Actually,,,it’s July 4th,,2012
Just about all empty now.
My favorite aunt passed away last nite. She was the last of my Dad’s 7 siblings. I can’t feel too bad because of the shape she was in…I just can’t help but feel I’m glad it’s over for her. It’s sad too, not having her any more.
Got a text from g/dotter saying they’re cooking a brisket, come and hang out. So in a few minutes I’m going out there. Waiting on a load of laundry to dry, then I’m outa here.
I’m gonna be gone tomorrow, driving my son to San Antonio again. He had a bad episode Friday that I just found out about, and couldn’t stand or walk. When he talked to the doc on Monday was told to come Thursday. These will be the shots he’s needed the last few times. The only place the doc will do them, is in SA office. He will use local anesthetic. I’m hoping and praying these will get him by until he can get some medical coverage. The doc told him he could just do these every 2 months.
OK,,gone,,but yall tc, and

Full Moon Tonite
Hey,,how are you today? I'm good,,thx..
Stopped by friend S yesterday, and somehow the word "salad" came up. I told her i was craving a chef salad, and before i knew it, she was handing me all this stuff to make one,,like, boiled eggs, some ham, tomatoes. I had to get lettuce and some dressing,,(yeah, dressing,,1 carb per serving) and when i got home, i chopped up this big bowl half full. Now,,i didn't go overboard and get some garlic bread, made myself have crackers with it. Was just right! Couldn't eat but half of it, so i have more today. Plus,, i just boiled some eggs too. Eating high on the hog,,,lol.
Long time ago, when i had teen age boys, maybe their friends too, i'd make BIG bowls of chef salad for supper sometimes. The reason i bring this up, is cause they had never eaten salads before and when i made myself one, they said they'd like to have one too. Never mind i had to have a bottle of salad dressing, ranch, for each...lolololol., So,,every once in a while, that's what we'd have... Amazing, to get them to eat green. Oops,,i used to make that dressing by the quarts. I got the mix and added the buttermilk. By then, it didn't make them gag to hear that word,,buttermilk. They had found out that's what i had used for years for batter for frying.
Somewhere along the way, i figured out i could buy a lb of ready to cook shrimp, batter it up, deep fry it, and have a HUGE platter of it. 4 of us couldn't eat all of it. That sure beat buying it at the sea food market in Austin, cleaning all those stinky things, then cooking them. Took hours to do that. I even had that little tool to devein with.
Can you tell what's on my mind? If you said,,,FOOD, you're right....
On MysticMud's blog today, she's talking about minding your own business. Especially in the South. Well,,i can do that just so far, but,,,like her, when i see an animal or person being abused,,i can't stand it. When i lived in the last house before this one,,i was out one day watering and the pit bulls behind me, kept barking and whining. When i got closer with my hose,,all that water,,,i was horrified to see they didn't have any! It was so hot that day too. Here they were, seeing all that water, and they had none. First thing i did was go over with the hose and put some in their bucket, but no one was home. I tried calling the boy's family and even got in my car and went by their house and still couldn't find anybody. So i ended up calling the animal control. By then the dogs were my best friends...lol. You can tell around here, whoever has those pit bulls are druggies. The boy was selling there, i would see it at all nite hours,,quick stops...lol. He did fix their water buckets so they wouldn't turn over.
OMG,, just remembered something. At that place. One morning i got up and went out for the paper, and there was something floating in my pond. Furry. When i went back out later, found out it was a dog. I had never seen it before. I got a shovel and a trash bag and loaded it up, took it out to a road side park and dumped it in the trash container there. It was a short legged dog, and i think it fell in, then couldn't get out.
Did i ever tell you about dumping about a 5 foot chicken snake in the trash container at home? Guess when the men picked it up and dumped it out, musta almost had a heart attack. THEY LEFT IT!! Still lmao about that. Gal's gotta have a little fun,,,don't we? I had already terrorized my 2 siamese with it for hours, laughed til i hurt. When i carried it in past my female, her back bowed up, hair stood straight out, and her tail looked like a bottle brush...hahahahaha. So you can imagine how they reacted with it laying in the floor still moving sometimes....
I can NOT believe my friend S and another went to see Magic Mike and didn't call me!! It was in Marble Falls. She said if they could find an excuse to go back,,she'd call....lol. She was laughing about all the old women there in wheel chairs, on walkers,,hhahahaahaha...

