Just a Little Bit

Like everybody, I guess, nothing going on,,,seems nothing to say.  The pelicans are still at the park, which I find so amazing. 

Hadn't heard from J all morning, finally called, and he's still having bad trouble.  This cold has really hurt him, and he's not getting sleep cause of the pain.  Then now he said there's no water out there.  So he's coming here.  His appointment is Fri. morning, so he'll be able to find out more of what's going on.  I told him to write all his questions down so he won't miss any... I have to.

I know the doc has told him it'll be about 4 months with these spasms, and it's been 2 1/2.  But they are severe and his feet lose feeling between the med  he takes for it.

Well, that's it,,,not much more than nothing.   So, tc,  and

Couldn’t Believe My Eyes

 

I got out to the park a couple of days ago, and saw this all white rock, and not one turtle on it.  I have never seen these pelicans here before.  Just while I was sitting there watching them more groups kept flying in and landing up the river from these.  Too far for my camera, but had to be between 60-80 by the time I quit seeing them coming.  After a while most of them flew on down to the dam, and landed just below it.  WOW! 

I went back yesterday and they were still there.  Like I’ve always said, you never know what you’ll see in this river.  Bro B said he was walking down the road from his house, which is in a pasture, and it was night time a few weeks ago, and he heard this noise that put the hair up on his neck,,and he went home!  Said it sounded like some kind of big cat.  The house is the last one in the city limits, and just 1/2 block from the river.  And yeah, we know there are such things around…N sees them regularly.

My dotter here in town, blocks from me, has 2 great horned owls there a lot.  There’s a huge creek by her and it’s been left in the wild, all grown up.  One just sat there in the top of a tree and watched me the other day.  I hear them from the river, over the hill from me.

We raised one one time.  Went home one nite and he was walking around on the street, under a street lite, eating crickets…lololol.  Most fascinating thing we ever raised.

Well, folks,,that’s it. Yall tc, and

How to Save Blogs to Documents

At the right where it shows the year, right click on it, then clic on save target as,,,, you will get a window to give a name to the file, then it will save into documents.  Or mine did, was really easy this time. 

When I took my friend S some chili, she insisted I take some turkey and dressing, black eyed peas, and some kind of cabbage stuff.  Loved the trade.  Had that for supper, so I still have most of my pot of chili.  Cmon, DD,,, lol.

That's it, yall, so tc, and

OMG!! Made it Another Year,,,

Besides that, I feel like I can make it another one,,,lol.

Whew, got my pot of deer chili on,, took a while.  Had to cut the meat up smaller, chop all the onions, get it all together in the pot... Just in time for this little front that came in a while ago.

I didn't have TOO much trouble figuring out how to save all my 2012 posts, so I got that done too.  I put the 2011 on a flash drive, and will do the same with these.  For some reason, it left off Jan. 2012 so I had to add that one month by itself.  They are all in documents ready to put on the flash drive now.

OK,,now,,my welcoming in the New Year,,,lol.  I sure didn't plan on it.  My bro B hosted the annual 100.00 entry poker game at his house,  and NO, I didn't play, but did go "observe",,, There were 8 to start with.  After a couple of hours, they started losing out, so when it got down to 5, someone asked if I wanted in, and so I did,,,started with 20.00,,,hahahaha,,,Guess I got the GOOD chair, cause I kept hitting winners.  I was probably up  a hundred before I started going down, but,,i just had to quit about 9, after all, i'm old,,don't do late nites any more,,,hahahaha.  It was so foggy I could barely see coming home, hated the thot of all the partyers out.  I watched some more of my movie,,lol, well, it's a 3 1/2 hour one,,,The Patriots, went to bed about 10.30.  Could NOT go to sleep, finally got back up at almost midnite, and finished my movie, AND ,,, heard the pops going off at midnite.  Knew i'd made it,,,it was officially 2013!  O yeah, I won 34.00.  My niece kept saying,,it's not fair...She had been way up til I started,,,lolololol.  I don't know how it turned out yet, haven't talked to any one today.

J has NOT brought me a plate of that pot roast he promised me!  After all, it was made by my instructions,,,

Ok,,it's that time,,,so,,,
                                                      HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hate This New Blogger

Liked to have never figured out how to add a few other blogs to my list.  Not even gonna try anything else today,,,

There was something I was gonna blog about, but now,,,who knows...

