Got a slow start this morning but we have nothing in particular to do or accomplish so we are sitting here in our recliners, sipping the last of our coffee and chatting. Brad and I talk all the time. About all sorts of stuff. I love it when he gets in gear remembering incidents fromContinue reading “Enjoying Our Saturday Morning”

It’s RED Friday, Remember Everyone Deployed
While we go through our busy days let’s stop and remember our deployed men and women of the United States Military on RED Friday. We owe them much and they need our support. Not much to report on the home front. Still feeling a bit tired from the massage and chiropractic adjustment on Wednesday. WeContinue reading “It’s RED Friday, Remember Everyone Deployed”
The Texas I Love
I’ve never been much of a city girl. I grew up in a small town near Red River in East Texas and when I got married I moved to a rural area about five miles from the town where I grew up. Dallas is the closest big city and I rarely go there. Sometimes it’sContinue reading “The Texas I Love”
The Terminex Dude, Running Errands and Dodging Mask Karens
As I was preparing to leave the house to run errands this morning I heard the driveway alarm go off. Brad had left earlier for a breakfast date with a buddy of his who is a Texas Game Warden so I couldn’t figure out who it might be. I peeked out the window in theContinue reading “The Terminex Dude, Running Errands and Dodging Mask Karens”
Irrational People
I started out my day yesterday with a follow up appointment with the urologist. I did well getting up to the office including walking up the stairs to the second floor because one of the elevators is still on the blink and there were a dozen people waiting for the elevator. I wasn’t even outContinue reading “Irrational People”
Switching Gears
I have three pairs of socks ready to turn the heels and my hands are telling me I need a break from the size 2mm needles so I’m working on Gabriel’s Summer Blanket for the next few days. I have three skeins of this yarn and two other colorways, same yarn, same company. After finallyContinue reading “Switching Gears”
Happy Independence Day Ya’ll
Today we are celebrating the founding of our great country and remembering our ancestors who helped to secure our freedom from oppression and tyranny. I had ancestors who helped chase the Red Coats back across the pond where they belong, as did my husband. Every generation has sons and/or daughters who have served this greatContinue reading “Happy Independence Day Ya’ll”
Family Plans for Independence Day
Some of my best memories are from spending July 4th at the Blankenship farm with Brad and his family. His younger sisters loved planning and setting off fireworks. After his parents had passed away we still spent the holiday with his sisters at the farm. After the youngest sister passed away we sort of lostContinue reading “Family Plans for Independence Day”
“Less Rain For The Next Few Days”
The best the weatherman can do for us is ‘Less rain in the next few days’ so we have that going for us. It’s still too wet to mow and we haven’t even heard from our lawn guys. Hopefully there are some lawns that they are able to mow even when a bit damp unlikeContinue reading ““Less Rain For The Next Few Days””
Memorial Day
Today we remember and honor those who paid the ultimate price and gave their lives for our country. Those currently serving and our military veterans have all lost comrades in arms and together we will make sure that those who came home under flag draped coffins will not be forgotten. Today we remember. Today weContinue reading “Memorial Day”
