    I am sorry to hear about someone is not happy with our little piece of heaven on Saturday night. I hear some of the people are wanting to have gospel music being played on Saturday night. I believe if people want gospel music then move Friday night to Sunday afternoon. I can tell you this much if you mess with Saturday night you will lose a lot of people and I for one will not come. So leave well enough alone because I enjoy coming on Saturday night . We enjoy the band, the people and the atmosphere.!!!!!!!!!!!

    • February 17, 2016 at 7:55 am

      Cecile, yes, if you don’t see the ones most recent, click on albums, then the month and go from there. Good to see you look and enjoy.

    Hey Hey Hey guess who ? If you said The Brat you are 100 % correct. I was trying to catch up with the latest gossip going on ( Hum ) looks like nobody is watching or just don’t care one or the two. I know for a fact Mama Alice is not being good. Well I guess I will have to wait till I come home to see what is going on. Everybody stay well and for heaven’s sakes try to be good.

      The photos can be viewed by clicking on the “2015 Photos and Videos” under the Blogroll, or by going to the “Photo” page. These photos are in folders by the month in which they were taken. Hope this helps you.

    Our Saturday Night Opry Friends went all out for St. Patrick’s Day. I give Gloria (The Brat)
    a 10* on her outfit with the leprechaun shoes. I was worried they might get caught up in the door when they left. We were all laughing so muchl I think Bill was trying to get her on out before midnight. We have such fun!!…

    • The Brat
      March 22, 2015 at 12:48 pm

      No better place to be on Saturday night than the Woodbine Opry . Bill had more fun than all of us put together. I don’t know how Bob puts up with all of us clowns . We have a good time every week. Good music and good people , just can’t beat it. That hat Bob was wearing I just can’t get over how good it looked on him ( Hum ) new fashion statement you think ?

      • March 24, 2015 at 9:18 pm

        That funny cute hat came from Big Lots and Bob likes it. Due to the color and checked/green for St. Patty’s, it won’t match any other clothes he wears other than St. Patrick’s and well, maybe Halloween! Fashionable, well, sorta like the fashion we used to see on the old weekly “Hee Haw” show series

  7. March 12, 2015 at 9:51 pm

    Hello to all our Opry Friends. Remember this Saturday night we will be observing
    St. Patrick’s Day, so drag out your green attire and headgear, etc. and let’s have our own Mardi-gras celebration and fun at The Woodbine Opry!

    Ring Alert the ring belonging to Wayne Anderson has been found. Many thanks to all for your help in finding this precious little jewel. Now if you guys are interested in this finding of the ring you may ask Wayne about the gruesome details behind his ordeal. This mysterious case has been solved.???????????????????????????????????????????

    • March 8, 2015 at 3:16 pm

      Regarding the mystery of Wayne’s ring, be sure to check out last night’s video titled as “Lost and Found”!!

    March 4, 2015 at 9:28 am

    Hey guy’s it is The Brat here , I heard straight from the horse’s mouth that somehow Wayne Anderson managed to lose a ring that meant a lot to him. So let’s all put on our nose sniffer and help him find the ring that is so important to him.

    Good morning to all of our Woodbine Opry friends. If you missed the saturday program you did miss out on a night of fantastic music The band was outstanding as always. This is a friendly reminder to all, if you are one of these people who has been hanging out by the Fountain Of Love ( water fountain ) BEWARE. I personally saw Bling Bling on the ring finger on the left hand of one of our Opry friends. No No I am not going to tell you who has the new ring with bling-bling on her finger. You all will just have to take notice and watch for the Love Bug floting in and around the building .Don’t know where the jezebel ( Annette ) was , guess she needed a break. Missed you. Ok people this is all I have for this week.
    Stay warm, stay safe and hopefully I will be able to spend some of my saturday night with you. Keep on dancing.

  11. February 23, 2015 at 9:42 am

    This a a TRUE Rumor to humor all: Saturday Night before the program, Bob was out back at his car to get lotion for his cracked hands. Our Opry Friend (we will keep HIM anonymous) came up to Bob and asked what he was doing. Bob showed him the five splits on one hand and was putting some ointment on them. This man said to Bob, “I’ve got some some lotion my gynecologist gave me, I’ll give you some”. Bob immediately said, “Your
    gynecologist gave you-you don’t mean you have a gynecologist?” Then a dumb look came on HIS face and he told Bob, “you know that doctor that works on your skin”. Bob told HIM, “That’s a dermatologist”. The MAN said “Oh, I got my “ologist” confused”. Once again we will keep our Opry Friend anonymous, however his initials are DH (and his wife’s name is Harriett). Bob was trying to tell me this when we were were dancing but he was too tickled to finish telling it. We’re not ones to go around spreading rumors – Ha!

    I heard all about her escapade!! She just needs to keep the lead out of the right foot! I still love her though and don’t want to see anything happen!! You be careful out there Miss Alice!!

    • February 17, 2015 at 6:17 pm

      I can verify what The Brat is saying cause I was standing there with them when Alice gave her the details. I could hardly believe my ears!

  13. The Brat
    February 17, 2015 at 2:19 pm

    Ok people tune your antennas in on what I am about to tell you. I was talking to Mama Alice and she proceeded to tell me about a day out in her little white car. She was out for a little drive and singing a little song, and totality was not paying attention to her surrounding. All of a sudden Mama Alice noticed all these cars flying past her so she speeds up to keep up with them, low and behold she looks down at her speed ometer and she is going 70 mph. If you see a little white bullet coming down the road in Kingsland, Ga. that be my Mama Alice little Miss Lead Foot. Just take a step back and let her go. That is my story and I am sticking to if !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you Mama Alice

  14. February 14, 2015 at 9:56 am

    Did ya’ll get time to watch the video from Saturday night with Aubrey singing “Johnny B Goode”? Guess who made his debut on the dance floor; he was really moving. Watch and see for yourself. We had so much fun and so did our High Sheriff!

  15. The Brat
    February 3, 2015 at 9:50 am

    My my guess who ? If you said The Brat you are correct. I don’t know much gossip but I was told that Dee has moved back Kingsland, Ga. Now if you think you have saw someone that looks like Dee it may have been her. Maybe she will come over to Woodbine one Saturday night. We would all enjoy seeing her. Dee is one tough cookie ( you go girl ) So much for that moving on to Miss Alice. Now let me tell you she is another book all together. I know she was not feeling up par last saturday night because she was not her happy bubbly self. Now Mama you know it makes The Brat sad when you are not feeling up to par, so let us get with the program and kick that bug out of town. I love you Mama Alice.
    Ok that is my story and I am sticking to it. Until next time stay warm. Beware you never know who is watching.

    • February 3, 2015 at 12:44 pm

      Hey Ronnie: Did you REALLY believe the gossip stopped and that everybody is on their best behavior? Read the Saturday night blog! We had lots of fun; maybe too much even the sheriff’s deputies came in to see for themselves? You had to be there to believe it. Come join us!

      • Ronnie Hickox
        February 5, 2015 at 9:39 am

        Hi Annette, yea I seen that did someone get into a fight? There is always one in every group. See you when the nights get a little warmer. Tell Bob to keep them straight.

        • February 7, 2015 at 9:46 am

          Ronnie: No, there were no fights, just folks exercising their rights granted them under the First Amendment for “Freedom of speech” most of it about SEAT-SAVING. To the casual visitor, it may appear to be “Mayhem and Chaos”; but we regulars know it’s just the Saturday Night UPROAR in full swing!☺

  16. January 24, 2015 at 10:40 am

    This is NOT gossip, just good info to share with all our Opry Friends. We all do have such a great time celebrating life and events at The Woodbine Opry. While looking around in Glynn Rent-All Party Shop, they informed me that they have a 50% cost reduction of all their remaining costumes, etc. We have Valentine,s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween and other Holidays that we all enjoy sharing and getting “in the mood” with. I saw my old Roaring 40’s Halloween costume there and it’s 50% off now. Yippee! I AM GOING BACK NEXT WEEK! THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK THEM OUT TOO! Glynn Rent-All Party Shop is located at 2723 Glynn Avenue (Hwy. 17), phone 912-265-0165.

