In Memory of John Logan Clark

Thank you to all who came to the visitation and service, the flowers, the food and most of all the prayers. To my gang at Kernodle's....thank you so much for you support and all you did for me during this time...BILL GOODWIN.....YOU GET A HIGH FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously...you made him look wonderful. Papaw has not looked that good in a long time.

"Santa" - John Logan Clark and Kaye Brawner in December 1973

Most of you all know that Papaw Clark has been sick for a few weeks now. He went to the hospital Sunday, December 23 because of his high fever and pneumonia. All of his children were there at one point, Susan NEVER left his side. Lisa, Randall and I had a few moments with him alone and I believe he knew we were there and he was calm for a little while. Anyone who ever met John Logan knows that there was always a great big smile and a FIRM handshake. He never met a stranger and until the later years always remembered you.

The services were at Kernodle's, and it was really nice. Bro. Ray Dean did an excellent job.

Typing this it is very hard not to cry, as a matter of fact, I probably will cry. I won't know what to do with myself in the afternoons now, there is no one at the nursing home waiting for me, there will be no more funny stories about the "goings on" in his garden, no one to sing Captain Kerri, Kimo Neery (I so do not know how to spell any of that...but those who knew him, knows that song). The most important thing that I will miss will be this...."Well, theres that ol' Katie Bug and my girls, come give papaw a hug." (He never treated Mary Margaret and Taylor any different) It was hard losing Mamaw Brawner...I grew up not getting to see her or, I was closer to her the last six or seven years she was alive...Losing Papaw Clark seems to be much harder because Papaw Clark was always there, so many more memories...one pant leg stuck in the boot and dirt all over him, and a bucket full of fresh vegetables...he never forgot to bring me something from his garden. I miss our "Fried Green Tomatoe" lunches in the summer, he and Tommye would call when a fresh batch was ready, I miss seeing him fly into the funeral home parking lot (most of us wondering if he would stop before he got out), I could go on for days.

We all remember the singing..."I'll Fly Away" and "Revive Us Again"...at the top of his lungs. Tim and I went to Beck Spur Baptist with him and Tommye a few times, after he had stopped leading the singing...but he was still just as loud and happy as ever!

Everyone who knew him...at one point in your life... you were backed into a corner with John Logan...I learned this weekend that he even burned someone's nose with his cigar...he got so close. I heard many funny stories that I had never heard before and they were all bitter sweet.

I introduced him once to my bosses at Kernodle's as My Grandfather John Logan Clark, he corrected really quickly...I'm not her grandfather, I AM HER PAPAW! She better remember that.

Papaw....I will never forget....Ol' Katie Bug

This is the card that Papaw used to campaigned for St.Francis County Judge...check out that word submissive....hummmmm

Merry Christmas To All

Busy Time of Year!

John Logan Clark after his hair cut . He really thought he was looking good after that cut!

Sugar from a sweet old man.

This has been the busiest November at the Funeral Home. I have not had time to take care of important stuff like this blog!!!!! Thanksgiving was quiet this year, we went to the Butler's and I bought a new washer!!! Whoop Whoop!

I have some pictures of John Logan (Papaw). He is really funny sometimes. I cut his hair last week and the threatened to not pay me if I messed up his hair...and this week Mr. Crocket (another resident at WynneWood) proposed marriage to me, we haven't set a date yet.

Andy will be on "EXTREME HOME MAKE OVER"!!!!

This would be my brother Andy. He grew up pretty nice don't you think?

Everyone always wants to know what my brothers are doing now......I just received this from Amanda, Andy's wife. I had no idea that he was doing this. Pretty Cool!

Hey just wanted everyone to see the Extreme Home Makeover house that Andy built.
He called every good framing crew he knew and got about 80 guys out there to help that included our guys. We first went out Monday around noon and started putting together the roof trusses so that it wouldn't take as long when we got started. Then we got there at 5 o'clock am Tuesday morning and should have been setting steel but the concrete guys hadn't finished there part so our guys had to pull forms off and help them before we could get started. As you can see in the pics they where still pouring rock and concrete. Then finally at 9:30 am we started rolling floor joist and laying floor sheeting. and then come the walls it only took us 2hours to get the floor and walls up then we where ready for the trusses. At that point we had brought the schedule from 4 hours behind to 1 hour ahead the all the other framework crews started leaving us and it was just our crew there till the end which wasn't until 5 o'clock the next morning it was crazy but our guys never gave up even though they where cold and tried we finally made it to the end. We did windows and had to do things inside the house for inspection and punch. It was an experience we will never forget.

Amanda and Andy

Philip Billings and Taylor Butler make the paper!

