I used to do this blog. Then lots of things went wrong in my life. Two sisters were sick and have since died. I was sick and have had one surgery but am recovering from everything that went on in my life. I've had so many people who commented that they loved this blog and missed it immensely. It really made me feel better.
At the time I did the blog, I received very few comments that were positive, but I did receive a few nasty comments from some anonymous sources. I don't know what prompted those nasty comments but they hurt. And then when you get very few postive feedback comments, a writer often feels that something is amiss and feels perhaps taking time to write a silly little old blog just isn't worth it.
My life is settling down again so I thought I might try to salvage this blog and start over. Perhaps some will like that and maybe some will again try to defeat my ego. But this time I'm stronger and the only thing I will say to those who may try .... is screw you. It's my blog and if you don't like it, don't read it.
I can't promise to post everyday, but I will try to get this up and running on an even keel as long as my health allows. Stay with me and be sure to occasionally let me know the positive things you like as well as things you may want me to use as the subject of an article or suggest post topics, etc.
NEW RECIPE:
Rollo and Pretzel Candy Recipe
Buy Lattice type Preztels, Pecan Halves and Rollo Caramel Candy. I always strive for about 25 pieces of each for a start. Place the lattice pretzel on a cookie sheet and place an unwrapped Rollo piece on top of the pretzel. Put in a 300 degree oven for about 2 minutes or until it looks like the Rollo is beginning to melt. Take the cookie sheet out of the oven and immediately place a pecan half (or a piece of walnut if otherwise preferred) on top and press down a bit. Cool on the cookie sheet and store in an airtight container. I think these taste better when eaten within a few days.

Gossip
This section is my most favorite section. If you know some gossip, put it as a comment and I will check it out and post in a future post. Any time I post something here I will post it as I heard it and can't indeed verify that it's accurate, but what the heck, that's the glory of gossip isn't it????!! It may be true or it may be just plain old Gossip.
1. Rumor has it that Petersburg IGA has been sold to County Market.
2. Rumor has it the Petersburg Plumbing has been sold to Henson Robinson.
Sickness
Best wishes to Karen Setzer (Rick) who is in the hospital.
This first posting for the rebirth of the Yougottaknowthisaboutthat blog, will hopefully warm the hearts of my friends and residents of Greenview, IL. Hopefully I will find that I can continue this blog for a long while. Let me know your comments.

Welcome back, Carla! That's what we've been missing. And even a "screw you" slipped in there! Love it. Glad to see you back here, and if anybody doesn't like it, well...screw them. :D
Thanks for re-starting your blog, Carla. Ignore the anonymous ugly comments. Can't imagine why anyone would be critical of your blog, as it isn't political, religious or sports oriented. I guess there are just some mean-spirited people who like to find fault, but don't have the courage to identify themselves.Keep up the good work, and here's hoping that the next few years bring you health, happiness and good fortune.
Ken Dirks
Welcome back, Carla! This will certainly give me a source for info about Greenview as Debra and I embark on the next chapter of our lives -- moving to Florida next week!
Welcome back! Great blog!
Welcome back Carla. Thanks for putting us back in your life. Don't worry about negative comments. They aren't important. I don't curse on linebut this is onetime I wish I could convince myself to. In case some of you aren't friends with Marty (McCoy) Ruppel. Sheis an absolute hoot. Her comments are inspiring. She still lives right outside of Greenview. look her up and say hi.
Does anybody know where Mike Downey - Class of 67 is?
This BLOG is a good idea! Glad you are back at it!
Glad you are back.
Rick Setzer
Ken Dirks just told me of your blog and on just this first day I have enjoyed it tremendously. You probably don't remember me, but from 1958-1962 I was director of Greenview H.S. & G.S. Bands. I shall truly look forward to reading your blog daily. Gary White, Osage Beach, Mo.
