Howdy mine waltripians, glad to see so many getting on the forum nowdays! Aint much fun when it's just me! Hey Rich LH, didnt enroll Jack in school this time. Maybe next time! Liz looking good, and sounding like fun!!! I know she has found a good home!!! Not much to report from the neighborhood patrol, except both sets of mommy ducks and all ducklinks doing fine! Older set about to strike out on their own!
Been to the ranch, and it's just as hot there, as it is here! Although ever now and again, a real cool breeze blows through, almost like fall! Took boys with us, and thought of a great Idea...took 6 tennis balls/dog tennis balls, all different colors! Had the idear of wearing the boys out by throwing them and letting them retrieve them! HA ! I threw the first one, and both bounded after it, and jack picked it up, after my "fetch it up" command. Then, "bring it here" I commanded, to which he promptly dropped it and came on back anyway, without said ball! So I threw the pink ball, to which they both bounded after, jack piced it up, and dropped it and came back! Hmmm So I'm finally down to the last one, the purple one, and he and Coop reluctantly run, or trot, or maybe just a fast walk, after it to which, they both peed on it and came on back! This just isnt working out at all! I'm glad the balls are different colors, cause now, the purple one can just stay there! I picked the rest of them up, and dumped them in the box with the rest of the toys the boys wont play with!
Filled their little wading pool with water, and they both layed in it and chilled for most of the day! They only came out to shake water on us when we sat down! Good dogs!!! That was last saturday! Went to our little country church in the city on Sunday! I always feel better when I go! Cant understand the preacher, but thats ok, I'm there!!! We had 31 people last sunday! Minister trying to figure out how to get more people to come! We all been trying that since the big split 30 or more years ago! Got a couple of things in the works, none of which involve kidnaping folks on their way to other churches! Got to look at new wireless equipment thanks to the stinking idiot maggot nazi government! They WANT the 700 megahertz cycle that all churches broadcast their microphones on, so I guess they can spy on us more!!! They keep taking more and more from us! Our system, a hodgepodge of junk, says it uses 175 hz to 800 Hz, but I cant find any adjustment on it! Oh well, another extra added expense the gestapo has dumped on us!
Keep adding names to our prayer list at church...all that have been mentioned before on the forum, and now my brother in law Jerry, had a kidney removed because of cancer, last friday. My stepdad Nelson, has colon cancer again after 20 years, and prostate cancer! they operated a month ago, and he was in the hospital for a month, but not a whole lot they can do as he is 92! He is a fighter though, a WWII Marine! My sons mother now has lung cancer and it has spread outside her lungs to lymph nodes! Docs say it doesnt look good, but she and boys have a positive outlook! But they are worried nonetheless! She will undergo chemo for...I dont remember how long, but she had her first last Wednesday! Seems to be doing ok! No ill side effects like DW had! She will continue to work as long as she can! she has her own hair salon called Finesse, on Memorial and Benignus!!!
The church secretary, Edith Clark, who had been the secretary for 38 years, died last week! She retired from the church about 10 years ago methinks! Lots of members fighting one thing or another. We dont have a lot of folks to spare! But I guess what ever happens, is supposed to!!
Brain sorta bummed out from all the illnesses suffered by all! I have gotten on the forum countless times to read and to report, but just too mind numbed to add anything, so I drop off!
Tried to find that talking mule of Leon Hales! Mrs Perrys wont talk to me at all! They do look at me as if they are listening! Some of the cattle come over and generally just stare! I even took a couple of apples to the mules, which they devoured, but nary a peep, not even a thank you!!! Well, I will keep trying! Put up a bird bath for, Red, the cardinal! And put out more seed for him! He is just gorgeous! Not shy either! Will sit on the table with us!! But, I believe i said this before, "we are not adopting him and taking him home"! besides he has a cousin that lives in our backyard, and his name is, oddly enough, Red!!! Go figure!!!
Almost went to Elmer Fudds tonight! I forgot, it was last week ! But my beloved reminded me! We are in the process of cleaning out the pantry! Threw away some old cans of cranberry sauce! expiration date was in the last century! I know some of yall have the same stuff way back in your pantries! Had some pet milk, expired in the last century! Got all the stuff spread out in the dinning room and everywhere else! Gotta get some shelf paper tomorrow! Gangs of fun!!! Got all my WTSHTF, cans of spam and cornbeef hash, tunafish, great northern beans, chili, rice, bisquick, sugar, oatmeal, tea, olives (I love queen spanish olives) and other goods stacked up! I have 25 pounds of coffee, just in case there is a shortage! And I read in the Wall Street Journal today, that there is one coming! The problem with preparing ahead, is finding storage, and of course things going bad! I generally buy the "kroger" brand stuff, it's just as good in many cases, as the named brand stuff, but not always!!!
14 year old girl next door, brought us her report card...4.44 average, the slacker!!! 100s in algebra II and Latin II etc...I couldnt be more proud of her if she were my own! What a delight she is! She and our grandson Taylor were an item, for about an hour, but seeing as how he lives in katy, theyre just good friends! Wouldnt mind having her for a grandaughter in law someday! But hopefully a friend always...
My youngest turned 40 today, er, yesterday the 15th! Today, the 16th is my 26th anniversary, and the 17th is my 65th birthday! Just doesnt seem possible! Seems like time just went by so fast!!! My son and his girlfriend are in Montana, trout fishing, courtesy of candy, his girlfriend! What a birthday to remember! they are staying with friends there that have azillion acres that a river runs through! He text me a picture of a 30 plus inch trout he caught, plus pics of the mountains with sunset and sunrise! He said it was 50 degrees there! I told him we werent too far from that here, just maybe 45 degrees... I said, "well, this is one thing you can cross off your bucket list", to which he replied, "that and seeing a moose up close"! Hmmm...strange boy...seeing a moose isnt exactly high on my list of anything, except for maybe keeping them out of the house, but you know me, ol dopey me! Glad Kevin is having a good time! His road has been a rough one the last couple of years!!!
Guess I will sign off for now...hopefully it doesnt "java script error" me!
your friend and brother Sweet tater beauregard DOD
