Ok Gamma and I have a cease fire going, forcast for rain... 130+ days without any will bring all sides together, ah alas a 3ft circle with only 37 drops in it(actual count) does not count as rain, rest assured the truce still stands but we are gathering allies against the evil weather man who keeps promising RAIN and delivers only drops...
I can't believe I pray for rain, the pollen around here is so thick you can see it and the desert floor is so dry I'm afarid to fa%$# for fear that I will add to the explosive enviorement.
Rain, Rain, if I could do a rain dance I would but as you all know by now I'm white(and proud of it) and I can't dance, or jump, not a step, but how I wish it would rain!
P.S. Bella thought all 37 drops were, well interesting, chase or run, didn't have much of a chance to decide, they dried up really fast, but that was the first time she had to shake rain off.

War is On
I'm back.
Now maybe we can't miss the HubbyHoney Do List.
Problem though. I think I started a war. HubbyHoney was just talkin bout a Gamma List.
OH NO!

Updated the HubbyHoney do List
Wow, the summer just zoomed by. It and Bella have alot in commom. Zoom Zoom!
So, today I updated the HubbyHoney do list. There's always next year, right?
Bella is finally loosing her puppy fangs. For a while she had all double teeth. That was quite a mouth full for her. She's down to only one lower puppy fang left. But sure looks funny to have the two teeth side by side. Really looked funny with all eight. If we'd had batteries for the camera, we could have gotten some pictures.
Hopefully, one of us will remember batteries soon. It's truly amazing how many great pictures you feel like you miss when you can't use the camera. Yes, like the lizard on the screen that Bella was trying to play with. In reality, by the time we could have gotten the camera and been ready to take the picture, the lizard would have run away. But, it was a cute thought.
Need to go find how to move the HubbyHoney Do List up so HubbyHoney can actually find it. Now wonder we didn't get much done on it, it's too far towards the bottom of this page to see.
I'll be back!

Our Life
I tried to take some pictures today of the things I love the most around here, does anyone remember the phrase "batteries not included" well I do now, so use your imagination, the covey of quail flying away from Miss. Zoom Zoom (aka Bella) her first try at hunting must have been 50 or more, good year for babies. The rabbit left without a trace, but the stick got chewed into little pieces, go figure. Back to the pictures I missed, the baby lizzard teasing Bella on the other side of the screen, who would have thought a lizzard and a dog would play together, as long as they have a screen between them, should have seen it, oh I was going to take some pictures!
Gamma and Bear, I can't even begin to describe that, except to say she looks really good on him!!!
Niki teaching Bella the way in and out of the horse pens, not really a good thing but funny just the same, bouuncing over(or in the case of Bella) under the pannels, how I wish I had batteries.
4 dogs, 2cats, saddly 4 horse, yes we have pictures to share, if only I could remember the D..#$ BATTERIES

A Good Bye To Sweet D
Gamma and I said goodbye to Sweet D yesterday, no she is doing fine she just went to a new home.
The unfortunate facts of life sometimes get in the way of plans. With the lowering of my income and Gamma going back to work we did not have the time to do her justice, so the decision was made to let someone else share in her life. We met a really nice couple that we feel will really be a good fit.
Genny and Sweet D connected right off the bat with Sweet D letting her rub her side and kisses were exchanged, we know that she is going to be happy in her new place.
As we began the process of loading her I felt a little strange knowing that I was helping her get into that big scary cave to go for a ride to a strange place to live with strange people. Will we ever see her again? We have a standing invitation to drop by and visit, will we I don't know, goodbyes suck bad enough the first time to risk the emotions of a second?
Gamma and I have a wonderful life and family, our human family is important to us, healthy and happy, Grand kids growing like weeds, but our kids at this point of our lives are our animals and when you send one off to college it leaves a empty place in your heart(and an empty pen)
So we say bye and may you find good sweet hay and cool clear water and new friends to take for long rides and enjoy new things along the way!

The Morining After The Day Before
What does it mean to be an "Old Fart" let me count the ways.
1) The things you did yesterday hurt more than Advil can take care of.
2) The things you did yesterday cause certain parts of your body to look different than they did.
3) The puppy is ten times hevier than she was yesterday.
4) The T.V. has to be that much louder.
5) Do you realize how far it is to the bathroom? I do now.
6) Taking the puppy for a walk is work.
7) Did you know football is on all day on Sunday? I do now.
8) Nap time is a good thing, not for the kid(or puppy) but for you.
9) I forgot this one but that goes along with the rest of the theme. Oh yea memory that was it, but I forgot what I was going to say.
10) Sorry but gotta go gotta go right now!!!
Well now sometimes I crack myself up but the real truth is more of the top 10 than you know is true! (I'll be right back gotta go)
Reality is as you get older you figure out what is important and what doesn't matter, with the weekend's storm in Tx and having even more family than I was aware of the mondane things of feeding and walking the dog's, making sure every one has water and so forth, hearing voices on the other end of the line brings life into prospective.
Happy B-Day to me! All is well with my family!!