Mr. White.....what a joy to hear from you. I remember you so well from my days in the percussion section of the your band here in Greenview. Thank you for reading the blog. If I can make one person smile each day, I have met my goal of maintaining this blog. Happy Day to you. Carla Montgomery Clemens
Carla: I believe one of the photos this morning was of a former student of mine, Betty Dennis. I hope I got the last name correct. I recall that she played flute and was always featuring a smile from ear to ear. Please do as many of these photos as is possible and, for us who are no longer in the area, let us know something of their lives. I know that this is a big order but if anyone can fulfill such a request it is definitely YOU. Thanx, Gary White P.S. Your Blog is like a newly found treasure to Me!!!!
Mr. White: (it doesn't seem right to call a teacher anything but Mr/Mrs.....whatever HA HA HA) That indeed was Betty Faye Dennis....and what a wonderful person she was. Always laughing and even through her darkest days she smiled and laughed. She finally had enough and knew that it was best not to continue to battle the cancer. The other person I referred to at the time the three of us had illnesses was Karen Ishmael....she had female cancer and was quite bad...but has survived nearly 12 years and is doing ok the last I heard. Other of our classmates which died were Kitty Tice (summer before Freshman yr.), Pat Meehan (cancer after 8th grade), Sandy Baker (car wreck), Wayne Otte (hung himself), Butch Nance (heart attack); Bill Moore (heart attack) and Janece Brass (killed in wreck after leaving G'view schools). I don't know if you recall any of these names. I do this blog in order to keep the old mind working....I feel that if a person sits, does nothing and grows old before his/her time, life sometimes is shortened. I hope you are doing well....and thanks for reading and commenting. Carla
I knew all but Wayne Otte and Janece Brass. I, too, have cancer (prostate) Stage IV. However, I feel so well that I cannot believe I have it.....but I do. I have been told, however, that I have several years to live and, true or not, I choose to believe it. Thanks so much for all of the information about the Greenview students. I appreciate your time.
You are doing a marvelous job with this blog and I do believe that you missed your calling as a professional writer. However, it appears that you could also have been a professional chef. I cannot believe the wonderful meals that you prepare on a daily basis. I would pay a big price to sit down to one of your meals any day. You are definitely a very "special" person and I know that all of your family and friends feel so fortunate to have and to know you. Now I do to..........."Gary".
"Gary"....that seems weird calling you that....LOL You are making my head huge with all of these great comments. During my career, I was an insurance executive for years....but got my start at the company as a drafter of contract language....then went on to head up their marketing department for employee benefits programs....I had lots and lots of experience writing!!! Too much! Then came the dreadful body problems and now I sit at home on Social Security Disability. And cook and think up recipes....at one time I took some culinary classes at the local college but I felt I knew more than the instructor. You can come to dinner anytime you ever make it this way....it would be an honor!! Someday I want to write a book...maybe I better get started! Carla
Hey Carla - What a great thing you are doing. Dirks gave me this URL. BTW, it was Yvonne Huffman Horn's birthday on July 22 (we know what year, don't we). The gossip is the best......I suppose until it hits close to home!
Ted Tice
Carla - just read your piece about Shick Shack and Shambolee. In my wanderings across cyberspace I found some more information on Shick Shack. He lived in Northern IL for awhile. Now, if I could just figure out how to get it to you electronically on this blog. Not sure I am technically competent to do that. Hope to see you in G'view to discuss.
Ted.....thanks for the comments and thanks to Ken for sending you the site...he is my most avid fan I think. I like doing the blog...gives me a sense of order in my life and perhaps gives the readers a bit of info both old and new. Pass the site address to anyone you feel might be interested. For a while I had to stop the blog....my two sisters were ill and finally died...then 8 weeks ago I had hip replacement but can walk again with only a slight limp. You can always send me stuff at my email: carlaslittlemoms@yahoo.com Tell Lynn hello....and keep on readin!! Carla
Hello everyone...this is Carla. I have a section on my blog status that tells me that a lot of people return to this particular post every day.....I wonder if it is to check for additional comments on this post.....for that reason I have put a section at the bottom of my blog which will pull of the last 6 comments which have been made anywhere on my blog. So....if you are returning to this post to check for comments, it's not necessary...go to the bottom of the blog in it's current post for the day. Maybe I'm wrong and people just like to read this post over and over....whooppee...that would make me day. Thanks for reading my blog todayAugust 22, 2011 and everyday....Carla M-C
