Our Lucky Day,,,

Yeah,,Friday the 13th,, why not?  That's how i'm gonna look at it,, (let you know tomorrow,,).

I have no plans,,of course.  I can always handle spur of the moment.  My favorite grandfather,,lived here the last 6 years of his life, from 80 to 86,,his age,,not the year..lol.  Totally independent.  I would go by and ask,,do you need to go to the store or anywhere?,,and he just picked up his hat, put it on and out the door we went.  I think i've mentioned this before, but most of the time, he wanted to go to the liquor store,,and why not?  He would get his bottle, and the next time,,he'd say,,go to the other one...hahahahaha,,he didn't want them to know how much he drank.  I never saw him tipsy.  He went with me one time,,,up to Goldthwaite?,, about 60 miles North, and never said a word about my driving, but later told Mom the fence posts looked like a picket fence...lololololol.

I so enjoyed him.  He would give my son J,,born the day he moved here, a paint brush and a coffee can of water, and tell him he could paint the porch.. J loved it.  He'd paint and paint,,go back and start over when it dried.  Kept him out of a lot of trouble.  He died of liver cancer, in just a few months, later.  When he said he wanted his pistol, i wanted to go get it for him.  A man like him,,totally bedridden, having to be waited on by Mother, his dotter.  She was a nurse, but still.  She had him at home as long as possible, so he wasn't in the nursing home but just about 3 weeks.  I went by almost every day, with J and by then, my new one.

Welllll,,, i've looked at tv for tonite,,NOTHING.  Not even any movies to record today.  Good thing i have several done.  My life is so boring.  Not even cooking today, have leftovers, good ones,,

Can't sit on the porch, like BB,,,too darned hot.  Just thot about it,,,HEY DD!!! How much rain have you had?  You didn't even mention it.  I got just a bit more after pouring out 4 3/4", not even a 1/4". 

Ok,,enough of this, yall tc, and

A Sugar Daddy?

Gosh, i'm wearing myself out, swatting flies!  Is there no end?

Already been out to the $Store,,was going yesterday, but,,,huge rain started again, so i didn't stop.  Had enough getting drowned...  I poured out 4 3/4" yesterday after it had stopped,,,didn't want it overflowing, making me lose count.  G was here "helping",,,telling me he had just a little over,,,hahahahaha.

Fed Ex leaves my packages on my porch without letting me know, and when i was leaving earlier,,sure enough,,there was a box on the porch.  Looks like he could at least ring the doorbell.  I went on, and got it when i got back.  It was dry, so i guess it was left this morning.

I ate the little bit of cornbread out of my freezer, yesterday, so i just put another pan in the toaster oven.  Gotta have that with meat loaf and bean soup,,,right?  Got lots of tomatoes to add.  That's my supper.

My feet just quit hurting from getting up one time, to the other.  I walked around in the $store with no problem.  Amazing.  I've been taking an aleve the last 2 or 3 nites,,that might have helped.  I was getting kinda concerned about it.  Not good, if you can't walk.  I woke up last nite about 12, and it was about 3 before i got back to sleep, after another aleve.

Got my laugh for the day, earlier when i read MsB...lolololol.  I've looked for a sugar daddy a long time..hahahahahaha,,,,,joking yall. 

Looked like DD was getting our rain,,,maybe that swamp will fill up.  I haven't noticed the lake levels,,will try to.  Buchanan has been down 17 feet.  But that's from all the way full, which it never is.  Summer full is around 1014.  Well, i guess it is 17 down.  I saw it dry not too many years ago, well, a few puddles above the dam.  Maybe back in the 70s?,,,That was when you could walk out on the dam,,and we did.  Amazing,,,just puddles.  Could have been the 80s,,,not good going back in time...

Rambling again, so yall tc, and

HAGD

How Can Time Go So Fast?

I just shut my eyes, and another week is gone.  Then, a month,,whoa.  Is it the same with yall?

I have 4" of rain in my gauge today, and it says more coming again,,,hey bring it on!  Haven't asked G how much, but assuming he has 4.1.  Hahahahahaha...

I tried and tried to get a document on here yesterday.  I got on my desktop, and finally got it to open using something i downloaded to open files with, but, when i put it on here, it was tiny, and when i enlarged it, was blurry.  It was "What my Mama Taught Me".  The switch thing brought it back to mind.  I'm not gonna give up.  At least i found a way to open those files.  I think it was OF.  whatever that is.

I'm setting a record on swatting flies!!!  Those strips don't work at all.  WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM?????  My door is rarely opened.  Think they're coming from Petespond?,,hahahahaha 

Got some hamburger thawing to make a meat loaf with.  Got hungry for one, then sis N said she was making one yesterday, soo, mine's on the way.  I can bake it in my toaster oven.  Won't bake anything in the large one,,,  I put some milk and an egg in it, besides all the other, and it's juicy.  Also had some bean soup left, thawing it too.  That and cornbread,,yummmmm.

