On
Friday night I took one of the residents, where I work, to the Martina McBride
Joys of Christmas concert. It was great, she had Don Mattingly and Dean Martin
as guests, yes, and I said Dean Martin. You had to be there to believe it. If
I was you, I would definitely put her show as one of the things to see next
year. It is really worth the time and money.

Astrology for JoEllen Seil on December 7th; your flexibility will
come in very handy today, when different opportunities arrive.
Before your loved ones file a missing persons report, let them know you're
still here -- you just need some time to yourself. Now is the moment to tackle
a few weighty matters before they get even bigger.
Astrology for Bill Jones on December 8th; if you are traveling
today, you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is.
One or two needier types may willfully ignore your 'Do Not Disturb' sign and
keep pestering you for some attention. Tell them firmly that now is not the
time for their shenanigans. You have business to take care of.
Astrology for Brandon Seigert on December 9th; Good luck is
cyclical. Your luck will be changing today.
Your current situation is stellar, thanks to your efforts and those of your
lucky stars. Work is on the upswing, your pockets are full and your
relationship is blooming (or a prospect is heating up). Bask in the glow.
Your
good luck is holding out, but don't try to profit too much from it. If you're
not just enjoying the ride, but trying to game it too, you'll find weird
consequences start to pile up.
Sheer crazy luck is going to help you figure out what to do about your current
situation, so keep your eyes open for serendipity. Things will get much better
if you follow up on your impulses.
More than most signs, yours understand that all that glorious mess, chaos and
diversity are precisely what makes love and life so great. Someone else is
right on your same wavelength today. Enjoy your understanding
Grayville NEWS 9/25/06!
Norm and I made a trip to
Kentucky via Shawneetown on Saturday. The rain was terrible. If I had of known
it was going to rain like that I’d have stayed at home. On Sunday we made a
trip to Wal-Mart. Ran into Bobby Rahmoeller and a couple of other
Grayvilleites.
You all may remember last
week I made mention of that homeless guy (Max) who hangs out at Huck’s, it was
meant as a joke. Well, Karen, one of the workers there took it a little
farther. She put out a cup for donations with Homeless Max wrote on it, never
thinking anyone would take it seriously. She said they collected close to
$40.00.Max did us proud, he used to money towards getting the yellow cat that
also hangs out at Hucks neutered. So people your money was used for a good
cause and it was real nice of Max to make up the difference. I don’t care what
people say about you, Max, you’re a pretty good fellow.

I got the surprise of my life Saturday morning when I saw one of Santa’s
reindeer in downtown Grayville. I ‘m not sure which one but it was sure in a
hurry to get out of town. I was leaving the Dollar store and getting into my car
when a deer came from the direction of the bank, tried to cut thru by the
theatre and then turned and darted across North Street ,jumped across the back
of a passing truck, boy was the driver surprised, and ran down the road pass the
Navigator office. I sure hope he finds his way home in time for Christmas Eve; I
sure wouldn’t want Santa to be late because of one lost reindeer.
Betty Coe is convalescing at the New Harmony Health Care Center. On
top of all her other problems she recently sustained a fractured arm and a
fractured disc in her back. I talked to her nephew, David Burrows, on Sunday and
he said she is doing fine. I’m sure Betty would enjoy a card or two and maybe
even a visit if you happen to be going that way. Her address is Betty Coe New
Harmony Healthcare, New Harmony, Indiana.

My sympathies go out to the families of
Vertis Spencer. I got to know Vertis thru the years when Norm and I use to paint
his roof every couple of years and I always took Margaret and him lettuce and
green onions when they were ready in the garden. I really missed him this
summer, as he use to be out walking his little dog.
I also extend my sympathy to the Arnold Young
family. I only knew him by name but always heard good things of him.

Haley Joe came and spent Saturday with us while
Daddy, Sam, visited with Sam and Lisa Hosman.
I was at the library last week and Molly Jo told
me an anonymous donor had donated another $500. to the reward fund for
information on who stole the computers .It takes a really low kind of person to
do something like that. There were a lot of people, which the library was the
only access they had to a computer. I really hope they catch the thieves and
throw the book at them.

living in Indiana, Kenny Walters, has a scary way of moving
his eyebrows when he’s concentrating on a pool shot, Kenny is on the Chappy’s 1

Mike and
Billy McGarvey, Dick and Sandy Lee and children, and David McGarvey were among
many of the family of Jewel McGarvey, called home by her passing away. She will
be missed by many. My fondest memory of her was seeing her drive around in her

Angie Glover
Oathout was here over the weekend visiting family and friends.
Delores

Myself, Mr.

