River Pictures

This slab is called Scott's Slab, about 10 miles West, the first one to cross the river. This first one i'm just getting on it.

The only place the water goes under. 

Looking ahead after just getting on it, past the flowing water going under.

Upriver.

This was built a couple or so of years ago, as a resort. Didn't make it. Called Walden's Plantation.

I was on my way to my sister's house, just a few miles on. She was painting the outside of her house, and all. The weather was so nice and i really enjoyed being out.

There's a lot going on here this weekend. A first for here is the rock stacking contest,,, lol yeah, that's right. Our river runs over granite, with sand. I tried to get a pic on here from facebook, but won't work. They can stack rocks in circles, arcs, lots of things. Amazing. Maybe later i can find one to use.

Had begun to think my injection into my hip wasn't gonna work, and for 3 days it didn't. But today, i'm thinking, maybe. If it hadn't i was ready for surgery! O yeah, my son's is on the 30th, in Austin early in the morning. Not sure how i'm gonna handle it, if i can even go, is what i mean. I know i can't drive, well not going to. I'm sure liking that bus service.

Been a While

So much to catch up with.

Got out there to the sleep study, son drove me, and i thot i did good. Next morning was getting icy and they shut down school. I waited, and waited for that bus to pick me up, and it never showed! Called my son, no answer, even called the sheriff's dept. for a ride home. Finally thot of my youngest bro, and YES,, he came and got me,,, was 10 or so by then. I didn't know those buses didn't run if the school buses didn't. They tried to call me but never got me. I gave them my cell phone # after that.

Saw my doc, and he didn't have the results for that or the echo thingy, and he had everybody looking, didn't find them. THEN, when i heard back, he wants me to do it again, wearing that CPAP all nite, didn't get enough info from the first one. Didn't say anything about the heart echo and i know he got it, my heart doc's office faxed it to him, and released it so all could see, even my regular doc here.

Ok, yall confused yet?

My hip hurts so bad, sitting, standing, walking, that i went to that doc too. He talked to the pain doc and got me worked in for Tuesday the 10th. When i had called, was told in April. I can make it til then,,, lol.

Rode that bus to one of the doc apts, the seats are not comfortable, and it took a lot of extra time, picking up and delivering others. Was my fault tho, i had oked it. Won't any more. The worst thing was i was starving.

If there was school Tues, the bus couldn't take me. School has priority, (they pay). We have spring break so i'm good.

OOO yeah!!! Lung doc told me he didn't see anything indicating i had COPD!! Took me off Spiriva, told me i didn't have to use oxygen, just the albuterol inhaler when needed. That's after every test on my lungs, known to man....WOOOOOHOOOOO.

So sick of appointments. I'm late on eye exam, mammogram, and i think maybe other. I let stuff go because of the above.

Now you know why i haven't done a blog post...but yall tc, and

Whew, lots to do

Told you i had pics,,

Had to get these 2, a couple of weeks ago, there was a line of 5 or 6 squeezed together. Didn't have my camera in, was in the car.

Then some of the work being done in the river bed, removing sand above the dam, gonna take a while,, lol, (long time). They had to make that small stream to let the water through from upriver, the dam up there that is letting a small amount flow down stream, then here, it goes through a flood gate at the far side.

Those piles above are the beginning, maybe a million more to go,,, lol.

My sleep study is Sunday nite.They're saying maybe ice, etc, that nite. I've been watching the weather. The driver of the HOP bus that will pick me up Monday morning is supposed to call me today. Guess i'll go from there. On hwy 71E i think it will be fine, no bridges to amount to anything. Need to get this over with.

Not sure if i put this on here from Valentine's Day, but so pretty. From my daughter and bf.

The prop i have this laptop on keeps letting my hand or something change the font size, to LARGE. Have to stop and change it back. On facebook, i saw these things made out of plastic pipe, and one was a stand for a laptop. Painted too. Made a good one. Mine cost like, 20..00.  Gave instructions too. Gosh, might have to look that up.

My hip bothers me a lot, but i don't think that therapy was helping, in fact, it made it worse. It hurts when i sit, then walk. Whatever is in there gets pressed on and it makes it hurt. I wiggle around trying to find a spot it doesn't.

