Fall Fest Time
I really need to get with it, but I don't have much energy. It's going to be worse tonight. We have the Fall Festival at church. For us, it's not a huge deal because we are a s… -
More Animals
Beth is torturing Midnight: That's a crocheted sombrero that my grandmother had made for some doll thingy. Midnight was not crazy about it. 8:30 p.m....Daddy's home an… -
Kitties
11:45 p.m.....Steve just called, and the plan is still to come home tomorrow evening. It's too late to not get my hopes up. So I'm praying everything goes as scheduled and he does … -
Do the math
The baby shower today was for Becca, my cousin's daughter-in-law. I heard the story today about how she found out she was pregnant. She was studying phlebotomy....learning how to take blood and do tests. One day they wer… -
Funeral
10:45.....I just finished making a ton of chicken salad. It almost fills a 26 quart bowl I have. That should make enough sandwiches for everybody at Mark's birthday party tomorrow night. I went to the funeral today … -
The Polks
11:45 a.m.....Headed out to the funeral. Meeting Renee this afternoon. 1:30 a.m.....It looks like my great-great-great-great-grandfather, Richard Polk, was a second cousin to President James K. Polk. Here's what I … -
The first night
Rachael called earlier and asked if I had seen the moon tonight. That was early in the evening. She said it was huge and orange. So I went outside and my neighbor, Tracy, was out there looking, too. Brian had called her … -
Off to Limestone
Sue, you thought you could see a family resemblance between Brandon and Bubba. So I thought I'd compare pictures: The one I really think Bubba looks like is his mother. Here's Bubba, with his parents. Both my grandpar… -
The Space Shuttle
6:50 p.m.....My uncle, Roy Guinn, died about 5:00 this afternoon. They said he went very easily...he just stopped breathing. My cousin's husband was shaving him when it happened. He's a nurse anesthetist. Debbie told Mat… -
Grief
8:10 p.m....I finally found Rita. I looked for her for over 2 hours. Then I heard her distinctive meow (yes....every cat sounds different), and she went under the fence across the street. She was just cowering under the … -
The Front's Here
The cold front is here. Or more accurately....a cool front. It's only about 60 degrees out there, but it's very windy, and rainy. It feels much cooler than 60 when you are out in that wind. It's howling around the north … -
The Shower
9:50 p.m....Please pray for Anju...daughter of Carolyn (RazeHell). The fires in southern California are approaching their home. Also, please pray for my cousin and his family. I posted pictures last January of a baby sh… -

In Loving Memory
9:55 p.m.....Cathy, I found a pic of my cousin, JoAnn. It's kind of small. This was at a family reunion in 2003. She is one year older than me. When Beth's friend, Dorothy died of cancer (she was the door greeter in … -
Tired
Cathy has posted an interesting diet. (WARNING: If you are easily shocked, don't read it....or all the comments here. Here's the diet. ) 2:45 p.m....I had to run around like a crazy person a little while ago, and strai… -
Smiles
Answers are up. I noticed a whole lot of you came by, but didn't want to take a chance on guessing THIS GUY needs a new hobby. Or tv....or something. He's clearly overly impressed with himself. 11:00 p.m.....My mother… -
Another prayer request
I didn't tell you that my mother called this afternoon, and said she and Daddy were driving over to Lake Charles, LA this afternoon to see my uncle. He's Mamma's brother and he has glioblastoma. It's a fast-growing brain… -
Eyes
Beth is wearing her new prescription sunglasses to watch tv and look at the computer screen. It cuts down on light and glare and makes her eyes feel better. She's worried, though, about working all day tomorrow with her … -
Prayer Request
The mad lib is up. 5:00 p.m.....Looks like my sisters and I will go together and get my mother a motorized chair for Christmas. My bro-in-law was on Craig's List looking for a new trailer, when he came across a power c… -
Church
Midnight: I just went outside. The temperature is cool and the wind is blowing hard enough that it was too cool to stay out there without wearing something warmer. I'm excited about fall weather getting here......finally… -
Prayer
8:20 p.m....I was just thinking, while looking at some of the people who show up on my Xanga footprints page. Sometimes when I'm on the moderator page, and I click on a video to play it, it will take me to the actual Xan… -
Newlywed Ambush

Video
On the moderator page, it keeps track of the total number of pictures, videos or posts that you rate. I just passed 7000 tonight. A lot of my pictures on here have been messing up today Beth has the Mad Lib up. M… -
More air show....and a praise or two
9:30 p.m....Another plane that has not been at the air show in several years is "Fifi". She is the world's only flying B-29 Superfortress. She has been down for a while now, because she needs 4 new engines, and that'… -
Wings Over Houston Air Show in Pictures
Beth just came home from Brandon and Rachael's and said that Michael (my nephew) got some awesome pictures. They were sitting at the end of the runway, getting pictures as they flew overhead. There was supposed to be a… -
*Sigh*
11:00 p.m.....In the survey on my last post, I said that I went to the prom twice....2 different years, with 2 different guys, but I wore the same dress. So I thought I would show you. This is me in 1973, with my boyfrie… -

MadLib
12:15 a.m....This afternoon, I started trimming another oleander. We have one at the corner of the house that had gotten huge and out of control. I needed a saw since the branches are kind of big for clippers. Couldn't f… -
