RED eye!!

Yesterday after I had put on my makeup I looked into the mirror and saw the most HORRIBLE sight.

RED--right in the corner of my eye. So I took a mental inventory of symptoms and there were none.No hurting or sharp pain, no watering, no blurry vision. NADA!!

So we went to lunch with the kids.  They were taking us out to lunch for our anniversary. We got there first and the waitress was told to bring him the check. She and Lynn had a talk and she said she had to give him the check since he asked for it first. I like that girl!! She had to do it, but I would tell that she really wanted the kids to pay for the anniversary lunch.

Last night Jerry had a chicken pot pie and I had -- uh--something!

We had a really good day yesterday, not anything fancy, not much going on in the afternoon. But I didn't have to get out in the sunshine with my eye like it is.

I digress!!ME??? YES!!

This morning I got up and called our friend the eye doc and he tells me that it happens alot and it will take about 10 days for it go go away. Here I am now, telling everyone who wants to know that if your eye looks like someone slugged you. But you don't have a bruise all the way around your eye. It's probably not something to worry about. NO pain, No blurry vision---probably a broken vessel---BUT go to the eye doc just to make sure.

Today is our ANNIVERSARY!!!

Fifty three years ago we got married. I am NOT going to make any of those jokes about marriage
like "We've been married 53 years and 10 of those were happy" .

We've had our arguments and disappointments like everyone has in life, but we have worked through them and that is the main thing!

So, to all of you just a few pieces of advice.

Ladies, as Red Moore told me, we do have to submit ourselves to our husbands--that's in the Bible--but we don't have to be the doormat!

Men, you have to remember that women are illogical---to you---WE know what we mean. Just go with it.

Jerry's logic is to wax the bathtub.  REALLY!!

Yes, AND the bottom.

It was slick! And the last time he waxed the bottom of the tub. It didn't take him long to realize that the bottom of the tub really SHOULDN'T be waxed. Especially when we found the bath mat floating in the water.

It took him a while to figure out how to get the wax out of the bottom of that tub!!

On the other hand, I have been know to do my share of slightly crazy things. Like the time I was following the weight watchers recipe for tuna casserole with pineapple.

GROSS!!!

I even got up and threw it out. And then there was that recipe out in Farmington NM. I don't know what it was but after I threw the food in the disposer, I tore that recipe OUT of the cookbook.

YUCK!!!

And Jerry really DOES like to eat.

When the kids were little and he lost down to 145, I cooked four meals a day---right now I am down to 3.

I thank God I like to cook.

Anyway, this is my way of saying that I have had a wonderful 53 years and will be truly thankful for the remaining ones.

What Happened to Yesterday's Blog??

This is too weird! I actually did write a blog yesterday. Spent a lot of time on it.
I don't remember what it was about because I just write what comes into my mind. I think it was about Sarah being sick and Baby Girl being sad about it.

So here are the pictures of the DRAMA queen and her being sick. Actually she got us up early and so we just stayed up. Long time until 11 that night.

And Baby Girl was soooooo sad for Sarah!

Well, today Jerry is sick---well not sick but his right side next to his ribs is hurting. He told me about it on Sunday morning so we stayed home.

This morning it's hurting bad again and he tells me that it has been hurting for about 2 weeks. This is when I want to say-----

MEN!!!!!

He didn't want to worry me, but &%$#& he could have been much better by now!!!

We are going to Doc's office in 10 minutes will let you know what they find out.

Today!

Sarah got SicK!!

She not only got sick---she threw up from 3.30am to 5.30 am on the very day that my cousin was coming into Oklahoma to see all of us. That wouldn't have been so bad about her being sick but it was the second night that I had not slept. So I was kinda groggy when we got to see Kenneth and May--or as I found out later Mary.

I digress--and that happens A LOT because I have so much to tell.  Anyway--Sarah woke me at 3:30 am throwing up her toe nails!! Not literally just OMG a lot of stuff!!

Poor baby!! She did NOT feel good at all. I stayed up with her for two hours after she threw up the last time because my Grandma told me that if someone doesn't upchuck for two hours they are finished with that.  It worked for my kids and it worked for all the other animals we have had over the years.

And it WORKS for SARAH!!!!

And OF COURSE Miss DRAMA QUEEN played it up good!!!

LOOK at her!!! BUTTER wouldn't melt in her mouth.  DRAMA QUEEN is right!!
That morning went  to  Lynn and Keith's house so we could spend time with Ken and May.

We had Lynn's breakfast thingie. Eggs, and sausage over crescent rolls with cheese on top. YUMM__O!!!

Then we looked around Duncan--it sure didn't take as long as it did for us when we were in DC with Nonie.

Lunch at Jonny's--the home town eating place. Food is good and you can refill your drink cup as many times as you want!!

We went by the Chisholm Trail Museum in Duncan. Walked the trail emblazoned in the concrete. It starts at the King Ranch in far South Texas and goes all the way to Wichita Kansas. Didn't go inside because we were running out of time.

Dinner at our house--we had Mexican and even though it didn't take long, when you're preparing for 12 it takes a while. .

Dave came over on Saturday and showed us Baby Girl's picture.

Look at her little puppy dog eyes!! "PLEASE daddy take me too!!!"

She really did NOT want to stay at home, but May had had some MAJOR surgeries in the early spring and he didn't want Baby Girl to hurt her in any way.

Day one was over. Tomorrow I will tell you what happened on Saturday!!

Wondering AGAIN!

Last night i got to wondering about that girl who is being tried AGAIN in absence in Italy. GRIEF!!! they already found her not guilty. I am so glad that we live in America. I mean, when we get through with a trial---that's it!!

Then I got to wondering about the media here and there and what goes on in journalists minds.

And then I got stuck on what went on in Libya. I mean really--why don't we know more. Is it because we need to protect something or someone. And does that someone or something really NEED to be protected. Because I am fully aware that somethings that have been said about Iraq and Afghanistan have put troops in harms way and I say --- SHAME ON WHOEVER REPORTED.

I then thought that the MEDIA could at the VERY least let us know if they are protecting that someone or something from harm.

I just want to know SOMETHING one way or another.

Today is March 27

You want to know why I KNOW the date?? Because our Dave's birthday was yesterday!! We all went and had supper at the Chuck Wagon in Velma OK.  I ordered the hamburger with the guacamole. YUMMM!!!!

That is not the subject of today's blog it's just a little something extra.

Today I want to talk about all the scare tactics that are being pushed down our throats by the media.
When was the last time you heard something about global warming?? How about YESTERDAY! Or when did you hear anything about terrorists? TODAY! I know that the mid America regions are in a terrible drought. Do you really think this is the first time there has been drought in the US? 

NOT on YOUR Nellie!!  Talk to any geologist. They will tell you what happened in years gone by. The Sahara in Africa was once covered in ocean. It was once a green verdant area of the world.

And then came global warming!!! Many, many, MANY years ago and the land dried and became a desert. Will that change back?? I don't know!  That's for God to decide because, after all, He is the ruler of this earth.

Things are hopping, like grasshoppers, all over the south. Jerry's brother in Texas told us about shovels full of dear grasshoppers EVERY day for over a month. And the drought has caused the price of grain to go up which means the price of grain fed animals has gone up. So, cut out some of the Starbucks, or cigarettes, or games for the kids. Food is more important anyway.

In other words, this is a time for us all to adapt. ADAPT is NOT a four letter word!!
