O Gosh, Hump Day Already
The heat is coming back, will have to run the ACs by the weekend. We did get a lot of rain, have no idea of the total,,lol, but i will next time. I put my new giant gage up this morning. Bring it on! I'll get a pic later, that darn camera is in the car, always in the wrong place.
Ok did call, and the lady is out now with my spiriva. OOO hear her now... OK got it. Last time i got a 3 month supply, and now this is one,,WTH? who knows?
I'm making some chicken salad, but just got it started, having to wait on the eggs now. Have yall noticed these cans of chicken,,how much is in them? NOT MUCH! I don't think it's the same amount as it used to be, most of it is liquid. After i drained the water off, it's about a 1/3 of a can of chicken left. The woman that used to announce all the baseball games over the years, made the best! I still have her recipe,,she would boil a whole chicken, then de-bone it. I still have a recipe from a girl that played with us, and later bought a bakery. Her bread pudding. Know who i'm talking about, SS? lolololol. Saw her a couple of days ago, at the store.
I used to wag SS around all the time. She was sooooo cute, and could say the best things...One time, going by this huge church in Austin, she said,,," OOO, that's a Jesus House". She was maybe 3. One more,,,her mom gave her a bath and told her to come here, let's get your drawers on,,,she laughed and said,," those aren't drawers, those are panties",, mom said,," well, you can call them drawers sometimes if you want to" SS,,,"does that mean i can call my dresses closets?" About the same age... she always could talk like an adult,, My son and bro B used to ride her around on their bikes, whatever, B on his unicycle with her on his shoulders. She just sat there, trusting them totally.
She sent me a Mother's Day ecard. Totally surprised, and loved it.
I know i'm forgetting something i was gonna say, ,,,it's gone now, but,,if i remember, i'll do it later.

The Way it Was
I woke up about 8:30 and it was raining!,,,On tv it's saying we got about 1.3,,,I will get myself that rain gauge today!!! Then i can say,,;hmmm,,, got blank blank here at my house...lol. We laugh, bro B and me, about bro G and his rain gauge. He always has just a little more than anybody else. hahahaha. He's the one that lives about 1/2 a block from me,,so will be interesting,,lolololol.
SS called yesterday and we talked a LONG time...Love it. Told me they might be moving to another town. O yeah, i was gonna look it up, see where it is, she told me in E TX. That's a part of TX i;m not familiar with.
I am not seeing any of the ducks, geese, etc, out at the park, any more. Well, plenty of squirrels. Sure haven't seen the baby beavers. About 2 weeks ago, i did hear the geese from up the river, so i guess they're still there with babies?,,,I'll know when they come back, there were 13 of them before. Then some more here in town at the other park. Don't see them either.
From the time i was a kid, we raised things. Like,,3 squirrels,,had em for years. These were things that had to be bottle fed. A skunk too. My dad loved that one,, loved to laugh when someone came to the door, and this skunk ran up to it to see who it was...We had it de-scented. Back then the vets would do that, now,,they won't touch them. After it grew up, and started staying outside,,it finally wandered off. Throw in a ring tail, lots of baby rabbits, a coon, but the most fascinating was the baby owl,,a great horned owl. I sure didn't know they were meat eaters,,got a book from the library to research them. lol, Son J had to hunt every day for it.
Later, after it started staying outside, he could call it, and hold out his food for it, and it would fly in,,,right into your face, you would think it was going to hit you, then suddenly drop straight down. We had reports of strange acting owls for years,,,lol. Like, friendly. No fear. Doing it's thing in daylight,,Once hubby saw one sitting on the end of the bridge when he went to work, just watching the traffic go by. One lady told me one had flown down to the ground when she was out in her garden.
Think i might should get in the shower, almost noon.
OOOO yeah!!!,, J has these HUGE ants he caught, big as wasps, that he doesn't know what they are. They have wings, and there were huge swarms of them out where his gf lives, under the lites, a few nites ago. They had thot they were crazy ants, but after seeing the pics i had cut out of the paper, they're not. He said he had seen them about 15 years ago. I'd sure like to know what they are, don't need things like fire ants, bad stuff, coming around.
Ok,,really am outa here, so yall tc, and

Gotta Quit Looking at Sales!
And, i did get this floor mopped, had so much fuzzy stuff i had to do it! Gets that way kinda easy. I'm gonna blame it on Jude,,,lol. He is really scratching lately, don't know why. Not fleas. The x told me theirs were doing it too, and the vet didn't even know why. Assume allergys of some kind. So that's how it's getting a lot of ,,fuzzy, in here.
Slept good last nite, but the nite before, i woke up one time and felt like it was hard to breathe. I had been having a dream about being under water, not being able to get my breath, so,,then i wake up. Took a while to get back to normal. Do any of yall have sleep apnea? * As far as i know i never have, but could this have been an episode? Hope it never happens again,,,don't want to wear one of those masks.
Gosh, it's just toooo easy to order something online! Got a darn email about crocs being on sale 75% off, so,,yeah u guessed it,,i had to order a pair. I had looked for these over at Ace and they didn't have this style, and guess what color i ordered? lololol,,,RED of course. I'm just not a black or brown person!!! Or white for that matter. Gotta have COLOR! It's a sling back with a solid toe. Something i can just slip my foot in, with or without socks.
I think all these web sites know i'm a sucker. I did sign up on Google to quit getting all those ads everywhere i went, tho. Like, every time you looked at something, the ads followed you everywhere. But, like i told my dotter, if it's been a while, i don't remember how i did it....lol.
She said she gave her BF a laptop for his birthday, and he's totally green,,,hahahahaha,,,gonna be fun there. Also, he got online, so he can take it with him when he has to drive the trucks everywhere in TX. She couldn't get him to even come out and look at a hummingbird nest she found,,,too much to see, too many places to go,.,, lolololo.

