Don't u hate to wait on deliveries? Been waiting an hour for a delivery from my drug store. Putting off my shower, and everything else. Wasted time. Don't pick my refills up, there's never a parking space there, and they do deliveries 3 times a day. A new one is being built that will have a drive thru, just up the street from me. YEAAAAA. Maybe in August. Too hot to get out anyhow. lololol
Just when i had decided to water my trees, the restrictions went into effect. I'm still gonna do it, but will just have to leave an open hose running for hours, instead of a sprinkler. I'll start at the upper part, and the drainage will help the others. Gonna deep water once a month while i can, might end that before summer is over. I've never been able to get a tree to grow on the East side, by my back door. Don't know why. I've set out 2 different ones and they ended up dying.
Just clicked on something and lost half my post. DAMMMMM.
Got my delivery and shower. Since today is Wed, my official weigh in,,been 3 weeks now, i'm showing down 9 lbs. Not bad!! Makes it all worth while. That was even after eating breakfast. Almost noon, so now i'm thinking about lunch,,,,hahahaha. Gonna be oatmeal, i think. Nothing else sounds any better. Gonna have to get out to the grocery soon. The one here is so over priced, not sure if it will be better or not, to drive 22 miles to an HEB. Guess it depends on how long a list i have, huh?
OK folks, outa here for today, yall have a goodun.

Weather, Gives Us Something to Talk About,
Got a notice thru email yesterday, city going into stage 3 water restriction. Outside watering with hand held hose only, restricted to certain hours on ur 2 days a week. Even the golf course can't run sprinklers. Can't wash ur car except at car washes, and in the hours that apply. Gosh, don't think this has happened since maybe the 50s. That was when our river dried up,,,and i can see that happening now. So much hot weather coming, months and months. Only hope is a stray hurricane, and they usually don't get this far inland. Don't remember who was talking about global warming recently (now called climate change) but i sure don't believe in all that crap u read. Weather changes!!! Always has, always will. Ain't nothing we can do about it. We didn't cause it, we can't fix it. So, now u know. lol Grin and bear it.
When i got home with Jude yesterday, i just set the carrier down and opened it outside. Got kinda worried later when he wasn't out there. He did finally show up about 2 hours late. He gets in his cool spot, and stays. Anyway, he's fine. Cats are like elephants, they NEVER forget. So next time i need to take him somewhere, i will still have to be sneaky about it. Sneakier, probably, lol.
DD sure hate to see ur swamp drying up, taking with it all the little things that have lived there. Plus all the things that water there. So sad.
Told the Hermit that when i read that story today, about the rapist, I LOL,,,God forgive me. Hope the old lady did too!!! She musta been one hot mama. hahahahaha
Almost lunch time, and i have 1/2 of that left over pork chop, yummmmm. I'll try to put the recipe here, making it short. Buy 1/2 to 3/4" rib cut, bone in. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, little bit of sugar (for browning) on one side. Put into cold pan, (i had poured out oil, but didn't wash pan, so had the pan oiled), turn on med heat, cook a few mins on each side, reduce heat to low, cover, cook til done. That's it!!,,,Was sooo juicy. Let me know if u try it, and how it turns out.
Ok, chop calling,,,yall tc

Memory Lane
LOLOLOL,,,DD, I don't remember having a slinky, but we didn't have many toys. We played games mostly, instead. BUT, my kids had them, and I played with them then!! lololol It was kinda good to be so young, when we were having our kids. Loved playing with them, and I sure enjoyed the kids as teens. Am i the only one to ever say that?? hahahaha. I think we might have been the only parents that had our teen age sons and their friends going with us to do things, but,,,,motocross races, drag races, boat races, a day at the mall? On their birthdays, they got to pick the events and eating place for the day, in Austin. My youngest always picked Burger King,,,lololol. The other, Poncho's all u could eat Mexican food. WE liked Luby's with all the different choices for everybody. And nearly always, my bro B was with us too. He was just 4 years older and the boys adored him.
One time, i took my dotter and her friend to Austin to do school shopping. Got there and she realized her leather bracelet with her name on it, was gone. We looked everywhere in the car, and didn't find it. Nothing to do but go on with the day. LONG DAY! lol, 2 teen girls shopping for clothes. Half way home, later, on the highway, i slammed on the brakes, and turned around, went back, and OMG,,,there that bracelet was, laying there in the middle of the highway, been run over all day, but,,,there it was!! Unreal huh? She had cracked the window and thrown out gum paper on the way TO Austin, and the bracelet somehow went out too. Gosh, hadn't thot about that in years.
DD, not pigs in Ns garden. They really tear up things rooting around. Have had them in my yard. She told me later she had seen a rabbit in there once, and it had run out in the corner, but she couldn't see how. lol,,,but wasn't a rabbit digging things up, either. She's ready to shoot a neighbor's goat if it shows up eating her flowers and stuff in the yard.,,Like it did another neighbors. Maybe he'll get it first. She said would be a bar b q. One of B's friends always won the World Championship Goat cook off. Used to have it in Brady, not sure where, now. B has the secret sauce recipe.
Got this pork chop cooking like i saw to do in a book. See if it's as good as supposed to be. Have to guess when it's done, don't have a thermometer. Never used one, so,,,,If it's not done, i'll cook a little longer. That's my way.

