Well, here we set, waiting on that Madison....

guess she will check out of her "room" when she is ready too... not when we want her too... haha.. no word yet andit's 7:10am on Friday.

Today is Uncle Calvin's 80th birthday! Happy Birthday Uncle Calvin, hope all is well with you all. I sent several emails over the last few months but have not heard a thing back... haha.... So I guess you have been to California and back?

I did here that Mom and MK are taking a Heartland Flyer trip to Ft Worth with Uncle Calvin and Aunt Agnes this Saturday and Sunday... in typical "mom" fashion, she is letting Uncle Calvin pay for the trip!!!!!! Love my mom, but geeze... on his birthday.... oh well,

To Uncle Calvin, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY 80TH BRITHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! AND MANY MANY MANY MORE!!! Hope your day is special and happy and filled with joy and wonderful things.... happy birthday!

Well, that is about all I know. I took on a real estate site and an auction site to work on for their websites... and I found out that one of them was a much bigger chore than I imagined. So I now have 8 that I try to keep up with and at times, they are much much bigger than I am.. if you can imagine, haha!!

Talked with Jon yesterday. He has been really busy at work. He is my knight in shinning armour when I get into trouble, like yesterday... haha. I can not believe he is so gifted at figuring out things... Man, God did not bless me to think that way! I was all in a tizzy so called up my knight, and he informed me I just needed to calm down... get a grip.. and he'd fix things.. and he did. I don't know what I would be able to do without him!

Jon and I did get webcams so Grandma M and I can "see" Kaitlyn more often.. but we have not had time to "hook up" and 'see' her yet! hopefully soon!

Ann, David and Mike have "leased" their mineral rights. First time in years... High oil .... maybe. keep your fingers crossed that they drill and hit! haah

I have been in contact with Jamie Murray, atty regarding Grandpa's "instrument left in him" dealy... nothing yet.

Dad's estate is moving slowly forward thru probate.

Mom sprayed the Kastle place and her land at home for weeds, now lets hope it rains and quick or she just threw away her money, as nothing over here is growing at all. the grass has stopped and so have the weeds, and they need to be growing to take in the spray to kill them. our yard has not grew an inch in over two weeks.. so hopefully she didn't throw away her money...

Jake got his ole blue tempo running an is motoring around in it.. sure looks different in it instead of the dually. He is happy with his new job, and seems to love the work and the people there, well, most folks there!

He started recording a new cd and stopped about half way through it, but has the songs down, and the studio owner brought it by the other day for Jake to have. He was here and told him that he appreciated it and he sure seemed a bit happy about it. Perhaps someday, he will get back to his music, as time moves forward, and things get better...

Well.. it is very dry here. yard is looking brown for the first time this spring.. not dead but the grass has a brown tint to it....

don't have to mow.. haha...


Later, enjoy the day...

Madison Ann is in the hanger.... taking on fuel, and about ready to leave her warm home for the last 9 months...

Can you tell I am excited.. haha... I am fired up! Grand daughter number two is bout to born!! Madison's mom called me a bit ago, and told me the Dr. had stripped her membranes, and that she is a solid two, working on three, and she called from Walmart.. so all is good in the world.. haha...

how cool.. I can't wait.. grand child number four.. now if we can get parents who own slot for number one to have number five... haha... I love them all.. how great to be a grand dad!!

Sure sign of spring... a flock of geese flies over the west field headed north ... now, if we could get some rain! 

Here's a pic of the "baby" John Deere moving dirt for the new Goober Drilling site about a half mile east of highway 177 on Lost Creek Road... on way to Grandma Moffat's home. I think it is bigger than Andrew's "gator", haha... 

You have to know a bit about gay lingo to get this.. from Heather.. another funny...

An airline's passenger cabin was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served them food and drinks. As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and announced to the passengers, "Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super."

On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed a well-dressed rather exotic looking woman hadn't moved a muscle. "Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines. I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground." She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called a Princess. I take orders from no one."

To which the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, "Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country, I'm called a Queen, so I out rank you. "Tray-up, Bitch"

Here is another really good motivational blog "Stumbling Heavenward" by Rev. Tillman, El Paso, TX Immmanuel Church.

t'was a really good day...

Even ole Jake had a good day. The owner of the studio where Jake recorded his newest music brought by an unmastered copy of his last ten songs he wrote and recorded... being unbiased. haha... get it.. Jake's songs rock!

I saw a gleam in his eye that had not been there in a while... who knows...

but all in all it t'was a good day...

And Austyn and his dad dropped in... and Austyn wanted to show us his new seat... How cool. It even has a pocket or two for stuffing things in and they close up out of the way... and he and his dad had to Happy Meals and two dogs.. how cool is that???  

And Madison's mommie.. went to the Dr. and this is what Heather reported this week... Well had my second non stress test with Madison today..Dr looked at the
tape and said that everything looks great she was moving and very active
especailly when my contractions took over and when she felt like she did
not want the monitor on her or me pressing it on her to find her
heartbeat.

Dr told the little tech that he would see me Thursday for my appt if
not before then .

So that is where we are at the countdown is on...

This is a photo of the hole ... where trailers used to be, to the right of the barn. ah... the changes of life!! 

The end of 21 years.. of work.. kind of a sad pic, but in it's day, it was a humming place with lots of friendly customers, and happy folks visiting about this and that, and we got to keep up with familys growing, etc.... now.. no more... 

Curtain Rods; from Heather another great goodie... too cute~~~!!! Revenge is sometimes... AWESOME!!

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates, and suitcases.

On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third , she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar and a bottle of Chardonnay.

When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to stink. They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to m ove out for a few days.

Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit.

Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.

A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out and eventually even the local Realtors refused to return their calls.

Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back.

Knowing his ex-wife had no idea of how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had
been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day.

She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home, including

......... the curtain rods.

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING. DON'T YOU??????
