Today’s blog entry is a direct cut and paste email from my Dad. He’s on a working trip in Arkansas. Here’s what he had to say (Email subject line was “Roots”).

Heather, I’ve driven around Northern Arkansas about 300 miles today and finally am back in my Little Rock hotel.

 

But, did you know that the Bugh family (Great Grandparent’s Bugh) moved to Texas from somewhere just north of Beebe Arkansas? Well, I found the town today. Took a picture of it as proof.

 

Be home late tomorrow night … see you soon.

 

Love ya … Dad

Bugh is my maiden name, should you be curious.
And since we rather carelessly toss out the word “Goober” pretty regularly, this shot he sent CRACKED ME UP.

And in case you don’t think I checked already, there IS a Goobertown, AR. I might be a goober, but I’m not a gullible goober.

   Aileen - We’re gonna all forgive you for that…um…thing you did up there.

   We know you are high on the aroma of baby head and the squeezable baby fat that you’re nursing.

   Any other time I’d be finding someone to admit you somewhere “helpful.”

    I can’t take credit for that. It’s from the evil Spongebob movie! I just cut and pasted! Honest!! I’m not a goofy goober… I SWEAR! I’m normal! I’m ONE OF YOU! I. AM. NOT. AN. ANIMAL!

    Very very funny! My son gets a kick out of how my parents and friends “talk” everytime we come home to Texas. His favorite one is from my dad (it might offend some so stop reading here.) He saids “you might wanna think ’bout stoppin’ eatin’ all those peaches…it’ll make you sh*t like a goose”. Cracks the 13-year-old kid up everytime. Nowadays, I just shrug my shoulders and say, “well, that’s papa for ya, whaddya ’spect from a hick?”
