Daylight Saving Time,, Leave Us Alone!!!

Need to call my bro G, today is his BD.  He's off hunting up there by Menard, on his place.  Hunting, huh!,,sitting in his stand, waiting on them to come eat.  Better keep quiet, lol, he always give me some.  AND, i'm darn sure ready for it.  Now, that sounds good!!  Good ol chicken fried venison, with gravy, biscuits.  oooooo,,,mouth's watering already.  Gotta have onion with it, too.

How'd yall make it this morning?,, Gosh, i was up an hour earlier!  Got my last clock set a while ago.  It's the bird one, i look up from here, to see.   Think i got the bird sounds right.  I got this for my Mom one time, long ago when they first came out, knew she'd love it.  My niece called from High Island, saying she had found the perfect gift for Granma,,,that clock! hahahaha,,,I told her i already had gotten one for her...Beat her to it.  She couldn't believe it, hahahaha.  After Mom passed away, i brought it home with me. 

 She's the one that can, and has, give you a perfect gift,  and it is always just for you.  With 3 little girls now, she doesn't have time to make things like she used to, but still can pick up some little something that is just right.  I lugged her around all the time, when she was little.  One time we were in Austin, and drove by a huge church, and she said,,,oooo,,,,there's a Jesus house.  It had the stained glass windows and that's how she knew.  lololol.  Her mom told her, after a bath one time, to come on and get her drawers on,,she laughed and said,,,those aren't drawers, those are panties.  Mom said, you can call them drawers sometimes if you want to,,Her answer?  Does that mean i can call my dresses closets?  I'm gonna call that girl today,,,Miss her terribly.  She and her hubby teach up there at Lake Worth.  If i were able i would drive up there and visit, they are always telling me to come.  They have a bedroom and bath, just for me. lol.

Well, got my oatmeal cooked, cooling now.  AND,,,dishes done. lol.  Getting around that hour earlier.  The way i adjust is,, i just don't think about it, i look at the time, and that's what it is.  So, i'll go to bed tonite like always, at 10, lay there and not go to sleep, but,,,hahahaha, after a few nites, i will.  How do yall adjust?  Got any good ideas?

I looked up the nearest places i could get new glasses, and no matter which way i go, it's about 60 miles.  That's the Lencrafters, Eyemasters, etc.  Not sure if i will get new frames, these are just about 3 years old, still really good, but maybe, if i find some i like the looks of.  Also, not sure when i will go.  I never make plans,,gotta be spur of the moment.  I'll probably go on 71, to Bee Cave.  The other choice is Cedar Park., on 29.

When i was out and about yesterday, it's still not the hunters around.  I drove by the processing place, and ,,,nothing there!  Maybe the ranchers have just priced themselves out of a living.  I know that's the main income for them.  (Used to do tax work for a CPA).  So many around here are selling off their places, and then it's being turned into these little parcels of a few acres.    Who can blame them,,they can't afford to keep them up any more.  Then you bring in something like this disaster, the drought, and bam.  they're ruined.  Some sell off what they have to, cattle, keeping a few for now.  But, they have to feed and water them.  So, that won't last long.  Only thing that will help,,is rain.  Something we all need to pray for.

Ok,,Yall HAGD

Just Aint Here

WELLLLLL,,, I know i said i was gonna get some pics of the madhouse here, yesterday.  AND, i went out, camera in hand,,(well, on the seat beside me),,and there was NOTHING!!!  And get this!!!, Just a few vehicles at the favorite bar in town!  Regular number of customers at the grocery, and dollar store.  This is a first in my whole life!  Is everybody in the world suffering in this economy?  Did the drought have anything to do with it?,,,Gosh,,beats me.  If i find out what's going on, i will post it for sure.

Dug out leftovers for lunch, yuk.  Little bit of chili, 1/2 of a bar b q bun.  Still trying to think of SOMETHING that sounds good to eat.   Late yesterday, bacon and eggs did sound good, but didn't want to wait to cook them.  lol.  Anybody have any ideas?  Cmon,,tell me something.  Limited choices here on take out, or dining out.  Overrun with barbq places.  After this bun, might not want that for a year! hahahaha  Good thing i've got an iron stomach.

