Inconceivable!

Cuddle Buns knows my hate/hate relationship with sports announcers. Terrible grammar. Inane discussion over each little play. Over and over and over.

But just came across this:


If they have actually seen "The Princess Bride" they have climbed a notch in my judgement.

Even if they haven't seen it, just referring to it makes them cool guys.

PS...Rudy hunts ROUSs.

Rocking the Vote

I fully intended to vote early but was a little under the weather last week.

Maybe that was for the best.

Last week I would have had to have gone to the courthouse in Comanche.

This is where I was assigned to go today.

When I went earlier this morning there were 3 folks ahead of me in line. The printer with the little label thing to sign was not working and while we waiting a few more people joined us in line. I chose to stop back by later and found myself at the front of the line.

As I left, the crowds started again. Two cars drove up as I was leaving.


I love the country.

We're gonna need a bigger bucket

I picked these up between the car and the house last night.

Ok. That's a bit of an exaggeration. I did go investigate a couple of trees off that route.

BUT, just now I counted 25 pecan trees in our yard. 

Anyone have a really really good pecan pie recipe? Pecan bars? Pecan butter? Pecan anything???

Several things...

Rudy misses his daddy. Been sleeping on his pillow

The new floor, shower, and tile are in the little bath! Once this sets up, the trim and sink and toilet go in. (The blue is painter's tape.)

And, although common place in the Houston area lately, not so much here: 

 IT IS RAINING!!

And I haven't had the air conditioner on since last night. Gorgeous breeze.

I'm not MIA...

My one reader wants an update...so here it is. Carla, this is for you.

The Great Yard Cleanup

She had the equipment and outfit...

Just not the vision!

Never dull.

The Grand Princess and I awoke to survey the damage of the small but scary storm that hit last night about 8:30.

The storm made me wish we had the storm cellar spider free and clean with flashlights and drinking water and blankets. The lack of rain here in central Texas has helped create a lot of flying limbs. Fortunately, we only lost Internet power. (The tragedy of it all! No Netflix! The Grand Princess had to rely on movies we had on the iPod.)

While we were surveying the damage, the cows came back!

The GP knew these weren't the ones she had named. She started thinking of new names. But other distractions were on the agenda:

New Playdough

And we have been itching to paint the library.

I left out the glitter glue. I'd rather not think about it. It will mysteriously be missing tomorrow.
