I just wanted to say hello to all of you...I just read the message board and it is so wonderful to hear from my friends... I miss all of you and it just warms my heart to hear from you...I truly miss my friends in Branson and was so proud to be inducted into the Missouri Hall of Fame...We all had a great time that day...I have been traveling quite a bit and thoroughly enjoying the crowds...Jim Ed and I sold out both nights when we went to Rockford, Il., and then Wisc. Dells...the crowds were so responsive.....the sound was good, and it just made us happy singing...I just returned Sunday night from the Royal River Casino in Flandreau, SD...that was a Country Gold show and again, two sold out performances...We had a great time with Rex Allen, Jr., Jimmy Fortune, and Leroy and Gladys Van Dyke...all wonderful people to work with and hang out with...I even won a little bit in the casino. I will probably head over the 4th holiday weekend to see my little grandbaby, Ross James Cornelius who is now 13 months old...I have friends wanting me to come and visit for a few days, too, so I will probably make my rounds. I am getting the CD together that was the MCA-DOT album of several years ago....Hopefully all of you do not have it and will enjoy some of the songs on a new CD. I am so proud of my website and how perfect Susan makes it look...She works hard and truly does a great job.  I must confess to not spending as much time on the Internet as I used to, and I don't check my messages as much as I used to...I guess I am getting settled here in Nashville and spending more time on other things. Thanks for visiting my website and supporting me in my love of singing...Please stay in touch and love to all...Helen ...June 28, 2005
