Geeezzzz,,,What to Say?
Since taking off the word verification i AM getting lots more spam in my email.. is this just a coincidence, or,,,a fact of ,,blogging? I put my settings on Google to the private one and i've noticed that i don't see things pop up everywhere i go, about where i've been.
DDs got pics of his swamp on there today. Love that place, and kinda wonder why he would ever go anywhere else... lololol.
It's been so hard to make myself walk lately. I do, but it sure is hard. I think maybe it's the lack of sleep, like, last nite, i didn't go to sleep til after 2 AM, then i was up a couple of times, so thirsty i had to have a drink, which i keep a bottle of water in the bathroom. Tried keeping it by the bed, but then, would have to get up any way, to pee, even tho that's not the reason i wake up. On the walks, i'm having to sit down more along the way. Darn time change! Shouldn't even affect me. Sooo tired.
Austin is having the SXSW stuff going on now. Zillions of people are there, techs, films, music. And i've been told, the bluebonnets are out in force on some highways.
After they bloom and start fading out, they have their seed pods all over them.. They dry out and get to the point where they literally, explode. They sling seeds out to maybe 20 feet. So if you gather up pods, keep them in paper bags,,,lol. And if you're on the side of the highway, watch for those rattlesnakes! Those seeds can lay there for years, and when the right weather conditions happen, they will grow. Sometimes it can be 10 years or so, between the whole countryside blooming out. I think this year is one of those, will get pics.
We set the high temp yesterday, in the nation! 88*. Knew it was too darn hot.
Think i'll take a nap,,,yall tc, and

No Tolerance For Screaming Kids
Big story today about a family being kicked off a plane,,hahahaha,, because of a 2 yr old having a tantrum. WOOOHOOO. Good for them! Kids don't behave, leave em at home. I did. I didn't take them out with us til they could and they knew it. Lol, my son was the only one that had to be about 6 or so,,,hahahaha,,,If i had had to ride with that kid, i would have wanted a refund!
I was telling Gypsy about the time i bought this house, and had to work on it for 4 or 5 months before i could move in. That was after i got home from work, and on week ends. Mom was there waiting every day, lol, and a lot of times, i wouldn't have done anything, but,, there she was, ready to go. Well, one week end,,i was so tired, and had so much painting to do, and heard someone drive up. When i looked out i almost cried. It was my bro B and SnL K,,and their oldest, ready to go, paint rollers, brushes in hand. You just can't believe how much they can do in just a little time. The next day, i was in one of the rooms and there was a white cricket walking across the floor!,,, K didn't slow down, she just painted it!! LMAOOO. And even now,,,all these years later, i stilll have to LMAO. All my family helped at some time or another. That's what families are. (Used to be). I had a moving party,,,lol,,had 4 or 5 pickups show up and a lot of help. I had everything ready, so it didn't take long. Had hot dogs, with pork and beans, and chips. Had to go back the next morning and dig in the trash for my tv remote,,used an old trash can to hold stuff like that. But it was right there in the first one. Had all my frozen stuff in a black bag, and my nephew emptied my ash trays in it...HAHAHAHAHA,,had to wash off everything. But, they got me moved in record time. And we had fun all the way.
G just came by and said he was going up to his get away, about an hour from here. I might ride up there the next day or 2. They bought a 100 acres up there on the rocks. lol,,Close to Menard. Rocks and cactus. He likes to get out and shred that stuff.
Like DD, nothing to say, so yall tc, and

Remains
I guess they’re finding something on that fish skeleton. That’s the one the girl left laying.
Guess it’s gonna be kinda hot today, with that sun out.
Found out late yesterday, there was another get together for my son’s birthday,,catching the ones that had misunderstood the date. Went to a mexican food restaurant in Kingsland, and it was soooo good. There were 12 of us,,and in that small place it was a lot! Lots of people waiting to get tables. Someone had called ahead so they had ours ready,,,sorta,,lol,,had to add another one, which a couple nearby was so kind as to move and let us have that one. Tried to buy them drinks, but they already had their tea and water. Son still had the folder full of pics I had taken the last time, showing them. He’s going to put them all into his puter. I ordered a chili relleno* plate and it was out of this world! And all I could get down was just a small bit. Have the rest to eat on today,,,yeaaaa. This place is more authentic than most. Their fajitas looked fabulous, especially the shrimp ones. Cooked with lots of onion. Yummmm. Everybody hungry? Know where I’M going when I want mexican food. Got back by 8 and watched a movie. Did I tell yall I watched one on Fri, and it ended before 10, and I was letting the tape run,,wellll,,,I got into Seabiscuit and had to watch the whole thing! A great movie.
I hate this time change right now. I just ate breakfast and it’s 1:25. Not good. Haven’t even done dishes yet. Let alone get dressed.
Spent too much time trying to sign up to pay my Atmos bill by draft. After all of that, it told me I had to call tomorrow!!! Used to do online banking but then the bank started charging for it,,so bye bye. I have free checking now, and when my son asked, I told him my bank. No bank charges at all, and no minimum balance. Moved from the bank I had done business with all my life cause of that.
His gf found a job with the school system last week, and will be starting on the 19th. She works with disabled, mentally, and is super at it. I could never have done that. Now, working with seniors was my thing. Loved it. They have lived twin lives, she in CA, him here, and never knew it. Done the same things, like the same things,,,it’s amazing. She was born here, and was his gf in the 5th grade,,,lolololol. She left when she was 15, and they had never seen each other, nor talked from that time, til she came back. I hear wedding bells,,,lolololol. We all love her tooooo.
Guess I’m gonna see what I can get done before the DAY is gone. So yall tc, and