IT”S Saturday,,,Hmmmm
River is up a little. Really muddy tho. Look just under the tall white sign, and that’s the dam.
For Mother’s day,,,
My tree damage,,,,lololol.
I woke up at 7 THIS morning and went right back to sleep. Now I’m way behind,,,I guess. IF I’m on any kind of schedule.
My pics are so bad I almost don’t wanna publish them. I never was into photography, and just never cared to learn. OR,,put money into all that high priced stuff to do it with. I see all these others that are so good, makes me NOT want to put mine out…SOOOO, Here they are, like em or not. Best I’m gonna do.
I did put money into video cameras, for all the good it did, now I don’t have that either. All that was in the store rooms theft. Those had started way back when the kids were small. Even had on one, their water wiggle being used in the back yard, before our german sheppard killed it. lololol,,,She hated that thing. One had the kids,,and bro B, on their bicycles jumping into a huge mud puddle. Bro B was about 4 years older than son J. Wouldn’t his kids have loved those now? lololol. Seeing their dad in action younger than they are?
My best friend lost all her pics when she moved here from Houston. Never found out what happened to them. That was years ago. I do have those, what few I took, because I had the movie camera.
Well folks,,I need to make a move here, maybe get in the shower, get something started. So yall tc, and

Another Week Older, and,,,,
Had to laugh last nite, (maybe not funny) but i laughed anyway. Everybody around here knows to watch for high water when it rains buckets like yesterday,,,right? About 9;30 there was a disturbance call way down E on a city street and a deputy turned off of Hwy 71 to assist. In a minute i heard,,,BIG WATER. Then,,,silence....You're thinking,,,,gosh, that idiot went into that creek! After about a minute of silence, then i heard,,,"I need a wrecker." hahahahaha,,,I know i've got a warped sense of humor, but that is still making me laugh. There was so much rain in such a short time everything was up and roaring, even the little draws that normally stay dry. Son said that little draw out there where gf lives got up to the steps. So yeah, a big creek is gonna be up and roaring. I guess he wrecked his car to keep out of the water,,a smart move. Not a smart move was taking that cut off to start with. Or not to be going slow enough to check out the creek. 2 small CRoads were closed for a while.
And no, i have no idea how much rain we got. Don't look like anybody's gonna give me a rain gauge ,,so i guess i'll have to get one myself. I want one of those giant ones with the big floating ball. When my dotter asked for a list that was the first thing. And the only place to get one is where she works. Cause i looked at other places. Tell you what, if i don't get one for Mother's day, i will get over there and do it.
J went to Fredericksburg yesterday, his doc is there once a week, and got a lot more injections in his back. I didn't know it til he called about 4'30 pm asking about tornado warnings around. Then he still took time to stop at Walmart and the chicken place before he headed back. The rain was BAD, and coming over that mountain range is bad too. He showed up here about 6 with a flower arrangement for me. He was barely moving. Gotta get that surgery done!
I have to make a stop at the library today!!! I've read almost all the Lee Child books, one left, so i have to spend time hunting another author to read. I sometimes look at the best seller list and find other books by those authors.

Bring It ON!
Guess what,,, i didn't get my oil and filter changed yesterday,,,the building was full. And that lake at the front door was being filled in. Told him np,, not going anywhere. Yet. Love watching that radar,,all that stuff coming this way. Today, tonite, tomorrow.....wooohoooo. Bring it on!
My shows are ending,,,the Biggest Loser, the Voice,, 2 weeks left of Idol,,mercy! But i think i'll like Howard Stern on America's Got Talent. Better than Piers Morgan by a long way. So You Think You Can Dance starts about then,, Heck, might be better than now.
There was a channel 7 van sitting down by the dam here in town yesterday. I saw them get out, and film about 10 seconds, then forgot to watch it. Long drive for that, but maybe there was more in other places. It's the fox network.
Wow, it's 1 pm,,,where did my day go? O,,,my bro G came by for a while. The gate thing is still going on. He had run across the mayor and been told that he would call another meeting,,to let us know what their legal system had said. Might be time to get out the glue,,,lololol.
Ok,,i don't nap anymore, well, rarely, but today?,, Think i'm gonna. Eyes don't want to work,,i think they need a rest. Nothing else going on,,,it's the weather,,,that's what. Yall agree?
