Now this is a beauty rest mattress!!!

Posted by Picasa

One can almost feel the beauty... feel the moisture... smell the rain drops..


Some of Grandma Ann's beauty in her yard... after a spring shower and on a cloudy morning... with storms brewing in the west that would later that evening destroy a 1400 pop. town in Kansas... such beauty, perhaps this was Mother Nature shedding a tear before ... knowing full well what was to come...
We truly remember and pray for all those that lost so very much in the storms... our hearts are with you.


Maybe it's our tears... for those that lost it all..... in the tornados... on May 4th.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADISON ANN - I missed posting this last Friday... wow....


I missed posting this photo of my little Madison Ann last Friday. I am so so sorry. I got to see her and wish her happy Birthday, as Grandma and I kept them for a few hours after school while Mom and Trisha were doing some last minute Wedding things. We sang happy B'day... a 'LOT' and had a ball with the two of them. I think Grandma and I truly love this part of our lives, and we love all our grandkiddos VERY MUCH!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS. MADISON... AND YES WE KNOW IT WAS ON THE 4TH.... HAHA... SEE YOU LATER TODAY!!

Austyn came over and spent Saturday afternoon and evening with us.. and we really enjoyed his company very much!


He drew us several photos, but this one was the one he was most proud of so we want to share it with all our family and friends, as we are proud of it too. He is quite the artist! He is learning to play guitar, write and perform songs, and would be a very good actor if he were to try! Can you tell we are VERY proud of him???
Have a great day!

For my family who love music... here are some tunes from my youth!! enjoy!

head over to the link below... right click on link and save to desktop. Then open and enjoy... save or delete... These tunes represent the music of my youth... and the things I grew up with...

this is posted with the spirit of the game intended... not the consumption of boozes... !

GARY ENGLAND DRINKING GAME

(I left SleepingMommy's comments in parentheses because they made me giggle)(and I strongly suggest that you stock the liquor cabinet or invest in a keg before starting the game)

*Pregame


*1. Everyone selects a storm chaser other than Val Castor.
(Monty sez: I choose Hank when I just want a little buzz. He doesn't get as much action)
(Melessa sez: Gary uses other storm chasers besides Val Castor?)
(Val lives in Stillwater and Gary talks to him CONSTANTLY.)
Every time Gary talks to your storm chaser, you take one drink.
Take two drinks every time we see footage from your storm chaser.
Take four drinks if your storm chaser says “tornado on the ground.”

2. Everyone selects a county other than Pottawatomie County.
(Because we are always hearing about Pottawatomie County.)
Every time Gary mentions your county, you take one drink.
Take two drinks every time we see footage from your county.
Take four drinks if a tornado touches down in your county.

*One drink


*1. Take one drink every time Gary says the following:
“Hook echo” | “Updraft” | “Metro” | “Doppler radar” | “Wall cloud” |”Ranger 9″ | “Underground” | “Mobile home”
2. When Gary gives a list of counties, take one drink for every county in the list.
(Oklahoma has 77 counties but somehow they all get mentioned at some point.)
3. Take one drink every time Gary interrupts a program.
Take one drink if Gary says “You’re not missing any of [program name].” (This is a major concern!)
Take one drink when Gary says “We’ll keep you advised.” (Like we had any doubt that you wouldn’t.)

*Two drinks


*1. Take two drinks every time Gary says the following:
“Baseball-sized hail” | “Waterloo Road” | “Pottawatomie County” | “Deer Creek High School” (How many times has that high school been hit anyway?!?)
2. Take two drinks every time Gary mentions the following towns:
Altus | Burns Flat | Dill City | Gotebo | Hydro | Lookeba | Meeker | Mulhall | Oktaha | Olustee | Shattuck | Slaughterville | Tryon | Vici |Waukomis | Wayne (or Payne) | Weleetka | Wetumkah (The only one that is even slightly big is Altus.)
3. Take two drinks every time Gary talks to Val Castor. (Now we are gonna get really drunk!)

*Three drinks


*1. Take three drinks if we see footage from Val Castor.
2. Take three drinks if we see footage from Pottawatomie County.
3. Take three drinks if Gary mentions the following:
“Immediate tornado precautions” | “National Weather Service” | “Mesocyclone” | “Portable Radio” | “Take shelter” | “Tornado warning in effect until …”

*Four drinks


*1. Take four drinks if Ranger 9 must land to refuel. (Notice it doesn’t say when it lands to take cover, we don’t land our aircraft in a tornado around here, we fly AROUND them.)
2. Take four drinks if Gary issues his own tornado warning, not recognized by the NWS (He’s a renegade that way) or says the following:
“Will someone please answer that phone?” (He takes this stuff seriously damn it, answer the phone.) or “Do you see the power flashes?”
3. Take four drinks if a shirt-less tornado victim is interviewed. (Redneck land, yo. There is a reason I get dressed and put on shoes when a storm is in the vicinity.)

*Finish your drink


*1. Finish your drink if someone uses the word tornado as a verb or if Gary mentions the cross streets nearest to you.
2. If Gary says “We’ve lost Val,” pour a little out for your homies and finish your drink. (Poor Val…)

If THAT won't get you drunk, it can't be done.