few of many who attended the visitation for Jewel Mc Garvey.
Tim and
Becki Alcorn have had an unexpected visitor this last week. It seems a raccoon
has invaded their area. Despite attempts to catch the crafty fellow, he is still
at large. Better find better bait, Tim. Maybe some Moose chowder would work.
Several
Moose members were seen stirring the chowder pot on Saturday. My question is,
did they only stir long enough to get their picture taken or were they really
serious about?
Former
Pastor, Jerry Ricketts, South Carolina, was the guest Pastor at the Lamplight
Church on Sunday.
Jason and
Chris Short were in the St. Louis area this weekend to go deer hunting with
former resident, Steve Rudisill. It’s a good thing the weather was mild as they
spent the weekend sleeping in a tent. Jason managed to get a seven point buck
and I’d better get some of it.
Angel Owen,
daughter of Bobby Owen and Anna Dazzio spent Friday night with “Aunt” Frankie
Gill and Vanessa Garman.She sure is a little doll.
Haley Joe

Campbell is the bass player and it is a really good band.
Danny and
Angie Kuykendall spent some time this weekend down south, doing some horse
riding and just getting away.

On Thursday, I and Christina Gaultney took a trip to
Centralia to pick up a prospective new resident for the home I work at.
Things have been out of sorts with my grandsons
this last week. J.J. had a sinus infection and decided he would come to G’ma’s
house to convalesce, then his brother Joey had a reaction to some medicine they
gave him for migraines and had to go the emergency room. Shana said the two boys
have been in one room at the E.R. so much this last year in Mt.Carmel Hospital
that they ought to name it the Luecke Room. Haley Joe was here again on Saturday
morning; she was feeling a lot better this week. I was saddened to hear of the
passing of Berry Bertram. He and Joyce were neighbors of my Grandmother and
myself for a lot of years. I know he will be sorely missed by his family. What I
want to know is why there was only one Grayville firefighter shown meeting the
President. Did the others not count or what?
Hope everyone had a good weekend, I’m sure the rain on Sunday was welcome. If

Weekly Forecast for September 26, 2005
Keep your head down as the week begins. You'll face of flurry of distractions
and demands on Monday, and you'll need some help from your friends to see you
through. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, others will look to you to take the
lead, so don't be bashful about making plans and pointing the way. (And don't
sweat the details.) On Friday and Saturday, get out and get gregarious.
Socializing will leave you feeling energized -- and you just might be able to
help others out with your sensitive, diplomatic touch. This Sunday, all eyes are
on you. Flirt up a storm.
Daily Extended Forecast for September 29, 2005 for Sharon Broster Walden
Forget what others think. It's not easy, but it's necessary. Be proud of whom
you are and what you've accomplished, and don't measure yourself by any
standards that don't fit. The main question is, are you happy? Do you get a
sense of satisfaction out of your life? Then that's what really matters. If you
can answer in the affirmative to both those questions, you're way ahead of the
game and better off than most.
Daily Extended Forecast for September 30, 2005 for Gary Bisch
Go your own way. There comes a time when you have to decide what it is you
believe and separate that from what you think you should believe or what others
tell you to think. Having a set of personal morals and standards is an
invaluable tool for this life, so work on developing yours. It may not be
terribly easy at first -- after all, going along with the crowd can be ever so
much more comfortable -- but it'll be so worth it in the long run.

Indiana.
Dallas and Ruth Ann White left on Tuesday of last week

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. C.K. Rahmoeller on
their wedding Saturday at the Methodist church, with a reception following at
the banquet hall at the American legion.
Haley Joe was visiting again on Saturday, but she
wasn’t feeling to well, got a cold.
A couple of months ago I lost my Siamese cat that I had
had for about eight years, but my friends have been looking for another one. On
Friday, my best friend, Richard Schmittler, located one for me. Sugar Plum was
delivered to my house by Julie duke Cowling. The cat is almost eight years old
and a beautiful cat but she weighs 16 ½ pounds. Her former owner said she had
never seen food she, Sugar Plum, didn’t like. I believe it. She is finally
settling in and getting use to my other cats. Norm says, she definitely will be
going on a diet.
A few Grayville residents spent the weekend down at the
Garden of the Gods horseback riding. Angie and Danny Kuykendall, Frankie Gill
and Dustin Grimm are just the few I know about. It was really a beautiful
weekend to go riding.
Danny Allen was called back early from New Orleans due
to the illness of his wife Melba, My source said she is on the road to recovery
now.
The rest of the Grayville bunch who went got back
Saturday morning just in time to go on a fire run. What a homecoming! To all of
them, a job well done.

