I think i found out why my eml files won't open now. They're from OE which i don't have any more, and win 7 won't do them. Don't know if there's a fix to this or not. I was supposed to transfer from OE to Win Live Mail, while i still had it. Now, who knew that? I sure didn't. Maybe i can get a tech sometime and check it out. Supposed to be a chat help online. Not gonna get into it now tho. And all i was wanting to do was to put one on here,,,how to give a cat a bath. One of the best of all. Sooo, if anybody has that, please send it to me.
The bbq was great! B cooked some steaks and pork chops, but those chops were MY choice. Had lots of sides. I got full too fast,,,lololol. wanted more. There was washer tournys too. Then all the younger ones went down to the river. I got home just before dark. Was a great time.
This new neighbor next door has this long greasy hair,,,well, he did. (And there's nothing wrong with long hair, if it's taken care of) I heard all this yelling yesterday, thot they were fighting, but,,,he had managed to get that hair hung in a pulley or something on his trailer. It had rolled it up to his head. And there he stood, bent over with his head against it. One woman came out with scissors, and couldn't get it done, then the other one tried, no luck. They called EMS, so the ambulance, fire trucks, cops, all showed up. One of the ems finally got the hair cut loose. Was a lot gone. lmao. When i left to go to Ns, he was sitting on the back porch getting the rest cut off. That whole group is weird. I don't associate.
DD was talking about how he liked to talk to people. I've always loved to hear the stories from the older generations. Like, my x father in law,,lived like a hermit out on the ranch, but how i wish i had recorded the stories he told. This is just one,,,,The first settlers settled there, where this ranch is, and of course, there were Indians that would raid their crops, livestock, etc. The Indians would leave for the winter season and go South. Comanches, i think. One year, there were no crops, so there was no food for the winter coming up. The Indians loaded up and left. BUT,,they came back with food for the settlers to last them thru the winter! On a bank of the creek there were still prints of where the tepees had been. There is still an old cemetery, surrounded with an old iron fence, a log cabin, and out in a pasture, 2 granite grave stones, one with German names and dates. There's also a family cemetery too. The man that my son took for the ride in the GTO owns that now. It's on the river of course. There were lots of stories about the fil too,,,lololol,,like,,he would get on his tractor and come to town to go to the bars.
I think a nap is calling,,so yall tc, and

My Travels,,,lol
On a ranch about 9 miles E of town.
The only ones I know are the red/white faced ones are herefords. Don’t know the black or the white ones. (2 of the white). They always have them separated like this too. I went past them and turned around and went back to get the pics. Had meant to do it a lot of times, just never had. I’ll try to get a pic of the oreo ones out W of town… Maybe today. Going out that way to Ns for the bbq. IF I can cross the slab, might have to use the other road.
I did get that dreaded trip to Walmart over with. Just got in the car and did it. I picked up this 2 bowl set, big ones, with lids that I’ve needed for a long time, and later, way over in the grocery part, I found this set of 6!!! with lids for the same price. A whole rack of them, why there I don’t know, but yeah, I put the other one there and got the 6 pc set. Now I wish I had gotten a couple of more for gifts,,,at 4.50 a set.
Got back about 6;30 and J had a couple of his cars up at Inman’s Kitchen for a car show, so I went by there, just barely caught some of the Blue Grass music before they quit. BUT,,I did get my laugh for the month,,, J took this man for a ride in his 72 GTO, and I left too. In a minute I’m hearing,,an older model yellow car is doing donuts in front of Coopers,,(was Inmans) then,,,(I’m dialing my phone) reading off classic car plates,,,ooo no,,,he’s not answering,,, have him at the city limits,,,almost hit this van when he took off at the light, went sideways,,,etc,,, (didn’t,,the tracks were straight for about 40 yards,,) I went back and waited at Inmans. They finally show up, and I have to start laughing,,they were too. The van was being driven by an off duty cop,,,hahahahaha. (who’d a thot?) So his friend,,the one on duty,,kinda had to give him a ticket,,for improper take off, with the other one standing there. Couldn’t get his speed,,(over 100 just for a sec.) He told her to come by after she got off and take it for a drive,,she said,,oooo noo way. lolololol Made that man’s day,,,hahahaha
This is the rain gauge I’ve wanted forever. Had one out there when I moved here, but the holder thingys broke, and the stump disappeared. Now,,bring on that rain! And I don’t know where it is now.
My mower man came by and mowed today. Maybe it will last a while. Well, that means heat,,sooo, hope NOT. I need to spray some more round up,,got some more of those burr things that are horrible. Stick in the bottom of your shoes, get all in the house. They just showed up around here a few years ago. Have little purple flowers,,don’t know what they are. The burrs come apart when they dry out.
Hey,,,it’s noon, better do ,,uh,,,ummm,,well,,,something,, yall tc, and