  18. May 22, 2014 at 8:37 pm

    If ya’ll missed last Saturday Night’s Program, check it out on FB TheWoodbineOpry/Saturday Night. Guest Singer from England John Cupit and Bob had difficulties; Bob with his hearing and John with his heavy English accent. You have to watch for yourself. When John was getting ready to sing “Crystal Chandeliers”, he settled the barrier by hand; LITERALLY!
    Watch and enjoy!

  19. May 8, 2014 at 3:12 pm

    Hello to the Brat! When will you and Bill be back home? We sure miss ya’ll! Not much gossip going on when you’re gone!

  20. May 5, 2014 at 1:55 pm

    Uh Oh – somebody else drank from the “fountain of love”. You might find out if you read “Opry Friends”!

  21. April 12, 2014 at 10:51 am

    If you prefer to socialize and chat with your Opry Friends or dance in the additional room opened last week for our Opry Guests, a closed circuit tv is tuned in there to see and hear the Opry Program. Of course, you will miss the “uproar” that goes on in the auditorium, but you do have that option; it is MUCH quieter in there. With the crowds we’ve been having, we now have room to accommodate all!

  22. April 5, 2014 at 7:54 am

    This is to the Brat: Sure has been quiet on here again. Did you hear last Saturday that another Opry Friend who was in one of our pictures drinking from the water fountain last fall told us he was getting married this week; last name Cook! And did you see this week’s pictures who else was drinking from this “fountain of love”; her name is Mary! Oh do you miss a lot sitting over there on your side; then again I hear a lot of “uproar” going on over there so ya’ll must be having a good time too! Where is Wayne when we need some more to talk about? And how about Elaine and H.D.?

    Hello to all, guess you know who is at this end talking back at you. If you said The Brat you are so right Well to start with it was so good to see Mr. Ed back after a brief illness. I do believe cupid is floating in the air at woodbine opry again. I tell you people you gotta watch that water fountain of love. Many thanks to our band for the music and the hard work that is put into bringing us this fine entertainment on Saturday night . If it was not for them we would not have a Saturday night of dancing at the woodbine opry. Happy trails to all until next week. From The Brat…………………………………………………………………………

  28. March 4, 2014 at 6:48 am

    Now Brat, you should know by now, that there are NO secrets in Woodbine. You will just have to ask around and keep your ears tuned. All gossip goes around in a circle and comes back sorta twisted??! Ha!

    Hey, hey, hey , Guess Who ? If you said The Brat you are absolutely correct. I have been thinking about something. Has anyone other than me notice how happy Marta is these days ? I do declare she walks around with a big smile on her face all the time. Hum wonder if she has been drinking the water from the fountain of love. I got a secret;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Somebody will be sporting her new shiny ring. She had to get it sized and so she got it back this week. Everybody keep watching the RING FINGER. OK , so I told part of my secret, but you did not hear it from me . It is about time HD and Elaine came home . We missed you guys and hope you had an enjoyable trip. OH,OH there is two new shiny rings . So happy hunting .

    This is a note for BOB STAATS , to start with I (The Brat) would like to commend you on how good you can keep your cool. I heard bits and pieces of talk going on behind the scenes last night. What I gathered up from last night there is a whole lot of BACKSTABBING or BACKBITING which ever way you want to call it. Bob, you and the band is giving all of us people a place to go and have an enjoyable night out to socialize and enjoy good music and most of all the dancing.
    Now my message to all the people we are a loving family, we are there for each other whether it be good or bad , so come on people lets pull together and not try to cause chaos in the building. My final quote is If you don’t enjoy Saturday night live with all the woodbine friends STAY HOME AND BE MISERABLE BY YOURSELF…………………………..
    That is my story whether you like it or not and I am sticking to it. This is The Brat and if this shoe fits your ugly feet put them on wear them???????????????????????????????

  38. January 4, 2014 at 3:19 pm

    UH OH – Sure hope the “High Sheriff” isn’t reading all this; we’d better watch out for HIM this evening! He might be wearing his big tin badge and try to bring peace and order to all the “TOO MUCH FUN” we’re all having? On another thought…………….

    Happy New Year 2014 to all .Let us all start the new year out the right way. Let me start out by saying something nice to all the people at woodbine, because this maybe the only nice thing you hear on this Grapevine this year. Just remember whatever true gossip I may say about you I still love you and you did not hear it from me. Wayne, I don’t know who is trying to fix what that is not broken with the band. Don’t you know it is not nice to try and fool The Brat. Now explain yourself man. Maybe HD & Miss Elaine will quite living the high life and come on back and see us little people at woodbine. I sure hope the eyes belonging to Larry will soon be better so he will stop trying to get all of Bonnie’s attention because the girl needs to breathe a little bit. Two thumbs up Bonnie you’re doing a good job taking of Larry. He look so bad I (The Brat) could not pick on him and that is bad. Stay Warm and we hope to see all of you tonight.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014. To Annette : I don’t know her last name , but she was looking sharp and had a big smile on her face. I know for a fact two ladies got a ring for Christmas . one is not wearing it because it is two big for her little finger. The other lady has hers on , so keep your eyes open and watch for the finger with a new shiny ring on it . I have got to go for now.

    December 31, 2013 at 6:42 am

    To all our Woodbine family this is the brat talking to you for the last time this year. Today is New Years Eve please be safe and make good choices. Can’t see where this year has gone. Now for some good gossip did anyone notice how sharp Barb is looking ? Hum interesting. I just wonder does she have a man tucked away somewhere that we don’t know about ? I saw Annette running behind Timmy with her evil little camera . Timmy was headed to the fountain of love to get a long drink of water. Now people that was funny. I would be willing to bet there is not a dull moment in the Staats home. I can just see Bob standing back shaking his head at Annette not knowing what she will do or say next. This is my story and I am sticking to it. Hope to see all you people next year 2014…………….Love to all The Brat…………

    • December 31, 2013 at 7:23 pm

      In reply to The Brat, we wish you a joyful and safe New Year’s Eve, as well.
      Now, let me get back to the Brat, who is Barb? Well YOU instigated the “Fountain of Love”; IT is working and I’m sticking only with the facts as Sgt. Friday (Jack Webb) used to say. And as my Dad used to say, “The camera don’t lie”. If somebody is doing something evil; the camera will catch it; all in fun. Do you remember who the last three opry friends are that partook of the “fountain”? I’ll give you a clue; it worked on the last one and she was grinning like a Cheshire cat!!! The other one is well, coming along. Now Tim, did you notice the grin on his face when he drank from the “fountain of love”? It really does work-it’s a miracle!?? Bob is standing here with that “deer in the headlights” look-no clue what is going on; OH now he’s saying, “IT’S GOOD FOR BUSINESS”? We are all amongst friends.
      Happy New Year to all our Opry Friends!

I can tell you all this much Dee may be little but she is like a little stick of Dynamite . So I can tell you this much I don’t know what George did or what he may have said but don’t do it anymore please ! Wayne , you thought cute little Bobbie was rough, sure hope she don’t take lesson from Dee. I would like to say to all this is the magical time of the year and I know we all cut up a lot on this Grapevine but it is all in fun , so please say something nice about someone. I love each and everyone of you, have a merry, merry Christmas , be safe and make wise decisions. Many thanks to Bob & Annette and Band.

    We hope to be back this coming week ??????????????? depending on the whather. We do miss our friends at Woodbine, it is just not the same for us when we are not there. It is just like playing hooky from school it is really no fun. It is a good feeling to know we are missed. I got a message from The Jezebel and she said the other side where we all sit are having to much fun , but she don’t know who it is. Hum interesting ! Guess she thought it was me causing all that uproar all along. Now she is really confused because she don’t know who it is.
    Hope to be back in the South soonnnnnnnnnnnnnn .Be safe and take care .

