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

3 days later
AND look!! I'm updating it again! Wow, I might not do this again for weeks. Got my mater and squash planted, I have my knife and plate ready! I thought I had 9 maters but turned out I have 12, so I hope out of 12 plants I get 1 mater, we will see.
It's Wednesday and Kent is attending the weekly meeting of the minds........(up for interpetation) He got the riding mowers out last night around 930, made sure they all would run, and left them right beside the back door, so I could see them I guess. Well I saw them.
Kharley came whizzing down on Kentlee's 4wheeler with Kyle. Kharley 10 yrs old stands at least 5 feet tall and is all legs, she looked like a grand daddy long leg spider on a bumble bee. they need groceries so she and Kyle was shopping. Funny to me Janie has money to loan out to friends and never any money for food.
We, my boss Ms Traylor, Josh, Karen and I went to the New Intermediate school today to look over the furniture that was left when the elementary moved out. Lots of good stuff, some junk and unwanted items. What is left will all go to the auction in SS on saturday. I would like to bid on a few things, just don't know how to sneak it in without Kent seeing it. What I want would take the trailer or a semi....may have to....walk away....just walk away. that's what the little voice is telling me..shut up stupid little voice.
I overheard one of the guys say buses were going to the auction as well. A 72 passenger bus!! Would that not be the best vacation wagon in the world, you could take EVERYONE with you. I may need to tell my nephew about this auction, he might have an interest.
Did anyone see the moon on Saturday 3-19...the news ppl and Tutz said it was suppose to appear brighter and bigger on that night because of the alignment of the planets. I was fortunate enough to get to see it and it was beautiful and bright and it did appear to be closer than your average full moon. Made me step back and realize just how small we all are.
Okay I'm hungry, the kitchen is clean so it looks like a PBJ sandwich, don't want to mess up a good thing.
Happy Trails to all and to all Happy Trails.....
Oh give me land, lots of land under starry starry skies, DON'T FENCE ME IN!! love and hugs Nen

Spring Break 2011
My week:
Monday-I kept Kentlee and Kyle, it was kinda cool so we stayed in the house most of the day. Played, colored, watch a little TV, no movies, Kyle sat most of the day in the little chair naked, that boy refuses to wear underwear, so I refused to give him any clothes.Janie took us to lunch and then nap time. Before we new it Mom was here to take them away from me. (Kyle told her all about "Nen made me sit neeked MOM!!" (little shit is so funny)
Tuesday- bought a push mower, lumber, 4 squash 16 tomatoe plants, fertilizer and black ribbon and thread.
Wednesday- I got to keep all 3 grands....Kharley is growing up so fast, I have to remember to treat her like an adult and no longer a kid. We went to McD's and a movie, Kentlee thinks he is Rango now wears cowboys clothes with 6 shooters and a cigar.(yeah a stick in his mouth) I let Kyle wear clothes because he promised he would not take off his underwear. ( I kept a close watch on him) Then to Braums for ice cream home in time for Mom to snatch them all away (again)
Thursday- Kinda cleaned house. I completed the one cabinet in our bathroom, one cabinet! I will never figure out why I don't just put the trash can inside this cabinet. All the trash seems to end up in there anyway. Soap wrappers, tops to hairspray cans, razor covers, toothpaste boxes.....half bottles of mouth wash...shampoo. Anyway it is clean I hope until the next Spring Break. Kent got off early to start his 3 day vacation, so I helped him with his gathering of goodies for the river. Ended up going to W-Mart at 10:30 for last minute items, that are so necessary for a river trip......hooks and a paddle.
Friday- We were to be on the river at 7, Stack and Tutz woke us up banging on the door screaming "Your Late" We crawl out of bed and have to finish packing the trailer and trucks with the rest of the gear we didn't load the nite before, We finally get to the Sabine at 9:30am unload all the crap and finally get to the fishing part of the vacation. 3 for me 4 for him, but we had so much fun in the boat. Kent had an old trolling motor, Bill Dance" model, he hooked it to the back of the boat so all the handles were away from him...he looked like a contortionist trying to steer and move around, we jumped a bunch of log jams a few we tried to get under, this did not happen....we don't bend like we used to. Got back to camp without falling out of the boat, (Thank You Lord, for this) and drank beer until dark thirty, I came on home, Kent stayed in the fruit stand.
