The last Friday in April

I got so mad tonite at dinner.  There was this idiot stupid ass disrespectful fool, walks into the buffet at Mineola with a Tshirt.  BIG BOLD WHITE LETTERS ON A BLACK TSHIRT-----F*CK YOU  ya'll I'm from Texas.  (The U was in place) I have a hard time writing THAT word, oh I've said it plenty, but not in a public place and I especially don't wear the WORD! 
I think I saw the fool first, cause I asked Tutz, what does that shirt say, about that time Kent and Stack looks up and we all agreed that was exactly what it said....The buffet is full of people, little kids, elderly, and us, all of a sudden I can't finish my food, I am just sickened by this.  We talk about it and wonder why they would seat someone with F -You on there shirt?  We paid out and mentioned it to the mgr who had not seated the fool and she didn't do or say much.   I decide he should be charged 10 times the amount of the buffet and then ask to never return.  I really wished they would have made a statement by NOT serving the FOOL!  We should have asked the idiot to turn it inside out or something, but we didn't, so that makes us part of the problem as well.
Okay I aint thinking about dumb ass any more.....I just wish it had of said New York instead of Texas.

Okay gonna talk about Kentlee again.  The morning this week it was so cold, Thurs. I think, I was getting one more cup of coffee before I left for work and was looking out my kitchen window..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Kentlee was walking down our lane toward the house.  He has a little jacket on and was just strolling along.  I step out on the front porch and say "what's UP?"  He and Macky are just strolling along and he tells me he left his sun glasses in Pa's truck, he is gonna need them today at school...............................................
I ask him if he knows where they are and he tells me,  yeah,  Nen I left them in the back seat.....................
I hear him open the truck door,  he gets the glasses, then he yells out, gonna ride my bike back, the bus is coming.......................
I go back to the kitchen sink, watch him and Macky (dog) go up the lane sunglasses in place, and the big yellow bus coming down the road. 
I can just close my eyes and still see him, so comfortable with his surrounding and not afraid he'll miss the bus.
I love all my grandkids, I seem to talk more about Kentlee than any of them tho. 
One day this week Janie ask me to watch them all while she ran to town, I was exhausted, it had been the day from hell at the school.  I had been up and down  and in and out, helping all the tchs and my boss, to the point of  I was totallly spent....the only thing I could think of was my chair and the TV.  I ask Janie if Kharley was going with her or was she going to stay, she wanted to stay if she could.  She was my savior for the evening, I told her I was really tired and she would have to entertain the boys, she never missed a lick, she played and got them something to eat and was fixing to start the shower when Janie got back......She is growing up so fast and I am afraid I am using her to much to bail me out.  To clear my consience I will start paying her!
and now I will just say KYLE.............he won't do.   Names the worms at Easter, licks this fingers after digging them out of the worm dirt, one more time. and questions everything imaginable........flashlights got batteries?????Yes Kyle, blue flashlight got batteries??? Yes Kyle, flashlight work??  If it has batteries it works Kyle....go eat worms and leave me alone!
As granny Jennie would have said, "I think alot of them kids"

I hear an ice cream calling my name,
Good nite to all and to all a good nite   xoxoxoxo  Nen

blah blah blah

I like to update this once a week, or should I say I would like to update this once a week.  But......by the time I get home for being on the computer and get thru reading all the FB stuff, and then read Pam and Carla's blog's I feel like I have sat at a computer all damn day!!
Just a few things so I can say I updated:
Finally went to the Dr. I have had a cough/wheeze since Dec and I was tired of it.  I am a product of second hand smoke and I had got into my mind, the BIG C so I thought to hell with just go find out.  Asthma....PLEASE!!! 2 inhalers and a ton of little white pills and I think I'm cured....Iwish I would have gone 4 months ago...
Kharley has had strep, week before the big Taks test Week, not good...but she is feeling better, her math grades have improved to 90's so maybe her report card will reflect at least a 70....that child that child!
Kent finally had enough of walking around this huge by large RED cabinet I brought home from Austin and remodeled it to fit our TV.  LOVE IT, thank you HONEY for all your efforts, can you please hang up all the stuff I had to move to get it where I wanted it??  okay yeah I know I might be pushing him a little. ( I thought putting the cabinet in the middle of the living room was a good idea, thought I would get it where I wanted it faster, it was there for 2 weeks) He is not much on doing things in my time frame, huh?
Kentlee is just pure joy, that's all I can think of saying about him, he loves wearing those silly little hats Pre-K makes in class and always tells you what it is about, like you couldn't guess this last hat had to do with Easter, I think the Eggs and Bunny gave it away. the last one was covered in green clovers, any guesses?
Kyle---if he tells me "jus ooon mo   Nen, jus ooon mo  ..translation(just one more ) I'm gonna bean him.  Everything...Kyle put the toys up, Nen jus oon mo min. Kyle eat some more of your sandwich, Nen jus oon mo bite, Kyle don't jump off the bar again...Nen, jus oon mo time....GRRRRRR!!! terrrible 3's this too will pass, please Lord, make this pass. 
In case no one has heard, Janie and Jeff are separated.  I hate that for them, hoping they can reconcile, but I will back Janie on her decision.  3 kids.....gonna be hard, Kent and I will help out as much as we can, but I ain't raising my grandkids.....I love them to much to do that to them!
Jack is dancing the week away, I think on some weeks he goes to 4 dances.  He rests most of the days so he can boot scoot the nights, Sunday is church, so that just leaves 2 days a week to tend to the cattle, mow his yard, and catch up on the local gossip, yep life is good for Jack.....Hughlene I miss you so much!
 Well that's my update, Gonna spend some quality time with Kent now, I think I can hear him snoring on the couch, I can have the best conversation with him at this time...He agrees to so much at this time too!

