Did you know that there was a dress code for visiting prisons? There was a piece in the paper Sunday telling you what you could and could not wear. Nothing on the head rather than a hat, A certain kind of shoes, neat and pressed
clothing etc. I can just envision significant others and
mothers and fathers worrying over correct attire to wear in
prison.

Two of our appliances decided to bite the dust during the
holidays. The gas cook top has developed a short and two of the knobs disentigrated as well as the ignitors quitting
on us. Then one of the furnaces went out. Both are covered
under our home warranty but we hate messing with repair
persons. One furnace is still operating so we aren't cold.

Yesterday, we decided to forget duty and watch The Last
Picture Show again. Afterwards we were cleaning up and
Bobby called and wanted to take us to see True Grit. The guys thought the Duke was a better Rooster Cogburn but I
liked Jeff Bridges better. The l4 year old girl almost
stole the show. It was doubly interesting to me because
it took place in the Choctaw Nation which was located in
Eastern Oklahoma. Ted oversalted the giant popcorn which
made it inedible to anyone but him. Just as well though.

The Choctaw and Cherokee tribes both had slaves and I worked with a Choctaw special Ed teacher who still kept up
with the African American descendants. She was a dead
eye shootist and she took a lot of game to them. There
were a lot of wild goats in the area. She was a very colorful character and I loved making home visits with her.
It was fascinating and the area was in the mountains.