    Hey Wayne, I thought Miss Alice was being true to me ? Was i wrong ? From what you wrote it don’t sound like it. I thought I could depend on you to watch out for my woman. Can’t let The Brat know what I am telling you because she won’t let come back. You know we have got to beware of HD and Larry . They are a little sneaky around the edges don’t you think ? We are missing all our friends and can’t wait for some warm weather.Tired of wearing long pants and heavy coat. It is 24 degrees outside right now. Trying not to kill any Deer or Bears when I go out on the road. Never know when they will jump off the bank in front of your car. We will see you all soon……………………. Bill……………….

    Hey Brats, You missed a great time last night at the Opry. Talking about dancing to “Blue Suede Shoes, after that and during the cake raffle, your buddies over on that side of the auditorium sounded like they were in a ball game; when Bobbi won a cake, they were doing the “Go Bobbi, Go Bobbi, Go Bobbi”, then when Big John won, they were doing the “Go Big John, Go Big John, Go Big John”! Can you imagine trying to get Bobbi and Big John to hurry up? Well Big John had more to “hurry up” after-know what I mean? It was like “Getti-up, getti-up, go go go”! You missed too much fun! Hurry up and get back before we start gossiping about ya’ll.

    Hey Brat: We sure have missed ya’ll since you’ve been up North these past few weeks. I have no clue as to who’s got that “rumbling and racket” going on over there but I have my suspicions. Last Saturday, Wayne mentioned how this “grapevine” was about to dry up since ya’ll have been gone. Maybe Wayne and Bobbi, Bonnie and Larry, or Elaine and H.D. can share who’s doing what over on that side. From where I sit on the other side I can’t be sure, but sounds like they’re have a good ole’ time. Help us out here-curious minds want to know!?

    Well, well, well guess who ? Yes it is I The Brat here talking at you. I to am missing all my friends at Woodbine. I will be so happy to see some warm weather again. This little chickadee went outside for a bit and you will never guess what I saw ? Well let me tell what I saw, it was a sheet of ice in the birdbath. I told Bill if it snows up here in them there mountain I will make him into a real live snowman. Oh my gosh, I sound like one of them there hillbillies talking. See you all soon…………….From Bill and The Brat……………………..

  54. November 20, 2013 at 6:06 pm

    I sure do miss the Brat’s. It’s been TOO quiet these past couple of weeks and this page has been TOO inactive. Anyone else out there notice the “rumbling” has been down ?? ” Hurry up and get back home-we miss ya’ll” to the Brat’s.

I tried to tell about Miss Elaine’s temper. I know she was getting tired of you dancing with ? I got a secret. I hope she did not put a big knot on top of your head. Love you guys.

    This comment is for Lois, I heard that you made the statement about Miss Alice the only way to keep her mouth closed is to put a large roll of tape on them there LIPS. I will not tell you who said it , but when Annette told me I could not believe she would tell me such gossip. I can tell you what Miss Alice said to me (The Brat) Saturday night that some of these old fogies just don`t know how to have fun . She said she was going to have her some fun while she is able. Maybe she did not say it quiet like that, but that is what she meant . Miss Alice I would not have you any other as a friend, you know how to laugh and have good clean fun. I guess that is how you put a spell on all the people who love you so dearly. OK , this is my story and I am sticking to if………………… The Brat………….

      For the Brat–yes, I did say that the only way to keep Miss Alice’s mouth shut was to put tape on it!! I admit it. I even told her and she just laughed. You know that is true. She really needed more tape Monday night after our committee meeting!! She is a real sport and I love her too. We have a lot of fun don’t we. Anyone who takes us seriously is in a lot of trouble.

    This is The Brat talking back at you and I personally do not know where to start with this gossip (?) Miss Alice, I do declare woman you have it going on. You have all the men folk Spell-Bound. Let me tell y`all what I witness with my own two eyes. All these men flocking to Miss Alice when she made her grand entrance into the building at woodbine. Bill was trying to sneak a little smooch from Miss Alice and Wayne happen to see what was going on and I thought he was going to fall over his own feet trying to get to her to put a stop to Bill. Then Wayne ask Miss Alice to dance a slow close dance and guess what happen then ? It all broke loose on the dance floor on the side that Annette is sitting on. Bill tapped Wayne on the shoulder to dance with Miss Alice, Lew tapped Bill, HD tapped Lew, and then Larry could not stand it so he left poor little Bonnie standing on the dance floor with Elaine and myself (The Brat) so he could get his dance with her (Miss Alice). I am just going to give up on trying to keep Bill away from that other woman (Miss Alice). So if you missed coming to Woodbine to hear our great band play on Saturday night you not only missed some of the best music around and some of the best people you will ever meet and a whole lot laughter. So come on and join in on the fun because woodbine does not pull the sidewalks in at dark-thirty. It is just starting…………………………Don`t forget to wear your pink……………………

    We will see every one tonight. What would we do without THE WOODBINE OPRY and all our wonderful friends ? Thank you all for making this THE place be on Saturday Night..!

They were so pleasant and really enjoyed their evening with us. Check out the photo of them in the hallway at http://www.thewoodbineopry.com They told us they may visit with us again this evening before going back home.

    Well I see Wayne is back in town. I sure hope sweet little Bobbie got his head cleared out so he might be able to think clearly now. Bill and I went to Woodbine Saturday night and something just was not right. After being there for a short time I realized Big John the High Sheriff was not there. Sorry to hear you and your wife has been sick. Hope to see y`all back soon. We need our High Sheriff to keep order in this auditorium.
    Let me tell y`all what I saw with my own two eyes. Are you ready for this ? Miss Alice was dressed to shine and did she shine. Somebody made Miss Alice say a bad word (?) So she put tape over her lips and Bill saw the tape and thought she was saving that pair of lips for him. So he walk up to her and laid a BIG KISS on that pair of taped up lips. Miss Alice had one big smile on her face. I have news for Bill she smiles at all the men folk. Miss Alice you sure are looking good and you know I (THE BRAT) will always love you. Well this is my story and I am sticking to it. Hope to see all of you back at Woodbine on Saturday night. To all stay well and be safe……………………………………………………

    It is me The Brat back one more time, I forgot to tell you all what I heard. Are you ready for this ? Well I heard Sweet Little Bobbie had to get Wayne out of State of Georgia because Wayne was getting out of control. She could not do anything with him. He (Wayne) told Sweet Little Bobbie he loves her but when he gets around the other woman (MISS ALICE) he just can`t think straight, his head is in a fog. Good luck Bobbie.

    Hello to all, it is The Brat talking back at you all. It is always good to spend quality time with our baby girls. We all must be very cautious of Miss Alice. Just because she was not very active doesn`t mean she does not have a plan going on behind that cute little smile of hers. I sure hope Timmy has had a good long talk with his Mother. Bill is so ready to get to the Woodbine Opry. He said to me (The Brat) I miss all my friends at Woodbine. Hum interesting . I do believe I think about this. I sure hope Lew and Bill don`t have a staring match tonight over Miss Alice.
    I had the pleasure of spending some time with HD and Miss Elaine last night and let me you what HD said to me , I see you have not been on the Grapevine this week. I told you all he is a little Sneaky Pete. Love you Miss Alice. Will see y`all tonight after the sun goes down and the moon comes out. From; The Brat

    Hey Hey The Brat is talking back at you. Did you miss me ? Hum don`t answer it`s okay because I know you did. Well I had the pleasure of speaking with HD and Miss Elaine and let me tell you what HD ask me, where have you been ? I said to him what are you talking about ? He said I (HD) have not saw you on that Grapevine recently. The last time you were on there was Sept. 09, 2013 . So I am thinking to myself are you one of these guys sneaking onto the Grapevine trying to see who the gossip is about this week. Oh my, shane on you Mr. HD I sure hope Miss Elaine don`t find out about this . I know what a short temper Miss Elaine has got and I would hate to see Mr. HD a couple of inches shorter than he was because she would be on him like white on rice. Love you all and we will see y`all soon.