Cat 2 vs Cat 3
What is the true difference between a Cat 2 hurricane and Cat 3 hurricane? Yes, I know there are real standards for each. Maybe based on wind speed?
But when you are where the hurricane is, what is the difference? Maggie said if this was only a Cat 2, she would never want to be in a Cat 3. She was thinking this would just be a good way to have a hurricane party and maybe miss a couple days work without recourse. She was wrong. She said if there is ever another hurricane coming that is close to a Cat 2, she's gone. This was one big scary "&((mailto:*#@%&*%$*&^)$#@43728*^&*" storm!
Arlo said, "This is awesome!" That was his first text message to me. As he drove around and saw more and more of the damage, reality started to hit. He said his friend and he had gotten a motel room where they thought they would be safe. Then they had gone to a friend's house to play Nintendo. After the storm's main hit, they headed back to the motel room. They couldn't get the door open. They went and got the manager to help open the door. When the door finally was opened, Arlo was in total amazement. The ceiling to their room had collapsed. He said Nintendo saved his life. If they hadn't gone to play Nintendo, they would have been that room. They could have been squished under that ceiling.
The power of nature!
Maggie just called. She is still totally awed by what this storm did. She is also questioning her preparation for getting through the aftermath. She stocked up on food. She didn't think about the part of no electricity for maybe a couple weeks. Her food needs refrigeration and then a way to cook it. Hamburger doesn't last long in 85 degree temperatures. No air conditioning, so the inside temperature matches the outside temperature.
Now no Maggie. Phone service is still very irratic. She did say her dad, uncle, and grandpa are all okay. That is very good. Still no word on Layla and Aurora. Hopefully we will hear from Arlo soon.
On to other things. Today is HubbyHoney's birthday. Time to do some barbeque. Good food! Yeah!
Oh, by the way. We just lost power. I was doing laundry, and the TV is on, and two computers, and the freezer, and the living room fan, and the phones. HubbyHoney went down and flipped a switch and our power was back. It's so great to have our own power system. Yesterday, Arlo was telling me he was sure wishing he had our generator.
Bye for now.

Hallelujah!
You just don't know how upset you might be about something until it's over. I was fine until I heard from both my kids. Then I kinda fell apart. Thank goodness for HubbyHoney. He took control and let me fall apart for awhile.
I am just so thankful by kids are okay.
So here's this song again. I hope.
I am just so thankful by kids are okay.
So here's this song again. I hope.
Thank you for your prayers
Both my kids, plus my ex-husband and my ex-family are in Houston, Texas. Gimpa Jon (aka HubbyHoney) sent out emails yesterday to all for prayers. Thank you for those prayers.
Arlo, my son, has called a minimum of three times today to let me know he is okay and what he is seeing in the aftermath of the storm. Thank God for my son and his acknowledgement that a mom needs to know her children are okay. He always comes through when there is a situation. I don't know how to say that in a clearer way. Just, thank you Arlo!
I have not yet heard from my daughter. It is now 6:30 pm.
Wait!! Just got a call from Maggie. She is fine. Her place is fine, just alot of fallen trees, so she couldn't get out of her apartment complex. She has no electricity, so doesn't know what is happening. No TV or radio, except now in her car.
Thank you God!
Will now wait to hear about any of the ex-family. They may be ex, but are still an important part of my life because they are still my family.
So, once again, thank you for your prayers!

Do You Rember?
Do you remember 9/11/2001? I do!!!That morning I was on vacation, taking an extra day off for my b-day weekend, my mom called and said "Turn on your t.v we are under attack" how she knew I was home only God knows, but we talked and then joined in prayer for our President Gerorge W. Bush (and thanked God that he was the Comander in Chief) Ok here is where you have to use your imaganation, those of us that are tech. challagened tried and it was a great idea...Didn't work so... insert Darryl Worley's " Do You Remember" Close your eyes and picture what you saw and felt... insert, Toby Keith's "Angry American"! another view of what we, or should I say I felt!!!
Now you can relax, I won't get to political (Gamma say's I do that from time to time) but, if you will, try Lee Greenwoods "God Bless The USA" you will know a little more about how I feel!
God Bless Us One And All!!!

Sunday Afternoon
Good Mouse
I caught that mouse. Hah!
Wait! It's getting away. I'll just ignore it so I can sneak up on it.
Getting closer. Still ignoring.
Hah! Caught that mouse again.
My Turn
My turn to see if I can get some pictures on here. Gimpa and I have been having problems getting this to work. Our digital camera takes great pictures, but finding the pictures in the computer to put them anywhere is very difficult for us. Has to be the software, can't be we are totally technically challenged. Could it? Naw.
It's a miracle. It worked!
Somebody have a clue why it finally worked? I don't. I just know it did.