Philip is the child with the yellow star above his head.
Philip and Taylor made Friday's edition of the Wynne Progress. The article with Philips picture says that the students made the pinwheels with "some" help from the parents. I think that you should all know the real story....
Philip calls his mother from his teachers cell phone one day before lunch and says to her " Can you come to my class and make tuna melts." Dianne thinks to herself "What?" so she asks Philip to repeat the question and again..." Can you come to my school and make tuna melts?" so she says sure. Dianne gets to the classroom and Mrs. Grafton says " Oh, you'll be in Mrs. Swaites room making pinwheels"...Dianne says, "Wait, I thought that I was making tuna melts" Philip says " Thats not what I said, I said windmills" (which was still wrong). I forget how many pinwheels Dianne made, the point is I think she made a huge precentage of the pinwheels/tunamelts/windmills that day. Ha. Ha.

Taylor is the one with the pink butterfly above her head.

Taylor's group picture with the Lady Jackets was also in the Friday edition of the Wynne Progress. I think that Coach Stepp and the Lady did a wonderful job with all the girls.

Mary Margaret's parent visitation went way better than expected last night. I thought that I would at the school all night because of the number of classes they have...but surprisingly I was there at the most 1 hr and 30min. Good reports all the way around....except for the "talking too much" issue. I DIDN'T KNOW MARY MARGARET TALKED TOO MUCH. They must have the wrong child.

The End of Volleyball Camp

Taylor is on the far left end with the light blue pants and stripe.

The Lady Jackets finished up the Volleyball camp last night during Senior Night. Taylor was sad to see it come. She is totally hooked on Volleyball. For participating in the camp, the campers received a certificate and a autographed volleyball from the Lady Jackets.

Alisa Brawner

Amanda, my sister-in-law, married to my brother Andy, sent me these photos of their little girl Alisa. Today was crazy hair day at her school and I think that they came up with the perfect hair style. Even with the crazy hair, isn't she just pretty darn cute? They live in Kansas City, Missouri.

Volley Ball and More Kellie Pickler

Taylor is to the far right (black shirt) next to the girl in the white knee high socks.

Kellie Pickler and her red high heel!

Taylor went to the Volleyball Camp again this week and they learned some cool techniques. The one that Taylor had the most trouble with was catching the ball with her knees. Several of the balls hit her in the chest, she finally figured out to MOVE back. So far she still likes it.

Both of the girls have signed up for the UPWARDS Cheerleading program at Wynne Baptist. We have been visiting there and the girls seem to like it. Philip will be in the Basketball part of the UPWARDS program, he looked excited on sign up night.

If you all want to see more pictures of us at the concert, you can visit the Radio Station webpage and click on the Kellie Pickler Concert, there are a few on there that I don't have copies of. http://www.kssn.com/

Kellie Pickler in Concert , Arkansas State Fair

Taylor Butler, Kellie Pickler, and Mary Margaret Butler

October 13, 2007

Arkansas State Fair, Little Rock, Arkansas

TAYLOR, MARY MARGARET, KAYE & NICOLE(my sister-in-law)........WON BACKSTAGE PASSES TO MEET KELLIE PICKLER AND FRONT ROW CENTERSTAGE TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicole called Friday and asked if we wanted to come over Saturday and go to the Arkansas State Fair and see Kellie Pickler in concert, so I said sure...we would never be able to get tickets at the FedEx Forum for $7 bucks so we went. On our way to Little Rock to Nicoles, I heard on KSSN 96 FM that if you wore KSSN somewhere on your clothing you could possibly win backstage passes. Nicole took us to Wal-mart and we bought some clearenced tanks and decorated them up. We went to the KSSN booth and begged for the backstage passes, but the man said no...someone has to spot you in the crowd. He told us to come back in a few minutes and he would have something special for us. ( I secretly thought that he was going to give us the passes). We walked off and signed up for another contest and came back to the KSSN booth and he handed us FRONT ROW CENTER STAGE TICKETS! I thought this is fine! The girls will get to see up front! I was happy. We did walk around and try to get spotted for the backstage and no one ever came up to us.

We sit down to eat close to the stage and one of the raido personalities came over and sat down , chatting about what he was going to get to eat....then he said that there had been a change of plans, that we should meet at stage right instead of stage left. Nicole told him that we had only won the front row tickets not the passes....then he said.....Oh, man that sucks, now I have to tell you that YOU ARE GOING BACKSTAGE TO SEE KELLIE PICKLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our crazy shirts worked after all! SHE WAS AWESOME!!!!!! Taylor and Mary Margaret were dumbstruck! They didn't know what to think! I don't think I need to tell you all how much the girls loved meeting Kellie and seeing the concert! She signed all of our shirts and said to the girls "Awe how cute, home made shirts!" Taylor has been humming Pickler songs since we left the concert! She loves "I Wonder" and Mary Margaret love "Red High Heels". This will be something they never forget!

