Just poured out almost 1 1/2" of rain we got late Sunday. Just blew up and came on thru. 2-3" in Western part of county. It had severe hail in it, but before it got here, that disappeared.
Gosh, don't know about yall, but it just gives me the shivers to think about camping inside those forests in CO, AZ, NM and other places. The fire danger. We liked to put up real cedar trees for Christmas, and we were careful, watered them, etc. WELLLL,,,one time when we took it out, i just threw a match on it, and it went,,,"WHOOSH". Instant fire ball. Never again did i have one in my house. Got a beautiful artificial one right then,,on a good sale.
When i was in the 3rd grade,,not sure what age that was,,,lol,,,our house burned. I was at school, but could see the smoke from the windows, knew it was our house by that big oak tree. It was on the highway going thru town, and people stopped and carried out everything. The fire was in the attic, (wiring) so we didn't actually lose anything, but the horror stayed with me forever. I could be out somewhere, and hear the fire siren (small town) and i would have to go see where it was. As soon as there were smoke alarms,,we had them. Saved our house one time too. We were eating supper and it started beeping,,i said,,why is it doing that and got up to look. When i opened my son's bedroom door next to the dining area,,there was a fire going close by the bed, window. J was the one that did the quick right thing,,wet a big towel and threw it on it,,Hubby threw big pan of water and scattered candle wax. How that did that i still don't know. He had the candle in a metal pan, sitting on a box, and the wic floated out, caught the box on fire,, HOW did that happen?? It scared him so bad he wouldn't even sleep in there for several nites. I still can't sleep in a house without an alarm.
I've been staying in,,just don't get out in the heat. I need to go go Walmart today while it's not so bad, but,,,been saying that for a week,,,lol. Who knows,,might just do it later. I'm not on a schedule.. Filled my car up yesterday, and that trip to San Antone was 23.2 MPG. That was driving over 70.
I called J yesterday and told him to call the doc and tell them if anyone cancels a later appointment,,let him have it. That way i can drive him. Just can't operate at 6 in the morning. That's when he needs to leave for the 8:30 one. He said he would.
Got my fly buzzing my nose again. Been here a week!! Yall tc, and

Miss You, Daddy
I know it's Father's Day, etc,,,,and mine left us in 85. Still miss him every day. He enjoyed life, and all of us, til he died. We were the house with all the kids, and friends of the kids,,,and on and on. He taught us the most important life lesson,,,how to play and enjoy each other. He left his work there, didn't bring it home. That was US time. He set up the ol horseshoe stakes out in the back yard way before it was cool. Always lots there throwing those things,, seems like most of the kids in town. Then ,,,the washer holes. Visitors would come and play, go home in other towns, states,,set up their own. I could throw those heavy thangs the whole 40 feet. We won lots of contests, having done them for so long.
Wasn't just those,,we also learned dominoes,,card, and other ones too. Playing dominoes as soon as we could add the ends together. Then of course, the 42 and moon later. I remember one time,,when i was maybe 11 or so, and we had the kitchen filled with neighbors and us playing jacks!!! Does anyone remember some of the other outdoor games? Like mother may i,,drop the handkerchief,,ring around the roses,,,penny pitching,,hide and seek in the dark,,, Like i said,,,there was never a dull moment at our house. Hop scotch...mercy,,,lots of em.
Dad came from a large family, 3 bros, 4 sis, and they were all that way. Mom just had 1 bro, 1 sis, and they didn't grow up like Dad's family did. The 4 bros even had a band, played for dances. They grew up on a farm up there by Honey Grove TX. Blackland. Worked hard, played hard. They moved here in '48, when farming wasn't doing good. He eventually worked for the railroad,,til it closed this end down. We were the end of the line.
One time, when i was maybe 4 or 5,,we were awakened by chickens squawking in the hen house, so Daddy grabbed his shot gun and i was peeking out from behind him when he shot at that skunk carrying a hen out of the yard,, and he missed,,,lolololol,,,didn't even scare that skunk. That hen was still squawking when they went out of sight. Up there, there were timber wolves too. Huge gray ones. I got walked to school because of them, and it was a LONG way. Barefooted, thru the snow,,,,hahahahaha,,,not really. Those wolves are probably still there, used to be when we went to visit, you could hear them at nite. They would get into my aunt's garden, loved watermelons.
Gosh, haven't revisited those memories in a long time.. There's just one of the sisters left now, and she was my fav. She had some strokes and can't talk now, but i talk to her dotter every few weeks. One of my fav cousins.
Family life like i've known it, just isn't there any more. Not even with my own. It's gone. Really really sad. Life in the fast lane,,,,,
Hope yall enjoyed some of this,,,it was really good to remember. So yall tc, and

