what happen?

well it's been awhile, been busy? really no excuses.  promise myself to stay up on this blogging thing. hopefully I will.
Mainly running the streets, with to Anna, Texas, (about an 30 to 45 minute drive from Dallas, an hour if traffic is backed up for miles) to visit the girls and grand kids. Cold and windy.
Christina, Ashley & me took to the streets to do little Christmas shopping for the little ones and try to get some kind of ideals what they would like.  no luck.

the week-end is over, Christmas get-together is over and out of the way for this year.

peace.

driveway verses

Mom lost this game of tag with the driveway yesterday.  so off to the emergency room, 3 hours later no broken bones, just a contusion, and lots of nicks.  x-rays of knee and the ole head. 

Today 2 black eyes already and very sore.  Just lucky she did not break anything, still has her sense of humor about it, scared the crap out of me when she called.

fundraiser

our church (give it a plug here) St. Peter's Episcopal in Pasadena, Texas has this fundraiser each year, so this year I decided to join in for the cause. Each table had a theme ours was halloween - table looked pretty damn good if I say so myself.

the food wasn't all that great nor was the entertainment, but the monies went to several good causes in the community.

Mom & Pauline had a fun time with Reggie Dixon (of the Harlem Globetrotters, he's been retired since 2000) and his Dad Jewel. Jewel has talked about Reggie so much seems like I've known him as long as I have Jewel. Finally got to meet him, fun guy, has a sense of humor like his Dad.

All in all a great night.

Boerne, Texas

had a great get-a-way weekend with Bill, in-laws Dee & Tom to Boerne for a classic car show over 300 cars. the weather was just right. unfortunately I forgot the damn camera. would have loved to have pics. of some of the cars. we stayed in San Antonio only 19 miles away from the show.

"isn't she lovely" ....well she sold! was kinda hoping she wouldn't - at least I know she is well loved.....had fun making her.

august is ending.

to top it off we had the yard of the month! go figure. the hostas are fried from the heat and sun, poor things. guess someone out there like it. fighting weird weeds in the grass and vines. time to call out the professionals. at least my sister-in-laws enjoyed a good laugh while they were here.

no sleep

hate it when I can't sleep. Wish I could get my creative juices flowing again.