The Sun moves into Libra on the 22nd.the key words for
a Libra is sometimes” what’s in it for me”? Do you know any Libras like that?
It's all about compromise as the week begins, so be
careful and cautious in your one-on-one relationships on Monday. Whatever you
bring to the table (positive or negative) will be multiplied and returned. On
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning, your natural diplomacy will shine.
Others will look to you to give advice and settle disputes -- and don't be
surprised if they're impressed (and even attracted to you) in the process. From
Thursday afternoon through Saturday, expect to be filled with earnest and
expansive intellectual energy -- you'll be eager to talk about new things with
new people. This Sunday, stick to the program and stay patient.
Daily Overview for September 21, 2005

Quickie:
A group of admirers ply you with food and drink -- be careful not to
overindulge.
Overview:
Dignity and sanity are high on your must-have list, especially in light of all
the recent compromises and sacrifices you've made. Go ahead and declare your
independence from the self-absorbed and the selfish.
Daily Overview for September 25, 2005
for Elizabeth House - Provided by Astrology.com
Quickie:
Feel your emotions -- don't hold back. Whether good or bad, they shape who you
are.
Overview:
Someone's developing drama may throw your personal rhythm off beat, which will
require more patience on your part. Don't let this change throw your confidence
off-guard, too -- you're still capable of making decisions on your own.

As most of you know some of our
firefighters have joined a group of people to aid the victims of Hurricane
Katrina, let us all remember, Danny, Carmen, Melissa, Jack and Randy in our
thoughts and prayers.

been a patient since Tuesday.
Dallas
White and Norman Bisch were in New Haven on Saturday on business with a
veteran’s representative.
Mike
McGarvey has extended his stay for a few more days. I heard a rumor that he may
be moving back here for good. I am sure his family will be glad to have him
closer to home.

Monthly Forecast
Your
hard work and creativity are paying off as the week begins! Follow-through is
its own reward of course, but on Monday and Tuesday you'll get more tangible
results from your efforts. (And don't be surprised if others find that ambitious
energy of yours attractive.) On Wednesday and Thursday, consider some
experimentation to complement your already extraordinary organizational skills
-- you might just might find an even better way of doing things. On Friday and
Saturday, don't count on getting things done (or on getting people to move as
quickly as you might like). Be flexible and take this as an opportunity to take
it easy. On Sunday, search for your true sense of purpose -- and expect to find
it.
Astrology for
Gertrude Irvine Mason on September 14th
Quickie:
Relationship conflicts are messy. You aren't the only one who's right -- or
wrong.
Overview:
Politely decline the free tickets to someone else's drama, no matter how they
try and entice you to participate. It's never any use to try and stamp your
opinions on someone else or their relationship, so resolve to let sleeping dogs
lie.
Astrology for Ida Van Fleet
on September 16th
Quickie:
Find a way to reorganize your stuff -- you'll immediately see what's missing.
Overview:
It's important to you to control the tasks that you take on, but being a touch
more flexible will help you out a lot more now. Learn to bend and follow the
surprises the universe throws in your path.
Everyone have a great week
and tell me your news.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, I know
I did. I didn’t have time to get a lot of news, so please give me a call or
e-mail me with all your visitors and I’ll get it in next week.
Tim and Sue Dutko had an all weekend pajama party, that is to say they kept the
weekend very casual for their guests from the Chicago suburbs. They were the
Dutko’s son, Chris Norlin, Tim’s brother Tom and wife, Beth, their daughter,
Jennifer, and son, Tom and Tom’s friend, Julie.
My granddaughter, Haley Joe and I made a trip up town on Saturday morning. She
had her eyes on everything. Sure wore me out. She got tired of the stroller and
she can sure move them little legs. And of course J.J. spent the weekend with
Norm and me.
My other grandson, Joey came down on Saturday night to go out to supper with me,
but I ended up having to work at Rick’s Place so we’ll have to make it another
night. It seems he saw this commercial on TV about a grandma setting the table
for herself and a grandson, but the grandson was too busy getting high on drugs
to spend time with her. It really affected Joey deeply, and he told his mom he
wanted to spend time with me. He is really a good kid not in to a lot of things
some of today’s teenagers are. He does have a girlfriend, tho and she takes up a
lot of his time.
Mona Willitt Riley was here spending time with friends and family, Jay and
Shelia Willitt.
Just a few of the people I saw over the weekend were Tom Horste, Ronnie and
Donnie Lingafelter and their younger brother, Bobby Taylor, Doug Duvall and his
family, Eddie Paris, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Belew, David McGarvey and his daughter,
Mike and Billy McGarvey, Tony and Tammi Farrell.
Tony Treadway, Oswego, Illinois, spent the weekend with his father, Conrad.
Shawn and Kenny Hawkins, Chicago surburbs, were here spending time with their
parents, Keith and Judy Hawkins.
Tim and Becki Alcorn had their annual Labor day Party, I’m sure it was a huge
success. Sorry I missed it.
Please get your visitors or if you were gone for the weekend let me know.

