That DD is gone again!! Must not have wanted to get into that rain. hahahaha Everybody knows the story of THAT,, the rain that wasn't. And BBs gonna stay where he is, and who can blame him? If i were mobile like those 2, i sure wouldn't be in TX now. I would make a good snow bird.
My fav niece and family traveled all over the NW ,,,for 38 days. She's the one that sent me a pic with her having a heavy jacket on, from the Glacier Nat'l Park. And, her sis that lives here, took pics of 2 lemurs that are living out there by them. About 10 miles out. And my sis, N, said her neighbor had seen some out there by them, too. Can just see us getting overrun by lemurs. N had been seeing the lion prints, and then C actually saw it one morning when he left for work. Think i've told ya, u just never know what u'll see around this river.
Just had breakfast, brunch. It's sitting like a lump in my stomach. lol,,,Was just a boiled egg, toast, and bacon. Not sure whether i need more fill or not. Just wait and see, no hurry.
Gosh, couldn't sleep last nite, so i got up about 12, and read. lolol,,,That book is hard to put down. I'm still on the Joe Pickett series. #5, i think. Hate to finish all of them, what will i find to read then?
No plans as usual for the week end. Don't even need to go to the grocery store.
Hearing on my scanner about a woman being found on the floor, and not knowing how long she had been there. I worked for a woman and her son that was severely disabled, just 2 blocks from me. Had known them for years and years, and she was kinda getting alzheimers too. I went by 2 or 3 times a week, doing my job. I was told to go by on a Mon, but then was called and told to go to another place that day. So it was Tuesday when i went there, and there were 3 papers in front, that i always picked up and took in, (Not 3 tho). She didn't lock her doors, so i opened it and called, going on in. I heard her saying something, and her son was in his recliner, twisting and turning, while i went on down the hall to hear what she was saying. She was in the bathroom, and i peeked around the door, and saw her legs in the floor. She had fallen between the commode and bath tub, and couldn't get up. Had been there for days, and her son, JE, had been in that chair too, he couldn't walk without help. Another son lived just up the block and i had seen his truck so knew he was home. I called him, then the company. The company said i should have called the ems, but i told them NO, her son could make that decision, and he came right on. He couldn't get her up either, and in the meantime, i made JE some sandwiches which he gobbled down, was so hungry. And then while they all left for the hospital with her, i cleaned JE up, got him fed and clean. She ended up staying in the hospital for about 2 weeks, with a kidney infection. But then they put both of them in a nursing home in another town, where one of her dotters worked. Was ideal, and JE loved it. What i never understood, was that the older son drove by every day and those papers were out there, the porch lite and dining room, kitchen lites were on all that time, and he NEVER STOPPED and checked on them!!! Nor called!! To me, that's so sad.

Just Where did Weathermen Learn Forcasting????
I looked into those kindle, nook things, and do NOT want one. I also looked on amazon for the free ap, but didn't find it. But thx for the info, sel. I think i missed it, maybe it will be back some time. I didn't like the 6" size, gosh, how much of a page would u get? Didn't like the 10.00 price tag for books. Sooooo,,,library, here i come.
River flow today: J=38 M=25 L=8 And no rain heading this way. Don't know why i EVER watch the weathermen. My son says he can tell more about weather by just watching insects, ants, etc. Over the years, he's gotten pretty accurate. He told me yesterday, he wasn't putting any faith in rain coming. Then today, weathermen agreeing with him, lololo.
Gosh, tried to eat a small rib eye for supper last nite. After 3 bites, that was it. Took an hour to get over that. It stopped me up, and i finally gagged part of it back up. I cut small bites, and chewed a lot, but steak is just one thing i can't eat now. Never wanted anything else to eat, either. Ate a yogurt before bed and that was it. Had a scrambled egg, 1 piece of toast, and 3 slices of bacon for breakfast, brunch today. Took a long time, but got it all down. I had bought pre-cooked bacon, and,,,it's good! If i buy raw, it will ruin before i ever get it all cooked. So this way, no waste.
O Gosh, showing mexican food on tv. HA, got a frozen dinner. lmaoo I picked up a few of those just for times i need a quickie meal. They're NOT good, but,,,,serves the purpose. I can eat anything, not picky. Found that out when i went thru the CNA training and school, in a nursing home. Ate their lunches, and I, for one, found them really good. I get hungry for things like cabbage, and can't cook a head of that just for me, so never do it. Also, squash. Like that any way it's cooked. Okra, too. lol,,,Glad i've already eaten.
Need to get up and get in the shower. It's Friday,,,hahahahaha. Have my hot water heater turned off. Don't need it, with the water so hot coming out of the faucet.
Yall have a good week end.

