Guess Mother Nature likes a good joke

When I got off work last night we had not got a drop of rain and all the storms were headed West. The normal storm surge for here is out of the West or Southwest, winter storms are out of the North. Very few ever come out of the East especially build around us then head East. OH WELL MAYBE NEXT TIME.

WE HAVE R-A-I-N, maybe!

One of the girls that just go off sent me a text, she lives in Hereford - 40 miles west of here, to let me know she was in a heavy rain from Dawn to Hereford. Even had to use her car wipers on high most of the way. Yea Yea. Not one of our famous 6" rains (6" between the drops). When I worked at the Hotel I had a lot of guests ask what the average rainfall was here, I was quick to say "Average 19" a year, and I remember the night it fell last year." the problem is this year it has forgotten to fall at any time.

Maybe we can get some tonight. I will let you know how much in the morning. THANK YOU LORD FOR THE HINT OF RAIN.

Still not able to post photos

I have yet to figure out how to post my photos but I am not a quiter, I'll figure it out yet. Thanks for all your help. Gina I do post with bloger.com but can not find the add button. A few times I have noticed a spot for edit photo or add photo but since I had no photos I did not access it, wish I had now but I will not give up. If all else fails I will ask my Computer Guru son for help. He is great with them but my problem is I do not know what he is talking about when he tries to help. Sorry to say I am a show me learner. HA HA. Part of being in the older generation. I am great with a calculator now but when I tell the kids now " I had trouble in Chemistry Class in school cause my Slide Rule lied to me. " they have no idea of what I am talking about. Generation Gap I guess. But seriously THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP. When I do get it figured out you will get tired of my photos, I have quite a collection. Even more in the last 5 years in the Photo Lab at Wal-Mart.

Everyone BLESSINGS TO YOU and MAKE IT A GREAT WEEK.

YEA we at least have clouds now!

There is hope,we are still in triple digit heat but at least we have clouds today. The first we have had all year. I love our Blue Skies but we need the rain sooo bad. My husband has not even cut the grass one time this year, it has been so dry even the weeds will not grow. I have never seen it this dry. Last winter I thought it was bad being so dry it would not snow, just be so bitterly cold, but this is the absolute worse it can be. HOPE WE GET SOME RAIN SOON.

HOPE I CAN POST THESE PHOTOS ALSO. THANKS Gina for your suggestions maybe we can get it done. If not I still will not give up, I will keep trying.

Hope everyone is having a great week and make it an even better weekend.

Update on Calvin - Really GOOD WEEK

Calvin has had a real good couple of weeks. Sure he has his good days and bad days, but the last 4 days have been the best yet. He has been talking and laughing with Jerry talking about old times and stuff they did as kids. I still get tickled when I hear about how Calvin and Bobby hung Jerry in the barn til he turned blue playing Cowboys and Indians. Jerry was the Indian. Not only have I heard this from Calvin and Bobby but several of their friends they grew up with. With brothers like that who needs enemies, but you let anything happen to one of them, and you would have the other two to deal with.

On top of Calvin having a good week I even got to go play cards Thursday, it was so much FUN and seemed like things were almost back to normal. We even had 5 of us playing, Ernie, her sister, her daughter, her daughter's best friend and me. We tried to get Bruce (Ernie's brother) to play but he was too interested in his TV showes to join us. I did not win but it was sure fun getting to play.

Yesterday was the most fun of all though, Bobby (oldest GRANDson) was finishing up his Summer Band Camp with a concert so we were all there, Gerry (my son), Renee (his Mom), Duncan (his brother), Jack (my youngest GRANDson - here wile his Mom and Dad get ready to move to London) and me. We had sooo much fun all day and Jack is so full of it, talks all the time and is so smart. I know his dad was always smart growing up but not like Jack. I guess he gets that from Ginger too. When he does start school his teachers will have a challenge.

HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING AS GOOD OF A WEEKEND AS I AM. MAKE IT A BLESSED SUNDAY. Will write more when I know something. LOVE TO YOU ALL

Update on Calvin

We got Calvin out of the hospital yesterday and he is home for now. He did agree to home hospice care but as soon as he got home he was already fussing with the nurse assigned to his case. Hope this will work out. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND CONCERN.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Will tell your more when I know more. THANKS TO MY FRIENDS AND ALL MY NEW FRIENDS.

Just so you know, Calvin is in CCU again

We were expecting a call form Sue to let us know when to come up to get Calvin, but when she called it was to tell us Calvin had been moved back to CCU. We just talked to her and she said he was critical but stable so he is holding his own. We will see what happen tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a GOOD week and MAKE IT A GOOD WEEKEND.
