A Day of Nothing,,,,

Well, this is the 3rd day of doing nothing,,I'm barely getting out of the house,  too darn hot.  I get out and do what has to be done, and that's it.  I might ride thru the park, or a few other places, but don't stop and enjoy now..

My mower man came by and almost woke me up this morning,,mowing,,lololol.  I was awake, just not up, wanting to go back to sleep.  It really wasn't that early, like 8, but i was still not wanting to get up.  Now it looks so good, and just in time for maybe some rain coming.  We just got put back on a burn ban.  This might be a year of zig zagging. I love the rain, so bring it on.   Taught my kids to love the lightening, not to be scared. Watch the beauty, and they still do.  I never made them afraid of anything, and if someone else did, i corrected it.  We all loved the monster movies, but i explained how they  used makeup to make them, and one time, it showed that on tv too.  So there were never nightmares.  Now,,my Dad loved to tell the kids scary stories just before bed time...but they loved it.  My Mom would come home from work, (nurse) and find a whole bedroom full of kids surrounding their bed.   The kids would beg him for more!

I had my g/dotter and a niece with me for the nite one time,,(always on Fri) and i would take them out to do things no one else did.  This time, i took them for a walk in the cemetery at nite.  My niece was holding on hard to my hand, and my g/dotter was skipping on ahead.  There was a scuffling noise and my niece squealed, and my g/dotter never slowed up, just said,,It's just a rabbit...My hand was numb,,,when we got thru..hahahahahaha. SS was one of these nieces, and her sister the other.  Right about the same age as g/dotter.

My bro G and i went to the city council meeting last nite.  They were gonna discuss whether to release the legal opinion on this gate thing to the public or not.  They will, but i don't have the copy yet, i left early.  I will let you know when i find out.  Gs gonna bring a copy by today.

BBL, i think, so yall tc, and

Boring Blogs

Hey DD, i remember way back when you said something about,,,you post what you think is a good post, and NO response,,then,,a so so one, and get comments.  I'm at that point right now.  I had no comments on yesterday's,,and i had thot it would have had a lot.  lolololol.  Shows you what i know, huh?  Guess they're as boring to everybody as they are to me.  And just to let everybody know, if i don't do one,,i'm just taking a break.  Not gonna waste my time doing boring blogs.

I went to the parade today, at 10am.  Maybe it's me, but it just wasn't a good one.  Lots of vehicles not even decorated, just signs on them.  A few horses, very few floats, and it lasted about an hour,,,of this.  It's the rodeo one, but the rodeo started last nite.  Makes no sense.  I parked in a place i could sit in my car, and about 1/2 way thru, i tried to leave, but,,i was blocked in.  Had to sit thru the whole thing.  I could pull out on the street then, and turn off and go around it.  I think my blood sugar got too low, so i ate as soon as i got home.

Well that's it,,, yall tc, and

No Where To Go, Nothing To Do

Hmmm, my electricity just went off, oops, now back.  Blinked 2 times, then stayed off about a minute.   Had to reset a few things,,,mainly my coffee pot, and the vcr.  Since i changed to battery operated clocks now,  not much to change.  Best thing i ever did.  lol.

How is it possible for there to be NOTHING on tv from tonite thru the whole week end.  I mean from 7 pm on.  I'm gonna record the Hatfields and McCoys tomorrow, but,,,nothing on today to even do that.

Went by my son's house late yesterday, and his dad said he'd be back in 8 minutes,,lol,,that's what he said.  Sooo,,, i wait.  They had fleas so bad, he was in the process of spraying the house,  (my son).  Just from one day to the next, they were there.  I'm knocking on wood,,so far i'm ok here.  I use the bombs.  I have to get them at the feed store, not the $Store, to kill eggs, larvae, and all.  They come 3 to a package, and i use 2 in the house, 1 under.  You can't believe all the dead bugs that turn up for a LONG time.  I know i didn't do it last year, didn't need to, and maybe not the year before.

Every time i see the tv programs like,,20/20, Dateline, etc, i remember one about a year ago,,,about a case over in Burnet County.  They featured it on one of those.  This couple came up with this bizarre idea for him to die.  They went to a cemetery, dug up the body of an old woman, put it in his car, wrecked it, and set it on fire.  Not much left.  He cut his hair, changed his looks, and went to Austin to live, she collected this huge insurance payoff that they had just taken out.  (Of course)...Sound like a soap opera?  There was NO suspicion for about a year.  Then someone called in saying they had seen them together in Austin.  They were telling their 2 kids that this was another man, not their dad.  Freaky, huh?  Well, with them  being so stupid, they got caught, and both went to prison.  And to think, they could have gotten away with it.  O yeah, the authorities did dig up a grave and found it empty, later, so they knew which one had been burned.  Maybe they told them.  Don't remember how they knew where to look, but they did.  How's that for your scary story for Friday?  loloolololol,,,I haven't tried to, but you might can find it on google.  