    September 9, 2013 at 5:52 pm

    Well this is The Brat talking to all my Woodbine friends one more time. This is a little note for Bob, I am so sorry to hear that Annette did not appreciate the time you put into trying to show her how fortunate she to not have to work in a saloon being a saloon gal and having them there old stinking cowboys coming in drinking and having to be nice them because it is part of the job. That is not a way of life for a Lady of her standards. I do believe she should appreciate you more than she does. I just wonder what all our friends think about this ? Hum interesting.

  77. September 6, 2013 at 7:18 pm

    Brat: Bob did take me to Buster’s Saloon down in those hills, nothing but cowboys and oil field workers and I refused to go in. I’m not sure they didn’t have horses out back, especially since I’ve seen on their FB page a horse inside that saloon. Check that out “Buster’s Saloon” on Facebook in Sun City, Ks. Oh yeah Gloria, what a doosie of a trip, especially our honeymoon? You should be so “blessed”? that Bill takes you out there for your next anniversary-then we’ll compare notes! Ha! Keep us posted on your whereabouts and your return to the Saturday Night Opry! We miss ya’ll so much.

  78. The Brat
    September 5, 2013 at 11:09 pm

    Annette; sounds to me like you had one fantastic trip looking at the tumbleweeds and whirly winds and miles and miles of raw landscaping and the coyotes . That had to be a trip to remember. Now Annette not all of us are as fortunate as you are to be able to take a trip as interesting as you have. Was that not a honeymoon to remember ? You should thank Bob each and every day for the opportunity to learn how the people lived in the wild west . Did you get to go into any of the saloons in the western towns ? Hum interesting. Until the coyotes howl at the moon one more time. From The Brat…………………..

  79. September 5, 2013 at 6:07 am

    Back to Tim and his trip to Wichita, has anybody talked with him about that? He keeps telling Bob he can’t wait to go back. By the way, TK is out somewhere in the “plain” states, as well. Any of ya’ll know what he’s doing out there? Bob took me out there, it was so “plain”, that I don’t ever want to go back! When he showed me that little house on the prairie; I told him to take me to the nearest airport and I’d fly back home. I wonder what the FASCINATION is with these guys about going “out there”??? I didn’t see NOTHING I wanted, just tumbleweeds, hurricane-like winds, cows, oil wells, and miles and miles of nothing but miles-good grief! I am never never going back!

    Hey, Hey, Hey it`s The Brat talking at you. Thank you for the update on Saturday night. Sorry to hear you are having a problem with black boots getting in your way. I was looking at the pictures on the internet and I saw Wayne trying to hold Bobbie back. You know I do think she has had enough of Wayne running after all the women at Woodbine. You know Annette I do believe Wayne is going through Manopause. I saw him hanging onto Jean and Bonnie and Larry was just standing there looking at Bobbie as to say can`t you do something with him. In one of the pictures it look like Bobbie and Wayne were Arm Westling and I do believe she was getting the of him.It sure look like Miss Alice was trying to be good sitting in that seat.
    ( Hum Interesting ) maybe that closet gave her little scare last week. Well just had to check-in
    and say we miss all our Woodbine friends .See you soon From Bill and The Brat……………

Tell Miss Alice to set the mop on the outside before closing that door to the gosh awful room. It is plagued with no good in it . Keep your eyes open and keep me informed. From The Brat?????????????????????????????

  84. August 31, 2013 at 3:25 pm

    This is The Brat talking to you.I am still out of town but I am keeping my eye on you. This is your inner conscience talking to you Wayne. I had a long talk with Sweet little Bobbie this week and she is just beside her self with Wayne and his woman chasing. She state to me that she is fixing to clip the wings on that Buzzard (Wayne) , and then she is going to introduce him to Have Teeth Will Bite. Wayne I may have Bill out of town but you still have Larry and HD to compete with. Oh by the way somebody please keep a lock on that closet door. Y`all have a good time tonight and play nice. Keep on rocking . From Bill and The Brat……..

    To Lucky Blue Eyes; I am so sorry to hear about your problem with Lew and Miss Alice, and by all means we can `t leave Wayne out. I thought I was the only woman having a problem with her man. I understand why Bobbie has her motor running so fast now because she is trying to compete for all the attention of her man. It was so bad with Bill I had to get him out of town. I just wonder if Miss Elaine has kept HD under control ? I also wonder if Bonnie has Larry under control because he is a little sneaky pete. I saw him looking back at Miss Alice also (I think he was looking at her maybe or maybe not) . Hum interesting. Thanks for update ………………….. The Brat.

Well I’m here to tell you I have never been in a situation such as this in my life!
    Miss Alice, Bless your heart , you can’t help it if these men want to make a Jack uh rabbit of themselves,….OR can You???

Well let me tell you I (The Brat) was not there saturday night but I was looking at the pictures that was taken and put on the internet of the people at Woodbine on Saturday night and let me tell all the folks I understand now what Bob is talking about when he said you better be with the one you are suppose to be with because all of the internet will see you. Ok now guess who I saw hugging in the closet ? If you guess Wayne and Miss Alice. Yes it is true I saw it myself on the pictures. I sure don`t want Bill to see this. Missing all of y`all………………. The Brat

  90. August 25, 2013 at 5:38 pm

    Hey Brat; Don’t you worry about the “house-rocking” just cause you’re gone. You should have seen what Bob saw from the stage. Joan was helping George celebrate his birthday on the dancefloor; so as they were standing and talking there; George went to his seat. Then Bob started singing “Thanks A Lot”; Joan turned to dance with George and guess what? She was in the arms of Lew! Talk about talking; she didn’t know who was where-oh is Woodbine the place to be! They all got so tickled-funny funny! Check out the video-I wondered what Bob was so amused about; everybody had fun!
    We really missed ya’ll.

    August 25, 2013 at 9:41 am

    Good morning to all our Woodbine friend. This is Sunday morning and I do hope y`all had a rocking good time last night. I thought I had Bill under control but I see I don`t. He is sneaking back to the computer late at night . Now tell what is wrong with this picture ? Annette thought she had problems with Bob and Dingo . If I did not know what a fine upstanding lady Miss Alice is I would be very upset at the way these men folk and their shamful way they are acting. Well looks like Bobbie and The Brat is going to have to team up together and win this war. All Bobbie has to do is show Wayne her teeth and that will calm him down. This is all the gossip I know at this point …………………. The Brat……………………..

You know she is my woman and you wait till The Brat takes me out of town she said it was to clear out my head so I can think a little better. Well I not so sure about that . I do know I need a good dose of Woodbine to clear out my head, but The Brat said I need some good clean fresh air . Missing all my friends Bill……………………..

    This is a message for Miss Alice, I (Bill) just want you to know how much I miss looking at that beautiful face of your. I heard my friend ? Wayne got a hug from you. I sure hope he is not trying to take my place while I am away. You have got to be careful of him because he will not be true to you. You also have to watch out for that man called HD all he wants is to dance with you. Until I return ……………….Bill…. PS. Also that Larry you sure can`t trust him either so beware.

I never saw a person fall under a spell like he has. I don`t know how Miss Alice does it but she is good. So we will be back as soon as I get him straighten out. Good to hear that Woodbine is still rocking . Miss you all The Brat ………………………..

  96. August 18, 2013 at 9:35 pm

    I do believe Wayne is talking about the Brats. I mean the auditorium was packed so full you couldn’t fit another body on the floor. We missed the “rowdiness” that usually goes on over on your side of the floor but it was “rocking and rolling” with Larry and Bonnie, H.D. and Elaine, and Bill and Debbie. Larry and Gin were again moving it on our side, along with Glenn and Lawanda and Buddy and Annette. Bob and I finally had the chance for one dance; wow-we felt like packed sardines in a can; it was so crowded. Everybody had a really great time. If you can’t picture all that, go to the website and photobucket and see for yourself. You won’t believe it! We had fun and but we missed the Brats.
    Hurry up and get back!

