanks to Kurt and the Legacy gang. Dad we are here for you as you weather another storm. We love you and Mama. Have a good day all. Oh almost forgot. Christy your new kitchen changes look great. I plan to start stripping our kitchen wallpaper soon. Anyone want to help?
Hi Gmitruk girls, Glad to hear of your antics. Hope to see you soon.
Hey everyone, It's Abbie and Kate from Sarasota. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. We have been busy with work ok who are we kidding we have work some but have been enjoying life alot more. I'm working with my dad as his dental hygientist and Kate is a manager at Potery Barn. She will be back in Tallahassee to finish her intern in Summer so we all will have to get together when I come visit. I hope you all are well and we think of you often. Love , Abbie and Kate
Dear Actnuts, It is good to see all of the new entries to the history of our fam,y. As the old folks used to say, "If you dont write, I can't answer." It ony takes a few minutes in our busy day to go to Actnuts and just say hey. Then again you might be surprised to see what is new. Then,having something to say is even nicer. If there is no paper trail, our descendants will never know what we did or what we thought. Kurt, I appreciate your efforts (often unappreciated) in keeping Actnuts current. Yes at times some members may wish that the format were different. But I know you aim to please and you are trying to make Actnuts user frinedly. By the way for those of you who have been absent. There are many new sections to Actnuts. Check out the people section and see if you have any pictures to add. Lots of love to one and all. Dad
Kurt I wanted to tell you what a great job you do with the website. What a webmaster you are. I will try and visit it more often. Hello to all. We sure will miss Derek as he left this AM and hopefully we will see him at least once more before he is deployed
Kurt: Lots of complaining from the troops about the set-up. Well if they don't like then start a campaign to see what they do like and then do what you want. Nina and I visited today to download pictures for Grandma---Grandma we have the shooting range pictures on CD so you can take them and our Christmas pictures to Wal-Mart to make photos of the ones you like. Happy New Year. I'll have to visit more often as lots is happening. Will have to send some photos of Nina for the "blast from the past" section.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2005. TODAY BEGINS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF OUR LIFE. Have you made your resolutions? They say the most important resolution is to loose ten pounds. Wasn't that the same one that some made last year? None of you need to loose any pounds. So, What is next? How about do our best in the new year? Mama and I will be 75 in the new year. Think of that! We will all be a year older. Time marches on. What do I wish for in 2005? I wish that Derek stays safe in Iraq and that when his tour of duty is up, he returns to his family. I wish for health for Mama and me. I wish for the health of all of you. We have been so lucky for so long and I wish that streak continues for another year. I love you all and thank you for all you have done for Mama and me. Always, Dad
