It's Tuesday? Are You Sure?
I tried to change this font, and it didn't work. Was gonna make it a little bigger, but,,,, Went thru all the steps to do it, then,,,get here and it's not changed. If i do it above, it's TOO big. OOO What to do?,,what to do? Now it'll bug me til i get it done. I can spend hours, days, doing something like this, then i finally call for help. lololol. Well, won't for this, but i mean stuff on the puter. Found it's the quickest way to get a problem fixed.
Heard rain when i woke up this morning,,lasted a whole 2 minutes. But it did get my paper package wet. The carrier always puts them in a plastic bag, so the paper itself is never wet. Nothing of interest today, who cares about Dr Murray, and the OK earthquake is still undecided what caused it. They say all the drilling didn't. lololol. The fracking stuff.
Today is just a good day to finish my book. Found a couple more James Lee Burke ones i hadn't read. The Dave Robicheaux ones, set in Louissssianna. Had read them all, but in the few years since, there's some new ones. Mentions zydeco music,,,which i LOVE. Mentioned it one time and they had never heard of it, and this was supposedly a music connoisseur. There was a band that used to come out of Austin and play at a bar in Marble Falls. Really good one.,,,Then they always have one at the crawfish open here in April. What was the name of the one way back, did cajun music? Jim Kershaw? Liked him too, still have an album of his. Butterbean couldn't understand how i wasn't into country, i think,,but WTH wants to hear that depressing cry in ur beer stuff? Give me something with a beat, makes me MOVE. Aaaaiiiieeeeeeeeee
Well, got music, books covered...hahahahaha,,nothing to say. Told ya,, just type that first word,,,it just takes on a life of it's own. See how far i got from,,,what day is it? lmaoo... know you can do it too, soo,,,get on that keyboard.
Sure miss all yall, taking all this time off. And i don't think Hermit ever reads my comments, cause i catch his blog lots later than the others., Anyway, Hermit,,i'm there every day to enjoy. Just wanted you to know that.
Bye yall,,,HAGD

Guess What I Have
Don’t know if I should keep carrying my camera around in this bag or not. lololol. I’ve always kept my poker change in one too. Sorry about the blur,,really wasn’t a bottle in there. hahaha
This is what I saw facing me when I got out to Ns house. Had been an 8 point one, and one shoulder was ruined, not there.
This is the finished product,,,a couple of hours later. All bagged, marked, ready for freezer. I brought one home with me, will be cooked TODAY!
Been doing this since wayyyyy back, when I was first married. We lived on venison for a long time. Illegal ones,,but,,we went out and got one when we needed the meat. I still love it. I learned way back then, how to cut one up.
When I was cutting on something, this little black thingy showed up, sticking out a little bit. I showed N, and then, I kinda pulled on it,,then when I pulled harder, it came out,,,it was a thorn! about an inch long. OMG,,,never had seen something like that. No telling how long it had been there. I was just amazed! Have no idea what part I was cutting, think the shoulder. When something like that is in somebody, it will eventually just go away, so this one hadn’t been there all that long.
With weather like this, today, I should be outside, if nothing else, reading or something. Got my oatmeal ready, not gonna cook the venison til later. Gonna cook half that bag, which will do me for at least 2 meals. N kinda divided it up to make one meal for them. That was a really big buck, but that meat was so tender, like a spike. You could tell. The knives had been sharpened really good, but still, it was tender meat we cut.
Talked to that niece yesterday, twice, lol. When I first called, they were at a Chunky Cheese with a big bunch of kids, doing something, so we talked later. Planning on going over to Goldthwaite, to visit when they come down in a couple of weeks. That’s about 60 miles from here, within a day’s drive.
You know, I never did see hunters around this time. Just don’t know what to think. Saw more late yesterday, leaving, than any other time. Just didn’t have em this year. Unreal!
Ok, enough rambling,,,

Daylight Saving Time,, Leave Us Alone!!!
How'd yall make it this morning?,, Gosh, i was up an hour earlier! Got my last clock set a while ago. It's the bird one, i look up from here, to see. Think i got the bird sounds right. I got this for my Mom one time, long ago when they first came out, knew she'd love it. My niece called from High Island, saying she had found the perfect gift for Granma,,,that clock! hahahaha,,,I told her i already had gotten one for her...Beat her to it. She couldn't believe it, hahahaha. After Mom passed away, i brought it home with me.
She's the one that can, and has, give you a perfect gift, and it is always just for you. With 3 little girls now, she doesn't have time to make things like she used to, but still can pick up some little something that is just right. I lugged her around all the time, when she was little. One time we were in Austin, and drove by a huge church, and she said,,,oooo,,,,there's a Jesus house. It had the stained glass windows and that's how she knew. lololol. Her mom told her, after a bath one time, to come on and get her drawers on,,she laughed and said,,,those aren't drawers, those are panties. Mom said, you can call them drawers sometimes if you want to,,Her answer? Does that mean i can call my dresses closets? I'm gonna call that girl today,,,Miss her terribly. She and her hubby teach up there at Lake Worth. If i were able i would drive up there and visit, they are always telling me to come. They have a bedroom and bath, just for me. lol.
Well, got my oatmeal cooked, cooling now. AND,,,dishes done. lol. Getting around that hour earlier. The way i adjust is,, i just don't think about it, i look at the time, and that's what it is. So, i'll go to bed tonite like always, at 10, lay there and not go to sleep, but,,,hahahaha, after a few nites, i will. How do yall adjust? Got any good ideas?
I looked up the nearest places i could get new glasses, and no matter which way i go, it's about 60 miles. That's the Lencrafters, Eyemasters, etc. Not sure if i will get new frames, these are just about 3 years old, still really good, but maybe, if i find some i like the looks of. Also, not sure when i will go. I never make plans,,gotta be spur of the moment. I'll probably go on 71, to Bee Cave. The other choice is Cedar Park., on 29.
When i was out and about yesterday, it's still not the hunters around. I drove by the processing place, and ,,,nothing there! Maybe the ranchers have just priced themselves out of a living. I know that's the main income for them. (Used to do tax work for a CPA). So many around here are selling off their places, and then it's being turned into these little parcels of a few acres. Who can blame them,,they can't afford to keep them up any more. Then you bring in something like this disaster, the drought, and bam. they're ruined. Some sell off what they have to, cattle, keeping a few for now. But, they have to feed and water them. So, that won't last long. Only thing that will help,,is rain. Something we all need to pray for.
Ok,,Yall HAGD