Been changing clocks since i got up.  Now i don't know what the real time is.  Mercy.  Every time i look, i have to think,,,did i set that one or not?  MAIN one is on my coffee pot.  Just set it, now do i need that little red dot by the 12, or not?  Wow, a window just popped up with the clock on it, for this laptop.  How neat is that?  Said it would reset tonite.

Found a new blog, well ,,for me,, to follow,,Occupation of Independence.  Why i'm so late today, was reading back on it.  First, he said he was alone,,no dogs, no nothing, then,,he has 2!,,Gonna try to find where he changed his mind and came up with them.  Curious now.

Ok,,yall tc, and of course,

Just Realized,,,I Piddle

Here it is almost 11:30, and i'm just now eating my oatmeal.  I've piddled away the whole morning.  Just for all yall that's interested,, I DID MY DISHES!  First, i piddle with a pot of coffee, while reading the paper.  That can last a LONG time.  I glance up sometimes to see what that tv is saying, listen a little.   Then,, I start reading all the blogs.  Now, that takes time!  And i have to make a few comments, like to that OLD Hobo,,,saying "60" is old!!!!,,,Can you believe that?  Just what's he gonna say when he gets to where i am?,,,and adding another one on the 10th.  Here we are, BB, Hobo, and me,, on the 2, 4, and 10, getting OLD.   What comes after old,,,increpid?  That might be what i will be.  I can tell ya for sure, i'm way past that 60 mark,,the OLD one.  hahahahaha  And just for all of yall to know, i even still feel frisky every once in a while,,,hahahahaha.

Ok, let's see, now what is going on?,, O yeah,,the day before.  I'm going out later and get some pics for yall, gets really interesting around here about 5 pm.  Streets clogged, stores swamped.  Well, that's how it's always been before, so we'll see for this year.  I'll be taking my life in my hands,,you know.  I'll definitely have that seat belt fastened,,,lololol,,, i put a clip on it, and lay it over my shoulder to look like i'm using it most of the time.  But,,i will fasten it today!

I felt sorry for little Jude last nite, so i decided to let him stay in.  Not that he wanted to, but he's getting
"OLD",,loll Hobo,, and it was gonna  freeze.  Well, he got on the bed by my feet, and stayed good, until i had to get up, then here he came, just had to go eat a few bites.  OK,,so, he can stay in the front of the house, no problem.  HA,,I get back in bed, all covered up, comfortable, and,,MEOWWWW,,,MEOWWW,,,at the door.  I think, well, won't print what i think, but thot he would shut up eventually,,,HUH!!  I kick that cover off, get up and open the door, and the flash goes thru.  We both get settled again, and are good, til the next time,,,same thing.  Only this time, i make him come back with me.  This goes on all nite, til i'm up at 7;30, and when he runs to the outside door, I think,,gosh, colder now than all nite, and he's wanting out.  Well, out he goes.  I go back to bed.  Now, i remember why he stays out.  lololol.  When i got up later, here he came running, wanting back in.  Silly cat!  He stays under the house, and it's warm enough under there for him.  Enough heat seeps thru the floor to keep it that way, and that's why i've never had any pipes freeze.  I'm surprised i've never had other things stay under there.  Like skunks!  I went traipsing out early one morning, and just about stepped on one going around the corner, surprised it as much as me, and we both ran different directions. lololol.  Now, where did i see that mixture that takes that stuff off?  Knew i should have written it down.  Wasn't tomato juice.

Ok,,yall tc,, and ,,,HAGD

And, the Way It Is

GOOD MORNING!!!...Sorta.   Got a brisk breeze, enough for a little heat in the house, feels GOOD.  Sorry about my blog yesterday, had it all ready, and hit something on the bottom of my keyboard, and bam,,,all gone.  When that happens, i have been re-doing it, but yesterday,,nope, just didn't feel good, and let it go.  Guess i'm gonna take up DDs suggestion and do it in works.  BUT,, it might happen there too, and give me the same results.  So,,,just wait and see.

