One More Time
Still experimenting. Think this might be ok now. This is about all the geese running to me, and i sure felt bad, didn't have anything for them. There's 13.
Hobo J, i did the preview thing,,,thx.
Heyyy,,,i'm Lost Here
WTH has happened with blogger?,,,A whole new set up here. hmmmm, i sure didn't do anything i don't think. Gosh,,,using picasa do this? Don't see any sign anywhere.
Just read Hobo's post, and remembered back a time we all went to a mall, yeah i did, hubby and 2 young teen age boys. Well, i needed a book so when we got to the part with the book store, i told them i needed to go in there for just a minute. OMG,,,,should have heard em all!!! Do we have to?,,i don't want to! Griping, groaning like it was the worst thing imaginable. They drug in behind me, i went and picked up the book i needed, told em let's go,,and went on to the check out. I COULDN'T GET THEM OUT!! It was,,,WAIT!,,,JUST A MINUTE! I don't wanna goooooo. They had each found a whole new world in there, books, books, books, on the subjects each one loved. From then on, it was,,,can we go to a book store? We could just pass one somewhere, and it was,,,stoppppp. Go back...
Hey, i like this new thing!,,,It just expanded this page down automatic. Wow. It's plain, no phychodelic background tho. Boring blue and white. Wonder if i can get my old one back. hmmmm.
Hermit J,,,on the pics,,no matter what size i put on here, u can click on them and expand to full size. I have to do that a lot to see things teeny tiny in some of them.
I told my son a few years ago, and maybe he had never realized ,,,that they grew up different than other kids. We were into motorcycles wayyy back, and i had my own (wasn't gonna ride behind anybody!) back in the early 60s. Only female i guess. But then,,,each of our kids had their own too. Starting with the really small ones, on up. Size i mean. Like in,,height. We took them to all kinds of races, drags, drag boats, motorcross, round track,,all kinds. Then about their teenage years, we got into running our own cars in the drags. Hubby ran GTOs, and so did my oldest son later. A lot of his friends got into it too. We took their friends along too. Gosh, now i think about sitting out in that heat for races, had shades tho, except for a couple, makes me think,,how in the world? lololol. We went to Austin a lot of week ends, just to see a movie, eat out at a good place,,none here. On their birthdays, they got to choose where to eat. lololol,,,youngest always chose Burger King. My bro B was just 4 years older than my son, so he was almost always along too. We had lots of fun, with our kids. Had empty nest syndrome for a long time. Was divorced by then too.
Ok,,enough of my history. Gonna post this and see what shows up.

Just Playing Around Here
This is the dam 2 miles W in the park. Just a little water oozing over.A load of turtles out there, wanna go fishing, BB?
Some of the geese that run to me ,,,i swear they know my car.Downloaded Picasa, maybe this will be easier, still don't know what i'm doing. HELP!! anybody have any suggestions?
A Little Patience
Well hells bells, N called and can't take me to Austin today, she's sick, so,,,i called and changed my appointment to 10-4. That way, my friend S and i can both go together again. Not gonna say i'm disappointed,, lol, gonna be way too hot. And like i told her, maybe this was a God thing, not to go today. I firmly believe he leads us in our daily lives.
I had this revelation one time, driving to Fredericksburg to work. I seemed to always get behind this little ol man in an old pickup, driving 45 mph, got his elbow hanging out the window, his cap on a little crooked. Here i am, chomping at the bits to pass, and no where to do it. It's a crooked 2 lane highway, with few passing zones. He just ignores me,,i'm on his bumper grinding my teeth. I always had to be ahead of everybody. f o r t y f i v e m i l e s a n h o u r... Get the pic? At the first short space, passing lane or not, i'm out there zooming around! Got a good passing gear. Leave him behind so fast, he never knew what just went by. I work 'til 5, head back home,,and OMG!!!! how is this possible????,,,I'm behind him again!!! Do my same routine, gotten normal now. Well, point of this story,,,one day, i thot,,u know,,maybe God has done this to slow me down, prevent something that could have happened up ahead, going my usual 75. I still apply that today, no more road rage, just calmly wait 'til i can get around safely. Almost all our highways here in this county are 2 lane. So u gotta learn a little patience. Driving was my worst one to do.
Just had my leftover lunch from the Catholic church. And,,had dark meat, so was eatable. Didn't have the salad or dessert, ate them yesterday. Have no idea what that dessert was, but was really good with ice cream. (I sure do need this band tightened,,,heheheh) Hungry now, just thinking about it. But,,i can eat, sorta, for 3 more weeks. lololol,,,
I'm so ready for the new tv shows. Been watching movies forever. And noooo, i don't do old westerns,,,lololol. I like those sissy kind,,on lifetime, and hallmark. And i still like movies i could watch with my kids, and not be so embarassed. One time,,,we went to the theater here, yeah back when,,we did have one,,to see Bonnie and Clyde, never forget that experience. Had our 2 younguns with us. When it started, my son leaned over, whispered "that woman doesn't have any clothes on". Mistake #1, i didn't answer. Then he leans over, says a little louder,,," that woman doesn't have any clothes on",,,Mistake #2,,,still didn't answer. Then he YELLS,, "THAT WOMAN DOESN'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES ON" Guess he thot i had lost my hearing. But i could sure hear everybody in that theater laughing their asses off! I decided i better say something by then,,and all it took was,,"yes, i know" Lesson #1,,,answer that kid when he says something.
You see, i never let my kids mispronounce words, i would correct them, so they knew from the get go, how to talk like little adults. Don't know now, if that was a good thing or not. lololol. Were lots of times, i sure wished they hadn't been understood....hahahaha. My youngest son,,started correcting himself to say "ain't",,when he was about 14. He would say something right, then stop, like,,i'm going to,,,stop,,i ain't.. lol.

