There will be no more July 2011, it goes down in a flame of glory. One of the hottest on record. I think about Granny Jennie and Aunt Myrtle, and wonder how they would have made it thru this kind of heat. Neither had air conditioning and never complained. Granny would only turn on the ceiling fan if she had company. On hot days you could always catch her outside in the shade of the trees. Amazing.
Kharley and I went to WMart today and got her school supplies. This has always been my treat to her since she started school. The Boyz were off with their Dad so I jumped at the opportunity to have her by myself. I also jumped when the bill rang up at $53.00. She only got what was on the list too. No frills this year. This too was Amazing. I will take the boyz to get their supplies, this time I know it will be twice as much. Kentlee and Kyle's list is twice as long as Kharley's. Kyle gets to start PreK and Kentlee will be in Kindergarten. All three in school, finally.
Funny on Kyle (this time) Uncle Paul and Aunt Brenda (Paul is Hughlene's brother) came by to visit with me one day and the kids always check out my company, so they hadn't been here long when they pop in. Uncle Paul said to Kyle: "Hello there Marvin" Kyle: My name not Marbin!! It's Tile!! That same misunderstanding took place the entire time the kids were here. Kyle would put his hand on his hip and look dead at Uncle Paul correct him and carry on with his business. So damn funny. My name not Marbin It Tile.
When Kyle smells something he just can't figure out what it is, his saying is ALWAYS What dat smell like?
One time Susan called the house when Kharley was little Kharley asked Susan, What you look like? Susan said I look just like Susan.
Kentlee had friends over this weekend, he was showing them how to use all your manners. He would come on the back porch and in the nicest voice, he would say May I have a Root Beer Nen? Then Thank you and I love you. The other kids just stood there looking goofy. Kentlee would tell them to get what you want you hve to take your manners out of your pocket. He went with me the other day to get lunch at Connies, and on the way back I just said I hope Kyle likes what we got him. Kentlee said "Well you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" He just knows I love to laugh.
I finish the book "The Help" really good book and I don't read a lot. Jeannette sent it to me and told me I couldn't go see the movie until I read the book. It was a really good book and I am glad I get to go see the movie now. Comes out in August I think.
Kent and I got all gussied up (well for us anyway) and went to a wedding. Sweet wedding and the reception was at the Mineola Country Club. I was not impressed with the MCC at all. I had heard lots of talk about it and knew they played golf but I just figured it was more for the elite. Neither one of us were impressed with the building or bar and really thought we were overdressed. I wore white capri pants and Kent in his overalls. So I guess it really was our type of "country" club..
I have been invited to haul pig feed tomorrow, so top that all you faithful followers of the 3H blog!
Happy piggy tails and to all a good nite. Nen

Drill Team Alumni
We have been asked to perform at the halftime for this years homecoming football game. I contacted a few that I knew were still close and the meeting was tonite. Word of mouth and Facebook gathered us up about 20 ex Rainettes. The oldest Nan Satterwhite. 59-60 graduate, from the first drill team ever at Rains and then the last year is was in formation which was 95 Rachel Hendley. It was a lot of fun, we laughed more about us all trying to do a routine than actually planning it. We will get serious at the next meeting.
I talk about them grands alot I know, but today Kharley had a friend over and it is not Kentlee and Kyles day when she has company. They all came and swam for a while got mad at them for being mean to the boyz and I sent them all home. They start playing with the waterhose at Janies and Kyle ends up with a mud ball in his eye. You could pull the bottom of his eye down and see mud just packed in there. When I got to Janies she was drowning him in the sink with the sprayer trying to flush this mud ball out. Some of it came out but not all. It was the weirdest looking thing I have ever seen. I had to leave for the meeting so she called her dad to come help her. So Kent said to just go ahead and plant corn in there cause he can't figure out how to get it all out. I just knew she was on her way back to the ER with Kyle......that boy!
I really need to go back to work and get on a regular routine. Today I cooked the Coca Cola Cake that a friend gave me the recipe to. OMG, it was wonderful, I also fixed a roast with potatoes. and for lunch I had the best tuna fish samwich I have fixed in a long long time.....if I had of had more bread I would have finished eating all of it. So here I am eating like I am starving to death and have this drill team performance coming up. I hope my routine has a chair involved.
reading the best book called the Help. so no more blogging for me for a while, I want to see how this ends.
good nite to all.......