Saturday- Ileft the house about 8am and when I drove by Janie's Kentlee was standing in the doorway and he waived at me.......I thought no, he is to little to go.....................so when we got to the river, I made him promise me he would not drown , he said ok. This next part was funny for some, and I will recover one day................Me and Kentlee were sitting on the banks of the Sabine and fishing our little hearts out, well I should say livers, that is all the fish would bite was chicken liver..........I hate c. Liver..hate the shit!!! I had baited Kentlee's hook, about 12 times because.....well he is 5...that's why, but I had finally got him fixed and mine in the water and sure enough got all hung up in the shit in the river, so I pulled really hard to free my line and hook from the tangled mess of the river and..........................................yes, it came un done and the liver slapped me in the face.........................................................the biggest blob of rotten stinking chicken liver you can possibly get on a hook slapped me in the face. I was sitting down (again Thank you Lord) I fell backward and just laid there for a few seconds and then I started feeling in ooze down my neck. This is when my stomach started churning and I was glad I was outside. I told Kentlee to get his pole out of the water and go to Pa. I glance over and Kent is looking the other way and I noticed his shoulders were moving up and down. I know the SOB is laughing at me, and I accept this as my lot in life for all the times he has provided me comedy in our life, but this was Chicken LIVER in my mouth and running down my neck! I am trying to get Kentlee, his pole, the rest of the damn liver my rod and reel to the camp site so I can come home! Kent can't get up for laughing!! OK, stop laughing long enough to help me! and Kentlee. Kent is not very agile on the river, it is kinda steep and you have to go around all the dead trees and vines and it is HOT....I am wearing liver and it is HOT!!! Please KEnt hurry!!I need clean water really fast....I give up I leave Kentlee with him and I haul ass to the little babbling brook close to the river and dive into it. (ok this is not true, but I wanted to dive into the little babbling brook of really clean water)I gget to camp and I washed up best I could with what resources they have at a camp site in order to get home. I throw Kentlee out of the truck and I scald my body and hair and gargle for 30 minutes. And believe it or not I returned to the scene of the crime for the best fish fry EVER!! Them boys of the bottom can sho nuff cook some fish! It was G double O D good!
Sunday- Time to break camp and let the cleaning begin,,,,I hope to have all the pots and pans put up by the time I go to bed.
Good nite to all and to all a good nite. Nen (chicken liver hater)

Ok, I'm updating!
Geez, I never knew I had so many followers, I think I like this...
Between this and FB I never know what I have posted and what I haven't...so if I repeat myself, it's because I'm updating.....hahaha
The latest I think was getting thrown out of that damn basketball game....(it was embarassing, but the ref should have that whistle shoved up his ass)
It seems like Janie and I are at each others throats alot, and I can't figure out why, got to be hormones right? can't be Promzilla (Pam) she aint going to the Prom (as far as I know) I hope it all comes out soon, I don't know if I can take much more.
Our campus had open house the same nite we had the Alumni meeting, I really enjoyed both. I love my new position, I miss working with numbers and adults. Although there are some children alot brighter than some of the adults I worked with. The aAlumni is a work in progress.....
The kids pull at my heart. They all have different stories, but there are a few little boys and girls I just want to bring home with me, and hid them from there parents.
I know the houshold Janie grew up in was not "leave it to beaver" atmosphere, and we argued over everything, but some of these kids are raising themselves. 9-10-11 year olds alone, just a place to sleep, no guidance at all. Yep I'm sure it has always been like that, but I never knew it. I was never in the middle of it like I am now. So much needs to change in this old world.
NEXT>>>>> today Kent went to a swap meet in Canton, not sure why, he never buys car parts, we have everything they have here, but it is his addiction. He told me when he gets back he will break ground for a garden...now this will take a few months to get in garden fashion, but at least it will be a start.
AND>>> we got the pool liner in this Friday, now I just have to replace the ring at the bottom of it. I have gone online, you have to have a doctrate in engineering to order the c-clamp attachment with vertical/horzontal, grooves, with overlapping...yada yada...SHIT!! I will ask Kent if he sees one at the next swap meet, thats the one thing we don't have...
OR>>>>This week is our Spring Break at good ole RISD... looking forward to it...we have had a lot of time off due to all the snow, so I was thinking we might have to give SB up....(note to self) never say this in front of stressed out teachers. OMG, they went left on me......I will apologize now for my shortcomings in the line of vacations.
MORE>>>Susan and I are going to crash in on sister at the end of this month. We will be partaking in the festivities at Round Top..population 7...funny and I love it. Antique Trade show that invades this tiny town.