This is Not my Usual Thing Today
Yep, i sure do remember that morning, 10 years ago. Was sitting in this very same chair, waiting to call in to my company to see where they were gonna send me that day, when it came on about the 1st plane. Didn't think anything but an accident, until the 2nd one hit. Then OMG. Then,,, the 3rd one. Still get tears. How can this be? WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!! I call in, ask them (in Austin), if they have any news on, then i tell them to turn something on, anything. I don't want to leave my house! Who knows what's next? Ft Hood is just a stone's throw away. But, i was sent to an 87 year old man in Kingsland, just 20 miles away. I rushed there, radio on, and he had his tv on too. All i did was just the necessary things, while watching with him. He was just as upset as we all were.
Now, i'm gonna tell this one too, cause i still think this was one of the terrorist that did this. About 1 1/2 years before 9/11, my x called and told me some idiot had been calling about something about our 1st son we had lost as an infant, in 1961. Said she was with the social security adm. Had left a number and name. He gave me the info, told me he thot she was a nut. I called the Austin office and found out there really was an office where she had said, so i finally called her. She told me a man had come there wanting a ss number, but he had raised her flags, suspicious. He was giving his name as my son, even our names, date of birth, whole thing. He even had a birth certificate in my son's name. I told her he had just lived 5 months, and had died of SIDS. Back then, it was called crib death. He had a good story, but she must have raised his suspicions too, because he never went back. She had delayed him for about 3 months, and had looked us up in the phone book finally, and called. Was surprised herself, to see our names still there, we were supposed to be dead. My x went by the office and looked at a picture, but no one he knew, ever. Said he was from Australia. She put a flag on our son's name after that, and no one can ever do that now. But the man was not to be found, had used a po box for an address. I reported this to the FBI, who told me they didn't do that kind of thing any more, to call the Secret Service, so i did. Never heard another thing about it. Told them to call the woman in the social security office, gave them her info, but who knows? And u know, maybe there were other reports, like mine, that were not checked out, and the person doing these things, got their ids because there wasn't an alert person on duty to check. I still thank GOD for that woman. Remember, this was just the right amount of time that the terrorist needed, 1 1/2 years before. Yall agree with me? Think i'm nuts? Well, i put the 2 and 2 together later and that's what i came up with.
The Catholic Church is having their fried chicken dinner today, and my son gave me 2 tickets. When i went to pick them up, thot there would be a mile long line, even at 10:50, and wow, i was the first! Grabbed mine and just had my brunch. Chicken way overcooked, so dry could barely eat it, and wouldn't u know it, i got a breast and a wing, the driest of pieces! lololol,, Had to chew, and chew, and chew, finally got about 1/2 of one down, and didn't look in the other, but hope it's dark meat.

It Really is Saturday
Sel,,hate to tell ya, but,,,still the same. I just checked again, and u go to settings, then the comment tab. Mine is set to anyone,,where ever you find that. And word verification. lol, that's all i remember. GL!
When i woke up today, i cound not,,remember what day it was. Finally figured out it had to be Saturday. Verified that on this puter. hahahaha,,,joking.
I have always been an avid reader. I read when others watch tv, and get into books sometimes, that i just can't put down. Hard to quit and go to bed. Well, this one i told you about, the last one of the series of the Clan of the Cave Bear,,i'm sooo almost thru with it, and here i am,,blogging!!! Just have about a 100 pages to read, and this book is on a waiting list, so no renewal, due by the 13th!. Gotta stop and read the rest! It's about 2" thick, heavy, hard to hold. Going to finish that thang,,,TODAY!! Just hide and watch.
Checked the river flow, still at 2cfs. Now i can't decide if that's good or bad. Can be either. New readers,,,that's cubic feet per second. http://hydromet.lcra.org/full.aspx. I live in Llano, with the river flowing thru town, our only source of water. Has to be above 12 for us to go back to stage 3, water rationing. I'm expecting all outside watering to stop any time now. We have been allowed once a week, by a hand held hose, just during certain hours, and i missed mine last Sunday. On downstream from the Highland Lakes, they have finally woke up and started to do some too. Then the fires came. Mercy!! Not good times in Texas now. Yep, i could just get in that river and grab some of those fish.
Wish i had some leftovers, darn it. All i have is jello. lololol. Means i have to do some kind of quicky cooking. After Tuesday,,won't need to eat,,,much any way. Get that band tight enough, can't.
BBL, maybe,,,HAGD
