The Purina Diet

I have 2 large dogs, and was buying a large bag of Purina at Wal-Mart and was in line to check out.

The woman behind me asked if I had a dog?

Duh?

On impulse, I told her no, I was starting The Purina Diet again.

Although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital the last time. But I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes everywhere and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and the way it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again

I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story, particularly a tall guy who was standing behind her.

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me?

I told her no, I'd been sitting in the street licking my butt and a car hit me.

I thought the guy standing behind her was going to need help as he staggered to the door laughing

Lots to do... I guess we have some extra help to get ready for Sunday... starting now... Heather and Paul are going fishing and camping out this weekend.... and we have the kiddos coming to stay. Ann just got a call to run to Andrew's school and pick him up because he got sick to his stomach... so I guess we are off to the races... I guess Madison and Andrew are staying with us till Sunday night.... Wow, how cool to be Grandparents!!! The very best things that happen in our lives happen because of our wonderful family.

Sign of the times....

My youngest son Jacob... Jake has a welding business. Moffat Welding LLC and he is working for Goober Drilling in Stillwater, OK. and is helping them repair a bunch of rigs as they change location. They will start building new rigs later in the late summer of early fall. He just filled up his truck with diesel and his welding machine and it cost 198.00 to do so, and this is his fuel bill for one week. Can you imagine that what it would be if he lived further than 2 miles to work? So of the other welders drive from OKC and other places daily to work... wow... and Jake's truck only goes to location and back, not one extra trip. This is up about 75.00 over where it was a year and half ago when he was in Woodward working with Billy Keys working for Bronco Drilling.

This is indeed a sign of the times... This Sunday we are all getting together to celebrate Mother's Day with Ann who was traveling last weekend... This might be our last time to do such as a family this summer ~ with the price of fuel being what it is... Doesn't take a nat's brain to figure out what these types of prices are doing to the family budget. Most folks are not taking vacations, or if they do, are taking them very close to home... less eating out, most restaurants are telling us this. Tires are out of site, oil changes have about doubled, car sales are lagging, and this is just the start...

but on a nice note... last evening Isabella came over for Ann and I to watch while Jake and Trisha helped Jake's team (He is a coach in little league in Perkins) have a game. We did not get to go to Stillwater and watch the grandson's like we had planned, but ... it was a nice trade off. She is such a sweet little girl... she is now starting to hold her head up and look around and pay attention to noises, etc. and lets you know when things are not quite right... haha...

have a great day.... s