Just Aint Here
Dug out leftovers for lunch, yuk. Little bit of chili, 1/2 of a bar b q bun. Still trying to think of SOMETHING that sounds good to eat. Late yesterday, bacon and eggs did sound good, but didn't want to wait to cook them. lol. Anybody have any ideas? Cmon,,tell me something. Limited choices here on take out, or dining out. Overrun with barbq places. After this bun, might not want that for a year! hahahaha Good thing i've got an iron stomach.
Been changing clocks since i got up. Now i don't know what the real time is. Mercy. Every time i look, i have to think,,,did i set that one or not? MAIN one is on my coffee pot. Just set it, now do i need that little red dot by the 12, or not? Wow, a window just popped up with the clock on it, for this laptop. How neat is that? Said it would reset tonite.
Found a new blog, well ,,for me,, to follow,,Occupation of Independence. Why i'm so late today, was reading back on it. First, he said he was alone,,no dogs, no nothing, then,,he has 2!,,Gonna try to find where he changed his mind and came up with them. Curious now.
Ok,,yall tc, and of course,

Ok, let's see, now what is going on?,, O yeah,,the day before. I'm going out later and get some pics for yall, gets really interesting around here about 5 pm. Streets clogged, stores swamped. Well, that's how it's always been before, so we'll see for this year. I'll be taking my life in my hands,,you know. I'll definitely have that seat belt fastened,,,lololol,,, i put a clip on it, and lay it over my shoulder to look like i'm using it most of the time. But,,i will fasten it today!
I felt sorry for little Jude last nite, so i decided to let him stay in. Not that he wanted to, but he's getting
"OLD",,loll Hobo,, and it was gonna freeze. Well, he got on the bed by my feet, and stayed good, until i had to get up, then here he came, just had to go eat a few bites. OK,,so, he can stay in the front of the house, no problem. HA,,I get back in bed, all covered up, comfortable, and,,MEOWWWW,,,MEOWWW,,,at the door. I think, well, won't print what i think, but thot he would shut up eventually,,,HUH!! I kick that cover off, get up and open the door, and the flash goes thru. We both get settled again, and are good, til the next time,,,same thing. Only this time, i make him come back with me. This goes on all nite, til i'm up at 7;30, and when he runs to the outside door, I think,,gosh, colder now than all nite, and he's wanting out. Well, out he goes. I go back to bed. Now, i remember why he stays out. lololol. When i got up later, here he came running, wanting back in. Silly cat! He stays under the house, and it's warm enough under there for him. Enough heat seeps thru the floor to keep it that way, and that's why i've never had any pipes freeze. I'm surprised i've never had other things stay under there. Like skunks! I went traipsing out early one morning, and just about stepped on one going around the corner, surprised it as much as me, and we both ran different directions. lololol. Now, where did i see that mixture that takes that stuff off? Knew i should have written it down. Wasn't tomato juice.
Ok,,yall tc,, and ,,,HAGD

And, the Way It Is
Tomorrow is THE big day,,,If you don't need to get out, then you don't! It's THE day before deer season opens. And this town is the deer capital of TX,,,used to say "of the world". lol. But anyway, it's a total mad house in town, hunters everywhere, and THEY have the right of way, no matter where, what, when, so you are taking your life in your hands if you get out there. LOLOLOOL I will, just for yall, and take pics to prove what i'm saying. I used to tell my home health ladies, i had to be home right after lunch, not driving on the highway later. You DO NOT try to go to the store, there's no parking spaces. And of course, they've jacked the prices up. Tomorrow nite is the deer hunter's ball, started way back when we had the ol Rambling Rose here. It's still in the same building but now it's the home of turkey sausage, Inman's Kitchen.
BB, wish i had thot to get some of that for you, when you were at Inks. Have you ever tried it? You just wrap a slice of bread around it, eat with onion. yummmm.
Gosh, still haven't done the darn dishes! I do them once a day, and there they are. lololol,,,now i'm hungry for that turkey sausage!!! hahahaha.
My bro G is leaving today, to go to his place up by Menard,,,can you imagine, leaving here, to go there, to hunt? hahahaha,,,But he will be taking some of that turkey sausage. It's not HUNTING any more anyway. It's killing the ones you've lured there by feeding them a long time. How can people do that? Feed them for months, sit in a stand and wait for them to come eat??? NO WAY. They have learned to go to the feeders when they hear them go off. To me, it's murder. Not sporting.
We don't have quite as many hunters now, with the economy like it is, and it costs a LOT. That one little ol white tail deer will cost you an arm and a leg. Most of them aren't here to hunt anyway, they're here to party.
Ok, doing dishes time, lunch time,,yall