I have plans today!
Crazy right? I get to get my hair cut and then I am going to Sul. Spgs. and I am so excited. I actually have a purpose today. I'm just giddy!! Got up early and everything, my appt is at 11 and that is why I am blogging. Waiting on 11. I was going to wash my hair and put make up on and everything, then I thought why wash and fix my hair if Im going to get it washed and cut? then I left my makeup bag at my sisters house in Austin, so really I got up early for NO reason. (other than to blog) So here I sit listening to the dryer going with overalls. CLANK SCRAP,BANG, CLANK.....over and over, it is ever drowning out the outside sounds of HOT! Wee Bit never made coffee this morning I FB'd her but she did not respond. The gkids are not allowed at my house today. I don't like this here without me since the pool is up, We fixed the ladder so no one under 10 can get in it, but you never know about Kyle, he could figure out how to pole vault into it if he wanted to bad enough.
Kent was so late getting home last night I made myself sick worrying about him. He always calls if he is going to be late, and it was time for him to be home and I could not get him to answer his phone. Just got this real nauseaus (sp) feeling in the pit of my stomach. I tried to call the shop where he works and the nite shift does not have a receptionist, so it was going into voice mail, I left 4 messages for someone to please call me back. NOthing!! I was headed to Kilgore when the phone finally range at 630. "I'm on my way"
Where the hell hve you been and why didnt you CALL me?? Ive been trying to call the damn phone was busy!!! I locked my keys and phone in the truck, Ive been waiting on LockNest to get here to give them every penny I hve for 2 secs work!! Who the hell have you been on the phone with, Jeannette or Susan?????? Well I was trying to find out where you were. Since 430!!!??? yeah, you always call me at 430 and tell me you are on your way home, so when you didn't I started calling you cell....Ileft you 10 messages to call me.....you never did.
So it seems like everytime he would go back in the shop to call the home phone I was on it call his cell phone. He only calls my cell from his cell so he does not have it memorized. He wanted me to bring the extra key to him......which I would of his he had of called me.
Oh well it all worked out ok, he will have to take his lunch for the rest of the week cause he gave the LockNest monster all his money!
Kent and Janie got her floor installed, it looks so good, I am real proud for her. The gkids are proud of it too. Kharley is in another pig show this weekend, but I am not going this time, it is Canton weekend and we are also invited to a wedding. So Hank will just have to strut his stuff without me.
It's 830 I have 2 1/2 hours to get to Emory, I hope I'm not late.
Carla, I still hve you on my mind, I hope to get there soon. Dont give up on me!

HELLO MONDAY!
Had a blast on Sunday, I was invited to a birthday party for Margie, that worked with me at the school. She is an amazing person. I had not seen her or her kids in a long time. The birthday was at "The Oakes" in Mineola, this is a hidden treasure for that area. Beautiful grounds and house and pool and area. If you ever get the opportunity to ck it out it is awesome. And for sale.
Hank took 2nd place in the first time he was ever showed. Pretty damn good, for a pig with a cysc on his empty ball sack. (Kharley is so at ease talking about that ball sack) The show was pretty small and pretty hot. Thank you Netter for going and braving the smells. And don't forget to mail me my makeup bag. Not that I am going to be putting on makeup anytime soon, but I might need to attend a funeral or something.
For Janie's birthday we got her lament flooring from Lowes. She and her Dad got it installed yesterday. It looks so much better than the green carpet she had. She is really proud of it too. She and Kent put our floor in and now that are pros at installation. The grands spent the night with us last night, we are just gonna chill out today, my take a dip in the pool. At 10 we have to go feed and water Hank, then nothing.....sounds good to me.
Love to all and to all a good Monday! Nen