Did see some beautiful bird pics on one, reminded me my cardinals are gone.  Had a pair right outside my kitchen window for years, raised their young, etc.  Then one day, I came home and saw red feathers by the sidewalk.  They are gone and have been since then.  That was in the spring.  Jude continues to surprise me, never thot he could to that.  My martins took one look at their house with the roof almost blown off, and left, didn't come back.  It's impossible to lower it sooo,,,no more martins either.  There are mockingbirds, but for some reason, I don't have blue jays here.  BB has the green jays there.

There are a lot of different ducks out at the park.  The little round black ones are back.  Remember Hop a Long? lol.  Wish I knew if one of them is that one.

Rain rain rain today.   Bring it on, we soooo need it.  So far, just drizzle, maybe a little very lite rain.

I've looked at my deer chili recipe, and what ingredients I need, and to make it I need to make a trip to the grocery, of course.  Remember all those spices I threw away?  lol  I don't know if it's closing early today or not.

Don't know about yall, but NO new year's resolutions for me. Quit doing that a long time ago.  If I do, I do, and if I don't, that's ok, no guilt,,,

J was by yesterday, asking about making a pot roast, needing a pan.  I was telling him things I put in mine, and in the process of giving him the box with 1 package of onion soup mix, happened to look on it, and THERE IT WAS!  A pot roast recipe to make in a crock pot!  Yea... So all he got was the box and the 1 package...lol,,,he's not good about bringing things back.  Haven't heard today,,,and I was supposed to get some of it.  I did get to meet the little bearded dragon, which I just fell in love with.  It's about 12" long.  He gave his gf that for Christmas.  O yeah, was gonna look up how old it is by the length,,i hope.  Reminds me of horny toads.

Ok  folks,,be safe, want to see you all tomorrow.  TC, and

Some Local Scenery

How do you like this turkey?

I think J got just a little too close for this....

Isn't he/she beautiful?

lol,,,not this one...

 

My cousin and his oldest son came down from Sherman, Friday, to hunt.  Didn't get to go to the place they thot, due to a misunderstanding about when they were coming.  BUT, my sis N lives out W of town on the river, so they hunted there.  He was totally disgusted and ready to go home this morning, but his son wanted to hunt instead.  Got 2!  They had seen them the first day, but didn't get shots off.   They used to come down every year, but since he's not doing real well, just haven't.  He weighs about a 100 pounds, just doesn't look good.  Had to have surgery on his cardioid ? arteries and is still working,,,gets to retire in March.  His brother just had to have the same thing! 

 

We played poker last nite,,,and I never won one pot!  Since i'm not stupid, I quit and left them to it,,,lol.  That was my fun,, so yall tc, and

The Birds,,,,

Reading on another blog,,,about the little parakeet in the wild.  We were on our roof one time, during the summer, putting a new one on, and this little parakeet landed there by me, it's wings dragging, mouth open, panting,,so hot.  It let me pick it up and take it in the house to give it some water.  Well!! That bird sure suckered me in, let me tell you.  The next time I put my finger down to let it hop on, it bit the blood out!  Don't know why I didn't take it's head off right then,,,but,, I didn't.

 My dotter always loved those things.  Years later, I went into her house and heard this baby kitten meowing,,started looking everywhere.  HA!  It was that bird!  It had learned to meow...hahahahaha.

My feet were cold all day yesterday, well,  mostly.  So, today I have thick socks on, and good fleece clothes.  I hate to wear shoes with these socks but I do, even tho they're tight.  lol, Kick my shoes off as soon as I come in the door, and they're 1/2 a size larger too.

Doing another load of laundry today.  All these heavy clothes makes for more loads.  I went out to our new Alco yesterday, and bought 3 new tops, fleece ones, marked down 40 & 50%.  A long time ago, in Austin somewhere, I bought a wool jacket marked way down in Jan.  One of the linings in one sleeve was twisted, sewn in wrong.  I got them to almost give it to me, brought it home and fixed it.  I made my dotter's and my clothes so it was easy to fix it. 

I ordered her a pair of plain jeans one time, took the inseam apart, then sewed rick rack, different sizes, different colors, all over them, then sewed the inseam back up.  lol, This was the 70s,,,And I made her a pants suit, with a jacket.  On the back of the jacket, I embroidered Chicago,,all across the back, like on their album... 

Ok,,enough, yall tc, and
