End of My List

Wow!!! I have finished and crossed off the last thing that was on my TO DO list...It only took me 2 months since we moved in but now I need to start me a new list...
the biggest thing was to get the stinky refrigerator, that the renters left, all cleaned out and put back together... We hooked it up today and it runs good...

Wes is feeling sorry for the bird and bought a real feeder...between the dogs and squirrel knocking over the other one, the birds never had any seed....
Then he is out in the back yard, moooing at the cows that are in the back pasture and waving the steaks at them before he Bar B Q...sick man...lol

The weather was great today, it was 89 with a nice breeze ,,,took a ride this afternoon up I-45 to I-20 just to see whats up that way (nothing) ..could see the outline of downtown Dallas...Stopped at Walmart in Ennis on way way down I-45, ohhh, they have a fabric /craft section at that store...35 miles is better than 55 to Waco...

Austin weekend

Wes and I went to Austin a day early. It Saturday eveing...oh no It was "Batfest" and couldnt get near it. I guess they have a weekend they clebrate the bats flying out from under the bridge, which they do every night... We wasnt going for that anyways, we went to a restraunt called "Threadgills". Not too bad of a wait 30 minutes or so... afterwards we drove around and up and down 6th street, just sightseeing.
On Sunday we met Larry and his family at the airport and all headed over to one of Aunt Kathryns favorite Bar B Q places, she took everyone for good old Texas Bar B Q...They were closed, so disappointing but found Green Mesquite Bar B Q across the road in a shopping center that was open... Had good lunch and visited. After lunch Larry and his family went back to airport to pick up Vicki. So we went back to change for the service and met at the church. Had a nice memorial service and her Tx church was very gracious to us.
After the reception we all headed over to Uncle Gene grave and took pictures and sprinkled a cup of Aunt Kathryn ashes over Gene grave.
Larry and his family and Vicki left about 7:30 to drive to Tivoli Tx, near the gulf coast, where Aunt Kathryn ashes would be buried next to Uncle Clayton this morning.
It was nice to able to put faces with names for Gene daughters and family. Wish I had taken a picture of Uncle Clayton sister and her daughter.

With A Very Heavy Heart,,,

With a very heavy heart we say "Peace be with You, Aunt Kathryn" who passed away on Wed. Aug.12th, 2009. She was a great lady who loved the lord. She will be truly missed by all.
There will be a memorial service in California on Sat. Aug. 22 then another service in Dripping Springs, TX. Sunday Aug. 23 and then she'll be buried Monday morning Aug.24th in Tivoli TX. next to Uncle Clayton.

Little Church

Well I went to the little church today and I felt very comfortable...There were about 30 people. All very friendly and down to earth...they do some Methodist songs and traditonals but the sermon was straight from the bible...no stories, politics, or personal opinions ..Straight gospel and how to apply it to our daily lifes...
so I'll see what next week holds and might stay for Sunday School class...they also have a Thur night bible study they invited me too.
Several people asked if they could call and check on us this coming week,,,even the pastor and his wife.

Country Life

Last week the UPS man came to deliver 2 big boxes..They were from Mary (aka: Aunt Curly). It was our retirement / house warmer present. I love the white rockers. Thanks Mary...
The baby birds have left the nest but they return in the evening after a day of flying and doing whatever birds do...
LOL.. as you go down FM 709 road towards town, there is a tractor that had a stuffed old man on it...he was slowly tilting off the tractor. We see that they have propped him up and changed him to look like Elvis...the things you do to keep yourself and others entertained...
