Thanks for the tip Beverly, I know I should stop and walk around, but I'm usually "hell bent" on getting from point A to point B and back to point A again. Old habbits are hard to break. If i'm headed east, I will stop at bucos, and on the way back, which is about 20 minutes from the hill. I think there should be a buccees every 30 miles on every roadway. Yeaah, that's the ticket.
I didnt know there were so many folks out there that suffered from back ailments. I thought I was the onliest (east texas for only) one. Went in to the Krogers at Fairfield, which is 30 minutes away, drove Dianes car, and did a little better, her seats have lumbar supports and HEATERS. I just spoil that woman dont I? Still some siatic pain, but not as bad as in my truck. Krogers has restaurant seating and a Starbucks. If I can get anyone of the morons at starbucks to wait on me, I'll sit and have coffe whilst the little woman shops.
I like the ftruk because it sits up high, and has one heck of a stout front, farm and ranch bumper, that should we be in a crash, I think we'd fare better., injury wise. Being obsessive compulsive and a depressed sort of individual, not by choice, I fret every minute I'm away from home. I'm not scared of anything, I just fret over NOT BEING AT HOME. I think I'm just going to stay home from now till either the angels or devil comes for me, whichever one gets here first. I may pass on the Christmas eve services, and just hold my own on the hill.
The Chappell Hill Christmas home tour was Saturday, and was a huge success, according to Diane and the CH Garden Club which was hosting it. Diane was a host or tour guide if you will, and even if you wont, at two of the homes up here. The morning home was in Bluebonnet Hills subdivision, and the nafteroon home was on Wonder Hill Road. The first home is owned by a retired Texas Ranger that is now the Constable up here.
On one of my many trips to Home Depot, I stopped by the first home to scope it out and take some coffee to Diane. It was as she described it, fabulous! It is over a hundred years old, and was moved off the Square in Bellville in 1982, to Chappell Hill. It was old, but beautiful, and even had a Christmas tree in every room. I didnt go upstairs, for obvious reasons, my stair climbin days is over. They even have an old house they moved from somewhere they use for a "mother in law" home. AND, they have a chicken coop with very noisy chickens. Well, not in the mother in laws home, but outside. I love to hear the rooster crow.
Didnt make it to the 2nd home, due to yet another project I've started, building a coffee table for the Coopers Memorial Ice House, , or Waltrip meeting and daince hall. I've moved the old leather love sofa and coffee table back into the house. I took the couch out of Dianes office and moved it into the living room, and put the coffee table with it as well. I took the love sofa from the icehouse and move it into dianes office. I took Coopers couch from the living room, and put it in the icehouse. So now I have to build a coffee table for the icehouse. (keeping score?)
You're probably thinking to yourself, "no wonder he has back problems" ! ! ! Yeah, I know, I just cant stop moving stuff around. I always find a better spot for things, like I've rearranged my closet and Little Miss closet yesterday. Yes, my cat has her own bedroom and closet, and the rest of the house belongs to the dogs except when Little Miss is on the prowl and disabuses them of the notion that ANYTHING belongs to them. I just love that kitty and she loves me!
I've gotten two coats of varathane on the new table, and need at least one more, if not two, however, and aint there always a however, the temp hasnt gotten above 50 since Sunday, so cant apply that third or fourth coat. (needs to be 60 degrees or above). I'm gettin there!
What a beautiful day today as opposed to the last 3, but it is cold as a well diggers bra on a brass monkey, or whichever comes first. We were talking about music...WE? how bout ME, anyway heard Timi yuros "Hurt" today on the "60s" channel on Direct TV, and told Diane that Timi Yuro was 14 when she recorded that...I stand corrected, she was born in 1940, and her recording didnt come out till 1961.
Now, I 'm no math major, but even I figgered that one out. She would have been 21 when that was released. I dont know, but when I first heard that at 16, I was told or just conjured it up in my head that she was 14. Idiot child! ! ! Her given name was Rosemary Timothy Yuro ! She passed away in 2004, at 63 of throat cancer. What a great strong voice she had!
Is it me, or is it memorex? The birds up here are all just as fat as can be. The blue birds, and we have a family that nest here all year long, could be the balloons in Macy's Tday parade. There's also a big fat yellow breasted bird we were trying to put a name to, and the scientific name for it is "big fat yellow breasted bird", at least that's how I'm tellin it.
Well, guess I should deplane, the little woman is home from the store and her Christmas party with Chappell Hill Garden Club. That's here 2nd or third Christmas party this year...I never get invited to a Christmas party, in fact, I dont think in all my 75 yrars I've ever been to a Christmas party. Hmmmm, guess that ought to tell me something eh waht.
Anyway, I'll fall silent now, sorry this post is so short... keep the sun at your six and "ride boldly ride..."
