Happy Birthday and I HATE CHANGE!!

I got an email from my
server, last night, that they are changing a few things.
I let out a big sigh, and
looked it over... and started see if I could
take care of business...
Well, it doesn't recognize my password,
so I went with forgot
password. Of which it then tells me it
doesn't
recognize my email. Well,
that is wonderful... how did I get the email
from their office, if it
doesn't recognize my email... Oh, well, I emailed
back and told them there was
a mere little problem... so will take care
of that today when they
email back.

I know you have heard this
before.. BUT I HATE CHANGE!!

49 years ago, I was sitting,
well actually laying in a hospital, waiting
for the magic to finish...
and then there was this cute little boy with
black hair, long hair. Which
was really weird as his two sisters came
to the world, bald, and
toothless and blonde/red headed.

His father was thrilled, as
it looked like side burns... you know the Elvis
look. He is our first son...
so he became spoiled. And as he aged he
became no sister's fool as
they tried to pull things on him. He was an
escape artist, as he made it
over to the neighbors house for cookies by
removing his slates in his
playpen, and pulled up the fencing from the
bottom and scooted
under. His sisters dared him to ride a
calf bull that
was in our yard, that belong
to his uncle. They had tried and was dumped
off right away... Which at
the mere age of 3 he climbed on and rode it to the fence.

He has a smile a mile wide.
He is a great husband, father and grandfather.
Lover of the woods, his
Harley and pulling jokes on his brothers. But first
to help out. And I can't wait until next year..... you
see.... son #1 is turning
49 today...

& if all went right...

This sign kind of said it all for our Saturday.. With us waking up to pouring down
rain... we had a cookout planned for at least 2 months... with invite to 14 people.
We woke with .. WHAT THE HEY? What do we do now???...
So it was time to putt.... shift gears.. and set up tables in the house...for a cook in..




So the King started cooking... the whole inside was ready for 14 to eat... but then to our
surprise... out came the sun... So it was make shift sitting cushions.(others were soaked)
out comes the tablecloths.. and wha.. la... we are ready for a cook out after all...

Fun was had by all...good food, good friends, lots of laughter...

See the sign was right.. & if all went right, what would we have to look forward to?

Thank goodness for blogging...

On Thursday night, I saw my computer, lack of a better
word..crash.
I was doing a restart after doing a restore... and a little
sign came up
that had letters and numbers, telling me, that it wasn't
going to start
because it was lacking something I needed to reset up. After trying
everything I could think of.. and still could not get pass
the sign.
Restart, cooling off ,safe mode and etc.
So had to resort to F3, the
Recovery... which means good bye all things personal on the
computer.
Documents, pictures and etc.. Back to factory condition... meaning
when I got it from the factory.

My heart sank, because it had been about 3 months since I
had down
loaded my recent pictures. Which I do every 3 months.. but
hadn't
gotten to it... GOOD BYE PICTURES...

But wait.. I can get some of them.. I have some of them on
my
BLOG.!!! So it isn't
a total loss.. It is a recovery of about 2%,
put at least it isn't total.

Right now, it isn't as bad as I fear, because I had saved
important
things.. but the realization of it all, will come when I go
to retrieve
what I need... and find out ... that it was before the crash...
Gosh I miss hard copy paper stuff...space consuming yes, but
at
least it doesn't disappear before your eyes..

On top of the list of things that humble you... computer
crashing
has to be up there at the top.

And thank you son#4 for not only telling me that a computer
is just
a toy, (a darn frustrating toy), but for giving me a outside
of the computer
hard drive to download things to safe..

Onward, forward, and
trying not to look back...

The hurrier I go, the more behind I get...

I have so many things on my plate this week...

Last night I had nothing to post about... (a lot of times I will post date a posting for the next day.).. so figured morning would come and something would
enlightening me.. NOTHING... plus the fact I started
as soon as my feet hit the floor..

So far this morning, I have brought in the garbage pails (garbage day today) and
the neighbors.. I have pulled stuff out of the freezer, started to par boil eggs,
and potatoes and meat for this weekends get together...

And now I am preparing the cut veggies I need, cut, chop, slice and etc.
I grabbed a cup of coffee.. opps forgot breakfast.... dog is barking, it is
time to go get the mail.. Her highlight of the day.. to come back with her
head out of the window, with the breeze with her ears flying...

So much to do, and it is suprising... how much fun I am having, since I gave
up reading about the latest hate emails, and watching the latest on the television.
We saw about a minute as we were switching channels the other night.. and we
looked at each other.. wow.. so vicious and they haven't even started the convention yet. Wow.. and the ticker tape was giving a question, "should we skip
the conventions?" my vote would be, might as well, as they aren't what they
use to be.. most of it is decided already as it is..

Well, buzzer is buzzing for the precook.. have a great weekend..

Life's joys....

Over the years the King and I have joked about him in a red convertible.

We have passed some and I will point out, there goes your car..

Well, when we were at the "go to guy" for our mechanic stuff.. in the

parking lot for sale was a 1995 RED Pontiac Firebird. And of course the

famous words came.. look... there is your car... lol...

Well, he decided to look at it and was given the chance to go for a spin.

I was driving my car back home, as I passed him going back to the garage.

I didn't see any grill at all on that car.. it was all out shined by the grin on

my dear husband's face. I knew there was going to be a red car in our future.

He hummed and hawed for two days.. yes, I want it.. we shouldn't spend the

money on another car... no we don't need it... where am I going to put it in

the winter.. (I added, he could clean out the small garage and put it in there.)

