Only thing i seem to know today is it's over the hump day again,,seems those show up way too fast. Also, the heat is here. I had to stop at the grocery for a couple of things, and i was sick at my stomach by the time i got back home, unloaded, and could just sit down again.
I bought a whole chicken,,lol, after all that talking about chicken, etc. Now i'm not sure how i want to cook it, boil or roast. I have that little contraption that you can cook beer can chicken on, but NOT gonna use the large oven. Paula what's her name,,called it beer in the rear chicken. (O yeah, Dean) I have a convection oven, probably will use that. I also bought a bag of 16 bean soup mix,,that will go into the crock pot tonite. Sound good? Did to me. Gonna try to eat lots of protein, low carbs.
Guess i should mention,, after the comments yesterday,,i do shop at Walmart, not much choice. I have no complaints about food stuff, just appliances, etc. And I like the idea of all in one place. And i will also say, no matter where you get anything, it might not last any longer either. The 19" tv i bought for this room, had a loose connection there where you hook up the cable, and i didn't know it til the warranty was gone,,of course. I have to wiggle it when the pic gets all snowy. The volume doesn't work right either. Goes up to a certain point and no more. Don't buy an Emerson,,,lol. I sure won't any more. Who said it?,,You get what you pay for. I'm a cheap ol lady,,,gotta be on what i have to live on,,,
I got my sprayer out this morning when i went out for the paper,,,but haven't gone back out and sprayed those burr weeds. It was so hot there, East side, that i put it off. I will get it done today. Just stopped right there and went out and did it, and yeah, i'm hot...
To do my "get outa the house time" now, not sure what i'll do. Just about too hot to even sit in a shade and read, watch wild life. Maybe take short rides, gas has gone down. 3.45 yesterday. I still have to factor that in on anything i do, like my trip to Walmart, cost me almost 15.00,,,see what i mean?
I just saw Nancy Reagan on tv, OMG,,didn't know she was still alive! And she was walking with someone. Holding their arm, but,,geez.
I have thrown out 3 or 4 of those darned beetles since yesterday! Did i tell you, i stepped on one one nite, barefooted,,yukkkk. Wasn't on the carpet to pad it, either.
I have high hopes for my Idol guy, Phillip,,, That Jessica has the vocals, BUT, he has that,,something. He will never have another moment of peace, win or lose. I just kept hitting redial last nite, voting for him. Even at my advanced years, i could almost swoon,,lolololol. Do you ever get too old? hahahahaha.
Ok,,yall tc, and

Guess The Heat Hasn't Forgotten Us
Gosh, thot we might make it til June, before that heat did. That's what you get for wishful thinking.
I sure liked Hermit Jim's post about ice cream. Makes me remember something i should always,,listen to your body. When it starts craving, there's a reason. I craved ice cream for quite a while, and now, it's gone. Now,,coffee is a different story. Gotta have that just to open my eyes in the mornings,,, I've always had to laugh at SSs coffee, a cup of milk with a dollop of coffee.
I've got this big wall clock laying here on the table, going to the trash today. Bought it at Walmart,,enough said. Just a few months ago. Can't make it even squeak now. I could fill this whole page with stuff like that. But there's not much choice on where to buy things around here. Way back when my dotter was a teen, she got a clock in Austin, had BIG red numbers, and developed a hum after a while. There were little lites that went around full circle for the minutes. Well,,years and years later,,,i find one just like it at a garage sale and buy it,,has the same hum,,,lolololol. Bro B keeps saying it has to be the same one,,hers,,because how would this OLD woman have come up with this far out clock? Well, dotter went out in her store room and found hers just to prove it was, indeed, 2 of them. I had to take mine apart and fix it once, and i could put something between the workings and the face and stop the hum, but it wouldn't last. That, those, clocks just liked to sing.., Well, i brought hers up here and took it apart, too, but it had a nylon gear with too many teeth gone to fix. Later, mine did the same..
Worst thing from Walmart was a push mower that the blade just broke off on one half of it while i was mowing! Buried itself in the ground. It broke just to one side of the middle!! Then one came apart one time because none of the bolts had been tightened. That was when you just put the handle on, these were all the others on it, just flew apart.
Got distracted so i'm outa here, tc, and