This little piggy!
On my way to New Braunfels to watch Kharley walk a pig in an arena.
That is what all grandmothers do right?????
Staying with Jeannette in Austin tonite, then to NB Kharely walks Hank 2 times once in the am once in the pm then we come home.......
That is what all grandmothers do, right?????
I am trying to convince myself. I can't see my granny ever doing this for me or my mother ever doing it for her granddaughter, but it is the right thing to do right?????
Gonna make a memory.
Hank, Oscar, Olivia, Fiona, Fantasia and Snooky, these are the pigs names so by name alone they should all get ribbons.
Happy pig tails.......Nen

so far behind I think I'm ahead
I was thinking on July 4th all the stuff I wanted to write about, well I forgot all of it now. But it was gonna be so cool. Then I thought about Kharley's pig, all that was just gross, so I won't mention that either.
So Kent and I are on vacation or staycation as they say now. We stayed home for 2 weeks and he damned near killed me. So this is how I will update my blog..
We got the pool up and the the kids are having so much fun, Kent even put me up a life guard station (4ft 18 round pool with life guard station) okay okay Kyle is 3 foot nothing so It is very important I am out there at all times when he is here. I have my chair big umbrella and my nose is white, I look exactly like Pamela Anderson..................................................cough cough, maybe a lot like the main attraction at Sea World, but I don't care, its just me and my grandkids and other kids that show up and we are having a blast. Now the summer is almost over and I am going to have to go back to work, dang it!!
Jeannette came in for 10 days, we cooked and fished and shopped and watched movies and even went to an auction, it was so much fun. I am going down on Friday with Janie and Kharley to a pig show and we will stay there for 1 or 2 nites then back home on sunday. I'm sure Kent will miss me sooooooo muchhhhhh....more like his own 3 day staycation from me.
OMG!!! When Net comes in she shops like I don't, so she bought a tow sack full of lemons!? we made the best lemon pies and lemon cake I have ever ate. The only thing not from scratch was the pie crust. Paula Dean's recipe out of her magazine she is holding a lemon pie! Guys and Girls it was "to die for" OMG Good!! G double o D good, I'm telling you. I follwed that recipe to the letter, even figured out how to Zest a lemon, yeah me! Jeannette polished silver while I made the cake.. I bought this silver at a garage sale for get this $2 with the little box that they came in. When we got it in the car, Net about fell out, DO YOU KNOW what you just got??? I said forks and stuff...Well when she shined it all up, it is a beatiful place setting for 6 or 8 I think. We use stainless or plastic around here, not much of the silver type people, but I will agree it is a pretty set. I will put it out at Christmas, if Glenda will let me borrow her dishes again ;) Oh Lord I dont even want to think about Christmas now.
Good Things on my mind
My friend Susan's New Kitchen
Sarah's family fishing tradition
Air Conditioning
Groceries in my pantry
Morgan's happines
Old and New Friends
Retirement
Country Living Magazines..
happy trails, till we meet again!!! Nen