Gosh,,,i think the post office held my mail for days.  I got a huge stack of catalogs yesterday.  It wouldn't bother me to have 5 day delivery,  about all i get is junk.  I'm doing most of my bills by draft online.  I look at them, then ok it to pay.

TV is worthless most of the time, then like tonite,, things overlap.  Gotta record one to watch tomorrow.  O yeah,,,About 7:45 my power went off, so i missed the rest of America's Got Talent.. Yeah,,it was off til 9.  That lightening was right here!  Lots of it.  Dotter said it hit a power pole there by her house, and it took them that long to fix it.  My power has gone off 4 times in the last couple of weeks.  Don't know what's going on. 

Got that meat loaf in the oven, killed 3 more flies, and one's still asking for it.  Yall tc, and

This is What MY Mother Taught Me,,,,

 

This is What MY Mother Taught Me,,,,

 

Just Nonsense Today

BB was talking about painting Sadie Mae's toenails...lol.  I did that one time on one of my siamese.  She kept nosing around getting in my way while i was doing mine,,soooo,,,she got HERS done..She did NOT like it, but from that day on, when i just opened the bottle, she was gone!  She also made a mad dash when i just turned on the bath, so i guess she had one before i bought her as an 8 week old kitten. 

She would be underfoot in the kitchen,,yowling,,so i got a water gun,,and ,,,one shot was all i ever got in...just squeezing that trigger,,,she was GONE...

She was a seal point,,black trim,,i call it.  Jumpy, skittish.  The lighter the points, the calmer the cats.  Frost points the calmest of all, no fear, laid back.  Jude is a red point,,,even tho it's yellow.  I raised them for years, but never fooled with papers, just sold them for a small bit of what they were worth.  BUT,,i was so picky.  The line i had were from some in Round Rock that won shows.  They were so unusual in looks and personalities, they were like no other cats.  Even my vet said they shouldn't be classified as cats...lol.  The last frost point i had, was the smartest cat i ever had, but for his dad.  When i moved one time, he was at my Mom's when i went to work, and he disappeared.  I know someone stole him.  He was at home there too. 

I lmao yesterday,,,when i called bro G and told him i had had 1 1/2" of rain,, and like clock work he said he had 1.6,,,hahahahaha,,he lives 1/2 a block from me.  I then had to call B and we both had our laugh of the day.  B had the same as me.   G  always bests us by that .1......hahahahaha...BTW, got another 1 1/2" later, 3" in it this morning.  More coming they say,,,,well, i say,,,bring it on!

Don't know what happened, but from one time to the next,,,getting up,,my feet quit hurting...  No pain when i walk..thank you God.

When that rain came late yesterday, i killed about 10 or 12 more flies in here!!!!  Where did they come from?  That strip has ONE on it today.  I even squished one on this screen, had to clean it.  Does ANYBODY know how i can get rid of them?  HELP!!!   I've never seen anything like this.  Swatted 3 or 4 today.  Is there fly bait, like roach bait?  These strips do not attract them like i thot they would.

On my ustream today,,,petespond,,i saw a herd of giraffs...This is the best one i've ever had on there.  Saw a herd of elephants a few days ago.  http://www.ustream.tv/petespond.,  So instead of just reading the paper with my coffee, i'm staring at this....lololol.  Check it out,,see what you think.

Out and About

Just got back from the grocery store, thinking i would get out before it got hot...HA...The temp isn't that bad,,,like 90, but still and sticky.  Getting ready to make more storms like yesterday,,, Had a really heavy one move thru here late yesterday, dumped 1 1/2" in about 30-45 mins.  AND... i got out in it.  I had gone to the shop where  my son was, and got caught there.  Got totally drenched getting to my car.  I was so wet, it was hard to get my clothes off when i got home,,they stuck to me....Good thing it was warm.  My son was drenched too, putting vehicles in.  Had to jump one off.  Tried to tell him it wasn't showing bad hail any more on the online weather.

Off my diet.  When i added back those few carbs,,i gained back a pound!!!  I give up.  My body doesn't want to operate on 30 carbs a day,,got too weak and unable to function.  But by adding 30 more,,,i gain a pound..

All that rain yesterday fell North, where it would end up in Lake Buchanan ..  Most of it.  The lake gets it from the Colorado, so maybe the rain this week will help.

There's still not one fly on the strip.  And one just buzzed by.

I couldn't sleep last nite,,,well, until after 4 am.  My feet were killing me.  I got up once and still don't know why i didn't take an aleve,,but,,a couple of hours later, i sure did.  Then it took another hour to work.  Nap coming up for sure.

Mind's gone blank,,yall tc and
