The Raggedy Man
by James Whitcomb Riley

O the Raggedy Man! He works fer Pa;
An' he's the goodest man ever you saw!
He comes to our house every day,
An' waters the horses, an' feeds 'em hay;
An' he opens the shed -- an' we all ist laugh
When he drives out our little old wobble-ly calf;
An' nen -- ef our hired girl says he can --
He milks the cow fer 'Lizabuth Ann. --
Ain't he a' awful good Raggedy Man?
Raggedy! Raggedy! Raggedy Man!

July 4 Weekend Family Reunion

Read the latest updates at Finley/Shoemaker Family Reunion 2009! We are finalizing plans for the family reunion in Ashland, Ohio, for the weekend of July 3-5, 2009. We really hope everyone can come for more family fun and games!

If you have not contacted Red and Judy at dave.shoemaker@americraft.com, then do so now. We need an accurate count of people to help us in planning food and lodging.

Red and Judy are our homebase in Ashland and will help everyone coming from out of town make arrangements for lodging, as they did last time.
