A Little Catch-Up

Gosh, these are getting harder and harder, nothing to say. 

Those 3 teens around the fires all the time in Kingsland, were picked up and questioned, and there hasn't been any since.  Kinda tells you right there,,doesn't it?

The gate is still up on Salem St, but it HAS to be taken down.  The city keeps stalling on telling the owner that.  Now the mayor has turned it over to another man to tell him,,lolololol.  It will be done,,,Better watch out for us "Troubles",,  lolol.

G and I went out to Ns late yesterday and just sat around and visited for a while.  He helped her move her dryer out to replace the vent hose thingy.  She had to crawl over the washer and get behind it to do it, after it was pulled out.  Tight space.  But, it got done, and he adjusted the sliding doors too.  She never knew they could be done.  It's in a mobile home.  She had had a couple of watermelon vines come up, and got 2 off them.  This last one was yellow, and i ate a little,,soooo good.  Her okra is just getting started.

 I know how good that home grown stuff is, but it was never worth it to me.  And truth be known,,it probably costs more to grow it.  You can get good produce in the summer everywhere.  I learned the hard way, BUT i sure learned.  So yall can have your gardens,,i'll find a road side vendor.  lol.  After i don't know how many years, i can eat all the tomatoes i want now.  Without the tongue ulcers.  Need to find some more.

Well, yall tc, and

I Want a Cold Front NOW

I can't believe that heat in OK, and the fires with it....Horrible.  How can fire fighters work in that?  I sure feel for em.  Yeah, i gripe about the heat here, but, nothing like that.  Well, 10 degrees difference.  I know in just a few weeks, we can possibly have cooler temps.

Way back, when the kids were young, we had a COLD front hit on Labor Day weekend.  I can remember because it was the last day the swimming pool was open, and the kids just HAD to go,,,,,They were the only ones there and had to stay in the warm water, froze when they got out.  lololol.  It did keep the temp in the 60s that day.  Hard to imagine right now,,huh?

Got that possible hurricane heading West,,which is being watched.  Way back when i think it was Carla  hit the coast, we even had evacuees here, lots of em.  Got some of the wind and rain too.  Early 60s?  (I go way back,,,lololol).  I know how bad they are, but we central Texans sure hope for some relief during the season,,,sorry DD.

I was telling Js g/f about a time when he was gonna get his first pellet gun for Christmas, and he walked up on us paying for it in the store..  That was the worst thing he ever had to do, wait til Christmas, knowing what he was getting!  lollolol.  He had wanted one so bad, for so long,,and there it was, but,,,,,about a 2 month wait.  He never wanted to know again.

How can they be getting all that rain out in AZ?   Send it HERE!

Addictions

Just reading about Harbor Freight addictions,,well, i have a Lowe's or Home Depot one.  Just can't pass up looking at those sales when they come in the paper.  That's how i got my front door, you know,,saw one i loved,,at a price i could NOT pass up.  Sis N took me over to get it, and it just sat in my house for a while,,,Cost an arm and a leg to get them installed, (yeah,,,THEM,,couldn't NOT get a new storm door too)  but that door was a bargain.  Somewhere back on one of my posts,,i put the pics up. 

That's also how i got the vanity in my bathroom,, darn flyers,,, It was on sale at a bargain price,,,who thinks about that plumber you're gonna have to hire at that time?  Sure looks good in there,,,tho,,, The plumber did ask,,who set that other one in?,,,hahahahaha,,,told him B and i did.  Heck, it worked!

So,, i need to pass those thangs up when i see one yelling at me to look,,,burn em.  Ask the paper to leave em out....

No word from Js doc,,yet.  Yall tc, and

Is this Thursday?,,,

Had a miserable nite, got up feeling like i had had a beating.  I'm never gonna stay here and wait again.  J got the MRI done, not sure when he'll hear from it.  It was being sent to his doc then. 

Heat's here til the weekend.  And i think we still have that African dust too.  Just saw on FB where my G/dotter's ac is out.  Never fails to do that in the worst of the summer.  Not sure if it's fixable or not.,,,Surely it is.

You either watch Olympics or turn the tv off.  Mine's off.  Just need the quiet sometimes.  Fixing to eat some oatmeal, maybe nap a little, and read.  Almost thru with my book.

Not Much Today

Forgot i hadn't done this,,,  Too much on my mind right now.  Just found out Js MRI is in the morning at 8:30 in Fredericksburg,, don't know when he'll find out the results.  I think his Doc is there on Fridays.

I did get everything done that could be done for the insurance.  Now, it's wait.  If we find out he has to have surgery soon, i'll call them and see if it can be effective by 9-1.  IF HE CAN WAIT THAT LONG!

Sorry, just can't function today, so yall tc, and

Dog Days Here

The dog days are here.  And will be thru August, i'm sure.  100+.  My yard got mowed this morning,,bet it will last a while now.  No rain.    Our river has slowed down enough to get us back on restricted water use.  But who knows, it could be a hurricane that comes thru here.  Happens sometimes.

J just told me his back is giving him major problems, and i told him to call and see if his doc would see him as an emergency.  He's done it before.  I have this paperwork ready to go, so i told him i'd get it faxed, and a copy mailed.  He's going to bed with ice.  When this happens, his left leg, sometimes the whole side, starts trying to shut down.  So now i'm waiting to hear back from him.

He just called, his doc is gonna schedule an MRI and call him back.  

Just not in the mood to write now.  Will try to get back later and let you know about all this.

Bright Red Monday,,, (Hot)

http://www.google.com/help/maps/streetview/gallery.html#

I've been playing around with this for a while,, not sure what i'm doing. lol.  I did get on a virtual tour in the parks in CA.. Really fascinating.  I can go there,,right here,,,,and drive thru twisting and turning to look.

Got out and did a couple of errands already.  Got the $Store trip done.  In to stay.  I never left the house yesterday.

Got the outside water cleaned out and replaced too.  It's kinda under the crepe myrtle and gets the falling blooms in it.  When i opened the door for Jude late yesterday,,he kept looking, and stopping, to the left of my door like something was there.  I need to check that out.  Like to never got him to come by there.  So he has either seen something there, or it was there.  He finally took off fast and ran in...lololol.  But that was after all the looking and sniffing.  Heck, could be a grasshopper, been seeing them lately.  Never know about him,,but i sure learned to look!!!  After the rattlesnake in my house.

I've about quit using this laptop in the front of the house.  The battery doesn't have a long life, and i kept letting it run down.  It will say, low battery, and in a few seconds, it's gone.  Seems that way.  I didn't look out that much anyway. 

Anybody watching the Olympics?  I 'm not, but i do listen when they're talking about a few things,,like swimming. 

J was the swimmer,, always.  Had to have him take lessons at 4,,before he drowned himself.  Had NO fear of water, ever.  The next summer, first day, he ran down to midway of the pool and jumped in,,,FORGOT he could swim!!  About the 3rd time he came up, i asked the life guard to get him...lol... He'd climb up the ladder to the high board and jump off.  He was still small, and thot he had to wear flippers so here he went,,flippers and all, up that ladder, flopping out to the end and jumping.  The life guard would be there, waiting, trying to stay out of the way,,,lol.

Later, he was on the swimming team, and was really good.  But he never understood that in the races, his time was what mattered, not being way ahead of everybody.  I have a pic of the team, and he's on the front row, on his knees, looking to his right at his now gf...they were both on it.  She was his gf then too.

I watched a 3 hour movie last nite.  Don't like to do that.  I'm having a hard time finding ones to record, tho. 

Ok,,i'm boring yall enough, so tc, and