Love Being Retired,,,On Mondays,,,lol
Well,, i did remember the eclipse, but didn't see the whole thing. Got to see like 3/4 before it got too low. Then i looked on Youtube and there wasn't anything good of it. I was looking out my window. I had tried that cardboard with a pin hole, didn't work, so,,i decided if i saw it at all, would be just glancing out my window. I think my location just showed that much of it anyway.
HEYYYY, the geese are back!!!,,,No babies tho :(. They are all there. I just drove thru there yesterday, and they act like they never left. Don't know if something got the little ones or what, but figure that's what happened.
I turned my ACs back on yesterday, probably til fall, now. Well, i rotate them daily. Pays off too,,,on my utility bill. Even my dotter is running a window ac, and not the central. Felt just fine too. The only thing i hate about running them is this one in the dining room, runs all the time,,no way to set it to cut off when not cooling. So i have that noise all the time.
My son stopped by for a few minutes yesterday and said everywhere he went, everybody was grinning ear to ear. Had heard about his drive. I'm not sure that ticket will matter on his insurance. It was for improper take off.
I forgot to watch the Preakness, but that darn horse did the same thing he had done in the Derby! UNREAL. And here i am, can't remember the name,,,lolollolol. Not even sure if Preakness is correct, so anyway, the same horse has won 2,,,by coming from way behind on the stretch and passing everything! Makes me have chills to watch it. SOOOOO COOOL. I never was into horse races except back when my friends had one, and he ran like that too.,,,Then he came up dead one day, in his stall. It was his first year. They always thot someone poisoned him even tho the autopsy didn't show anything. And i know autopsy isn't right, for a horse, but,,don't know the right one.
Ok, that's my story and i'm sticking to it,,,yall tc, and

I think i found out why my eml files won't open now. They're from OE which i don't have any more, and win 7 won't do them. Don't know if there's a fix to this or not. I was supposed to transfer from OE to Win Live Mail, while i still had it. Now, who knew that? I sure didn't. Maybe i can get a tech sometime and check it out. Supposed to be a chat help online. Not gonna get into it now tho. And all i was wanting to do was to put one on here,,,how to give a cat a bath. One of the best of all. Sooo, if anybody has that, please send it to me.
The bbq was great! B cooked some steaks and pork chops, but those chops were MY choice. Had lots of sides. I got full too fast,,,lololol. wanted more. There was washer tournys too. Then all the younger ones went down to the river. I got home just before dark. Was a great time.
This new neighbor next door has this long greasy hair,,,well, he did. (And there's nothing wrong with long hair, if it's taken care of) I heard all this yelling yesterday, thot they were fighting, but,,,he had managed to get that hair hung in a pulley or something on his trailer. It had rolled it up to his head. And there he stood, bent over with his head against it. One woman came out with scissors, and couldn't get it done, then the other one tried, no luck. They called EMS, so the ambulance, fire trucks, cops, all showed up. One of the ems finally got the hair cut loose. Was a lot gone. lmao. When i left to go to Ns, he was sitting on the back porch getting the rest cut off. That whole group is weird. I don't associate.
DD was talking about how he liked to talk to people. I've always loved to hear the stories from the older generations. Like, my x father in law,,lived like a hermit out on the ranch, but how i wish i had recorded the stories he told. This is just one,,,,The first settlers settled there, where this ranch is, and of course, there were Indians that would raid their crops, livestock, etc. The Indians would leave for the winter season and go South. Comanches, i think. One year, there were no crops, so there was no food for the winter coming up. The Indians loaded up and left. BUT,,they came back with food for the settlers to last them thru the winter! On a bank of the creek there were still prints of where the tepees had been. There is still an old cemetery, surrounded with an old iron fence, a log cabin, and out in a pasture, 2 granite grave stones, one with German names and dates. There's also a family cemetery too. The man that my son took for the ride in the GTO owns that now. It's on the river of course. There were lots of stories about the fil too,,,lololol,,like,,he would get on his tractor and come to town to go to the bars.
I think a nap is calling,,so yall tc, and