Kinda Late Doing This
HJ is talking about lost mines today. And,,of course, they are everywhere. A classmate of mine spent years looking for one, and never found it. We had a gold rush here, back in the 1800s,,tent city of over 10000 miners. I think i've talked about this before. And about 30? years ago, they opened up another gold mine out NW of town. Very secretive, if you worked there, you could not say anything. Leave it up to bro B,,,tho. Helped pour cement out there one time, and of course, snooped around. Just saw a lot of big cans of stuff. Didn't see any gold,,,lol....
Then, one time, there was this big ad in the local paper, wanting to know about one about 40 miles NW. Had a map, was wanting someone to recognize the spot it was showing.
We made it to San Antonio Thurs. and i don't know why J thot he could get those shots. The doc wouldn't do it, said he had shook enough over doing the last ones too soon. J didn't realize the ones he went to get, still had the same medicine as the others, and that was the problem. They are different ones, just include the same one ingredient in both. Anyway, he has to wait 2 months in between, so it's 5 more weeks. He made the appointment, BUT,,it's at 8:30 AM,, I can't do that. But his gf said she would take off work if needed, and he said his dad would do it, too. Since i'm not sure how either of them would react to this, i really need to go. I act,,,then react later,,,, We did get to see his xrays,,MAN,,,just about makes me cry right now even. The way doc was talking tho, i think he was saying that the plates and metal in there now, is what's causing most of his pain. Not sure about when he would remove all that.
We laughed a lot,,,tho,,later. Since he didn't get the shots, he said he'd drive if i wanted,,and YES i did. He knew the way and all. We asked where a Red Lobster was and it was close so we stopped there. Shoulda known we were in trouble when he took off the wrong way thru the parking lot, and i told him we got out back the other way,,He said trust me,, i know what i'm doing,,,famous last words,,Got to the back of the parking lot and had to go back past the Red Lobster, just like i had told him,,,lolololol. That's when he said,,some places there got him turned around,,,hmmmm. Shoulda watched a little more then,,but, didn't. We got onto our road out,,and miles and miles later,,,we were going thru some construction and i said,,we didn't come thru here. Got to looking, no signs to even let us know where we were...Finally saw an exit with a McDs and stopped and asked,,yep, we had been going the wrong way, and had missed BOTH ways we could have gotten back here. SOOOO, here we go back the way we had said we sure were glad we weren't going earlier,,,(traffic stopped,,etc) and i get my TX map out and look at that little one on the back for SA,,,my,,we're on loop 1604,,not even sure where. With the construction, signs are rare, soooo,,,we miss the 281 N,,but,,i tell him I10 is on up the road,, shouldn't be that far. HUH!!! Miles later,,we find it!!! AND,,,we get on it!!! Even going the right way,,,,We just thot that was the funniest thang we ever got into...taking that scenic route,,,wanting to check out that McDs over there.....God knows where....He blamed it on leaving the RL,,in the construction,,,lolololol....even after going the wrong way to get out of the parking lot! hahahahaha,,,

Hump Day,,and it's the 13th
Guess DDs the only one to use that link i put on yesterday's post. Over the years, when i gave a gift for a birthday, i would make a copy of that day in history and give it too. Everybody loved it, and you would hear all the oo wow,,gas was,,, bread was,,,, i didn't know that. lololol.
One time, when g/dotter was a teen, i was giving her jewelry in the box, so i wrapped it in money... lololol. Different bill denominations,,, She took forever to unwrap it,,,lololol.
I haven't heard from J yet, on our trip tomorrow, to San Antonio. He was gonna call the doc and see if there was anything he had to do,,OMG,,the phone just rang and it was him,,,how's that for timing? And there's nothing he needs to do, but be there. His gf is going too, which i'm so glad.
Woke up this morning just before 8 and it was really dark. Had a little thunderstorm move over, and cooled it off so good i haven't turned on the ACs yet. Looks like about a 1/4" rain in my gauge. Guess i'll need some more 20s,,to get mowing done,,lololol. I think he mowed 3 times last year, the whole year.
Guess you can see, i don't have anything to talk about. Just saw one of those MRI tubes on TV, and don't remember if i told you about there being a chair you can sit in now, to get them done. I had told them at the doc's,,,i wasn't gonna get in one of those any more. I had my teeth bleached,,ONCE,, and it took like,,an hour to pack my mouth with gauze (not kidding),,then she would put the stuff on, had to sit 15 minutes with your mouth propped wide open, then clean it off, do it again,,,3 times!!! By the time that 3rd one was done, i was just about to start screaming,, Those 15 minutes crawl by. Wasn't worth it, didn't last. Mine were stained with the usual, smoking, coffee, tea. You have to do upkeep and i did til i ran out of that stuff. Hated doing that too.
Enough nonsense,,,so yall tc, and