Yea, but we have too many. I replied we could sell my little white car, as

it was starting to nickel and dime us.. Yea, that would be nice.. but no.. I

don't need it..We will get it for you, he says... Oh, no, I replied.. this is all

your car... And that is the way it went all day and night on Monday.

Tuesday, he calls from work on lunch time.. what are you doing, he asked.

Nothing, just some house work and etc. why? Well, I was thinking... I think

I will stop by to see the red car... lol.. Thought you had decided you didn't want

it. Well, I was just thinking.. Told him this was his last chance to the

"Red Convertible".... so he better think hard... it would be the last expensive

item, that he will get while I am alive.. So better make up your mind.

He comes home.. paces, tells me what the bottom line was for the price..

Checked with insurance gal, and it is affordable... So we went over and looked

and he is still humming and hawing.. told him last chance.. now or never.

OK, I will .. we went in .. paid for it, went to the motor vehicles dept, got

license, went to insurance company .. all covered...

He takes me for a ride in it.. and I asked.. so what finally got you to say

ok? He said, he didn't want to be sitting in a wheel chair in a nursing home

and think... I COULD HAVE HAD A RED CONVERTIBLE...lol...

So being we had not gotten each other anything for our birthdays, as we

couldn't think of anything we needed... that we had all we needed.. and that

was each other... I told him... HAPPY BIRTHDAY.. for the next 4 years. lol..

After all when a guy turns 60... he deserves to have something special.

And that grin, as he drove out of the driveway.. paid for it in full...

The joys of life.. for me.. at least, is to see someone I love, so very

happy...

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words..

This is a friend of ours.. he has been in several parades this year...

the people behind me as I was recording were in awe .. wondered how

he trained that dog.. and were the sheep trained as well? lol

My money's worth and that is all....

If I go to a concert, (which I probably wouldn't anymore) and pay big bucks..
I expect to get my money's worth.
The entertainer owes me that much.

If I watch a show on television... I expect the entertainer to do a good show.
The entertainer owes me that much...

If I buy a cd or even a dvd... I expect the entertainer to do it well..
so I get my money's worth.
The entertainer owes me that much...

What the entertainer does NOT owe me..
is his or her personal life. Not the style, not the family life,
not their attitude about life. None of these.

I am sure I must be in the minority about this..
other wise all those scanda sheet type magazines, and papers,
wouldn't be selling so many of them.
And the different shows like Entertainment Tonight and such
wouldn't have such high ratings.
All of these, I do not buy nor watch.

The idiots and scum that run around within a foot of all
these entertainers, is not doing it for me.
See I could care less what the actor, singer and his/her family does.
Where they go on their own time. I sure the heck would not want
anyone doing to me.. what those do, to the entertainer.

Yes, I know, that a lot of the entertainers bring it on themselves.
Not all of them but I am sure the younger they are, the more their
ego's have to be fed. But the ones I really feel bad for, are the children,
of these entertainers. Use to be they were off limits.
But now it is a free for all. I have to question the safety of the
children in all of this.

I don't know why, but none of this appealed to me.
Same goes for my neighbor. Or even my family.. what goes on
in their own private life, is none of my business.
I am strictly on a need to know basis.
If they need me to know, they will tell me.
I won't ask.


a note....
I might be late posting tomorrow... or might even skip it.. have several things
to do, one of which is getting the car fixed.. So if I am a no show tomorrow..
don't fret.. lol.. as if you would.. lol

gone

GONE FROM POSTING.......
VISITING WITH OUR OUTLAWS...
WE ARE ALL OUTLAWS IN OUR FAMILY...
WE HAVE ALL AGREED.. THAT A HOLIDAY ON WEDNESDAY IS
JUST NOT RIGHT.. AS EVERYONE HEADS TO WORK THIS AM.

HAVE A GREAT 4TH... SEE YOU NEXT WEEK..

I act like a grown up

At least I think I do.
And I am really getting sick and tired of being treated as a child because
other adults do not take responsibility of being an adult.

When others go thru life feeling the rest of us are responsible for their mistakes.
And we end up changing our lives to make it easier for them. I am talking
about the latest of these measures. The child proofing of laundry soap.

I happen to use the new Tide colorful soap packets. It works great for me.
But because some mother's who don't act responsible ...I have to deal with another "CHILD PROOF PACKAGE"

What kind of mother puts her laundry soap where a child can get it anyway?
I had many products that were not for children to handle.
I kept them in high closet/cupboards. I had later, when I became a grandparent, a child clip on cupboards.

Never did I think the product makers had to child proof the product for me.
It was MY responsibility to make sure my children, my grandchildren
were safe..NOT the producer, nor the government.

GROW UP PEOPLE!!!!

Monday Morning down...

I am becoming a creature of habit...
It is Monday, so that means wash day.

Every week.. same thing.. Every Monday
and every Thursday. wash day.
Tuesday is vacuum day.
Never was organized before.. if anything just the oppose it.

Now why I don't do all of it in one day, I
can't tell you.. seems like it isn't as bad if
I spread it out. Besides even if you do it all
in one day.. you just have to do it over in
2 days anyway. lol...

And of course, weather has everything to do
with the schedule.. because when it is beautiful
out, I am out of here.. can't stand to be in the
house, when the weather is good.

And because today promises to be great, I have
coffee cup in hand and I am out of here.. Have a good day.
