we are gittin RAIN today!!!!!! whooooooeeeeeee! lots and LOTS of rain!!! i’ve known it was coming for weeks, and we’ve had a few sprinkles but today is a downpour.. and am so thankful to God for it, we desperately needed it.  This should put all the forest fires out for good now.. still had some woods burning 30 miles north of us but this will definitely put them out.  No lightening or anything with this beautiful rain.. so shouldn’t start any new fires, and hopefully, the burn ban will be lifted and we can burn trash again. Have a great weekend everyone! God Bless.

Happy Day!

hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.  we had a small cookout here, i did the chicken so it wouldnt git burned to a crisp this time (lol) and the weather was great and everyone had a good time.  very nice weather but we sure need some rain!  “arthur” says it’s going to rain soon, but of course, i never know when.. just that it’s going to .. eventually.. somewhere near us or on us. lol 


My great-aunt Tilly died on the 19th of May.  She was an awesome lady.  She’d been in a nursing home for the last 5 years or so.. we always had a great time visiting her on her farm in texas.. she made homemade bread and butter, using the milk from her own cows.  We’d spend our days ‘gittin lost’ in the fields and rarely came home before dark.  She was one very special lady and i’ll miss her a lot, but i will always have my memories of my childhood summers spent on the farm.  God Bless u Tilly, now ur with Oswald, Raymond, and Mom.