Ramblins
Not getting motivated any more to do these. At least on a daily basis. Rather than become boring, i'm gonna just post when i have something to post about. Like a lot of the others i keep up with. DDs and Hermits are never boring, still laughing over the 'dead' possum. And maybe it's just me, not feeling good yet.
Got up way too early today, after hearing on scanner about a fight on a boat and one getting thrown overboard. The wife of the one thrown out, was pounding on a door, telling them she needed help. Didn't find out til later how SHE made it to shore. She jumped out when the boat died. Seems as tho the water was just waist deep there where it happened, and they both had waded out. but not to the same place. He was found ok. By then,,i just got up. Now i need a nap.
Bro, B, came by and cut a big limb off my roof. Had been there for a long time. He sure had a hard time with it getting hung on others. But finally it fell off. About a 5" diameter limb,,broke several months ago then we had that bad wind. Gosh, gonna have to water some of my trees. Gotta have those. There's one little chinaberry tree came up out behind my store room, about 3 years ago. I've never put a drop of water on it, and it's thriving. Explain that!! I can't. Even the hackberrys look a little limp. And they are tough.
N called earlier and said something had gotten into their garden and dug up the potatoes and onions. I asked how anything could have gotten in, but she hadn't looked very good to see. Had to be an armadillo, dug under the fence. The veges weren't eaten, just dug up. she was going back to look a little better. lol C was working on the boat, thinking he might have figured out why it won't start. Have to catch up with them later. Guess she hasn't seen any more gray snakes. (Leave em alone!) lol I told her, "u know which 4 are the poison ones, that the only ones to worry about!" and none are gray.
Nap time, bb when i'm back.

Fresh Eggs Coming........
Hey all, realized late yesterday that i hadn't done a post, so just left it at that. I am getting a little better daily. This is what i've always called a head cold, just takes a while to go away. Got a cough today, and i guess i'm gonna have to continue the cough med.
Gosh, don't know why i can't sleep. Did it again last nite. Makes 3 now. Not sleeping at nite, makes me need a nap during the afternoon, an endless cycle. It will end on it's own, nothing i can do to speed it up.
Sitting on da porch with the Hermit this morning,,,reading all the facts, etc, which i love, then the postings to it. Had to laugh about everybody talking about USA as being the whole North American continent.
Just cooked some low salt ramen for lunch. Had some chicken fajita meat in the freezer, to add to it. Just sounded good today. Should get 2 meals from it.
Feeling lite headed, but took my bp, was 107/74, so not that. Was low when i went to see the doc, and she told me to keep an eye on it. Taking the meds for it, and losing weight fast , i will have to watch it. N just told me everybody has this "stuff", whatever it is. She's gonna bring me some eggs, but not gonna come in, lololol,,,i told her to knock and run. lmaoooo. She called a couple of days ago, asking what was a gray snake. Told her it was probably a racer, and leave it alone. lol,,,She had run to get her shovel but it had run off. I told her they would chase u sometimes, and she said any time one did that, was gonna be a dead one!!! She had been running a sprinkler and that had attracted it, not the water, but the insects it brings. They have a well, and are gonna put a pump into the river to use too.
Gotta take Hey Jude and get his update for physical and rabies. Next week will do, tho. Got the card yesterday. Too much rabies around now to ever ignore that. I have to get the carrier out and set in here, to let him get used to it. That way he won't run and hide. hahahahaha, well, maybe. Fancy always thot if she couldn't see u, u couldn't see her, and i always took her in a nylon bag. She was fine, invisible. Would unzip and she would stick her head up, big eyed, and never move while the vet did his thing. Way back, i would just throw 3 in my car, take them, and get them out one by one. They would laugh, because no one else had ever done that. The cats just made themselves at home, didn't mind the ride.
Don't know if we will have fire works or not on the 4th. Paper today said Austin and surrounding area wouldn't. Makes sense to me. They do ours on the side of the river, going out over it, so not much danger there, and for a small town, it's a really good display. When my youngest son was born, middle of June, we were in an horrible heat spell, like 110-112, for weeks. Back then all we had was an huge water cooler that did no good, running that hot water thru the pipes to it. (Right now, don't need hot water heater). Anyway, i would load up the kids and just ride around in our air conditioned car during the worst of the afternoon trying to keep my new baby cool. Did that for about 2 weeks before the weather changed. So now, seeing the 100 not too bad. lol And we were acclimated to it back then, and could get outside in the shaded yard as needed, but NOT heat that hi.
Blogger still messed up, won't publish this unless i go thru edit posts at the top. Still can't come back and add anything either. Can't post to DDs blog, and on Hermit's today, had to do it twice, wouldn't work first time.
Yall have a good day,,,