Well, that's all i got,,so yall tc, and

Couldn’t Resist

 

This is in the city limits, about a mile W of downtown.  It’s a development of sites with a few acres.  They’re just EVERYWHERE!….

The clouds around this morning, surprised me.  Yesterday we had a heat index of 104.  Today will be the same, later.  I’m not getting out except to do things I have to.  When I tried to refill the plastic thing I’ve used for water, it broke and leaked, so I did go to the $Store and get another one.  And I remembered to pick up a box after taking all these vases out from under my kitchen cabinet.  LOLOLOL,,about a dozen!  AND, threw some empty jars away,,,why do people keep those?  Hey, I have lots of room under there, now….

Well, heck, not much to expect on that front coming thru tonite.  A few degrees cooler, a little dryer,, a few percent chance of a shower.

I do have to get out later and go to the store.  Need milk,,lol.  That might be all, need to think about it.  Know I need trash bags, but didn’t remember that at the $Store.  There’s a HEB ad in today’s paper, maybe I should look in it.

J called, and they were just leaving Houston.  Said his back has been giving him fits, and will get back on the paperwork when he gets back.  About time.  I dread this surgery, but he can’t do without it.  I know he does too and has put it off as long as possible.

Almost noon, and I’ve already gotten my drugs.  She came early today.  Not gonna do anything today,,,well, as little as possible.  Overdid yesterday.  Yall tc, and

Seems Like Tuesday to Me

 

Everything has turned YELLOW!  Well, patches of red too.  Nearly got run over, so I thot I’d better quit on the pics….twice.  This county sure gave week end travelers a treat.  I would swear this is later than normal. 

I got up today knowing it was Tuesday,,,now explain that.  Holidays always mess me up.  One time when I was awake I felt something crawling across my back, and did I ever come up and turn a lite on!  Nothing.  Maybe it flew away.  I have a fly buzzing around right now that’s fixing to get a swatting!  One time when J was about 2,,I swatted a fly and he told me,,don’t spank that fly, that’s my fly.   lol.  And when they were about 3,,,N and J, they both ran into the bathroom, (4 months apart) and I heard him say,,"I’m a boy and you’re a girl, know why?”  Boy,,I had to hear this!!  “ I have to stand up to tt, and you have to sit down”  He called yesterday from Galveston, they were going to some museum.  Will be back tomorrow.  I’ve been so concerned about his back, and yes, it has given him problems, but he said it’s worth it.

Waffle time,,so yall tc, and

Thank You, all of You Vets!

Have no plans today.  We kinda did our "do" at Bs for supper last nite.  Gosh, he cooked rib eyes!  Melted in your mouth at that!  Haven't had a steak that good in,,well, forever.  He's always been into using seasonings.  He and my boys would get in my kitchen when they were kids, and dig thru all my seasonings, and see who could make the best burgers, chili, etc.  Lots of fries..,.lololol,,,I used a 6 quart iron dutch oven for frying and it stayed on the stove all the time.  Years later, i gave it to him for his own top of the stove.  lol.  He still uses it, too.

One time my youngest son decided he needed to lose a little weight, so he told me to cook just 1/2 the fries for him.  He signed up for FHA in school, and came home and dug thru the freezer, came out with broccoli with cheese sauce, and that was his breakfast,,,,(green=healthy).  Also would get a bowl of salad, but put most of a bottle of ranch dressing on it to eat.  BUT, he got his greens...lol.  Still miss him every day.

I got up just before 8 today!!!  Just thot i would, for some reason.  It was kinda late to go back to sleep.  And, got to thinking about that coffee waiting.  I keep looking thru my bed, but not finding anything.  Even wearing a loose slip on shoe yesterday, caused the top of the bite to rub off, so i've been putting neosporin on it.  It's the same thing i had on the back of my leg before.

There was all kinds of going-ons yesterday around town, but i didn't make it. Don't do heat.  I would have loved to go listen to the blue grass music on the square.  We used to have the festivals here, but i don't think we do now.  The park would be full of them.  For a whole week end.  There was an old car show too.  Lots of good looking cars, saw some when i went by, later.

Got my waffles ready, so yall tc, and