$Store Trip Today
Gonna be short,,,AAAAgain,,, Going to the $Store this morning while it's cool.
Gosh, i'm almost out of movies, so today i found 3 to record, on Lifetime. Sssh,,,you guys,,i can hear you. Tonight has America's Got Talent til 10, so i won't need one for tonite.
I need to change my sheets, but,,,might or not. Been putting it off too long already. If i strip the bed, i have to do it sometime today. That's the way i usually do it. Years ago, i would take the sheets off a king size bed, wash em and put em back on,,,hated to fold those things. Don't do that with this queen tho.
Got my dishes done, shower done,,,just need to dress and go. Sitting a few minutes to relieve my feet. Sure gotta do something.
Ok,, gotta git,,,yall tc, and

July 4th,,,Well,,Sorta, 2012
I did make it to the park to check it out. When I first got there,,, nephew wasn’t’ ready, so,,, I went back later, about 7 PM. Just parked up the hill and his mom came by and said she would tell him to bring me a bun with slaw…And,,he did,, I bought it for today so I just took one bite,, and yummmm. I had never had one, pulled pork,,with slaw on it. The food trailer is in one of the pics, beside a big red one., You can’t see but just a small part of it. The early report was, they did really good. They have plans to set it up on one of the main streets during the lunch time, 5 days a week. Maybe go other places for one day on the week ends.
That squash is sooooo good!!! I cut up the big one, not sure if it was gonna be eatable, but, it was. If you can cut em, you can eat em.
Gosh, there’s just nothing to write about today. Feet still giving me problems,,,trying to wear flops, at least, even in the house. The padding seems to help. I keep looking at things that need done,,but nope,,not now. They require me to be on my feet. The cooking is bad enough. I’m gonna eat 1/2 that bun at a time,,it’s BIG. Will make 2 meals.
The book I’m reading is good, Hot Springs…didn’t think I’d like it, but I do. I’ve had several paperbacks laying here forever, so I’m going thru them now. Not really sure where they came from, I didn’t buy them
MsB,,,still lol about the fly strips…

