Well…dry

Saturday, October 1st, 2011

Welcome back!

Well, we did have a little rain.

The surface is dry now, I don’t know when we will have more rain, but we need it in a really intense way. The farmers and ranchers here are having a lot of worry right now concerning their crops, and animals.

I would hate to be someone who uses trees for log furniture since the fires here in texas have burned so much since the drought began. On the news the scientists seem to be trying to get folks worried about long lasting drought. It is not as if they know exactly when it will or will not rain. They are guessing.

I wonder what ever happened to people wanting to wish for good news instead of bad news?

Furniture to move

Friday, July 8th, 2011

Well, along with everything else, we (my husband, his bother, and I) have an apartment full of furniture to do something about.

We recently learned that mom will not be going home. The doctors, nurses and the physical therapists say that she is not steady enough to manage on her own. She is in her right mind, but her body can no longer do what is needed. She has some clothes that are not going over to the nursing home, curtis and co watches not included, books, videos, and other stuff.

I just wish that we had the money to pay for her to have a live in companion so this would not be necessary. We visit her as much as we can in spite of the gas involved. Talking on the phone is hard for her since she gets severely short winded very easily. We pray for her constantly.

I’m bored

Friday, February 26th, 2010

I am bored.

Great news isn’t it? Well, I guess that we all get to that point at one time or another. We have an entertainment center with TV, VCR, tapes (yes tapes), DVD’s, and a lot of other stuff on it. I just wish that entertainment centers would also come with their own entertainment.

I really don’t feel like watching a movie. TV does not really suit me right now. Maybe a book to read would be nice. The books that I have in our home, I have already read. I guess that I could go to sleep and join the millions of others in dream land. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - oops, see ya laters.

I have nuts

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

No, I did not say that I am nuts. Although, there are some of my friends that might think otherwise.

What I am referring to is that I have some nuts that I am going to plant. I want a tree outside of the front of our apartment. The landlord let me plant a small red bud tree there previously, but the drought killed it. It is not like I am wanting some preschool furniture from the lumber that will result, I just want shade in the mornings.

A tree would be wonderful. I was sad when the red bud died. I had been looking forward to having it bloom and be beautiful, oh well. I am going to try again. A friend gave me some nuts (acorns) from a tree where he lives. The tree itself is a live oak and it is shedding its nuts all over the place. I hope that at least one will grow and make a tree that will last for a long time. :)

Furniture

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

My house is full. I have book cases, tables, sofas, chairs, tv stands, entertainments center, computers. I have furniture.

What I need is probably storage or a bigger place to live. I have the feeling that I would end up with even more stuff, though. I guess that I need to learn how to eliminate the unnecessary junk that I have. The furniture that i have works for me and for my husband. The main problem that we have is that we are involved with a lot of different types of hobbies. Different types of arts & crafts, and all of the stuff that goes with it. Maybe we could use more storage cabinets with shelves and drawers. Not sure, maybe we should just try to clean house a little better. I hate cleaning. Shopping is fun. The only trouble with that is spending money, and getting more stuff that needs to be stored and not enough of the right type of furniture to store it in. :)
