Sunny Day!

Floyd made a trip to Peppers on his trike. He visits with neighbors along the way, so it is a social thing for him. Today is really a lovely day and he is outside enjoying the sunshine with his radio, the dogs, a beer and cheese snacks. Life doesn't get much better than that. I was outside with him earlier. Now I am watching tv and playing on the computer. Floyd bought me some Nacho Doritos, which I love. He said "I saw them and thought of you", lol.

Things are fine here. Our friends the Watsons are getting over the Flu, Pat's eldest James is about to graduate high school, Kim just got married, things are going Stewart's way and all is right with the world.

Gotta get me a diet coke and check out those Doritos. Talk with you later.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Oops!

Floyd was cutting the grass today and he accidentally ran over a pvc drain pipe, eek! So tomorrow he will probably run over to Stew's to get another little piece of pipe. The grass had grown up over the pipe and he didn't see it.

Beautiful weather here and just about all over the U.S. We spent much of the day outdoors. The rest of the week should be more of the same. So all the news is about that pervert Governor of New York, Spitzer. Well, make that the ex-Governor. Can you believe it??

Nothing new!

Nothing new happening around here. Congrats to grandson Nicholas who just made the Varsity soccer team, goooo Nicco!

Mississippi Primary tomorrow and Obama is expected to win. After all Mississippi is 37% Black, nuff said.

Our weather has been iffy. Still no rain and the balance of the week should be in the low 70s. We are still adjusting to the time change, lol.

The History Channel says that we are "between Ice Ages", so much for global warming.

Gonna watch some talking heads on TV. Take care all, have a good week.

Spring Chores

Floyd is fertilizing our plants and trees. We haven't purchased our peach trees yet so we can do them when they are planted. I'm glad he is fertilizing everything. I don't know what he is using, because he went to the store and bought something and when he came home, he said "I bought something for the shrubs and trees, and it isn't your kind of stuff", lol.

The wind just came up out of the west. It seems as if we will have a couple of cooler days this week. So I still haven't gone to the library and will do this sometime this week. I was up late last night watching the Primaries, and I'm kinda slow today. I began fixing dinner about a half hour ago. Had to thaw some chicken. I am fixing a large chicken breast for Floyd and legs for me and the doggies. I am also fixing some mac & cheese and mixed veggies. We have pie for desert, so I don't think I need fix more.

Well old McCain made it. He's kind of skanky, cheated on his first wife with Cindy and most likely cheated on Cindy from all reports. I don't think he can be trusted. So this is my opinion and he is so old now, he probably has forgotten more than he ever knew, lol.

Talk with you all later. Have a good week.

March 1st, 1008

Our plum tree has lots and lots of blooms, yea! I need to check out some peach trees at Walmart and Kmart next week. We have noticed that all the trees are greening up nicely here in Deming. I just love Spring. Floyd took a bike ride today and bought himself a few beers. He hasn't had any in about 6 months because one of his meds just made beer taste awful. He has since had the dosage of the med changed, and he said he enjoyed his beer today with no side effects. You know at our age, simple pleasures are about all we have and I am glad he will be able to have a couple of beers daily during the long hot summer that we always have.

Just finished a book by Harlan Cobin, he is just a great author. He writes American detective mysteries which are my favorite. I'll be back at the library come Monday, lol. Well, I need to go over to my other blog, the one about space tourism and do some updates. Hope you enjoy your Sunday!

I am soooo pissed!

Floyd brought me coffee and the morning's paper this morning and he said "you are not going to like what you read in the paper". Sure enough I didn't. The headlines read " Governor Richardson blocks entrance to Deming, casino". The article said that employees of the casino and tribal members would be allowed in but he is waiting for the Feds to give their ok because he sees this tribal action as an "illegal casino". Oh well, hope this thing gets going as it was supposed to open today.

There has been a lot of violence south of the border right here. Palomas has been the scene of numerous shootings and killings in the past month. Yesterday, there was more automatic gunfire and more bodies laying in the streets, so much so that our local police and state troopers rushed down and closed the border entrance temporarily until the Mexican government could get things under control. The big drug cartels are now operating openly right here, south of our border. It moved from Laredo to Juarez and now to the little town of Palomas. It is drug dealers fighting one another over who controls the drugs along the border. Nobody cares if they want to kill each other, but innocent people can get caught in the crossfire. I understand the Mexican government has agreed to send more federales to that side of the border.

Our weather is the good news. Deming is greening up. We went to the library yesterday and noticed that the cottonwood trees had big buds on them, yea! Our roses are sprouting new leaves and Spring is definitely here. Floyd made me promise not to plant any more flowers but he said I could plant a peach tree. I want two of them, lol. One yellow and one white! Our temp should be up in the 70s today, so another great day to spend outdoors. Yesterday Floyd dug trenches around all the trees and removed some unwanted growth from the bushes and watered everything so he doesn't have any yard work to do today. Have a good one y'all.