Future Lady Yellow Jackets Volleyball Star? Just Maybe

Above: Taylor Butler, Future Lady Jacket and Toby the cat
Below: Taylor Butler, showing off some new volleyball moves!

The Lady Yellow Jackets Volleyball team is hosting a Volleyball Camp the month of October for 3rd thru the 5th grade. Taylor begged to go, so we did. She did GREAT! They started out by warming up, running, "high stepping" and then stretching. They learned how to hit the ball with their arms and not the hands, etc. At the end of the practice they played a game and Taylor smacked that ball right over the net and assisted in two set ups! Pretty darn good for the first time. She loved it so much that we left practice and went straight to Wal-Mart where she spent 2 weeks allowance and 2 of my dollars on a volleyball! I hope we found her a sport!

Mary Margaret Lost the Race

First Picture is Mary Margaret with the "Delta Swarm" and Taylor with the "Go Jackets"

I know that I have fallen down on my posting, its been several weeks. Mary Margaret did not win a spot in Student Council. Surpisingly, she took it very well. She's all excited about the race next year and is already planning what to hand out to the students to win their vote!

The pictures are of homecoming week. Taylor (Intermediate School) had a "High School Musical" day and a Read-a-thon to celebrate homecoming. She dressed up as "Charpe" on High School Musical.

In the Jr. High, there was mix-match day, twinkie day, and of course BLUE AND GOLD day. Mary Margaret started feeling bad on Friday and her english teacher called me from her cell to let me know....(I really appreciated that!) We took a quick trip to Dr. Jacobs and then on to the Homecoming Game. Mary Margaret felt bad but still enjoyed the hoop-la of homecoming. Dianna and her girls met up with us there as usual and an old friend from High School, Kerri Nieswander sat with us too.

Let me say this about Jr. High and High School Fashion....DO THE PARENTS REALLY LET THIER KIDS OUT OF THE HOUSE WITH THOSE CLOTHES? Someone said this about a child with almost NO clothes on at the game "She must have had that skirt in her wallet when she left the house, her moma doesn't know about that skirt!" The skirt was sooooo tiny! Mary Margaret said the girl was in 7th grade. Good Grief!

Best Speaker in the 6th Grade! (At least that's my opnion)

Mary Margaret gives her speech....the other picture is of most of the 6th grade. I could not get them all in the picture.















Mary Margaret gave her speech today to the entire (197 students) 6th grade, the meeting was in the Jr. High Cafeteria. I THINK SHE WAS AMAZING! She did a great great job. She seemed a little nervous. There are 46 6th graders running for Student Council. The speeches were done in alphabetical order, Mary Margaret was close to the front, I was able to go listen to her, jury duty was canceled today. She wrote her speech all by herself, turned it in to the teacher and was given the OK. There were a few speeches that sounded like the parent wrote it for them. I just hope that she can keep her grades up to the B average that she has to maintain to be in the Student Council. She helped me with posters, 4 small ones and two big ones. I'm proud Mary Margaret decided to run. If she wants to be involved in School Activities, I'm all for it!

Sad news: M & M's boyfriend broke up with her, for someone prettier than her. HAS HE LOST HIS MIND?

6th Grade Student Council

Mary Margaret has decided to run for 6th Grade Student Council. I said go for it!!!! She'll have to give a speech to the entire 6th grade. We made posters last night. She is going to find out when the "Election Day" is.

I HAVE JURY DUTY STARTING TUESDAY! Hopefully I'll get out of it. I have worked for most of these wonderful attorney's in this town.

John's Party

Angela and Garrie gave John and Cody (Amanda's Friend) a going away party. Cody left Sunday morning for California. John will leave October 1, he doesn't know where yet. Everyone visited and had a great time. Garrie cooked hamburgers and hotdogs and all the trimmings. Took a lot of pictures. The girls and I left when the mosquitos got bad.

John Bratton Makes the Newspaper

September 12, 2007

Johnathon has made the paper! He leaves for Iraq sometime in January after the training that is required. His unit is the 875th. Angela and Garrie are giving him a party this Saturday. Angela was getting things ready for this weekend and has sprained her foot and/or possibly broken it. John will leave for Little Rock for the first round of training this month. He sure has come a long way from that little boy catching salamanders, and wrecking 3 wheelers! We love you John.