My Travels,,,lol
On a ranch about 9 miles E of town.
The only ones I know are the red/white faced ones are herefords. Don’t know the black or the white ones. (2 of the white). They always have them separated like this too. I went past them and turned around and went back to get the pics. Had meant to do it a lot of times, just never had. I’ll try to get a pic of the oreo ones out W of town… Maybe today. Going out that way to Ns for the bbq. IF I can cross the slab, might have to use the other road.
I did get that dreaded trip to Walmart over with. Just got in the car and did it. I picked up this 2 bowl set, big ones, with lids that I’ve needed for a long time, and later, way over in the grocery part, I found this set of 6!!! with lids for the same price. A whole rack of them, why there I don’t know, but yeah, I put the other one there and got the 6 pc set. Now I wish I had gotten a couple of more for gifts,,,at 4.50 a set.
Got back about 6;30 and J had a couple of his cars up at Inman’s Kitchen for a car show, so I went by there, just barely caught some of the Blue Grass music before they quit. BUT,,I did get my laugh for the month,,, J took this man for a ride in his 72 GTO, and I left too. In a minute I’m hearing,,an older model yellow car is doing donuts in front of Coopers,,(was Inmans) then,,,(I’m dialing my phone) reading off classic car plates,,,ooo no,,,he’s not answering,,, have him at the city limits,,,almost hit this van when he took off at the light, went sideways,,,etc,,, (didn’t,,the tracks were straight for about 40 yards,,) I went back and waited at Inmans. They finally show up, and I have to start laughing,,they were too. The van was being driven by an off duty cop,,,hahahahaha. (who’d a thot?) So his friend,,the one on duty,,kinda had to give him a ticket,,for improper take off, with the other one standing there. Couldn’t get his speed,,(over 100 just for a sec.) He told her to come by after she got off and take it for a drive,,she said,,oooo noo way. lolololol Made that man’s day,,,hahahaha
This is the rain gauge I’ve wanted forever. Had one out there when I moved here, but the holder thingys broke, and the stump disappeared. Now,,bring on that rain! And I don’t know where it is now.
My mower man came by and mowed today. Maybe it will last a while. Well, that means heat,,sooo, hope NOT. I need to spray some more round up,,got some more of those burr things that are horrible. Stick in the bottom of your shoes, get all in the house. They just showed up around here a few years ago. Have little purple flowers,,don’t know what they are. The burrs come apart when they dry out.
Hey,,,it’s noon, better do ,,uh,,,ummm,,well,,,something,, yall tc, and

Dum de Dum de..............
Got nothing to say today either. Slept really late, 9:30, so i'm way behind. Just got the shower, and dishes done. I needed to go to Marble Falls, BUT, not gonna. Can't go tomorrow, it's a bbq out at sis Ns house. Her dotter's graduation party. She graduates on the 25th, and is leaving the 26th to go to Houston, stay with her dad til her school starts. It's a 2 year school, but don't ask me the name, kinda a prep for later, college. She wants to find a summer job. Gonna leave N all alone,,lol. Big change.
Reading MsBs blog today, i had to laugh,,sry,,,,She saw this little something in her laundry? house, thot it could be a snake. In case yall don't know it,,,a cat will darn sure let you know if there's a snake around. They smell GOOD! and a snake smells. Their hair will stand straight out, and they'll be sniffing,,backing up,,crouching and running away. I saw mine do that and i did look, just didn't move that stuff in the corner,,,where the rattlesnake was. That was in my laundry room too, just inside the back door, so i spent a whole nite with that thing in my house. Somewhere back in one of my blogs, i told this. Wellll, maybe i didn't,,,can't find it. I found it the next day, in the living room. We both froze, and i almost picked it up, but there was just something about those black stripes on it's tail that made me hesitate. Later bro B told me the diamonds don't show up til they're about 2 years old. There was nothing close i could grab, then it ran under my chair, so i flipped it over, and it went into a corner and curled up. I finally could reach one of those long lighter things on the mantel, so i squished it's head. Raked it into a trash can and took it out. It was about 18" long and just had a button.
My son J got a call once, from a wrecking yard here, that he had found a baby rattler. J went to get it, and it was maybe 12" long, and had swallowed a mouse, and couldn't move. Back then, he didn't have a camera like now, so he didn't even think about taking a pic before he skinned it out. Said it took forever, it was so small. About the size of a pencil.
OK enough about snakes,,,lololol. And all i wanted to say was,,,cats make good guards. hahaahaha. Jude was sniffing and looking under my sofa one time, so i moved it,,(see, i learned) and there was that gopher that the other one had let get away. Well, Jude took off running, the coward. Didn't say anything about protecting you, just alerting.....lmao Had this little mouse in here one time, and Jude always showed me where it was, under the fridge mostly, and he would try to catch that. But when i caught 2 on sticky paper, he ran. hahahahaha.
Ever had a cat get on that? hahahaha ,,,I did one time, knew exactly what she had done when i heard this gawdawful commotion going on. Finally caught up with her on top of a chest of drawers, and used the oil to get it off. Was sure glad J had told me about that. Who reads directions? In case yall need to know, that paper WORKS! And i did have it behind something,,,she was just snooping.
Wow, 1 pm,,gonna be a short day, and yeaaaaaaa,,, Phillip made the cut last nite on Idol. The other 2 do have the voices, but,,,he has that special X factor,,looks like a young Steve McQueen too.
