Good early morn myne fyne waltripynes!
Spring back or fall forward, back when we had to give a cat an insulin shot every 12 hours for 7 years, daylight savings time sure threw a kink into things. Guess the problem was overthinking the problem. Well no matter, Libbey has crossed the rainbow bridge some years back, and time means nothing to her.
As for the photo of the basket ball team, the onliest (east texas for only) one I recognasize is Charles! Maybe Rod King in there, but thats doing so without me eyeglasses! But I recognasize Charles anytime anywhere! Ben Vandenboshe? Mind conjuring up a blank on that one. and I'm sure a swell fellow he!
Pat? You cant go wrong with a Cannon camera! They make the best in photo equipment. I have had 6 nikons, and still have them, but they are FILM cameras, and are virtually of no use anymore. Hard to find someone to develope hard film these days, and the digital pictures are better and easier to work with. Took all my NIKON equip to camera exchange to see what they would allow for trade or cash money...$225.00 is all, for equipment that cost, at one time, in excess of 5K...Advanced technology is good sometimes, and sometimes not!
I, and a lot of folks I know, have Cannon EOS T2i's and or T3i and other models of the EOS REBEL. The T2i is very user friendly, mostly. I've sort of given up on photography due to failing eyesight. Back when I could see, these cameras would a been great. You can do so much with these new cameras and your picture program in your computer. You can crop and fix red eye and change exposure and color saturation etc...and the camera goes up to 6400 asa which allows for shots in low light without flash, which can ruin the mood of a picture.
Go on line to CANNON and you can see which one you like. I think I bought mine at Best Buy in a package with two lens and camera bag and whatever else it had for about 1k dollars. The prices have come down somewhat on the older models and up on the newer models. Check also with COSTCO, as they have just about the best prices on everything. For example, a blanket at Costco was 15.99 and same blanket at Bed Bath and beyond was 30 dollars. Near as I can figure, costco must be stealing them to give such a good price.
Oh, you can also get Cannon printers, my nephew, a pro photographer, says cannon printers are the best.
Yes, the Clays mini reonion was a goodun. Still not a lot of folks, but mostly the regular fudds guys and gals. and then some. Saw a couple of new faces, and didnot get to talk to them either. Didnt recognize their names, and now of course cant recollect the names at all.
Went to my sawbones, Ol Doc Holliday last week. Called on a Tuesday, expecting to probably wait for an appointment the following week, and wouldnt you know it, got one the same day, and only an hour and a half after I called. What the heck is up with that? The whole idea of calling for an appointment is so you can get better whilst waiting for the appointment to roll around, and not have to go at all! Jeeze, no wonder he's retiring!
I guess we're settled in to the rental cottage. Still have to go on a scavenger hunt when we think of something we need...like winter clothes! DUH! ! ! ! ! I found my sweat shirts, which IS my winter wardrobe, that and my jackets...I just love jackets and coats and hats and gloves and boots...well, clothes in general, but some more so than others!
Had to go to storage and bring our 17th century iron bed back to the cottage. We have separated...gone our separate ways...departed from one and other...well, one of us snores and one of us thrashes about, add that to the cats jumping on and off the bed, neither one can get any sleep. I try to stay up till at least midnight, so I can sleep a few hours in the wee small hours of the morn, but rarely make it past nine. Diane's the same way. All she has to do is sit down and pick up something to read, and she is cuttin z s almost immediately! What the heck happened to our youte?
Of course I'm up at 1:30 or round abouts thereof. This morning I have washed a load of clothes, dryed and folded same. Washed dishes, made a pot of coffee, drank same! Had an organic free range Honey Bun! Now, tippy typing on my commodore 64!
Got Four cats around me, two at my feet keeping them warm and one in my lap and one lapping over the keyboard with his tail. So I guess I have the warmest place to be. Checked the thermostat, and it says 67 inside. Dont know how to turn on the heater, cause the stat just says AC, and I certainly wouldnt want to burn the house down cause I didnt know what I was doing. Gonna get Jordans Air out and have them check it out. That ol boy Ha that is the field foreman, walks on water as far as I'm concerned. He is the best AC/Heating man in the whirld!
Nothing new on the new home. TOO MUCH RAIN! ! ! We couldnt buy rain in the last 5 years, and now we get 5 years worth in 5 days. This house aint never gonna git built!
Been a couple of beautiful days, and Sunday, today, is gonna be another. Thought about going to the Lone Star bike rally down in Galveston, but think I'll just remember the ones I went to in the past! Think I'll play hooky from church and sleep in...Probably by the time church rolls around, I might be sleepy. Then, when Diane gets home from church, go to Cajun Town for lunch! Best seafood place on the planet! The cook use to cook for Papadeaus, and it shows!
Wow, outside temp is 45 ! ! ! Can snow be far behind? Oh no, we'll be snowed in...oh the humanity! As my dad use to say, when it started getting cold, "it's snowing in Conroe", and I believed him too!
Hmmm, cats have all shuffled about, moved on...dang, I thought something was wrong, I'm freezing! ! ! ! Tha ingrates! I'd get back in the warm bed, cept I'd just thrash about, toss and turn etc...
Ok, time to sign off! "What so soon"? yeah yeah yeah, I know...well, it gets lonesome by yourself at 3 am, so you all are elected to be my best friends! No way to go wrong there!
Keep the sun at your six, well, not at 3 am, but later on when the lazy sol decides to getup, and ride boldly ride...
your frien and brother-in-classmate...freezing man