Mrs. Butler told me a story about John and his girlfriend Katherine. She told me that something very special happened while he and Katherine were on a date in Jonesboro this weekend. I automatically thought that (the way Mrs. Butler was talking) John proposed... Nicole thought the same thing. If you know Mrs. Butler, you all know that she started the story off this way...."Something special happened with John and Katherine while they were eating in Jonesboro. But I better not say anything..." So now you know why I thought what I did....

Anyway...When John (he was dressed in uniform) and Katherine got ready to leave the restaurant and pay the bill the waitress came over and told John that an anonymous person paid for their meal. John and Katherine then go to the movies and get to the ticket box and find that their way had been paid. Support for our troops come in many different ways. I thought that was very, very nice. ...John is leaving for real, no jokes...

Did any of you see Sally Fields on the Emmys the other night? Her statement was this..."If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn't be any blank wars."

Wonderful Math, How I love It!

I love math. I eat and breath math. NOT!

I do not like math and I don't think that Mary Margaret likes it either. I have found a website that I would have loved to have as a kid (the internet did not exsist then). www.helpwithfractions.com This site explains Greatest Common Factors, Least Common Factors, How to get the GCF and LCF and FRACTIONS! I REALLY like this site. If anyone is having the fun that I am a having...visit this site! I finally had time to get my hair cut and once again JOY FORRESTER at STUDIO 251 did a fantastic job! Taylor, sweet little Taylor, bust me out when I least expect it. The last time that Joy colored my hair, I loved it, but as it faded, it began to look orange...so not having the $$to let Joy fix it, I fixed it myself with dark brown...Taylor told Joy yesterday it was so funny...she is so blunt. "Hey Joy," she says "you remember when you colored Kaye Kaye's hair orange...well, she fixed it and we like the brown better than the orange." Gotta love kids!

They are both getting their hair cut Friday...I think, just for fun, I should get their eyebrows done...ha ha. I wouldn't do that.............

WELCOME TO MY LIFE!

Baby Blues from Jonesboro Sun,
Wednesday, September 12, 2007

I believe that this cartoon says it all! This is my life every day. I liked Jr. High as a kid, as an adult....I'VE ALREADY BEEN TO SCHOOL AND DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK...but I am. For those out there reading this....I know you feel the same way!!! We should start a support group..."Adults Against I DUNNO!" (AAID) I don't like math, but I'm learning it again....against my will! When the teacher told all of us that "Yes, you will use this in life" they KNEW we would have kids! What they should have said was this...."You will have to teach it to your kids when you grow up and its not gonna be fun!"


It will get better.....maybe

Happy Birthday to Andrew Billings! September 10, 2007

Happy 16th Birthday to Andrew Billings! His birthday was September 10, 2007!!!!! He is Dianne and Clayton's oldest son! I know how much Andrew loves for me to put him on this webpage! I could go on and on about how I knew Andrew before he was even born. (I'll try to be brief) How I went to his baby shower with Meemaw and Angela, which by the way was the first time I met his mother Dianne. (Tim and I had been dating about 7 months at this point, so I was fairly new to the Butler family. It took Tim a while to introduce me to the family...I don't know why) Andrew was such a cute little thing when he was born and then about 3 or 4 years old he had the cutest curly top head just barely able to see over the dining room table. He would peak at me over the table and then run and hide from me. Andrew has grown up to be a very "TALL" nice young man. He's doing great in High School and this means he can get his drivers license! WATCH OUT WYNNE HERE COMES ANDREW!!!!!

So Happy Birthday to Andrew, love you! (I know he's loving me right about now. ) The years have flown by too quickly.

Funeral Home Humor

This cartoon was in Thursday's (last week) paper.

Thought you all might get a laugh, I did, I KNOW some people like that.

Happy Birthday to Dianna!!!!

Dianna's Birthday September 1, 19???????

Me (Kaye), Dianna Moore and Sharon Forrester

September 6, 2007

For those of you who don't know....Dianna and I have been friends since 1996. So much has happened to both of us these last 11 years and divorce, kids, marriages, KIDS, FAMILY, loosing our sanity, explaining the birds and the bees (that one is mine alone so far!)and still here we are, 11 years later..."Still Kickin' It" !!!!! (I'm trying to be more COOL, is it working?)

I think that the next 10 years are going to be fabulous, both of us will have teenagers all at one time! Surely we can survive the next 10 years! Sharon Forrester makes the 3rd in our group and we love her! We met at Colby's for Dianna's birthday...we are all celebrating our 29th birthday this year.....(someone told me it's not a lie if you already know that NO ONE will believe it! ha ha) We had a great time!