    This is for Lucky Blue Eyes you are a very smart lady and we all love Miss Alice, but she do love her men folk. When Bill is kind of down he will dance with Miss Alice and come back with a Big Smile on his face .It is just like I said last week she has a spell on the men. You take it easy and slow until you can get this under control. You have a good man to stand with you ,so you lean on him and make him feel good. You know he loves you much.

    Hay everyone,
    Now for everyone’s curiosity I have been having some problems with the Ole Ticker and following Dr. Butlers advise until we can pin point the problem, I think it’s nothing much but I don’t want to ignore or do anything to cause a problem.
    Now about Miss Alice and Lew………Hum where do I start!! Lew and I both just love h er to death, She was in the corner because we arrived later than usual and she insisted we take her seat and Lew loves the fast dances , and so dose she . I could not do them so there you go.
    However I would say MY MAMA DIDN’T RAISE ANY FOOLS, But I’m not too sure of that ( AM THE EXCEPTION) So I am keeping a close eye on the two of them.
    Miss Alice, Miss Alice, Pray tell What spell have you cast on our men folk ?
    We will see everyone this evening Lew has had a bad week and needs a good ole dose of The Woodbine Opry Lucky Blue Eyes

    Hey Brat: Now you were right about cute short brunette Annette setting off the fire alarm the first time. We sure miss her; was told her job shift changed and that’s why she hasn’t been back lately. But the second person who set it off was NOT Hershel; Ronnie is right about that. It was someone with such “personality” and that is my last clue; do you get the picture???

    • The Brat
      August 8, 2013 at 6:47 pm

      Come on girl you got to tell me more ???????????????????????
      Must be Bob, because he is the only one up there with any personality at all. I do know who Bob calls Mr. Personality himself. I am at a loss.

      • August 9, 2013 at 6:18 am

        Well, I do declare, I guess you will have to listen REAL close this coming Saturday when the Bob introduces the band members and you will figure out who Mr. Personality is. It’s as obvious as the little mustache and expression on his face! Give me the name!

            You are correct and guess what you win?- A free pass to The Saturday Night Opry-be sure to let the ladies at the front table know!

            • The Brat
              August 11, 2013 at 10:37 am

              I never never win anything so you know I am extremely excited about my winning. I will use my free pass when I get back from my vacation. Nah,Nah,Nah,Nah I won a free pass and y`all did not.

  104. August 4, 2013 at 12:55 pm

    I’ll know; I just figured it out, ya’ll were doing that dance, “Stop, Drop and Roll” or was that a fire drill we were taught back in our schooldays? These Golden Years are fun; just a little distorted about what happened when and where. At least, we’ll all be ready if the fire extinguisher alarm goes off again! Remember the night “someone” leaned against the wall and set the fire alarm off? That was too funny! I recall who did it- do you?

    • The Brat
      August 4, 2013 at 4:13 pm

      I do remember that night and I am so glad I was on the other side. O OOOO did you see Miss Alice last night when Bill was rubbing her arms after the dance and did not think anybody was looking. Well let me tell you girl if you did not see her I can tell you what it look like, are you ready for this ? You know when Bob gives Dingo a back scratch how still he can get ? Well I thought Miss Alice`s legs were going to give out on her and they were doing it right in front of me. I sure don`t know what power she has over him, it is just like Bill is under a spell. So all you ladies Beware. Hun ! I just wonder if she has anything to do with that water fountain at Woodbine ? I can tell you this much I will keep an eye on Bill when goes down that hallway next time. I will put a stop to him going near that evil fountain……… Have fun reading everybody…………….. I love you Miss Alice

      • August 4, 2013 at 6:33 pm

        Okay, if you remember, who set off the alarm? Give me names.
        I mean ya’ll have ring number one, where you are; there’s ring number two somewhere around the back section, same side.
        And we have ring #3 pretty much the front area on my side; but
        the back area on my side is QUIET, except for the talking. It’s like the Barnum and Bailey
        Circus; everything but the trapeze; I mean we have the artists who are performing their talents on the dance floor and having SO much fun!
        By the way, why was Alice sitting way over there in the back corner against the wall? I thought she very quiet last night.
        Why was Carol so quiet; I noticed Lew was dancing with Alice?
        And Larry and Gin, aren’t they about the cutest couple?
        And “wonder woman”, she and John do seem to enjoy dancing together.
        Now about Bob’s vile creature of a dog Dingo, do you mean Bob is still or Dingo is when getting scratched?

        • The Brat
          August 5, 2013 at 7:23 am

          I am not real good with names, but her name was Annette I believe. I don`t know why Miss Alice was sitting in that dark corner. I can`t see her from where I am sitting. As far as Lew I do believe he has not been himself lately due to the fact of the behavior of Miss Alice and Carol is to the point she tell Lew just go on and dance with her. I would guess that is why Carol was so quiet. I was trying to tell all of you ladies Miss Alice has cast a spell on all these men…………. Who is Larry and Gin ?………….
          Is Wonder Woman called Linda ? If so, yes then they seem to really enjoy each other; Hum ! I just wonder if they have been hanging out around that gosh awful water Fountain. Are you trying to tell me Dingo scratches Bob back ? Well no wonder he won`t send Dingo to the farm.

          • August 5, 2013 at 2:09 pm

            You are right, but not this Annette. Our Opry Friend Annette, who used to dance with Lonnie was the first. Then the second to set the alarm off was a band member?? Bob says it WILL happen again; just wait and see!
            Oh yes, right again, Wonder Woman is Linda.
            And Dingo, wrong; he bites Bob’s toes and he must like it, he laughs and is still here??
            Larry and Gin sit behind Love and Dick; he wears a neat hat and recently acquired a little white mustache and she wore a stylish brown dress Saturday.

            • The Brat
              August 5, 2013 at 9:38 pm

              Now now to start with I can see the problem in the Staats household. If you would bite Bob toes Dingo would be out and you would be in. And yes I do know who Gin is . I do remember that ( cute) little brown dress. Yes, and as for Wonder Woman I do believe her and John hit it off ( It is getting a little warm in here ) . The band member was Herschel I believe that set the alarm off the second time . Am I right or wrong ?

              • Ronnie
                August 7, 2013 at 8:22 pm

                Herschel said he never set off alarm. Must have been while we were not there. We don’t remember.

  105. August 4, 2013 at 12:00 pm

    OH – WOW! Did ya’ll get a look at the mugshots on that poster The Brat had last night? I’m sure glad my name and picture wasn’t on it; Bob would probably confine me to the house Friday nights if I hung out with those folks. They sure know how to rock the house! Even on Saturdays; I can feel the floor wobbling from the dancing going on over on that side of the auditorium! I wonder if that’s what caused that big crack in the dancefloor?

    • The Brat
      August 4, 2013 at 12:40 pm

      The crack in the floor I don`t think it`s all the rocking or rough housing on that side of the auditorium. I do believe it maybe all the Bertha Butts that has kissed the floor. I will probably be the next one to kiss it. Boy would that be a sight ? And yes we all know how to have good clean fun , this is what life is all about……………… We will see you all after the sun rises six more days over Woodbine, Ga. . Take care and stay safe.

      • August 4, 2013 at 1:04 pm

        Oh we are staying very safe; Bob has been filling the hummingbird feeders and watching for them. Now he’s on the riding mower. We will be safe until next Saturday Night, for sure; but THEN, anything is possible at The Saturday Night Opry- I can hardly wait!
        Good grief; I have to take my afternoon nap; last night’s dancing, chatting, and fun wore me out! You haven’t heard the last of all I heard and saw last night; the day is young.