Dum de Dum de..............
Got nothing to say today either. Slept really late, 9:30, so i'm way behind. Just got the shower, and dishes done. I needed to go to Marble Falls, BUT, not gonna. Can't go tomorrow, it's a bbq out at sis Ns house. Her dotter's graduation party. She graduates on the 25th, and is leaving the 26th to go to Houston, stay with her dad til her school starts. It's a 2 year school, but don't ask me the name, kinda a prep for later, college. She wants to find a summer job. Gonna leave N all alone,,lol. Big change.
Reading MsBs blog today, i had to laugh,,sry,,,,She saw this little something in her laundry? house, thot it could be a snake. In case yall don't know it,,,a cat will darn sure let you know if there's a snake around. They smell GOOD! and a snake smells. Their hair will stand straight out, and they'll be sniffing,,backing up,,crouching and running away. I saw mine do that and i did look, just didn't move that stuff in the corner,,,where the rattlesnake was. That was in my laundry room too, just inside the back door, so i spent a whole nite with that thing in my house. Somewhere back in one of my blogs, i told this. Wellll, maybe i didn't,,,can't find it. I found it the next day, in the living room. We both froze, and i almost picked it up, but there was just something about those black stripes on it's tail that made me hesitate. Later bro B told me the diamonds don't show up til they're about 2 years old. There was nothing close i could grab, then it ran under my chair, so i flipped it over, and it went into a corner and curled up. I finally could reach one of those long lighter things on the mantel, so i squished it's head. Raked it into a trash can and took it out. It was about 18" long and just had a button.
My son J got a call once, from a wrecking yard here, that he had found a baby rattler. J went to get it, and it was maybe 12" long, and had swallowed a mouse, and couldn't move. Back then, he didn't have a camera like now, so he didn't even think about taking a pic before he skinned it out. Said it took forever, it was so small. About the size of a pencil.
OK enough about snakes,,,lololol. And all i wanted to say was,,,cats make good guards. hahaahaha. Jude was sniffing and looking under my sofa one time, so i moved it,,(see, i learned) and there was that gopher that the other one had let get away. Well, Jude took off running, the coward. Didn't say anything about protecting you, just alerting.....lmao Had this little mouse in here one time, and Jude always showed me where it was, under the fridge mostly, and he would try to catch that. But when i caught 2 on sticky paper, he ran. hahahahaha.
Ever had a cat get on that? hahahaha ,,,I did one time, knew exactly what she had done when i heard this gawdawful commotion going on. Finally caught up with her on top of a chest of drawers, and used the oil to get it off. Was sure glad J had told me about that. Who reads directions? In case yall need to know, that paper WORKS! And i did have it behind something,,,she was just snooping.
Wow, 1 pm,,gonna be a short day, and yeaaaaaaa,,, Phillip made the cut last nite on Idol. The other 2 do have the voices, but,,,he has that special X factor,,looks like a young Steve McQueen too.

O Gosh, Hump Day Already
Today being Wed.,,i'm due a drug delivery, and it's almost 11:30 and it's not here yet. Do i call to be sure it's coming? They are almost always here before 11. The worst thing, i used the last this morning, my Spiriva. Guess i'll give it a little more time, then call.
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
Well, i seem to be back to normal,,whatever that is. Don't know why i felt lousy the last 2 days, but really glad it's gone.
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