Magic Springs Pictures

August 19, 2007

Me, Taylor, Alyssa, Mary Margaret, and Nicole

All of us at Nicole's apartment in Bryant

Nicole, Taylor, Mary Margaret Me and Alyssa

Magic Springs, Hot Springs

The girls and I went to Magic Springs the weekend before school started and yes I am a little slow with these pictures. We had an awesome time with Nicole and Alyssa. We stayed with them at her apartment in Bryant. Its really nice with a swimming pool. Magic Springs was fun, I don't remember it being that fun when I was little. Dad and Mom used to take me and the boys all the time when we lived in Hot Springs...

We all rode every ride but the ones that were closed (only 2) and YES I did the body slide!!!! WHOOP WHOOP! All the water slides were fun and we stayed until the very last minute possible and then went on a SUPER FAST shopping trip on the way back to Nicoles. We were going to all have our picture made at the place where you dress up in the old western wear...$25 for 3 people!!!!! Highway robbery! I think that we made it home that Sunday night around 11:30 PM!

6th Grade Strikes Again!

Poor, poor Mary Margaret. She ended up in Study Hall yesterday when she was supposed to be in Social Studies. She said that it took a little while for the teacher to realize that she was not in her class that period, so she was late to Social Studies. She said that she cried. I bet she pays better attention to her schedule this time around!

Edline caught her attention. She brought every bit of her homework home with her this time and she actually wrote down what they did in each class... I almost fainted...

She has one class that shares an airconditioner with another classroom, so her math class is always hot. She said that her teacher told them she had a fan to use. Mary Margaret was thinking about those big box fans we use at home. She was disappointed. Mrs. Hicks brought out a 6 inch round fan. Mary Margaret said that she didn't think it put out any air, it was a waste of time!

She also has a 7th grade boy following her around wanting to "go out". Her reaction... "I think he's too old for me!" Whoop Whoop!

The green letters are in honor of Mary Margaret's bad day. Green is her favorite color! Thank you Dianna for the FERGIE CD, our ride to school is so much more "COOL" now, especially when we pull up the JR. High with cool music playing! The girls love FERGIE!

Edline at Wynne Jr. High

For those of you who do not know what Edline is...

I can SEE ALL OF MARYMARGARET'S HOMEWORK AND GRADES!!!!!

I don't think she's going to like it!


BUT I DO!


Kaye

Frist Day of School

Taylor leaving for the 5th grade. Her teachers are Mrs. Turner (we love) and Mrs. Williams (new teacher, minister's wife, we loving that too.) Mary Margaret leaving for the first day of 6th grade. Yes, Julia and Mary Margaret tried to wear the same outfits!

Whose is supposed to cry on the first day of school, the parent or the child. In my case ME. I cried like a baby when Mary Margaret got out looking so grown up and just a baby. She has been so calm since Sunday. Trying to be so grown up. She just looked absolutely beautiful.

I was finished crying by the time we made it around to the intermediate school to drop Taylor off at the 5th grade. I did not cry. She was beautiful too and looking more grown up than she did all summer. I'm not scared for her...

Mary Margaret Butler, Taylor Butler and Delani Brawner

Delani and Charlene met us in Branson for shopping. Here are the girls at the store Hollister. Left to Right MM, Taylor and Delani. Isnt my little sister growing up fast? Charlene and I got into trouble in this store for taking photographs. The "manager" told us that she could take away our cameras if we took anymore photos...it was against store policy. (You all know that Charlene and I plan to sell these photos and make a profit off of Hollister.) PLEASE. It was very dramatic.

More Pictures

Mary Margaret loved the turtles. This tank had about 20-30 turtles in it and this one in the picture loved to have his picture taken.
Friday morning, we left Branson and headed for Mountain View, Arkansas. We try to make it to Blanchard Springs each summer. This is Taylor on her "CHEAP" float that lost its air right after the picture was taken.

Back from VACATION!!!!

Here we are on VACATION at the Aquirum in Springfield, Missouri. We spent Wednesday in Springfield at the Bass Pro Shop and the Museum.
Springfield, Missouri at the museum
Josh went with us and made a new friend!

Both the girls and I tried out the Water Chute in Branson. They lasted the whole hour...me only 1/2 hour. Josh took some pictures of me...but I'm afraid some of you would die of laughter...so those will be kept private!

This weekend was Alyssa's 4th Birthday party. The girls had Julia over and Nicole and Alyssa spent the night too!!!! They all had a blast. Saturday was the pizza party and the swimming party. I'll say the pictures speak for themselves.
