Katla – I want to live in my own home as long as I possibly can; hope to be able to drive as long as it is safe for me to do so. I’ve been on several 6-month driving restrictions due to seizures (which are controlled by medication) over the past 10 years. I know my DOS, next door would check in on me. He usually comes in…

Starting off ... I did not proof-read for mistakes ... so I hope that most of it makes sense or you understand what I am trying to say. Katla – I’ve never live in a neighborhood that had a “Homeowner’s Association.” I don’t think I could live with rules that determine what shade of a color I could use on my house and the…

Becca – My money would go to getting new counter top, new flooring, maybe remodel the bath; and then buy plants. I love my plants; and, flowers, too (to go out in the flower bed); but, I don’t think I’ll get MY insurance for burning the wagon. After 1 wreck and 2 ‘fender benders’ they probably would have either ‘rated’ me…

Friday I called Windows World AGAIN, finally got told that the installer had told her (secretary) that 'we were going to come pick the wood strips up (in Tifton) about 70 miles or so from where we live'. I told the young lady who had apologized for forgetting to call me back on Thursday that I did not know what this man…

Katla – Oh, that stuff! Looks like an oversized thimble; but, it takes 2 people to unwrap it and by the time you get it, it is coming off your finger and digging in like it doesn’t want to go anywhere. Sticky and stretchy. Allie – I agree, that would be priceless in court; but, having it as ‘ammunition’ is also good,…

Pip – So you spend your weekend at the beach, cutting grass? That would not really be my idea of a restful weekend. I know all the exercise and stuff; but, as tall as it is, couldn’t you find some teenager who would be willing to mow it back every few months? Whoo-Hoo - #1!!! And Kirby, too! WOW! Great for youl Boy, I wish…

Louis is going to 'grill out' sausage that he and DOS bought yesterday; cooking red beans and rice, and have some red potato salad. That should be enough and good, too. On weekends and sometimes during the week I only eat 2 meals and make them count. Usually eat my big meal of the day about 2:00pm. It rained early and will…

Allie – Yes, I am going to be VERY vocal here, only because I have seen a LOT of things dealing with domestic cases. I agree with Beth, that a silent TomCat is not a safe TomCat. Sounds like he is getting desperate; and, desperate men do desperate things. Sometimes they get more abusive or start being physically abusive.…

Allie – Seems like someone told me this; but, is that man standing next to you TomCat? Pip – Compared to my posts … yes, it is ‘short’. Whoa, … that is some ‘tall’ grass. Watch out for snakes. Where is that? Surely not at your home. Beach lot maybe? Joyce – Paid off all our personal credit cards and going ‘cash only’.…

Lanette – Sorry for the mix-up; DOS is 41 today; DH and I have been married (will be) 45 years on August 20; I am 66 to clear that up. Or else, I started really young, or he is a child of my DH’s and I am his ‘trophy wife’. Well, there are almost 10 years between our ages; but, not a ‘trophy wife’ … just his 3rd – which…

Michele – My trampoline has a covered thing that will hide the springs. I have not put it together because it is going to take 2 'strong' people to straighten it out from 180° to 360°. The directions calls for 2 strong people to pull it into place. It doesn’t have the net that goes around it that would hold me if I started…

Seems like the hen wants to walk in the water and try to be cool. Cracker with her head on my Bible while trying to read. I thought the 'hand' flamingos were cute. I might try to print out these pictures and add them to my 'flamingo collection'. It is about to storm here, so I am getting off the computer. Don't want it to…

Heather – That London fire reminds me of the 9-11 Twin Towers fires;; other than the London fire was a ‘terrorist attack’ by a builder using cheap-@$$ building materials and NOT putting any sprinkler systems or fire alarms. So sad, that people were dropping young children and babies out windows … and they won’t have any…

Today I put together the trampoline that Louis doesn't understand why I got it. "To walk on it!" He is afraid I will get hurt. I'm not going to be doing any flips on it. That's not what it is meant to do; although as a HS cheerleader we did use them to do flips, at an angle.

I used to play with my Daddy’s ‘hunting dogs’. White and Tan pointers; Buster and Ace. But, when I was about 10; and the gate was messed up had had to be chained, I left it unchained and Molly (black & white English Spagler) got out and was hit by a car and she had to be 'put down'. Daddy pulled the unlocked chain and slap…

Becca - You the 'baby of the family'? Do your sisters still 'act like you can't get in out of the rain'? Mine do, sometimes. But, they were always protective of me when a neighbor, Harriett, would pick on me just to make me cry. We're close, now that we are older. Just 3 years between us, almost exactly. Lenora

Allie – Crocodile tears and being all gushy … What a Tomcat! Howling and Yowling because he isn't getting his way. Well, ... too bad, so sad, you're too late ... deal with it. You know him better than any of us, but, why put you through that again. I thought the last time this subject came up you were willing to ‘try…

Joyce – Do you ‘jiggle’ the handle of the toilet when it starts running? Usually it is very loose and all you have to do to make it stop is ‘jiggle’ it so that the flapper will go down and seal the water from flowing in it. Check to make sure the handle and the chain is still connected (and not broken). This is a fairly…

Dana – We picked this stone because it went with the walls (“Pecky Cypress”) that Louis had put a orangeish-frown stain on it. Mainly, because it went with the furniture we have. I’ve seen homes where it has been allowed to either weather on its own or has been stained gray, which is really pretty. We went out to Cheddar’s…

Michele – I’m very proud of my kids and granddaughters. All are good-looking/pretty and smart. Taylor was the ‘Star Student’ of her class; and, sometimes ‘beats herself up’ about not doing much in the way of studying in the 9th grade, her first year of a ‘new school’ and ‘new beginnings’. Says she could have been the…

Ok, here is Mallory carrying the turkey she killed this last season, about as big as she is - he was a BIG gobbler). There got out there, she shot it, and they were coming out of the woods within 15 minutes. I think the funniest thing was hearing Will 'whoop it up' when she shot it and seeing him running out to grab it.…

Thank you Sue and Janet – I’m not the most ‘computer savvy’ person in the world; and, when my technician saved (copied) my pictures off my smart phone, he only saved the ones ‘on the camera’ and not the ones in the file folders; so that got done today and now I can find them when I want them. Allie – I can understand not…

Lanette – It is so easy to do, too. But, I do have to be sitting down on the lid of the toilet to bend my head over to dry the back or else I get very dizzy. Karen NY – Thanks. I’ll have to have a lot of things ‘altered’ when I lose that last 15 – 20 lbs., because that will mean I will be a 10; I already have a few things…

Allie - Sweetie, you WILL be better when you get [to] the finish line and push through it; and it is over. You won't be getting mentally beat over the head and there won't be any reason for you to do it to yourself. It'll take a little while to get situated; but, once you do you will be totally blown away at 'how strong…

Finally, found my pictures and got them posted. When I find one of my 'big boy' I will post it as well. 1) Will and Tami. 2) Me, this was after my body wave got wet; couldn't do a darn thing with it. But, it does show how much gray I have in my hair. 3) My 2 sons (Trey left; Will right). 4) Trey and his family, wife -…

Now, I can't find the freaking pictures that I copies onto my laptop from my smart phone; so I will have to start looking at where they got put. GGGRRrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Tami (DDnL#2) and Mallory (DMOGD#4) at her dance recital.

My middle granddaughter; she did not like the way the top that actually came with the skirt was cut in and that she would have had to wear a strapless bra; she they found this top and the tailor in town, actually remade it. It turned out beautifully. Lenora