      • August 4, 2013 at 1:25 pm

        Hey, did ya’ll go to the videos today of last night’s Johnny B. Goode; we have our own rowdiness over our side too; I am impressed. Glenn can really dance to that tune; talking about “getting down”, I am amazed he could bring himself back up! Last week, I noticed a bounce but the young fella sprang up faster than greased lightning and most important, he was not hurt.
        Those young gentlemen know how to dance and have a good time too. We are happy they feel comfortable joining us and being part of our Woodbine Friends.

  106. August 4, 2013 at 11:26 am

    August 4, 2013 at 10:29 am

    Good morning to all. I had the best time at Woodbine last night. I have some good juicy gossip for all who are interested. Ok to start with did anyone notice Bonnie sporting a black cowgirl hat and all that Bling – Bling on her black jacket and the black pants she was wearing. She was the stunning lady in black if I may say so. Ok Larry I do believe you will have to step it up a notch and become the man in black ( lol ) . I just wonder if Bonnie got the switch after Larry last night ? Because he was in big trouble for something. And no I don`t know why. Now that I think about it could have been when Larry and Bill was dancing together and left Bonnie and me (The Brat) just standing there. O well what can do. Wayne, you are be missed really bad by George, he was acting really funny last night . He was not having anything to do with anyone other than Dee and that is how I know it is you he is missing . I have more gossip so check back a little later………………………….

Hum ! could this be true ? If this is true you go girl. She has a glow about her these days. I just wonder could it be Bill causing the glow or maybe the Bike. Now come on if anyone Knows let us all hear from you.

    • Bonnie
      August 3, 2013 at 7:40 am

      You are right about Debra’s glow, I’ve never seen her quite like that before. I can’t tell you why it is, you just have to watch her on the dance floor and read it on her face for yourself.

    Bill said to tell you to keep that crying towel close to your heart because he has been there and he knows what you are feeling. He said he knows how it feels when you are in love and far apart . Try not to think about it and it will be easier to get through this . If you need a friend to talk to please don`t call George , called Larry or Bill. ……………..

    July 22, 2013 at 9:06 pm

    Did anybody see Bonnie dancing on the steps Saturday night ? I wonder if she was trying to melt that candy bar in Larry shirt pocket ? Hum interesting, or did he eat the candy bar ? I will have to think about this for a little while…………………….We will need to watch them a little closer………………………….

  119. The Brat
    July 22, 2013 at 7:27 pm

    This is to Wayne; all your friends were thinking you were Mad, Sick, or just did not want anything to do with us ? And now just look at you wanting to sit there and BRAG on yourself….You just wait , talk about pick, we all got it in for you. Now what you got to say Big Boy??????????????????

  120. July 22, 2013 at 2:52 am

    did everyone see how good wayne was sat. night he did not pick on anyone you go boy

  121. The Brat
    July 21, 2013 at 4:14 pm

    I don`t know why Tim is going out of town. Must be following his dream;;;;; Hum interesting.
    You know Miss Alice can be so tight lip about some things you could not break them there lips loose even if you had a air-gun with a chisel hooked to the end of it. And to, maybe Tim is tired of trying to keep that woman in line. I think I know why she is sitting on that back row now,#1 Timmy told her to sit and don`t you move, or #2 she is looking at all the men as they come in so she can pick the ones she likes. All I can say is she is out of control. Cougar gone wild. And as far as George I don’t`t know if Joan saw him looking or doing something she just did not like ? OK Joan you can tell me what is up with George, because you and I are closer than a Rat caught in a rat trap. I have run out of gossip . As the sun goes down I am out of here. Just remember you did not hear any of this from The Brat

  122. July 21, 2013 at 12:21 pm

    Hey Brat: Well, about Miss Alice, I could hardly believe it either; I took that picture-WOW-and if walls could talk! And did you know that Tim will be gone next week and she will be on her own? Before we left last night, I heard Tim singing the words to an old T.G. Shepherd song, “Older Women Know Just How to Treat A Man”. He said he was going to Wichita; he must have been listening to some of Bob’s tall tales of his hometown and “adventures” back in “THE DAY and YESTERYEAR”? Maybe somebody ought to check out WHY Tim is going to Wichita and what’s gonna be going on at home with Alice!

  123. The Brat
    July 21, 2013 at 10:33 am

    OK, The Brat is back with more TRUE gossip. Miss Alice did not think I was going to tell what I (The Brat) saw with my Two eyes and this is not hear say. I saw Bill rubbing the arms belonging to Miss Alice on the back row. Hum interesting they thought they were hidden back there but I turn around and saw it all , so did every one around her . She was enjoying it to the point I thought she was going to bite him. It you don`t believe what I am saying take a peek at the picture on the internet. If that was not bad enough let tell yall what she did next. She grabbed young boys and was getting down on the dance floor. Poor Bill, I did feel little sorry for him because he almost did not get to dance with her, Poor Lew just want talk about it. So I decided I would try to talk to Miss Alice and get her mind off all these men. I told Miss Alice you are sporting a new pair of DIAMOND earrings and they are beautiful. She said my FRIEND gave them to me. I give up, all I can say is the men just can`t stay away from her. Love you Miss Alice……………………………………………………

  124. The Brat
    July 21, 2013 at 9:47 am

    Hey,Hey,Hey The Brat is back. We missed a lot of our Woodbine friends Saturday night. Some were sick and I hope yall will feel better soon. For the people who just did not come you missed a night of fun a lot of dancing , laughing and whole lot of gossiping going on. I saw a couple of ladies falling in the floor. We hope you did not hurt anything other than your pride. I had a lady approach me and asked me did I see all the women that Wayne was dancing with ? Well now I am puzzled because I don`t know what Wayne she is talking about. All I can say is I hope this Mystery man found who or what he was looking for, or it may have been he just wanted to dance…………This is for Mary , I hope the sore throat will get better soon.

  125. The Brat
    July 16, 2013 at 5:08 am

    I was looking at miss Mary and trying to figure out what was different about her. Was it her hair ? Was it the way she is dressing ? She was sporting a new white jacket witch I may say looked extremely nice on her. Hum interesting ! Well, I can say this much she did have gleam in her eyes. I can yall one thing that I found out. Oh Oh no I can`t tell because I got a secret……………..I wonder did she drink from the water fountain at woodbine ????????? This is The Brat talking at you………………….

    • July 17, 2013 at 6:25 am

      Didn’t I take picture of her and “you know who” by the water fountain, both were smiling; there were about four couples that evening in those photos? Look back and see!!

    • July 19, 2013 at 12:53 pm

    This is for Ronnie, I really do thank you for helping me keep my eyes on Miss Alice, but just between you and I , I do not think Miss Alice is going to tell us the true about this mysterious mystery man. I do believe she has him tucked away somewhere in Ga.

  127. The Brat
    July 8, 2013 at 8:47 am

    I was watching Miss Alice on Saturday night and she is looking real sexy in that purple outfit she was wearing ! Hum interest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder if she is doing the zumba class and we just don`t know it yet. It is hard for me to keep an eye on her during the week because I live in Florida. The people in Ga. can help me keep Miss Alice on straight and narrow path. I do believe Bill and Lou both love to dance with Miss Alice. Beware your man may be next…… I love Miss Alice…

    • Ronnie
      July 12, 2013 at 8:18 pm

      I thought Miss Alice looked real good. I ask her if she had her a fellow she said no and wasn’t looking for one. But I thought I seen a little twinkle in her eye. She is a sweet lady.

  128. The Brat
    July 8, 2013 at 7:59 am

    We the people at Woodbine are keeping our eyes on Wayne and No we are not off your case
    at this time. Can you tell usen why you can not take the night life any more ? We all know how Bobbie do love to rock the house most of the night . Now Wayne you need to Ponder on this for a while. You go party girl.