Yeaaaaaa,,,Haircut Today
This site can take you back in time to 1920. DD was doing it on his blog today, and i've always loved to look back, too. Scroll down the page til you see the different years to go to.
http://www.pop-culture.us/Annual/1946.html
This is one i've used a lot to give to someone on their birthdays. Their special day in history. They always love it.
http://dmarie.com/timecap/step1.asp
I called around earlier, and when a shop wouldn't even answer their phone, let a machine do it, i hung up. I finally found one and have a 2:30 appointment. It was brought up in my last post about cutting my own hair. I've done that for years using a razor comb, but,, this style i'm wearing now has to be done with clippers,,,short on sides and back, not quite a mohawk, but close,,,lolololol.
When all my kids got in school, i just almost went to barber school. It would have been a drive to Austin for about 9 months, but with one or two more sharing rides, wouldn't have been bad. I had cut hair from the time my dotter was about 2, doing the boys and hubby later, too. I had been to the school there, got everything arranged,,UNTIL i found out i would have to work under another barber for TWO years!!! NO WAY! By then, i was the only one here doing the longer cuts on boys, and just no way would i work under a barber here. I told the younger one, he sure needed to learn to do those, and he did. Heck, i was doing em for free! Quit that when they got to demanding them when THEY wanted, not when i could do em. Beauty school was out, didn't like all the other stuff like perms, etc.
I won the contest with DD yesterday,,,i WANT TO LOSE THIS ONE! I got hotter here than he did there. Now, would you want to win that one?
Gosh i hate to turn my desktop on, and have to when i need copies. I know, i need a wireless printer, but sheesh, just do copies every once in a while. When i turn it on, there's always updates to be done, and i don't know why, but i still do them. That room is too hot, and too cold. Besides, my laptop is faster. Maybe it's thru updating now, and i can turn it back off.
Anyway, yall tc, and

Bring Em On,,,
Made it thru the Hatfields and McCoys,, was great! TY DD for telling about them or i wouldn't have known. I, like everybody else, can highly reccomend them. I looked at tonite, and ,,nothing. Good thing i recorded 3 more yesterday.
I didn't get out yesterday except to go to Taco Bell and pick up a couple of tacos, nachos,,for supper. Nothing appealing to me about getting out in a 100+ temps. Gonna be worse today. I'm reading a good book,,The Help,, got movies. Even my heart doc, i always carry a book with me, saw it and said he'd seen the movie. Has to be hilarious.
Gosh, i need a haircut. That 20.00 for this,,,20 for that, is 20ing me to death. I do a lot of trimming myself, but,,,gets to the point i have to have help. Even tho i just want half a cut, it still costs the whole amount. Not sure anyone works on Mondays around here either. Never wore my hair long after Mom finally! let me cut it when i was 12. Hated it. SHE couldn't grow long hair so she made ME...make any sense? She never forced my sisters. Even tho my dotter had this blond curly hair, i whacked it off because of her screaming every time i had to wash it. Told her when she could do her own, she could have it long.
She and one of my sisters,, got to be about old enough to want their ears pierced,,kept on all the time about it. SOOOO, one day, just to shut em up,,i told em to sit down, and i'd do it. OMG!! They did!!!,,,I HAD TO DO IT. I did it like mine were done,,,put a clothes pin on them,,for a while,,put a cork behind, thread a needle, dip in alcohol, and using a thimble, push that needle thru into the cork,,pull it out,,,tie the thread. I was shaking like a leaf,,,lololol,,and they weren't,,didn't feel a thang. I even got them straight, and they healed right up in a few days, put the earrings in. Learned my lesson,,keep my mouth shut,,never say things you didn't mean.
90* here, at 11AM,,, dog days,,here you come. Yall tc, and

And,,,It's Another Sunday
Made it thru the 2nd Hatfield, McCoy movie,,reallllyyyy hard to stop. With nothing on tv most of the time, i have lots of movies recorded now, to take up the nites of nothing on,,, Today i'm doing 3 more, Lifetime,,lolololol,,i know you guys don't like em, but,,,i sure do. Like the Hallmark ones too,,so there!!! hahahaha,, But for tonite, that 3rd H&M one is on. I have HBO, and Cinamax but,,most of those, almost all, i just don't like.
Haven't heard a word from SS, since i called and found out they both got jobs in Longview. Know they're horribly busy, house hunting,,moving,,selling one. They were gonna move personal stuff, til the house in Lake Worth sold. Heck, she would never have a problem finding a teaching job anywhere, coming from that prestigious one she's been at. And as for him,,named SE TX coach of the year his first year, in baseball, when he was at Hi Island, np either.
If yall haven't read the blog of lotta joy,,you need to, and tell others to, too. It's listed as one i follow as WITLESS RELOCATION PROGRAM. I just finished the last one of her past, and i get chills thinking about it. And tears.
I can never thank God enough for my parents, and we did get our share of spankings,,The worst was when Mom told us to go get our own switch,,,and if it wasn't a good one then she would get one and it would be worse,,,Heck, we believed it,,never took a chance,,,hahahahaha.
I still laugh about one time,,we didn't come up from the creek to eat supper, after we had been called several times,,,,and here come Dad,,we knew we were in trouble, but,,he forgot to duck going under a big pipe there by the bridge we were under, and while he was stumbling around almost knocked out,,we ran by fast as lightening,, He forgot what he had come for and we made our escape.....He rarely ever paddled us. And he let me be me,,the biggest tom boy in town. Mom kept wanting to girlie me up,,but no way. I had 2 brothers, 3 neighbor boys to grow up with, had to hold my own,,ya know. Was about 13 or 14 when i discovered boys were a different species,,not to be fought, beat in games,,,etc.
And i guess, back then, things like lotta joy writes about, were just kept secret in families. I know families now, that have been that way, and it's lots better now than back then. It's more watched for in schools, and the medical area.