Who turned off the fan?
July 6,2011
Damn it's hot! Not sure exactly what I want to write about today so random thoughts it will be..haha
My sweet Aunt Myrtle (deceased Jan 2007) had glacoma, scarry thought losing your eye sight so she kept up with all eye appts. for sure. One I will remember 4 ever!! Mid June 2003, She was to have surgery for the glacoma and cataracts. The night before the surgery I had her spend the night with me here in Alba. She was not in the habit of spending the night away from home so this was going to be an adventure. She packed her overnight case and away we came to my house. So much different than hers. She reminded me of how cold I keep my house 100 times in the course of the day, I finally kicked it up to 78 so I would not freeze her to death and gave her my heaviest quilt for the night. We watched a little TV and she was ready for bed at 830. June at 830 is still daylight, I get her all bedded down without an electric blanket and she wants a flashlight in case she has to go out (this means pee) So I tried to show her the lamp beside the bed and she just wanted a flashlight.. she didn't think about packing hers.., maybe she would be okay.. she went on and on about the flashlight, I know she was a little nervous but shit.. so .....yep you guessed it.. I found her a flashlight!! Okay here we go..... Kent leaves early for work and always has, well she was up sitting in the kitchen, scarred him to death, not used to people sitting in the kitchen at 400 in the morn, so he wished her well and off he went. Aunt Myrts appt was at 930 in Tyler which is about 45 mins from our house, but we would need to leave early in case......in case of what I never knew...So I got up early too and fixed her breakfast, she told me exactly what she wanted and I enjoyed fixing my Great Aunt's breakfast. 1 sausage, 1 egg over easy not to runny, 1 piece dry toast, 1 cup of coffee. Nothing more nothing less. I had the exact meal. I now know why she was so skinny all her life. (the lack of food is the secret) got the house in order as she would say and then got on the rode early for the surgery, every thing went as expected. They wanted to see her bright and early the next morning. So I thought we will just go get her some more clothes and back to my house....WRONG!!! She wanted to go home. I could not let her stay by herself after the eye surgery, we had a list of drops, pills, and every pill had a different time to take and a one drop in the left eye 2 in the right take a pill hold head back...Lord it was going to take a nursing staff to do all that, SO I got my clothes and spent the night with My Great Aunt. in a 100 yr old house with no A/C.
It was going to be a really loooooonnnnnnngggggg nite..I asked her if she had a fan, she did have a fan, she would have to get it out of the closet. Lord. She brings out this pristine 1940 something model General Electric oscillating fan in the original box. Me: Does it work?? Her: It did the last time I used it. Me: when was that? Her: Can't remember. Lordy. Just sitting in her kitchen watching TV with her I have broke a sweat a middle linebacker would be proud of. She never plugged in the fan. Her: Well it is 830 time for bed. Me: What? I have just finished dosing her will all the meds and flushing her eyes with drops and now we just go to bed.. At this point I tell her: Aunt Myrtle I am melting! Can I take a shower to cool off before I go to bed? She reminds me it's only Thursday?! Me: It not about the hygenie its about survival. If I don't cool off before I go to bed I will burst into flames. She allows me to take a shower, I thank her from the bottom of my thermostat. I normally don't sleep in to many clothes, but some how I knew this would not fly well with Myrt so I get out of a cool shower only to put on a tshirt and underwear. I sneak my wash rag to bed with me so I can cover my face, or I should say eyebrow. (it was a rag, tiny little rag to wash my fat body with) I get to sleep in Aunt Lilly's room, this is where I will bake for the nite, and THE FAN IS ON!! Hell to the yes!!! WAIT.......the bed is on the far side of the room. the only electric plug is on the opposite side of the room with a 2 foot cord. Only 1 speed on the fan! Jesus Christ. NO AUNT MYRTLE I DON'T NEED A BLANKET!!!!!! but thanks for asking. I am her guest so it would not be good to drag the bed over closer to the fan, I am thinking about sleeping in the floor with my nose/head/body within inches of the scarriest fan you have ever seen. Machetie looking blades, and I would turn over and slice my ear off...No I will make this work....1 Oscillating fan, 1 speed, SLOW, seemed liked 50 feet away, sundown barely and it was 99 degrees in the house. She is snoring I peek in on her, she is under a sheet and light blanket, the windows are open and not a breath of air is stirring the curtains. Holy Mother of God. I will surely parish in this heat.
I am miserable. About ever 10 turns of the fan I feel a wisp of air A Wisp of Air!! My little eyebrow rag is trying so hard to comfort me..................Sweet Jesus, is that Aunt Myrtle cooking breakfast already??? I am exhausted I truly melted, my tshirt, underwear and sheets are soaking wet, and she has the burners on cooking breakfast. me: Hey, Aunt Myrtle, I will buy you a donut on the way to the dr. office? Just give me a few minutes and I................Her: Breakfast is ready.. 1 sausage, 1 egg, 1 piece of dry toast and 1 cup of HOT coffee.......Me: thank you be there in a minute. Her: Be sure and put that fan away I won't be using it.
Me: Yes Ma'am!
GOD BLESS AIR CONDITIONING..
Okay Carla, Net and Pam, I updated my blog! Love Love..
Mike and Penny, I hope you enjoy this.

My little eyebrow rag is trying so hard to comfort me..................Sweet Jesus, is that Aunt Myrtle cooking breakfast already??? I am exhausted I truly melted, my tshirt, underwear and sheets are soaking wet, and she has the burners on cooking breakfast. me: Hey, Aunt Myrtle, I will buy you a donut on the way to the dr. office? Just give me a few minutes and I................Her: Breakfast is ready.. 1 sausage, 1 egg, 1 piece of dry toast and 1 cup of HOT coffee.......Me: thank you be there in a minute. Her: Be sure and put that fan away I won't be using it.
Me: Yes Ma'am!