  129. July 7, 2013 at 7:33 pm

    Thank god for bob, every body is off my case

  130. July 6, 2013 at 11:39 am

    MEN, I just can’t believe “HIS” choice of compliments! I decided to put a couple of low-light streaks in my hair, at home, and it didn’t turn out exactly the way it should have. So when Bob saw it; he said, “Oh, Sweetie, It doesn’t look TOO BAD”! He’s been out in the yard, digging all morning!☺

    • The Brat
      July 6, 2013 at 12:15 pm

      Could you please tell me that Bob is not outside digging up the yard because I know it can`t be Dingo or could it ? Hum interesting. Oh my did you take my advice and bring Dingo in and put Bob outside ? You do have a major problem my friend , we will need to think about this for a bit .

      • July 6, 2013 at 3:49 pm

        Now Brat: It’s enough that Dingo has dug up the yards;and well, yes, putting Bob out would give him time to fill those holes back in. But putting Dingo in; not much of a trade! You should have seen the photos of all my pretty porch dolls, flower baskets and decorations Dingo chewed up that had to be put in the trash. By the way, how are you and Bill doing? Do you have any annoying creatures or dogs?

        • The Brat
          July 8, 2013 at 7:40 am

          I do not have any dogs or annoying creatures. Bill is house and yard trained and the only thing he is chewing up is food . He tells me he eats just encase he might get hungry. I guess this is as bad as it get over here in Florida.

    Hey,Hey,Hey me again, Has anyone heard if Wayne A. has put him-self on a diet ? The reason I am asking I (The Brat) saw Wayne licking cute little Bobbie lips on the dance floor. He told me she was eating something sweet and he was only cleaning her up. Well this is my opinion on this situation , Wayne is craving sweets . Hope ya`ll enjoy this good gossip and for all of you out there in computer land I am running out of true gossip. I need HELP
    Okey-Dokey I (The Brat) am out of here. Stay Safe.

Well I can tell you this much I The Brat do not have time to take care of a little dog more less a big Elephant. It does seam like an awfully large job to do day- in and day- out . May be Bonnie can take a picture of Larry and his new pet and bring it to Woodbine for show and tell .

    Did ya’ll notice last Saturday night at The Opry that Alice was very, very, very quiet. What do you suppose her secret is? As we all know, there are no secrets at The Woodbine Opry, somebody always spills the beans. Who knows about this?

    Hey Hey Hey this is The Brat talking back at you. This is in reference to Miss Alice, I don`t have no earthly idea what is going on with her. I just wonder if Timmy has a new girlfriend and Miss Alice is rebelling ? I do believe Tim is available for all you ladies looking for a good man. He does love his Mama. Hum interesting. Just remember it did not come me……..

  140. June 19, 2013 at 6:40 am

    Hey Brat, I was talking with Alice when she said and her exact words were, “I fell for a man in the street”. That’s when I called you over to hear. Alice needs to explain that, don’t you think?

Well let me tell you I hear it is working Annette. Hum wonder what that is all about ? If anyone knows what is going on inside the Staats household you can tell me I will not tell a soul and you know you can trust me.

    Hey Hey Hey it is me The Brat. I missed some of my friends on Saturday night. I can tell you one thing they did not have as much fun as I did. Ok it is time for some good juicy gossip. Ok ladies we all know George and he is no longer available. Dee is sporting a new shiny ring on her left hand. Hum how about that ?
    Did all of you hear about Miss Alice falling in the street ? Hope she did not hurt herself. As I think back to Saturday night Miss Alice was all hugged up to Bill on the dance floor and I believe I heard her telling him how she love to fast dance better than slow dancing but she could get use to this close stuff real fast…………………Hum, I will need to think about this little. You did not hear this rumor from me.

  144. June 15, 2013 at 3:57 pm

    June 15, 2013 at 1:29 pm

    Rumor alert, this note is for the cute couple. So sorry it did not work out for you. I saw him propose to Dee on Friday night and guess what she said yes. My, My I know their will be no tears because you two guys can be friends now. Please stay away from that ” Woodbine Water”. Beware it will cast a spell on you.

    June 12, 2013 at 11:12 am

    I just heard something that blew my socks off. Bob told me that Annette was feeding his little dog. I guess you did not think I would be talking to Annette. I am so disappointed after hearing the over-sized fib you told me. I know in Bob`s eyes his little doggie can do no wrong, but Annette will tell you no no no the dog is no angel. Let me take this opportunity to say to Bob give up the fight over the dog because you know when it comes down to the end of this race Annette will come in first place. You can not out think your chosen bride. Like it or not this is my story and I am sticking to it………………………………………… Happy Trails & Keep The Music Alive

    If you did not go to the woodbine opry saturday night it was your loss. Let me tell you it was a regular smorgasbord for gossip. If you love a good movie all you had to do is get a bag of popcorn sit back and enjoy the drama . Sorry to see the cute couple was still having a little problem . Give it a little time it will all come out in the wash .
    Did all of the people in the auditorium see Annette put Bob in his place about her money she won ? Sorry Bob , just think of all the Bling-Bling she can buy. I am sure she won`t be buying Dog food. Okey-dokey this is my story and I am sticking to it.

    Did you hear what one of the men said to his wife a couple weeks back about how it looked like she had been shopping for clothing at the old ladies store cause she dressed just like old lady __________ across the auditorium. Buddy, is he in trouble after that one. They left early that evening as I guess he had to get the couch ready for sleeping on.

    So happy to hear Annette is feeling much better about her best friend. It is hard to cope with losing something so close to your heart. I would feel so loss and in a panic myself. You did very well by keeping your cool and having a level head on your shoulder. Keep on shopping.

  154. June 4, 2013 at 6:37 am

    Hi Brat: Thank you for your heartfelt sympathy in the loss of my debit card. I was feeling so depressed; I mean you know how unsafe it is for a woman to be “running around” with too much cash; you can’t remember how much went where. SO there I was, driving to Waycross passing by Cato’s, Maurice’s, Belk’s, the Mall, a gas station; OH that’s when it dawned on me, I only had so much cash on me and I couldn’t go much further without the fuel but what about the SHOPPING? THEN I “brainstormed” (women can do that in times of dilemma) and got excited as I suddenly realized I still had my visa, mc. ae, sp, credit cards. SO I fueled up the car with plastic money, bought a few cute things in those places I had passed by earlier and I still had the cash I left home with-WOW! When the “word” got out Saturday night at the Opry about me losing my best friend, someone asked if it was that dog HE has; it was a man of course, obviously single and uninformed. I mean what’s more important to a woman; money and credit cards or a stupid dog? All is well now that I’ve activated my new debit card. Ha!

    Hey,hey,hey it`s The Brat I am back. I only have one problem I kept going to the Grapevine while I was out of town and did not see any good gossip. I did hear about the loss of Annette`s best friend, hope you are doing ok. Let me tell you about George sporting a new hairdo Saturday night it was soft and fluffy. I wonder what is up with Miss Iris because she did looked amazing Saturday night and just wonder who she has her eye on. Hum interesting. I knew Wayne should have not drank the water at woodbine because him and Bobbi was all huggy. Ok , this is my story and I sticking to it and you did not hear it from me .

There was no doubt in my mine that Annette could handle any situation that may occur concerning Bob. We all know he is just a rough around the edges and all it`s takes is little sandpaper and guess what ? Good as new. Well that is my story and I am sticking to it. Love to all .

    Hey,hey,hey its just me The Brat. I have some more juicy gossip and you did not hear it from me. Did anyone see Bobbie hanging out around that water fountain saturday night ? Well the story is apparently Poor little Wayne was a bit thirsty and ask sweet little Bobbie would she please bring him a little bit of water and she OK . She did and he drank and guess what ? That little cupid is going to be a busy , busy little davil . OK enough for this week that is my story and I am sticking to it………………………………………………………….

  159. April 19, 2013 at 6:49 am

    I really needed to talk to
    someone! I felt so “impugned” about my lack of
    timeliness!