PS: OOO Wow, found a lot of pics that i had forgotten about, taken 2-3 years ago, off somewhere. I opened up this new app on this, OneDrive, and it has them!! I put them on my blog way back, pics i took driving around one time. Dry lake, spring flowers, cattle.

Also today, i put some programs on that this didn't come with, like Word, Office, think that's where that OneDrive came from. They are free, but you have to find and install them.

Might not ever know what all this new pc has, lol... and the strange thing, i find old stuff when i log into things. Of mine. Like pictures, bookmarks, email, everything.

OOOO MERCY

So many settings to do, but, i did get my printer going. Gosh, don't know how, it's wireless, and my nephew did it on the old one. But somehow, i got it.

Still lol about BB finding the bookmarks too. It even has the "import from firefox", so those are there too.

DAMDAMDAM, just lost half this post.

I still can't get one game site to download, and i use it every day. I'll work on it later.

BB, not gonna take any pics of this laptop, nothing different. Just the name, Acer.

This doesn't have Windows picture program, nor movie. Maybe have to look for those later. I put on Picasa but don't really like it.

WOW, installed google chrome and it has ALL my bookmarks from, well, forever, even from firefox. Thot i was gonna have to put everything back, but it's there....

It came with Internet Explorer as the only browser.

 That just made my day, lol.

OK back to other things, like maybe getting my printer done.... yall tc, and

Good News

My new laptop will be here tomorrow!,, Might be days before I get back here, lol. I've done a lot with this one, and it's a good one for how old it is. I updated, cleaned, lol, updates were like 92,,i put them on and left for the day. It's not too slow, just at times. It has win7 so it's not really old. Did find out I won't have a 15".

I'm so sick of appointments! When I get these next 2 done, I still have to make more. The sleep study is Sunday nite, then the lung doc, is 3-2.  After those, gotta get a late mammogram, and a late eye check done. My eyes are lots better since I started using allergy drops.

I have pics I'm not gonna put on til I get the new lt going. The city is dredging out the river, getting rid of sand so it'll hold more water above the dam. Took some of that yesterday. Got other things too.

A friend told me how good those Smart Ones frozen lasagna dinners were, and YES, really good. Just ate one of the chicken enchiladas, which are super. I loaded up at Walmart and liked to have not gotten them all in my freezer. Got a bag of sweet potato fries too, but haven't cooked any yet. I think maybe all of that brand are excellent.

Got a call a bit ago, from Fed Ex, saying that puter will be here tomorrow, and need a signature. Didn't say what time of day, sooooo,,, have to wait til is shows up.

Well, yall tc, and

Update

Took that hp back,, had 15 days. Then I ordered the Acer 17" with windows 7! NEW!! Walmart has them. I did talk to my repairman, and he was gonna get started on mine today. I told him I had ordered a new one, and didn't want to have to spend an arm and leg to repair it. Guess i'll find out.

BB sure would like it if you found and bought property here...:))). The Rio Llano has big creeks, river frontage, no restrictions. Did you look at those? I would have bought a place there if my house had sold in a reasonable time, way back there. Had one picked out. The housing market went kaput, and didn't sell it for years.

I owner financed it with a large down payment, to a new lawyer in town. She made the payments for a few years, then just quit when her husband left her. Try getting a lawyer out.... HA. Had to hire one myself, and not one here would do it. Took about 8 months, had to go to court, to get her out. Her brother had come from somewhere way north, took her back and put her in a mental illness place. She filed lawsuits on everybody that did anything for her, lol, even me. I didn't tell her how to fix the leaking roof. The judge dismissed them all. Got it back after MY lawyer charged me MORE than he had said, with the excuse of:  I changed my mind!! That's how my younger brother got it. He paid me off with a loan. Still lives there. lol, To him it was like buying his home, there so much growing up.

I tried to buy a battery pack for my camera, (telling on myself) and the sales lady said they didn't carry them. Then she told me most people didn't need it, because they could charge the cameras. Well, DUH, it hit me, yeah,, I had a charger and even knew where it was. Just never have been into cameras, pictures. Did videos mostly, and the tapes were in the stolen things out of my store rooms. My memories. And I know they just threw them away. Really is bad, because they had a lot of my youngest son that I lost when he was 16.