Astrology for Mary Helen Rahmoeller on September 7th;
Quickie:
Making a major purchase with someone else could cause some waves. Take it slow.
Overview:
If someone insists on being snippy, soldier on and do what you know needs to be
done in spite of their unhelpful attitude. If their assistance is absolutely
required, let them know that they're just hindering things with their snarkiness
Astrology for Barbara Munsey on September 11th;
Quickie:
Family obligations are opportunities to pay back the love you've been given.
Overview:
Who's laughing now? Well, you are actually! While some other signs are deep in
the doldrums, you're awash in feelings of goodwill. Look for some like-minded
types to hang with -- cheering someone up right now might take too much

Melissa swain e-mailed this account of her family’s trip to St.
Augustine, Florida.
Jack, I, Hannah and Taylor (oldest
Grandchild) ...Went to St.
Augustine, Fl..... for a first stop, of course had to spend some time on George
St. (Checking out the shops!!) Went looking all around town. When it got
almost dark took the Ghost Tour, "A Ghostly Encounter" Featured on the Travel
Channel and TNT's "Liar's and Legends" It was really something we all enjoyed,
It wasn't like some spook house of people trying to scare you, it was a walking
Tour around town, and it was based on authentic facts and happenings in St.
Augustine, (you got to see the actual places things happened.) When you
Consider St Augustine's been around since the Spanish and survived the Pirate
Days, it has some pretty interesting history!! We spent a few days on
Daytona
Beach, then went across the state to visit Officer Doug Phillips has wife Grace.
And the kids, they are all doing very well, pretty adjusted to
living in Fla.
now, but they still miss the feeling of closeness and belonging the people of
Grayville give you.
The Midranger band will be playing at Rick’s Place on Labor Day weekend.
This is a great band, try to stop and listen to them
My granddaughter Haley Joe made her first trip to the library on Saturday, I
hope it won’t be her last. She really looked the place over, from the toys
furnished for toddlers to the books. She has added new words to her growing
vocabulary. She now says thank you. Mommy and Daddy are teaching her right.
J.J. was here again this weekend. He can hardly wait till next weekend. Hope he
saves some money for Grayville Days.
Mark and Donna Campbell had their grand opening at their newly purchase business
on Saturday. I was down for a while and it was packed. They gave away drink
cozies, t-shirts and other various prizes. They also put on a delicious meal for
their customers wish them both much luck in this new endeavor. Oh; by the way
the business is called Chappy’s.
Mr. and Mrs. Billy Joe James of Texas has been here this last week visiting
family and friends. They returned home on Sunday
I heard that the Legion is going to start having suppers again on Saturday
night. I guess the old Saturday night Supper Club can resume their meeting
there. I know it won’t be the same as over the last 2 or 3 years they have lost
part of their group, Ralph Alcorn, Herschel Groff, and ”Doc”Wilson. I know they
are greatly missed. I really enjoyed listening to them talk about the “good ole
days”.
I get four days off of work next weekend so I will really get to enjoy Grayville
Days. Can’t wait to get some grab bags from Lovins Pharmacy. They only cost a
dollar and you can get some really good stuff in there.
Don’t forget to call or e-mail me with all your company visiting next weekend or
anything you think might be suitable for our news.

Weekly astrology for
August29th-September3rd
As the week begins, satisfy your urge to socialize by finding a likeminded group
to hang out with (especially one with a strong female influence). On both Monday
and Tuesday, you'll feel energized and organized by companionship and teamwork.
On Wednesday and Thursday (and the early part of Friday, too), try to stay
flexible. Overbearing people could threaten to overwhelm you with conflicting
plans and unreasonable demands, and the best thing you can do is take a patient,
helpful attitude. On Friday afternoon and evening and on into the weekend, you
might feel like putting on a cape and striking an inspiring pose. Your
superpowers -- chiefly, the ability to identify what needs to be done and get to
it -- are clearly evident for everyone to see.
Astrology for Angie Kuykendall on September 2,
There's a lot going on, but you're keeping your cool and everyone's
impressed!
You're determined to do something to help people, especially
when it comes to the environment. Whether you're planning ways to raise
awareness, donating money or buying a hybrid car, you're sure to set an example
for others
Astrology for Julie McFarland on September6th;
Deep discussions about values cause
you to re-think things. Expect indecision.
They may not be what you expected, but your companion du jour opens the
possibilities for what you thought of as enjoyable experiences. Who knew mowing
the lawn and playing in the sprinkler could be such fun?
Everyone have a safe and enjoyable
Labor Day weekend and get out and partake of all Grayville has to offer for our
Grayville Days celebration.

Alberta Smith and I must be connected somehow, I
was thinking about calling her Saturday morning and she called me. If you’ve
been wondering why you haven’t seen her out and about lately, she has been in
the hospital the last three weeks having had major surgery. Alberta said she is
feeling better now and I hope she will soon be out and among friends doing the
good work again.