Love to all and to all a good nite.  Nen

Vision!!

I have an eye appt this morning at 10 after that I go to Sam's for the school for "much needed supplies" ;).  I was going into work and get one of the "Burb's" but they were all taken for the day, so I will take my own vehicle and hopefully get reimbursed for the gas.  $3.71 in Emory, crazy!  My eye appt is past due, I broke my computer glasses and have been using dime store cheaters for about a month.  I stole a pair, I mean a permantley borrowed a pair from my sister couple of weeks ago and now it is just a have to case.  I need them only to see or read or look or watch, but I hate the thoughts of wearing them 24-7, I don't need them to drive or work in the yard, but I do need them to fish.  I thought about contacts but can't warm up to that either. So it's gonna be a long visit with the Eye Dr...
It feels weird being at home on a work day, when your not sick, or mad :0), I'm just waiting, I got the washer going, the trash is out, floor swept and I even fed the dog.  Just waiting........tic toc tic toc.......
This weekend I tended the garden as granny would have said,  all my squash plant fell victim to the dog or a grandson, not sure which probably both......demonic animals, what did those beautiful squash ever do to them? I had them all planted at the very end of my little plot of soil, and they are just plowed over, looks like they were have fun romping thru my Sunday Supper! Out of the 4 plants ALL are gone..dammit! The tomatoes on the other hand are "LOOKING GOOOOD"  I planted 12 and only 3 of them are mysteriously gone, just plucked up and g-o-n-e!!  I don't want to even guess, okay Aliens, surely not the grandson's.  I keep saying Grandson's because I know my precious Granddaughter better know better!
Killing time so I will ramble some:
Some Family Facts....I have 3 sisters and 1 brother in their 60's!!! Judy, Jeannette, Johnny and Susie...60's, It just seems so weird that they got so old so fast!  2 of them are eligible for Social Security Benefits......that is old people income!  My gosh when did this happen???? I should remind everyone that I was the baby of the family and all these old people are the reason I am what I am. 
I'm trying to kill time so just bear with me....
Doe and Mary Beth had 3 kids
Vandell and Bobbie Jo had 4 Kids. All families lived next door to each other in Point, a long time ago, we all played together and were at each other houses all the time. This is how I learned to play 42.  So therefor we all hated one another just like brother and sisters do.. but I think they all loved ME! (everyone else can write there own story)   So we have in birth order, the magnicient 7!  Judy, Jeannette, Johnny, Susie, Danny, Jackie, and Jeannine. A bunch of BABY BOOMERS, Huh? Judy and Jeannette born in the late 40's the rest in the 50's.So life goes on and Doe and Mary Beth divorced, Vandell died leaving Bobbie Jo to marry Doe. Mary Beth remarries.  AND THAT'S THE WAY WE BECAME THE BRADY....FENTER/OLER BUNCH!! And you know for the most part, we still get along, we stay in contact, we are getting together for Easter at Mom and Doe's place.  Looking forward to being with what family I have left.  At work someone mentioned :family reunion: Something our bunch never really did, we might need to reconsider it....there are those that are getting old......er!    Love to all my brothers and sisters. See you at Easter, Oh and Johnny you are not to partake in any strenious activities or eat anything I bring!!! 
And Susie told me you wanted everyone to bring 1 egg  per family , really??? Johnny this is why.....nevermind!

Love to all and to all, Happy Trails!!! Nen