Ruined!
Heard a truck pull in next door about 9 am,,, turned out it was bringing a metal storage shed to him. )(*&*Y^#!$$%$ Put it where all i see when i look out is THAT!!! Really pisses me off! And to be fair, it's the perfect place from his point of view, but,,,mercy. Sure not what i want to see when i look out. I never saw his house, just the view behind it on up the hill. If i sit in the other room at the desk top, i can see great, including his house AND ALL. Just might have to do that. It's cold in there, or hot, depending on the season,,,
The day after i had seen that girl with the fish, when i went out there, there was a hawk and a buzzard there with it. Before i could get the camera out and up, they flew off. The next day, there were 3 or 4 buzzards, still eating on the carcass. Got that, but not going out to the car to get my camera, but will post it later.
I just glanced over by the stuff on my table and saw my utility bill,,,NOT PAID! I've never paid one late. OMG... Looked, and it is due by the 15th, not the 10th, like it used to be. It somehow got behind some other stuff, and moving one, made it visable! lolololol. In all my life, i've never paid bills late. Don't want that kind of a first. lolol. The check is dated the 3rd.
I changed 2 clocks already,,,one in the bedroom, the other on my coffee pot..with the coffee pot the MOST important. Got up yesterday and had an empty pot,,guess i forgot,,,lol, to push that button. How i can do that, i don't know, but,,,i can.
Time to go play, yall tc, and

Llano County Journal - Council discusses closing of Salem Street
Looks like we made the front page,,,,lololol. Got em all stirred up,,,hehehe, just what we wanted. Now we'll see what happens. That pompous mayor needs to GO. He kept speaking over others, trying to defend his earlier actions. We need to find something legal on this, so if anybody has a way to do this, let me know. We found a lot but need all we can get.
Tffnguy, i won't comment on your blogs cause of the double word thang. Can't read em, and you have to keep going back over and over, so ,,,,i just comment here. To change that, go here:,,design, settings, comments, down to word verification, say no. Keep us up to date on your cabin.
To share that article at the top, it put me on IE, so i'm hoping for the best.
On the tv weather, it's still not showing us, so,,,,not fixed yet out at the airport. Some day,,,,,,
BB talking about fried chicken, and i'm seeing a commercial showing some deeelicious fried chicken,,,making me hungry. If i could get some like that,,, Our new place is so so. Sometimes it's ,,uh,,ok, then others, not. Makes me not wanna ever get any of it.
Gosh, it's pouring down,,,woooohoooo. Sitting here by my back storm door,,looking out. Love it. Cold or not. lol.
Might get back here later. Yall tc, and

Not Much Today
There were some baby turtles on that rock, first time I had seen them.
My Mountain Laurel starting to bloom, I’ve seen others that are bloomed out fully. You can see the yellow irises behind it. I have a huge old wisteria to the left but it hasn’t done anything yet. I have seen some Martins last week, over in the next block, and then some here on the corner of my yard. When my bro B and I put up their house, he was putting his tools back in his truck when 2 landed on the top. They had been watching, lol. They nested there, and have been back every year with their young. They drive the sparrows off. The house is falling apart, and the way it’s put up, can’t take it down. I think they will still use it tho.
I don’t know why, but I didn’t go to sleep til after 4 last nite. Well, one thing was my feet. Burning. Then my phone woke me up at 8;30. Just might take a nap today, lol.
I put facebook back on this, but you know,,I just don’t see the use of it. lololol. I glance in every once in a while, but wth is it about? I just don’t get it. Peoples wanting to put me on friends,,,I don’t even know. And why talk to family when we have phones? lololol,,,And most of us live here. I forget about it, but sometimes I look in. I guess it’s the only way I can ever communicate with my g/dotter. Never see her or hear from her…Hate it, what “family” has become. “Family” has no meaning any more. Well, just a few of us.
Been putting off that shower long enough,,yall tc, and
HAGD
PS,,put that weather thingy back on, thot the airport thingy was fixed, but guess not. Just gonna leave it, someday,,,,,

Strange Happenings
I'm so way behind today, slept til 9/30, after waking up at 7/30. But,,so what? lol.
When the lady brought my prescription, i remembered it was Wed. I did walk yesterday, in that horrible wind. It was still howling last nite when i went to bed. March winds,,etc,,
G came by and we both thot we presented our side well, and,,we did our best. With the AH mayor mouthing off the whole time, we are hoping the council members won't pay him any mind. I know our friend doesn't,,,lol,,,she does NOT let him run over her. He doesn't have a vote anyway, except to break a tie.
I made it out to the park yesterday, (my walk), and this girl got out to fish. In a bit, she caught a good sized one, couldn't tell what it was from where i was, but then, she did a strange thing. She had it on the ground to take off the hook, and when she got that done, she laid that fish behind the rock she was sitting on, on the ground, and just left it! I have never seen that done, ever! It was about a foot long, and i could see it flop once in a while. Really strange! I think i'll ask her if i ever see her again,,lol. I was there about 30 more minutes and she didn't catch anything else, TG!, but didn't do anything with that one either. Don't know where those geese are hanging out, haven't seen them for a few days, and the little black ones were way down from me in the river. I take my current book and read. Just like being out of the house a bit during the day. And what's better than nature? Saw a strange bird, all black. Need to start carrying my bird book too. Been seeing lots of buzzards circling, they do that when they migrate. They just kinda float around in circles by the river,,,,Red tailed hawks do it too. By the hundreds.
Well, adios, amigos,,amigas. yall tc, and
