<CactusEd> on
the floor playing with toys

Suddenly she looks right at me sort of startled
<CactusEd> and
asked with that pure look of wonder on her face
<CactusEd>
"Daddy, did you smell that noise?"
<trishj>
LOL!!!!!!! Awwww!

<CactusEd> Yes

*** trishj is now

<RachH> Ed:
*nod* Drop us mail when it's done--we'd like to see that.
<CactusEd> Or
I could send it as a word attachment to any who want it
<RachH> Ed: If
it's that big, some providers might balk at accepting it.
<CactusEd> It
is written without edits or scratchouts. One time through
<CactusEd>
Chris says that it is interesting
* RachH looks
forward to seeing it.
<CactusEd> I
can't wait to read this whole thing
<CactusEd> The
best thing was said to me by a friend who has seen Annie and
I visit over ten years
<CactusEd> He
said that when he remembers seeing us we were always smiling
<CactusEd> And
he is right
<CactusEd> We
had fun together
<RachH> Ed:

<trishj> Why
don't you start off with another fun story about Annie, Ed?
The last one was adorable.
<TheCacti>
Annie starred in two plays at the Mountain Community Theater
in her home town of Ben Lomond, Cal.
<TheCacti> She
was "Peter Pan"--most appropriate, don't you think?
<TheCacti> The
theater director said she was "the glue that held it all
together." A lot like her Dad.
<TheCacti>
(Guess who said THAT!)
<RachH> Heh.
*** margie
has joined #annie
<TheCacti> She
also starred in "Once Upon a Mattress."
<TheCacti>
Tonight, everyone is meeting at the theater to watch videos
of Annie--in performance, up close and personal, whatever.
<TheCacti>
They don't think they'll have enough seats.
<treetop>
ahhhh, neat.
<margie> :)
* RachH nods
approvingly.
<TheCacti>
Here's a good example of Annie's spirit.
<trishj>
Awwwww!
<shadowcat>
what a neat idea
<TheCacti>
Once when she was ten, she visited us, and Ed was working in
Houston, reroofing the AstroHall.
*** trishj sets

<TheCacti>
Annie spent a couple of weeks with him, sharing an apartment
with one of his workers and his wife.
<TheCacti> One
day everyone was going to Water World, and Brenda (the
worker's wife) didn't have a swimsuit. So first they stopped
at K-Mart.
<TheCacti>
Brenda, not being all that decisive, wandered aimlessly
around the swimsuit department, with Annie.
<TheCacti>
After a few minutes of that, Annie started pulling swimsuits
off the rack and said, "Here, Brenda, try these
on!"
<TheCacti> She
was a take-charge kinda kid.
<treetop> :))
<TheCacti>
Even at ten years old.
<trishj> Awwww
LOL!

Annie did all the decorations, and we got a lot of good video

<TheCacti> Hi
Bill. Nice to see you.
<trishj> Awww,
of course.
<BillGawne>
Hey Ed, Chris...
<TheCacti> Not
to mention, it was a great party!
<BillGawne>
Are both of you there?
<TheCacti>
Yes, we're both of us.
<BillGawne>
*nod* My condolences on your loss. I have a daughter of a
similar age, you know.
<TheCacti> Let
us tell you about the story Annie has written since she died.
Got your interest?
<trishj> Oh,
yes!
<TheCacti>
Thanks Bill.
<Fawnn>
absolutely
* BillGawne listens
* shadowcat listens
<TheCacti>
Annie came to Gloria, her mother, a few days after she died
and said she had a story she wanted her mother to write down
for her.
<TheCacti>
Gloria couldn't find any paper, but Annie told her where it
was.
<TheCacti>
There were forty-seven sheets of paper.
<TheCacti>
When Gloria had finished writing, she had used exactly
forty-seven sheets.
<treetop> wow.
<TheCacti> She
faxed it to us for transcription.
<TheCacti>
There was not one edit--no cross-outs, no
corrections, no
rewrites.
* RachH shivers.
<TheCacti>
Just straight through.
<Fawnn> wow
<TheCacti>
It's very cohesive, not to mention interesting.
<Ysidro> wow
<TheCacti> The
basis of the story, without blowing it, is "The Wizard
of Oz."
<TheCacti>
Annie is, of course, Dorothy.
<BillGawne>
Ed: What's it about? If you don't mind...
<BillGawne>
Oh.

<treetop>
watch for the metaphors cactis', the other side of the veil
writes in many layers :)
<TheCacti>
Yes, I'm beginning to believe that!
<TheCacti> No
matter how you believe, it appears Annie has reached out to
help her mother through this.
<trishj> And
everyone who loved her, Ed/Chris. Look at how folks pulled
together in their grief and showed such heart and caring.

who want a copy, it's currently in Word 7.0, but I can easily

Nothing specific. Annie has been cremated, and the ashes will

<Fawnn> Ed,
Chris: FYI ... I just emailed Ed's favorite picture of Annie
to Elrkan; he's going to prepare a special page for it and

shadow: just added the link to your page as "Annie"
but as luck would have it, I can't do the ftp upload at the
moment. Flaky isp (Decided to "do it now" and got
snafu'd; it'll be up asap)
<friday1> bye
<shadowcat>
Fawnn: understood
<shadowcat>
mine went flakey when I tried to put my page up last night
<Fawnn> Ed:
let us know when your pages are ready and we'll add those
links as well (or I can send you the .htm file if you'd
rather simply put her page on your
site; your wishes)
<TheCacti> I
am better at being at being funny than I am at expressing my
gratitude - but I want you all to know how much this has
meant to us
<TheCacti> You
are each and all the best
<trishj> We
are and will continue to be Ed and Chris.
<trishj>
Anytime you need in any form you need.
<Fawnn> I need
to take off now {{{{{{TheCacti}}}}}}}}
<trishj> (I
tell a mean joke, you know)
<TheCacti> I
sure don't know how to say more without being mushy - I hope
you all know what I mean
<TheCacti> Ok
<trishj>
Gotcha. :)
<TheCacti> A
Joke
<trishj> Are
you telling one, or demanding one?
<TheCacti> no
<TheCacti>
just wiping my eyes
<Zarathust>
thank you for allowing me to be here with you, and thank you
for sharing your beautiful stories and memories with me
<TheCacti>
Thank You
<trishj>
Awww...
* shadowcat and
Alvin offer a round of hugs
<Zarathust>
You have my deepest sympathies, I too have a hard time
expressing how I feel, without getting mushy
<ElrikanIV>
Ed/Chris, I sent you a couple of emails, the base page should
be up within an hour or two, at

gladly