    But, I feel much better now, since Bob had his haircut
    yesterday. When the barber took him back, I
    went with him and watched. As she quickly snipped
    and clipped, then looked for my approval, I nodded
    “that’s good”! You gotta know how Bob is; he does
    not complain until it’s TOO LATE. And all I said
    was “Oh yes, that’s real good, just a little more there
    and back there too”!
    So he has a “little v-notch at the back of his neck,
    and probably won’t need another hair-cut for six
    months; but “it’s no big deal”-RIGHT!
    I worked for the Government and
    I learned how to multi-task, and “time”, well that
    was no big deal either. Thanks Brat!
    See ya’ll Saturday!

    • April 19, 2013 at 6:54 am

      Well, I tried offering her flowers, it seemed to work before, but now she says “no, I don’t like flowers, they’re ugly and they stink.” See what I’m dealilng with! End of my story.

        Bob; I have often heard after people get married they get a little relaxed. Well let me tell you a little secret, at your age you don`t have time to relax. Now you have got to find something that will put the twinkle back into her eyes and make her feel like she is your Love Goddess once again. If it will help you I can tell you she does love a good long day of shopping with her man and if that don`t work she ( and you do know who I am talking about ) has a passion for Bling Bling. Good Luck Bob………………………..From The Brat…………….

        • April 23, 2013 at 6:28 am

          Ms. Brat: Well, Bob was laughing, but now it’s more like a strange smile? What do you
          mean about “Love Goddess”? What are you and Bill reading over there, Harlequin Romance
          Novels? Good Grief is right! By the way, where were you and Bill Saturday night; reading
          more about Love Goddesses??? And since Carol and Lew put their two cents in this news, they
          were missing also Saturday; no doubt Lew is recovering from the shock of all this behavior!

As far as the Love Goddess goes I was trying to help you girl , trying to get his mind off of being late. Hope it is working for you. As far as it goes with Bill ,he don`t have time to read . The only thing he is reading is a menu for lunch or dinner or both. Keep up the good rumors and keep it clean. Love you all ………………………….The Brat…………………

      Annette and Bob,
      Welcome to the real world of being married!! It’s really a simple thing. Bob if you need to leave at 5;30 ask your sweetie to be ready by 5, no later than 5;15 that give you a little bit of time for the last min. deatails…..Like oh heck I can’t find my other ear ring , such as that happens all the time or it dose around here , why I do that to myself, and sometimes it works, Lew will ask me why I’m rushing around so much and I reply We need to leave at 5 , He replys WHY?? So see it works for me!!
      Now missie we can’t let you off the hook tooo easy, I say let him get the hair cut all by himself that way you have nothing to do with that notch, I ONCE cut Chuck’s :{my husbands } hair……..never was ask to do that again!!!
      I personaly don’t think you two have any thing that a little glass of wine out in the moonlight wont fix.!
      I love you all and will be there tomorrow night ready to FLIT AROUND ,as Lew says and visit with my wonderful friends at The Woodbine Opry untill the show starts.

    Good GOLLY MISS MOLLY , As the nice ladies from HE HAW SAID “w e don”t go round reapting gossip,so you better be sure and listen close the first time”.
    Now this rumor about Miss ” A ” Has Lew in utter dismay, why I have spent untole hours patting his hand and going ” There there Dear it’ll be o.k.” It was bad enough when we heard she had ” Callers” out at her place..I calmed him a little, told him he should be happy she had someone to talk to and such..His replay was The taking parts o.k. It’s the such that bothered him, Just untill hhe had time to check em out any way. Next we hear there may be more than one…so the question is how many??? More than one but less than twenty??? I do declare the man is beside himself, as for me I say ‘You go Miss A.”
    Now about the so called disagreement amoughstest a certain couple we all hold dear to our heart no names ,you know who you are I only have one thing to say “NOW DON’T YALL FEEL FOOLISH”hah
    In replay to the Brat thank you .I AM one blessed woman.

    To Lois Lane: the question of your “alleged fall” was simply the perception of what Joe, aka/our talented drummer/ thought had happened. Now, after taking in all the facts, I do recall seeing Joe coming from the direction of the water fountain at the end of the hallway.? That may have “distorted” his thinking. I mean, who would have known that you were just crawling down there looking for my camera battery. While Joe was still looking in the direction of your “incident”, another “guest” musician came walking by us; he heard a little of this, and totally ignored the conversation, fancy that? He probably heard about that water fountain too, but then again, he also came from that direction. Bob says all these stories and curiosities are GOOD FOR BUSINESS! See ya’ll this evening.

    • Lois Lane
      March 30, 2013 at 2:19 pm

      Have the musicians not heard about the “water fountain”? It does crazy things to people. Some that have used it are getting married. I’m staying away. By the way, my therapist said that was good exercise for me and was proud that I didn’t need any help. I did notice that no one asked me if they could help except you. I know Bob would have helped if he’s seen me. I’m sure it was a pretty site. Ha! See you tonight!!!

      Well, I also noticed Alice being “fixy” Oh, I know; I’ll ask Beverly who sits back there with her. I guess you know that there was some “romancing” with her also. Guess she got into that water fountain too! , UPDATE: two weeks ago, Beverly told us, it was too soon and the plans were off. We don’t want to lose our Woodbine Friend and that romance would have moved her away from Woodbine.
      I’m glad she will be staying with us!

      Hey Ms. Brat: I really see what you mean about Miss Alice being all fixed up? Did you see her pretty puffy purple blouse and red earrings; and the new hair-do this past Saturday? And FYI,
      I overheard her say there was a MAN at her house. When I asked her about it, she started
      giggling! Look at the blog and see her picture; she’s grinning like a Cheshire cat! Surely, someone else heard more?? Do you suppose she got into the water fountain too?

Now for the good juicy gossip at the end of the night we were all dancing in the circle and Bill and Vera was dancing in the middle when all of a sudden she sat down in the floor. Well I do believe she did it so gracefully, better than I could have done. OK that is my story and I am sticking to it……….Love you All The Brat….

Now that is funny; cause I know the answer and that woman will laugh when she hears what some others? thought she was doing? I did have to help her up. Is all this good physical therapy, or not!

    I saw Chris sitting with a new man. He was a nice looking man. Does this man have a name ? Chris sure did look happy on the dance floor. I am happy for her.

    Boy, could we use a bigger dance floor because we all felt like sardines packed in a can. At times I felt like I was stuck on a rolling pin. Oh well I must like it because I keep coming back for more.

        The Brat said, “she may have nightmares”! I’ll told her I’d let her borrow those green-black striped things for Halloween, if she”d like! Did any of ya’ll see what she’s talking about-look for her comment under the website’s photos of us. Yes, there’s another place for comments, under photobucket’s photos/videos; if you see a number (1) by a photo, read comments below it!

      Yes, Mr. Pittman did enjoy his time at The Woodbine Opry. We will miss him.

    Ms. Brat: You are correct about Delores and Bobby. Check out their picture on the website with the ring.
    But that was this past Saturday night! You have missed the Opry Friend before this one. Cupid struck another friend who sits in the back next to the sound booth. She’s making plans also! Ask her and give me the latest details. Inquiring minds want to know!

    I don`t think it is cupid. I think it is in the water . Beware when drinking the water at Woodbine on Saturday night. I did see Delores sporting a new Ring on her finger on the left hand. Congratulation to the happy couple.

      The Brat :
      Thanks for the update on the man by the name of John. Welcome back John and keep on dancing.

        You might want to tell your friends about the water fountain in the hallway and the stories attributed to drinking from it!!!

    Hey Ya’ll: With Valentine just passing through, “rumor” has it that cupid has struck again with one of our Saturday night friends. Anybody out there know anything about this? Inquiring minds want to know!

    About the seat saving, I think it’s good to bring a halt to it as it was being badly abused by a couple of women. I would see them saving seats all over the auditorium and not for someone that was coming to sit with them. I believe there is a difference, but, as is always the case, a few ruin it for the rest.

    We always enjoy the program; keep up the good work.

    No gossip or rumors, just wanted to say I had a great time Saturday night and the band and
    the guest singer was awesome! The music is always great. Good going guys!!!