Tomorrow is THE big day,,,If you don't need to get out, then you don't!  It's THE day before deer season opens.  And this town is the deer capital of TX,,,used to say "of the world". lol.  But anyway, it's a total mad house in town, hunters everywhere, and THEY have the right of way, no matter where, what, when, so you are taking your life in your hands if you get out there.  LOLOLOOL  I will, just for yall, and take pics to prove what i'm saying.  I used to tell my home health ladies, i had to be home right after lunch, not driving on the highway later.  You DO NOT try to go to the store, there's no parking spaces.   And of course, they've jacked the prices up.  Tomorrow nite is the deer hunter's ball, started way back when we had the ol Rambling Rose here.  It's still in the same building but now it's the home of turkey sausage, Inman's Kitchen.

BB, wish i had thot to get some of that for you, when you were at Inks.  Have you ever tried it?  You just wrap a slice of bread around it, eat with onion.   yummmm.

Gosh, still haven't done the darn dishes!  I do them once a day, and there they are.  lololol,,,now i'm hungry for that turkey sausage!!!  hahahaha. 

My bro G is leaving today, to go to his place up by Menard,,,can you imagine, leaving here, to go there, to hunt?  hahahaha,,,But he will be taking some of that turkey sausage.  It's not HUNTING any more anyway.  It's killing the ones you've lured there by feeding them a long time.  How can people do that?  Feed them for months, sit in a stand and wait for them to come eat??? NO WAY.  They have learned to go to the feeders when they hear them go off.  To me, it's murder.  Not sporting.

We don't have quite as many hunters now, with the economy like it is, and it costs a LOT.  That one little ol white tail deer will cost you an arm and a leg.  Most of them aren't here to hunt anyway, they're here to party. 

Ok, doing dishes time, lunch time,,yall

Hey, We Are in November!

OO WOW,,,i'm ahead of just about everybody this morning!  lolol.  Got up at 8, cause of this eye apt.  It's at 11, so i still have a little time.  I think i need to eat something before i go, but i'm just not hungry yet.  I think i'll just cook some oatmeal, eat some of that before i go.  The place i go is about 7 blocks from here, so even with my eyes dilated, i can drive home. 

Remember to change ur clocks this week end.  When i got up this morning, i was thinking,,next week it would be 7 am, lol,  way too early for me. 

I didn't hear much on my scanners about going ons last nite.  A quiet nite for Halloween.  I closed my blinds, and sure didn't turn on the porch lite, so i didn't have anybody.  Before dark, my friends little g/dotter came by to show me her suit,,,was precious.  A Dallas cowboy cheerleader, but with her stick horse dressed up too.  And guess what,,, lol,, i didn't have anything.  Mercy!,,, Never even thot about having just a little bit.  I kept little Jude in, til i went to bed.  Noticed his ears perking up sometimes. lol,,,he stayed on my lap.  One year, i took the kids around, in my car, (that was mine and my Mother's,,lol), and we went to this house that was on the main street for kids to be, and the porch lite was on, so here they all jumped out and took off running up the sidewalk, steps, to the door, and about that time, here came a BIG dog, acting ferocious, and they headed back to the car walking backwards, with that dog chasing them, my bro B running around and around a big bush, dropping his candy.   About the time i was fixing to get out, he ran and jumped in the car,, the rest were already in by then.  I was FURIOUS!!!  For someone to have left that dog loose, and then leave their porch lite on, was horrible.  I drove straight home, got my HUGE german sheppard that would kill that dog, and went right back.  No dog!  From that year on, i took her with us, to her huge delite. lololol.  And the kids felt safer too.  Nothing would have hurt the kids with her around! 

Ok,,time to eat, get dressed and get outa here.

Yall tc,,and HAGD
