Back Home for a Few Days!

Buddy Watching for Lynn!

We are just back from Dallas today! It feels good to be home. Went to Clay Day on Tuesday and Lynn worked Wed. and Thursday. Boy, did we get rain on Wednesday---cool weather and rainy day---loved it. Saw the grandkids on Wednesday and worked on my FaceBook with Jennifer. I have much to learn but little by little, right. Probably a little old to have a FaceBook but have to keep up with the grandkids, right!

Trying to update my websites---use it or loose it and I have lost it. Took some good lessons from a very good friend of mine last week but didn't go right home and work on it and when I started to do it-----well, brain freeze. Will try to do more soon. Then I have promised myself to keep up with it.

Lynn bought me a new high back--very soft Broyhill leather office chair! It is wonderful---my old one was not as comfortable lately and didn't have padded arms so not sure but might have been the cause of my back problems. WE WILL SEE. So far so good---really great.

Yard work tomorrow! UG! The rain here while we were gone really make everything green and GROW. Guess that is good as August in Texas can be BROWN!

When we got home today our new Bose Radio/CD radio was here. I have always wanted one since I was at a home of a friend years ago and heard hers. WOW!!!! The sound is amazing. I can also attach my Ipod or Iphone to it so that will be a GOOD thing. It has two remotes and a clock/alarm in it, too. We are going to love it, I know.

Found this picture again tonight. Just love it. Jennifer when she was about 1 year old. Always a smile and she is that way today! We want to scan some of the pictures and sort them for the kids. Passing on the boxes of pictures so they can do with they want with them. Sure brings back memories---and some of them bring a tear to my eyes as our time with them seemed to go so fast. My Dad always said, "the older one gets, the faster time passes" and was he right!

Live each day to the fullest!!!

Been Sorting Pictures! Will Post When I Find Them!

Here is a picture I took out our VW car window as we crossed a dam. It was fall and as I looked out the window, there we were, a shadow on the area below the dam. Interesting!

Middle of the Month Already!!!

Just about that time again!!!!

August is half over here in Texas and I think I heard that we have had 30 days of over 100 so far this year. Now that sounds bad but the humidity has not been high only a few days of the 30 so really has not been as terrible as it sounds. I do look forward to fall cause after my scooter ride last night in the cool late afternoon, it's going to be fun. I am studying for my test for the Motorcycle license---it's been 46 years since I took a written or driving test so I do need to study up for sure. Hope you can take it several times The worst will be having the Highway Patrol officer following me in our car---riding with Lynn. Oh, he has to do the same as me---wonder who will have to go first?????? Put the Zuma up for sale tonight on Craig's List

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/798691638.html (motorcycles/scooters) both in East Texas and Dallas. Hope it sells--------keep your fingers crossed.

Know anyone who needs a great little scooter????

Buddy fighting with the Sherpa (lamb skin) seat cover we have for him. We have to drug him in the car and guess he wasn't quite ready to leave Dallas!!!!! That bite was caught on his tooth!!!

We have been in Dallas for several days so far this month and still will go in this week and next. They thought they had a new guy starting at the court last week but he decided to take a full time job soooooo we are still in the "work more than 6 days a month mode" for sure. Lynn doesn't seem to mind and with the apartment there, it is nice to just kick back, use the pool and enjoy some of the Big D!!!

Sydney and Jennifer after the show.

Lynn and I sure did enjoy it. We couldn't take flash shots and I didn't have my tripod and Nikon with me so didn't get such great shots in the theater. She was good in it and I know she really seems to love the productions. This is her second one this summer, the last one was the Wizard of Oz. The Plano theater groups sure do a great job with the kids. School is about to start and we look forward to more musical and plays this coming year.

Well, need to go and watch the Olympics again tonight. Nastia (gymnast) lives down the street from Jennifer about 7 houses. We are thrilled for her and it great fun knowing Plano and West Des Moines did so well!!!!

Looking forward to a great weekend and hope you have one too!!!!!!

TOO HOT TO RIDE

Well, a woman has the right to change her mind---that is what I say and I did!!!
The scooter (Yamaha Zuma) I bought two weeks ago didn't work for me. I tried with all my might but could NOT put it up on the stand in the back sooooooo Lynn bought me one with a kick stand and now I can go by myself!!!!! Pictures above of my new Copper Vintage 150cc Lance scooter!!!!! I am thrilled. Sits great, quiet and lots of storage space for my runs to Wally World. We were out there last night a drew a crowd like we did the last time we went out there. Folks just want to know more about them. Also, it's a look---white haired 62 year old on a scooter with her hair flapping in the wind!!! Lynn is thinking about selling his and of course the Zuma (any one want a deal?)and getting one like this. It is a NICE bike!

Well, had two acupuncture treatments one onThurs and one on Friday and after Thurs. NO PAIN!!!! I was to the end of my rope. The pain was so bad that I could not walk--- it is amazing. I will go for another treatment on Monday afternoon and maybe Wed. But I am fine now. What a strange thing. You don't feel anything! Really---I hate needles but I guess they are so small (thin) you just don't feel them. I am Really amazed!!! Life might get better for me now. I was in such pain, I didn't want to do anything, go anywhere, see anyone and that is NOT me. WOW---if you have pain, you might want to try it. Sure does beat that "Back Dr." routine that they can put one thru---fusion etc. Life is good again!!!!!

It is really hot here in Texas this week!!!! 104 today here in Mineola. We are heading back in to the apartment for the week. Lynn works and I have a clay day and a couple of acupuncture treatments!

More soon, as I want to take a pic of the Buddy on the cycle!!!
