I spent most of the day in Longview, doing errands and running around. I picked up a new piece of glass for the front door. Last summer my lovely wife tried to swat a bat (with a tennis racket) that was perched on the window and smashed out the window (yes, she got the bat).
While at the glass place I noticed a copy of The Valley Bugler there. It had a picture of mom on it and made reference to some article so, of course, I read it. It is a piece submitted by Caren Teigen about mom, and over half of the article is a story that I had written some years back about mom & dads' trip home from the Chehalis Livestock Auction. Caren had turned this in for publication (without my knowledge) and tried to take credit for it! How Fucking Lame!!!! I stopped in and talked to the editor about it and they are not happy with her plagiarism at all.
I explained to the editor that Caren has been this way"ever since that house landed on her sister".
It's kinda' funny....mom and I had a running joke that we shared back and forth about Caren. "you can always tell when Caren is lying, because her lips move". I can't even begin to remember how many times mom & I laughed about that one!

Melvin~ You are such a liar! You were not even able to write when mom and dad told that story to me. So keep your dirty filthy mouth to yourself. And keep MY name out of your blog! Tammy's the lucky one, she can divorce you and live her life free of your pickled brain. I have not spoken to you for a reason, so don't make things up. My mother knew who the liar in the family was. And it certainly wasn't ME! Good riddance! Caren
