Was this really weird cloud afterwards, but beautiful too.


This caught me by surprise.  A little cloud set there and built up to a good one.  Never too much rain.

Had to put these up today, and will get back to Tow on a later post.

Tow is located in the NE part of the county, at the head of Lake Buchanan.  Where the Colorado River flows into it. 

I took lots of pics, but I’m gonna add them each day, not overdo.  I really enjoyed getting out and doing this, been a long time.  I even stopped and visited g/dotter and stayed too long…didn’t get home til 7.  Intended to go to Kingsland and eat mexican food, but was too late.  They get too busy after 6 or so, would have had to wait on a table,,etc.  So I skipped that.  Had some frozen entrees, and that’s what I had. 

I went thru a park later, and will get the pics on later, but,,,while I was stopped taking them, a man drove up on a golf cart,,,was the park host.  AND A FULL TIME RV’ER,,,was there in their motorhome,,with his wife.  After he retired, they sold a 4-3 house, his tools, and did this!  He said they had an “away” sale…lol.  Sold-away, give-away, throw-away,,,etc.  I told them how many bloggers I read that have done that too.  His wife walked over, and we talked a long time.  Just might go back and visit them again, they were great.  I didn’t get pics of them, nor their motorhome. Maybe next time.  Kinda hate to ask strangers to do that.

It’s that time again, so yall tc, and

Found a Few


I was so glad to find these out at the town park.  Hadn’t seen any for a while, and wanted some good pics with my new camera.  I thot they would finally come closer but they didn’t.  Had to do the best with the zoom.

The turtles have reclaimed the rock,,,lololol.  About 20 of them took a dive off for some reason, but the rest stayed.  All those heads were floating there by the rock. 

Monday thru Thurs are good nites on tv, for me.  I have to record some too, because they overlap.  I still like the Biggest Loser, so I record 4 sitoms on another channel.  More new ones coming on this week too. Like, Smash.

Ok, I’m wandering,,,so yall tc, and

HAGD

PS,,, my 7 kept coming up, and my nephews 4, all thru the game Sunday.  Then bro Bs 5 won it,,,lololol

Did Someone Say,,,SNAKES?

This is about 21 ,,, so far.  My bro Bs.  There’ll be more.  I just didn’t want to stretch over very far cause of that one in the corner.

Back in working Home Health Care,  I was sent to a neighbor about 2 blocks from me.  Before I got there, they beeped me to go somewhere else that day, so I didn’t get to see her until the next.  And actually, it was her son with MS? or something, that was the patient.  Her door was unlocked and I went in, her son sitting there in a recliner twisting and turning.  I called out and could hear her from the bathroom, and I walked that way, and was horrified when I glanced in the door and saw her feet in the floor, then looking on in, her too.  She had fallen between the tub and commode and couldn’t get up, and it turned out, she had been there for 2 or 3 days, and the son in that chair too.  He had to be helped up, and helped to walk, so no food, water, zip.  I had wondered why her papers were in the front, because she always got them and her mail.  The worst thing was,,,her older son lived a block away, went by several times a day, and hadn’t even checked on her.  I called him, and he did come but he couldn’t get her up either, called an ambulance, I got the son up and into the bath, cleaned him up while they took care of her, fed him.  She ended up with a bad kidney infection, and the son stayed with his brother until they could get them into a nursing facility where one of her daughters worked, and they both were moved there.  It was in another town, so I never got to see them again.  It was time.  The house sat there empty for a long time, but then one night it burned to the ground.  Think they said it was electrical.

Enjoying the pics?  lololol

My Surprise

 

This is my screen saver, and J took this around here somewhere.

IMG_0002

The tree laying across the drive next door.  It’s the 2nd one from the left, and the next one is a big limb sticking up.

IMG_0004

This is what the camera is, the 2300.

IMG_0006

And this is what it looks like.

IMG_0007

I got it yesterday, and had to charge the battery before I could do anything. Took a few hours, then,,,had to figure out what I needed to know, which I’m still doing,,,lol.  But maybe these pics will be ok.  After all those fuzzy ones of the pelicans, that was it!!! with the old one.  If I get a chance I will get some more of them too.  Haven’t seen them in the big numbers like before, but still seeing a few at a time.

So again, yall tc, and

What Day is This???? hahahaha

Just wondering,,,(lololol) did yall read My Terlingua on 2-1?  Catch the link here and do it if you want to LYAO...

Anything on TV today?,,,hahahahaha  I've already heard enough about it.

Gosh, motocross races on TV,,went to those for years.  Even rode the courses on my bike.  Most of the time, I had to find a shade, having the kids with me.  Had tons of movie film of those, stolen.  We went to all kinds of races, not just those.  Jet boats, regular street racing, drags.  Like I told my son, yall grew up different than others,, we liked to do fun things and took them too.  And their friends, and my bro B. 

J was super good on a skate board, and I even took him to Austin one time to enter a contest.  He should have won!  He did one thing no one else ever did,,,he could be standing, bend over and hold the board, and come up in a hand stand, and all the while rolling.  Filmed that too,,,and it's gone.  Of course, the judges were the kids dads,,,etc, he didn't have a chance. 

I finished The Green Mile last nite.  No matter how many times you see it, you will always catch something you missed before.  Not saying anything else, just in case some of you haven't seen it.

And YES DD, I wondered what had happened to you yesterday... Was glad to see you today.

Down, Off? Who Knows?

Internet was down, off?,, for a while this morning.  Kept rebooting my modem, checking connections, etc.  Then, it was just back on.  So I don't think it was my problem.

Been cleaning my keyboard skins I do have, and I think it is gonna work great.  Never could find a place to order them, and in there on my computer desk,,,o wow, found a package of 2.  Couldn't tell if they were used or not, so,,,I've been cleaning them this morning.  One is about 2" too short but i'm cleaning it anyway.  I put a clean one on and it is wonderful, so it did work.

The stores with computers do not have these any more, and now I can't find a place to order what I need.  Found lots of them, just couldn't determine if they would be long enough or not.  In looking, I found how to clean them.

I had to laugh yesterday, til my face hurt!  And then I kept on.. J came walking up to the door all stiff and bent over, then said,,,"therapy sucks!"  He was so sore he could barely move.  Guess I have a strange sense of humor, but he had to join me, and we both laughed til tears ran down our faces.  He needs a hot tub bad, but none available.

He just bought a house,  a beautiful older house on 4 lots.  I told him yesterday, he bought the lots, the house was free.  We all love it.  The papers will be signed the 22nd, and we can't wait.  He said when he walked in the front door, he KNEW that was the one,,,told the real estate agent,,"i'll take it",,,lol.  He made an offer about 1/2 what they were asking, they came back with 3000 added to it, and he signed up right then.  It didn't even have time to get listed on the agency's web site.  When the agent put the sign up, he put 'sold' on it too. lololol  Pics later.

I watched a little over 1/2 of the Green Mile last night,,,gosh, it was hard to turn off and go to bed.  And this is my 3rd or 4th time!

OO yeah!!!,,,sure nuff, went by Bs and there was a pot,,bought a number for 10.00, 100..00 pot, and got a 7!,,,Great one.  The  way these work is... you add the scores for both teams together,,,like,, 21-6,,, that makes 27.  The number on the right wins the pot!,,,It's ME,,,lolololol.  Now I don't give a hoot who wins,,,just root for my 7!  And you can think you have it, and right at the end, can change.  So you never count your chickens,,,,,
