An Almost Rain

Almost,,,,got rain yesterday,,a few big drops did hit the ground.  Smelled wonderful!,,Another chance today.  It was 103 when the clouds moved in, got a great cool down.

I'm not getting out much, with the heat.  I was out when the clouds came tho.  I stopped by the Hut and got a tuna sw,,just wanted something cold.  It was good too.  I told her she better be prepared, i was telling everybody about that burger,,,lololol.. Son said he couldn't eat it all either.  Here i am with my stroganoff, and eating out.  Guess what i'm having for lunch?,,,lol.  That's why i hate to cook,, having leftovers i get too tired of.

Got some yearly paperwork yesterday,,,that i just stopped and did later.  Got it all done in about an hour,,thru for another year.  Wasn't anything on tv, so,,, And later, i put a movie in,,and had seen it,, fast forwarded thru it,,and guess what?,,seen that one too.  Watched it anyway.  Told you, i can't remember names.  Darn Lifetime,,and Hallmark,,get some new ones!!

My ustream petespond,,place has been out for a few days.  I really miss it,,love watching all those African animals coming to that pond.  I know it will finally be fixed,  surely...Saw that on their facebook.

No more than i have to write on these blogs,, i might just start saying,,hi, bye... But anyway, yall tc, and

Dum de dum

Woke up about 7, couldn't get back to sleep....hope that's not becoming a habit.  I tell everybody i take my nap before i get up,,lol.  Well, works for me.

I'm getting tired of no tv shows on.  Missing all my regulars.  Not sure when the Olympics will be over, but gosh,,enough is enough. 

Did i tell you about the hamburger i got yesterday at a new little food trailer?  Biggest one i've ever seen!  The patty was an inch thick and big too, on a big sesame seed bun.  My mouth wouldn't even open enough to take a bite of the whole thing.  Had to have a 1/2 lb of meat on it.  Got about 1/2 down, still have the other 1/2.  It came with chips and watermelon.

Not doing anything,,nothing to say, so yall tc, and

Feet Aches

Gosh, waking up too early, for me.  I'm talking about when i can't go back to sleep, like 7 AM!  My coffee pot is set to turn on at 7:30,,  I try to doze back off, but last 2 days, been getting up about 7:45..... My feet are sore from hurting last nite.  I wonder,,,(DD) if there's anything i can do about them,  I take something for it, but sometimes they still hurt.  Anybody have any ideas?  And, i don't know what i do to make them hurt worse either.

I'm re-reading some of the Clan of the Cave Bear books.  It's been so long, i don't remember them and i have #3, 4, and 5.  About a year ago,,she published the last one she said.  I read it, but, decided to go back and read the older ones again.  My SIL had them, so i haven't been to the library in quite a while.  I could never use a Kindle,,,like i told my dotter, because i can't ever remember what i've read by name.  I put a tiny mark in the library ones,,,(ssshhhh).  lol...

I'll be so glad when these )(*&&^$%^) elections are over!  I HATE politics.  I will read the summaries of each one running, and decide who i want to vote for, just before the elections.  That's all i need, don't need all this TV stuff, newspaper stuff, etc.  And never talk politics to me,,you will never change my mind, and i refuse to argue about it.

This idiot in Austin tried to vacuum out a hive of bees from under the eaves of his house....lollololol,,,Ended up in the hospital.   Had to call a professional to get them.   Do any of yall eat Fain's Honey?,,,It's made here, and goes back decades.  So if there's a stray hive, they will come and get it.  A long time ago, there was a huge oak tree in the park with a hive in it.  Not there now and i don't know what happened.

My dad tried that,,,lol..Having a few bee hives.  He had the suit, but didn't use it and never got stung.  One of his many enterprises,,,lololol.

Hello,,,,Monday!

Just got back from the store,, if i'm gonna make hamburger helper again, i needed hamburger,,, About out of milk too.  Wasn't too bad out there.  I got burned out on that too, so haven't made it in years.  Lots of new flavors now.  Stroganoff is the one i'm doing today, tho.

I've been wanting to call SS (Niece, for BB),, and was so surprised when my phone rang and it was her!.. I had just talked to J,,,thot it was him calling back.  They sold the house in Lake Worth, and now are getting into the other one.  She was painting in a couple of rooms..  Said she wasn't sure where lots of things were, had moved in fits and starts...  Her wrist was hurting, and i think i have carpal tunnel and i DO have to wear a wrist brace sometimes.  Anyway, i told her to wear one, will definitely help.  You can still use  your hand ,,, fingers, just can't bend that wrist part.  She said she had one,,somewhere,,,maybe she knew.  lololol.  Better quit talking about her,,gave her this blog address again...

Some woman here in town called in yesterday, 911, cause she had a snake in her bathroom,,,lol.  Said it was long and skinny.  Guess they found it, i never heard anything else.  Or she moved out,,hahahahaha.
By taking your eyes off it, it would hide, come out later.

About time to find something for lunch.  Yall tc, and

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
