Welcome back!

Recently our church had some question over a water pipe.

I found out that the pipe that was in the ground was not the correct type. It was a flex pipe, not metal hose, not PVC, not any type of approved pipe that can be used for water.

I realize that for things like gas, and oil, you have to use a special type of pipe for safety’s sake. Little did I know that even for a pipe in the ground for watering your yard, or your livestock, it also has to be a certain type that is approved by the local building inspector.

Live another day and learn something new. That’s life.

I have heard about others who are having a lot of cold, and snow.

Meanwhile, most of the time our weather is above 40. Where is winter?

We need winter to slow down the growth of fire ants and other stuff. I was raised up north where snow was one of the give-aways of winter. (St.Louis MO) Down here in Texas, snow is a rarity. Also a rarity is a freeing temperature. It does have its uses after all.

Have you ever thought about what type of noises the human body makes?

I didn’t until I started to make strange noises myself. The amount of ingenuity it takes to make sure that you can keep breathing without rattling or otherwise disturbing the peace can be totally amazing.

Just trying the clear your nose to inhale, trying to keep your mouth from drying out when the nose is totally stopped up, just trying to be comfortable….well, I am glad that noises do not make me sick.

The idea that a simple cold can lay the idea of silence to rest is amazing.

I appear to have a head cold.

Yuk. phooey is absolutely the best that I can say about it.

I am grumpy, tired, aching, grumpy. Did I say grumpy twice? It is very true. My head feels as if the cotton Bowl was played in it and they forgot to remove the cotton afterwards.

I do NOT want to talk about what has been getting coughed up. The human body is not as elegant as some fashion models think that it is. The things that ooze out of it are disgusting!

It is after the hype.

The New Year is here and it kind of looks like any other year. Now what?

Life goes on.

Joy of joys, yep.

I realize that after Christmas, many people are at the store returning, or exchanging what they ha gotten as presents.

One way to avoid that is to get something special. Getting personalized gifts for her, or for him helps. If you know the types of things that someone wants, or something very specific, it does save a lot of hassle.

I am fortunate in that my tastes are simple and I like almost every thing that I have ever received. In fact I remember one Christmas I received blocks of plain paper, crayons, tape, scissors, and lots of coloring pencils. I had a ball.

No, it is not a name.

I took one word from an older Christmas carol to express what has happened in the last day or so. Saturday our church went on a hay ride and had a blast. Young and old, singing and non-singing, going through a nearby neighborhood, serenading anyone who wanted to listen.

We waved at passing cars, had people honk and wave back. This was fun and a time to treasure.

Today, we had church with a great message, great meal, a new singer who played a guitar beautifully, and afterward we exchanged gifts. We ended up having more laughter, smiles, and fun.

I hope that you can have a great time with your family, friends and others and also have a great time.

Where we live here in Central Texas, apartments are sometimes hard to come by. When people get an apartment and are happy with it and the people around it, they hold onto to it.

The next thing that someone might do is look for houses for rent. Paying rent on a house will help the house owner, and give another option to the persons looking for a place to live.

Of course since we live within 50 miles of Fort Hood military installation, rentals do not come cheap. If you are looking for a place, do not give up, it is probably out there somewhere.

Yup,. it is coming. Valentines day is coming, Christmas is coming, New Year’s Day is coming and so is Easter.

All of these holidays are on the way. Thanksgiving has passed, my tummy is still happy. Of course, pumpkin pie is also good for Christmas. For me, that type of pie is good all of the time.

It has been a while since I have had mincemeat pie. I still miss it, along with snow.

Well, another holiday is around the corner again.

Some are thinking about getting gifts for people, others are thinking about food, others are thinking about decorations. Of course with all that is going on, people will write about what is going on at their home.

I sit here and work at a desktop computer that sometimes gets stubborn. I makes me want to think about other things like: a new computer, a laptop,refurbished netbooks even if such a thing would work. I guess it is time for me to do another disc clean to clear out some old memory stuff. Talk to you later.