My addiction.
RANDOM STUFF...like all of this aint Random (huh Carla?) Got Kharley a new bike, Kent ran over her old one last summer and we was going to get her a new one for her birthday in Sept, just never did. So the other day, I just had her so we made a mad dash to WalMart and she picked it out. I think she likes it.
Kentlee rides his all the time, Kyle will not ever attempt to sit on one. He can run faster than a bike can go, so I think he sees no need. Maybe when he sees Kharley and Kentlee on 2 wheels he will want to.
LAST ONE>> I went to my first Karoke (sp) bar! OMG, FUN FUN FUN, no I did not sing, but my toe sure was tapping. I was invited to a birthday party and we did a progressive party, started out at Chili's and ended at Muddy Jakes.Sherri almost missed the first leg but got there in time to proceed to the next bar, oh I mean venue. I hope Denise and Brandy were able to blow the whistle at the Avon Rice Relays on Sat. Betsy, Ellen and Mary were surprisingly hiliarious, and I loved being with them in a non school setting. Thank you Glenda for asking me to join, it beats the BLZD of the Month!! And Susan it was good to see you smile and have a good time, you need a few tears of laughter instead of sorrow. Looking forward to your return.
That's it, the sun is shining and I think a earth worm is waiting for me to find him.
Good day to all and to all a good day!! Nen
Between this and FB I never know what I have posted and what I haven't...so if I repeat myself, it's because I'm updating.....hahaha
The latest I think was getting thrown out of that damn basketball game....(it was embarassing, but the ref should have that whistle shoved up his ass)

Screen Doors and Sweet Tea
I have a cook book with that title..there is not a recipe one in it I would ever cook but I do love the title. And I am so ready to have the some sweet tea on my back porch with the screen doors. This has got to be the longest winter in the history of Texas winters. I love snow and cold, but getting real ready to be done with it. I thought I would never say this, but I'm ready to pack the flannel sheets away.
It has been so long since I updated this, I can't remember if I told ya'll Kent got a new truck. We kept the old one for the size and farm. We can fit all the family in the old one. The new one is just big enough for him and possibly 1 other if they are small. Single cab short wheel base full size pick up. The last one of those we had was in 91, gave it to Janie when she was a junior in high school, she gave it to Jeff when they married and he is still driving it. I just hope we can get 20 years service out of this one. Maybe we will give it to Kharley when she is a junior in high school.
Sad to say I won't be going to the Bahama's this year. Every year, Keep asking me Cord cause with me you never know what my schedule will be. I hope Sarah don't get caught in customs trying to smuggle cigars over here. You better watch her, you never know what she is going to do. I remember I was just happy when my luggage finally found me.
Talked myself and my friend Susan into a invitation to Pebble's house in Smithville during the Round Top trade days. Looking forward to seeing Net, it seems like a lifetime ago since she was here. Planning a long weekend in April feels good.
Talked with sister Susie the other night, she said "Your gonna think I'm crazy" yeah she said that to ME.. anyway she wants to have Easter at Bobbie and Doe's place. I reminded her we sold that place and Debbie and Henry might have other plans on Easter. She meant the 6 acres that is left to have an egg hunt at the pool and have the kids hunt eggs again at the farm. It's gonna make me cry, I know it will. Everyone is gone, that used to do all the cooking and planning and laughing and the softball game.
Every one remember Granny Jennie playing softball and sliding into home plate, She had to be in her 80's when she was doing that. Never broke nothing! AND she was SAFE!!
Then there was that Cold Snap that came on Easter Sunday when it turned so cold and windy, we all dug out coats and gloves and scarves. Mom and Doe had worked for a week getting every thing ready down at the pool for Easter and nothing was going to stop us from having it outside. Lots of "old" people there, so we gathered up big pieces of plywood for a wind break, had every one in a huddle trying to stay warm. All the little children in there Easter outfits so cute, but freezing to death. But we had some more fun...
Then there was the Easter we all had the family feud. Momma and Doe was walking back from Doug and Joyce's house and they had a dog "CUJO" it hated Momma. Doe could make it growl and nip at Momma heels, we saw the humor in this but somehow Momma didn't. It took a year for us to have another Easter after that ( yeah I know)
Anyway, I told Susie you call your side I will call my side and we will all meet at the Pool on Easter Sunday. ( I will pack a coat and ball bat just in case)
Gotta work tomorrow, TGIF!!!
Good nite to all and to all a good nite. xoxoxo Nen