Longest Day
Year's 1/2 gone yall!!! OOOO,,, and today is the longest day,,, hahaha,, you thot the 20th was, right? So did i. The 20th had the most dayLIGHT, but today is longer. Has 24 hours, 1 second. Geez,,didn't you really wanna know that? lolololol.
The more i read about the health care, the better it sounds. Of course, for me it doesn't matter, i'm on everything anyway. Something i don't understand is why my drug coverage has paid my costs with no co-pay except for one, Spiriva, all year. It's never done that before. For a few months , like 3, it was that way and the rest of the year had to pay the co-pay. And Spiriva isn't the only one that isn't generic. NOT gonna complain,,,hahahahaha,,,just curious.
My feet are still killing me. At nite when i get up, i can barely walk on them. Both, but the left is worse. Then, they kinda loosen up or something, but still hurt.
Just after i ate breakfast i heard a loud ,,,BOOM,,and my power went off. After a few minutes, i left the house and went looking for garage sales,,was nothing worth stopping at, then i looked for nephew's food trailer at the town park. Didn't see it, so i drove by his house and it was gone, so i had missed it. Went back, still didn't see it, so i called. Yep, they were there, but not quite ready to serve yet. It was 10:00AM!!! I had asked for delivery,,,lol. They're doing pulled pork buns and homecut fries. Maybe cole slaw. This is their first day. They were probably up all nite trying to get things ready,,,,his fault tho, he went to Austin for a friend's BD party, on Thursday nite, and didn't get back til no telling when yesterday. So i'm sure they peeled potatoes all nite,,,hahahahaha. Then flash fried em to put in the freezer for quick cooking today. Mercy,,,kids,,, lol. Well, he's 21 now.
When i went by the house, his Mom was there and gave me a LOT of yellow squash and tomatoes,,we picked em right then. So,,,got good things to go with the steaks today. I dice up the squash, add butter and a little sea salt, microwave for a few minutes... O yeah,,,weighted this morning,,,down 2 now, not 3.
I'm getting way too weak, not sure why. No energy at all. It's like i have to have some carbs! That happened yesterday, too. Just can't win for losing. lol,,not losing, maybe winning? Now that doesn't sound right.
YUKKK,,,on tv it's showing how to do a crab for cooking! The cutting up part! Ok,,side tracked enough.
It's gotten a bit cooler. Heck, might even get a stray shower. Thru tomorrow. I'll take that, any time. Especially in the summer. Did yall know most cell phones are now able to get bad weather reports, warnings? Just started Thursday. Almost all states and phone companys are doing it. Mine is thru Verizon so i should. It will make a sound like a text, sorta. Then you can read it.
Ok,,enough trivia. I do read the paper every day,,,lol. Get all kinds of useless info. There was an article last Wed. about a county road in Williamson Co going across private land. The landowners wanted to close it, and were ruled out, cause the road has been there decades, used by the public. That's the same as we are doing,well, sorta. We're saying river access. It's another argument on our side. Even tho it's just a county road.

June's So Gone
Still not much of anything going on. I think the 4th celebration is gonna be Sat, the 30th. Since i haven't bought the local paper in about 20 years, not sure. Businesses will still close on the 4th. There's an all day thing that goes on at the park here in town. The Little Miss Sparkle contest starts it off, and i think there's a kiddy parade too. Ends with a good band, street dance, and fireworks, if allowed.
It happened again,,,lololol... I get in the bathroom and my phone rings,, I've told everybody, if i don't answer, wait a minute and call back. lololol. It's weird, how it happens all the time. This time, was just a credit card co,,,left a message. I don't have anything extra on my home phone, like caller id, long distance, anything,,,just the basic. I have all that with the cell. So if someone doesn't leave a message, then i never know who called on that one.
I've lost 3 lbs...i went ahead and weighted this morning, cause if i hadn't lost, i was quitting. lololol. Too darned much cooking, cleaning up. The only vege i like is corn, and it's forbidden. Fruits have too much frucose (sugar) so they are out. I still have that huge bag of veges i can stir fry, make em almost palatible. Gotta figure out some other things to eat. Gonna add salads for sure. WITH dressing!!! I've made it thru 6 days, almost 7, so i can add a few more carbs. Try to stay with about 60-70. What it amounts to,,,IS,,no white, no sugars.
Not sure what i think about health care. We were forced to have car insurance, so what's the difference? It actually might help people like my son. I'm past the age for it to matter anyway.
Highs in the 90s for the next few days,,HA!!!,,according to the great weathermen. Yesterday WAS cooler tho. Keep your eye on my little weather thingy.
Just had to kill 1 or 2 flys yesterday,,maybe getting better. Still have no idea what caused it. Years ago, i bought some fly traps you hung outside. It was a lid they went into a gallon jar thru, and couldn't get out. To attract them you put something stinky in the jar,,like a fish, and hung it way away from you. Believe me,,,they worked!!! BUT,,,to clean out 1/2 gallon of dead flies, and stinky fish, was a horror. We had to dig a hole and bury that. This was out at the ranch and got worse when we were raising 2 pigs to eat. Even tho they were not close to the house. These are just the common ol house flys i'm being bothered with. Never had this many tho. Woulda helped to have lots of gallon jars...
I've been watching a live cam on ustream about the decorah eagles, but they have left the nest and looking into others today, i found one i LOVE. It's called pete's pond. In Afica. Has lots of wildlife show up to drink.
