No Plans for Today

But i'm open for doing SOMETHING.  Get cabin fever way too much in the winter.  I've had breakfast, just need to get going. 

Got up last nite about 11, and the little house across the street had a lite on.  I knew someone was moving in, but didn't know they had done so, and there was nothing around.  Well,, I wondered if I should call and have it checked out, but now i'm glad I didn't.  The man that bought, or rented, it, is there today, and I guess he had his scooter inside...lolollol.  It's sitting there now, and the front door is open.  That's the only vehicle he has, and my dotter told me that a couple of years ago, he rode it to Houston for cancer treatments, back and forth..Wow.

I'm getting neighbors all around!   There, and next door.  The couple next door found a water leak inside, after they had it turned on and left.  So they've spent 2 days pulling out that old soaked carpet.  No idea what other damage tho.  I haven't bothered them, seeing how hard they were working.

The loose horse is still in the pen a block up the street, and I don't know if they've found out who the owner is or not.  At least he's safe.  A few weeks ago, one around here somewhere, got out, ran to the highway and got run over and killed.  It's just 3 blocks away,  so i'm sure glad this one stayed up on the hill here.  I saw Jude coming out of the pen up there!!,,,guess he went to visit...lolololol.  And the horse was here that morning too, before he got into the pen,,,maybe visiting Jude,,,,hahahahah.

Wild animals do not excite Jude, he will just sit and watch them, but,,you let a person show up,,he's GONE.

That's all I've got,,so yall tc, and

Here I Go Again

I did write a post yesterday, but in a flash, it was gone,,,no draft, no nothing.  Wasn't gonna redo.

J has been staying with me this week after he fell last Sunday nite, and broke 2 ribs on his lower right side, on the back.  Bruised everywhere too.  Then fell again 2 nites later, but not as bad.  Just wasn't safe to be alone.  Talked to his doc, then again late yesterday.  He's getting one of those thingys that send electrical charges into it, next Tuesday.  So far he hasn't fallen again. 

We think maybe the therapy might have caused it, and it was stopped by the doc.  He's been a little better today.  He taking medication different too.  The falls are NOT good!  Thank GOD he didn't do more than break the 2 ribs.

Just thot i'd let you know and i'll be back whenever.  Yall tc, and

Just a Little More


They were napping in the drizzle, and this was all I saw.

The old rodeo arena.

And,, the new enclosed one, I hate it.

IMG_0064

Back to the old one, that’s being torn down.  You could park outside the fence and watch if you wanted to.  Or, there was a gate always open, way down the fence line, you could use to go in, if you wanted.  I just liked parts, so I sat in my car, then left when I got tired of it.

My dotter brought this to me, see the cup?,,,We had to have a good laugh, when I told her to look over on my kitchen counter,,,where my coffee mug, minus the handle, was.  The handle just came off when I barely bumped it in the dishwater.  Then here she came with a new one!

We had such a good time at lunch.  Since it was 11:00 am,,I had breakfast.  They did too.  I rode to Kingsland with my dotter, L, and we went to the restaurant that was in the film “Chain Saw Massacre”  Well, the building was.  It was moved to Kingsland later.  At least, I think that’s how it goes.  It IS the same building.

I get so tired of hearing tv, I have to turn it off.  Just did, and the silence sounds sooooo good.

This is the Last of My Tow Trip

That’s the Buchanan Dam, in the distance.  So little water above it.

IMG_0041

This is some kind of spill way, just to the left of the dam.

IMG_0042

This park is where I met the couple that had the motor home, and were the hosts. 

DD, that thing I was talking about, is an asteroid,, not a flare, read about it this morning.  It will pass between the earth and some of our satellites next Friday, but there is no danger of it hitting us.  It didn’t have a name, just a number.

My dotter is taking me out for lunch today, so yall tc, and

Still Around Tow

 

I finally found a few spots of water here.  Not sure if there’s any boat ramps useable tho.  Don’t think so.  I think the lake level is at 1992, and full is 1018.

It was after 5 pm yesterday, time for my supper, and I could NOT think of anything I wanted.  I drove by the fast food places,,nope.  Then, somewhere along the way, I remembered I had some wieners in the freezer, sooo,,,had one wrapped in a slice of bread.  (which reminds me,,I need bread now).

Now,,lololol,,I have the same dilemma,,,for my lunch today.

This was so dark and wide, but the pic didn’t do it justice.

IMG_0051

Total,,,so nice.

IMG_0056

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