Yada Yada, all About My Job History,,,Sorta
SS about my blog yesterday. Blogger does that sometimes, just loses it, not saving into draft stage. When that's happened, i've taken the time to redo, but not gonna anymore.
DD, keep atrucking. Maybe u will make it home in time for the storms, woooohoooo. I can't wait. Here we will get rain too, don't know how much. Hope it hits on up the coast a little. I remember Carla, way back about 1960, not sure what year. We had refugees here, was the first time i had seen that. Then we got the wind and rain. Would love a rain thing like that.
I stayed in all day yesterday. Never left the house. Was tired, and wanted to stay cool. Besides, i have a good book,,,lololol. I'm still reading on the series about Joe Pickett. Great books. Hard to put down. When i couldn't sleep last nite, i was up reading it. Took a unisom, and maybe it helped. lol, Not sure about that either. My dotter got one of those nook readers. I'm gonna look into them. She said there's lots of books u can get free. Not gonna get into one where i have to buy books. I have the library! lol, I've used that since i was in about the 4th grade. I was doing volunteer work in it, when all the kids had finally started school and i had lots of time. The librarian told everybody i could do twice the work in 1/2 the time as anybody else. lololol,,,One she told that to, ended up asking if i would come to work for them, her hubby being a new CPA in town. And, i did. Numbers were my thing, so his double entry bookkeeping system was easy to learn. I used that for lots of years, in other jobs here. The last one i had learned to use a computer for it, and that company's books were in horrible shape. OMG,,,the woman that had done them, had no idea how to balance anything!! Took me a long time, but i finally got them in good shape, found 1000s of dollars of mistakes too. When i went for the interview for the job, i was asked if i knew computers,,,yes,,had just finished classes. Did i know how to file insurance claims,,,yes, had worked in insurance doing that too. Did i get along with old people,,,,yes, had worked in home health care.. Next ?,,,when could i start? hahahahaha They had a new computer sitting there, never been touched. ahahahaha. The "old people" was one woman that had been there forever, was in her 80s, and did NOT like change. It was gonna be the ruin of the business, using that computer, but she sure liked it when i printed out the balances owed on the hundreds of accounts, just by clicking a button. Could update them daily. Stupid me, i started right at the end of March, just in time to do the weekly payroll, the monthly mail outs of 100s of bills, and the end of a quarter! I went home the first day, not gonna go back. But, i did. The billing was all done on a typewriter!!!!, The owner's wife helped me, or there would not have been any done that month. There were about 500 small accounts, then about 300 notes, with monthly payments. I worked like crazy for the next month, getting all of that into the computer. When i printed them all out, i had to go thru them all by hand, and separate the notes, from the other. Using the program i had, it wouldn't separate them. Quick books. I was there about a year and a half, and had just gotten all of those balanced. Found one account with a 5000.00 error. Boss just said, OMG. Then he had to call them and tell them,,,but THEY KNEW. They sure hadn't corrected it.
About time for my late lunch. Gonna look into those book thingys. They had a segment on the news just now, comparing them. Kimble, Nook, Kobo, and others. They're all about the same price. Will see what consumer reports have to say.

Thx for ur Prayers
We had the memorial service this morning at 10. It was in the little baptist church we all grew up in, and it was filled to the brim. The church members had a huge dinner waiting when it was over, so there was all kinds of eats, desserts, friendship, and visiting. We had quite a few out of town kin come, and with all of us here, that nearly filled the church to start with.
She had wanted to be cremated, (me too), so we actually didn't have to have anything to do with a funeral home. That makes it so much better. Anyway, it's done, and now we can all start to mend. For some, it's a long road. Been there, done that.
Had to laugh tho, about BB fixing up a snowmobile!!!,,,To bring here????,,,Surely not. I could barely walk from my car into a building yesterday and today, that sun is so hot on u. I went into my bro's house yesterday, talking about the heat, and my niece in there, said, yeah, it's 111. Cool today, just 106.
River flow today: J=39 M=25 L=10....Way up here. lol,,,
I went out and laid my water hose under a couple of trees on Sunday, my one day a week. Kinda hesitated because i think the river will finally dry up, and we won't be able to water at all, so, it's like, what's the use?,,,

Local Fire This Morning
J=42 M=27 L=3
Making one of those cold salads with noodles thingys. Should mix up some jello too. Anything cold with a meal, and i can't do lettuce, so has to be something else. I still have about 1/2 of that last cantaloupe.
Woke up about 5 this morning and heard a cop looking for the source of smoke. When she found it, was the local cabinet shop, and in a minute was fully engulfed. I had gone to the bathroom and looked out and saw my bro G leaving. He's one of the volunteer firefighters. Doesn't go to very many any more, kinda semi retired.
OOOO,,, Got that pasta salad made, not getting up for a long time!!! I will NEVER buy cheap paper towels any more, either. I put one in the bottom of my strainer and the darned thing came apart, so i will probably be eating towel too. Yummmm. As long as i don't see it, won't hurt me, lol. Says rinse with cold water. HA Water from the faucet is HOT. And i mean HOT.
Went out and drove by the burnt building, total loss. It was fully engulfed before the fire dept was toned out, tho. Huge building. Also stopped at a couple of garage sales. Got my g/dotter some rocks, lololol, she's the only person i ever saw that bought rocks. And found a big plastic thing to put water in outside. About 5" deep, perfect. Threw in some wood blocks so birds could get to it too. I had looked for a kiddie pool yesterday and the $ store was sold out. No one had better tell me i can't water animals and birds.
Have some stuffed green peppers just getting done. ohhhhh, smells so good. Hope my salad is at least cool by now. I think i told you, i quit eating breakfast so i'm really getting hungry now. Guess i'll catch yall tomorrow. HAGD
