Almost on the road

Well I'm in Austin awaiting the trip to the airport in the a.m. for the vacation of a lifetime! We leave in the morning at or around 6:00 and I will be a Bahama Mama by tomorrow night ...can't wait can't wait. Jeannette approved the clothing I brought for the trip and she added a few things. OKAY so imagine me wearing a bathing suit, that is enough to scare the children, but then imagine me wearing a MUMU with elephants on it and a HUGE straw hat with a big red bow...Lord would Hughlene be proud of me. Thank you Jeannette for the MUMU and hat! (oh Lord) Carla your hats faded in comparison to the one Jeannette got. But she said thank you thank you. I am so excited about going I really don't think I am going to worry about what I have on. Got a new card for my camera and brought me a suduko book in case a hurricane keeps me out of the pool. I think I am to help Jeannette watch the girls at some point in time, we will see, I am be way to busy..laugh laugh.

Oh yeah I recommend everyone to get a nephew that will invite you to places such at this. Thank you Cord....I didn't think you could beat Vegas, but again you have proved me wrong..love ya! I think Mom would have slowed us up a bit on this trip. LOL!

In case I forgot to tell everyone this, when I get back from the Bahamas, I will then get to go on another vacation, (I never knew I wold like vacations this much) The following weekend, my plans are to go with the OBOY girls to Arkansas for trout fishing! Anyone know what OBOY stands for? Not gonna tell ya! HA! To be continued.......

Let it RAIN!

Wow what a storm. The rain was coming down in buckets and it was a wild ride on the way home. Now it has stopped and humidity if high. I hear the rumble of thunder in the distance and it is a wonderful sound. Kharley had an awful ear ache today, she went to work with her mom but just got worse. I was getting my lunch when Janie called me and ask if I could help. I got so excited I dropped a full glass of tea in my lap. Since I had to change clothes anyway I just came on home and me and her have hung out the rest of this day. She has a cat, Thanks CAROL!! that she wants with her all the time. I ain't a cat person, but for her I try. I was glad I didn't have to take the cat to the DR office with me. She got 3 perscriptions and is feeling better.
I am sure it was the medicine and not getting to come home and be with the cat.
Gotta go look at the cat, at Kharley's request. I will visit later...with ya'll

Pretend the title is really witty

It took me forever to reset my damn password for this. So I am kinda out of the mood to write now.
I hate dial up, but there are so many more things I want more than high speed internet service. I wish Verizon would let go of some bucks to access all the rural roads in our county. Shame the company is to poor to consider all of us out in the sticks.

Falling off of my Soap box now. Did anyone but me think it was hot today. It sure seems early to be this hot.

Every year at this time I wish I had a swimming pool, one a little bigger that Carla and Paul's one that my grandkids and I could all get in at one time. Kharley and I have been saving our pennies for 5 years we may have enough for the chemicals but not quite enough for the water, pool and pump. Oh well we will keep saving.

If I would stay my ass home instead of spending all Kent's money on passports I might could have a pool!

Lemonade, Rockers, Gliders and Porch Swings

These are a few of my favorite things...sounds like a song Huh? I have had a great time on my back porch...I sit in the mornings and look at old magazines, and drink my coffee and just ignore the exercise equipment in the corner...I'll get to that one day when I WANT to.
Kyle turned 3 on May 28th. Kentlee graduated Pre-School and Kharley is going into the 4th grade. Janie and Jeff will soon be married 5 years and it has all passed by with the force of a hurricane. The saying is so true---time flies.
I have been invited to spend some time with my wonderful nephew and his family and my sister in the Bahamas. OMG, I never thought I would ever go out of the country, but soon I will be leaving for a 6 day vacation in paradise. I looked at the pictures on line and it is truly the look of paradise...can't wait.
I thought when Jeannette talked me into a wet suit and going down the Snake River in Wyoming would be the only adventure she would witness...but hey HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW!..The Bahamas...Country Girl goes to the Bahamas...HELLO...the Bahamas, this is a once in a lifetime for me and I am going to get the most out of it I can.
So far the least favorite part has been the thought of a new swim suit. Jeannette told me the one I had with ruffles and the knees wore out would never do..... ( I think it could be patched)
Happy Trails to all and to all a good nite..
