It looks like i am headed for a road trip to Monroe La. for the weekend. I will be taken my nice down to see her grandfather he has been ill for a while now and its time for her to go and see him. So I’m off into the wild blue yonder 

Well its some time latter still have not left it looks like i will not be going . Not sure if that is good or bad yet. 

    Well my sis is back in the air and on her way back to salt lake. I dropped by monday night to have dinner and play some more rook. I really like that game. Any way she fixed chix fijetas and we had a nice time tell i had to go to work. 

   Some time the audit shift can be so dull  you just want to scream. I did have a nice end to the shift. I had several van runs and made a bit of money. Now i can put gas in my car. Gas has gotten so high i did not even got visit my passed relatives to put flowers out. This is the first time in our family we have not done so. I hope their not made we did not stop by to say hi and remember them for a few moments. Its just been a very poor year. Will so much for sob stories now. Have a great day!!!

Went over to my nephews last night for dinner. He and his soon to be wife. Grilled out we had chicken and they had fish(nasty). She made a has brown cass. and salad. It was a realy nice dinner. 

They had done a lot of work on the yard this spring. They put in solar lights new plants and put a couple of chairs on the front deck. It really looks nice. In side the home the work all winter. Painting putting down new carpet. Its so much nicer. You would not believe its the house i grew up in. 

They also bought a new table and chairs for the back deck. The table has a fire pit in the middle of it and the chairs are so comfortable. you could take a nape in them. 

I also had the privilege of meeting her grandmother last night. She is from Africa and  I would swear she has a German accent. Then the told me their is Dutch influence  in the part of Africa she is from. Witch might explain that. 

We also learned a new game called Rook. Its a card game. Its kinda like canasta gin-rummy combined. I recommend trying it out if you are into card games.  Well thats all for now. latter. 

 My poor poor brother Ken just had to have our younger brother Dave up to his house becuse he had a DR appointment and needed some one to dive him. I busted my ass to get dave up their to him on time. I got off work at 7am went to dave’s home. I had to drive around a car wreck thought the pooring rain. Some times you could not see out the window. Loaded up the car with all daves things drove back to my place to change picked up our sister Chris. It was raining so hard we stoped and had a bit to eat. It was still raining when we got to kens home. Unloaded in the pooring rain Ken did not get out side to help. Had to rush back in the pooring rain to get chris back to pick up her new daughter inlaws parent.

 Then i find out the DR appoint ment was clx. I am pissed We could have waited untill the rain stoped and not had to rush around. What an ASS… The end.

  Well i worked in the yard yesterday. Cut some trees from off the roof. As well as around the yard. Did some raking, watering, weed-pulling. I planted some ferns a few days a go looks like they will live. Not so much for the tomato plants. I lost one in a storm and it looks like i am about to lose another. My strawberries are doing fine. They just look weird. Peas are up, and low and behold some pumpkins are coming up. Last fall i tossed a pumpkin in the garden patch and they are growing. I also planted some onions that where sprouting in the house. Now all i have to do is get red of the weeds. lol…. 

I went over to my brother Dave home and got one of his scooters. He is no longer allowed to have it their. He has them torn apart. Now they get to be torn apart in my yard. He has two i am trying to get him to take one to saint joe with him. We will find out how that goes tomorrow morn. Well thats all Folks. hehehe…

I found this under a over pass. This gives back the meaning of Birds of a feather flock to gather. 

   Ok, I admit i was stupid and i paid the price. Boy did i pay the price. I had to learn the hard way DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR TO SET OUT SIDE IN THE WINTER WITH OUT STARTING IT.  I was stupid and did thier for i had to buy a new battery and it was not cheap. To pay my personal property taxies and get my car going i spent $1000.00. The budget was only $800.00. Such is life. At least I know my car is go to go. the only thing i will need before winter will be a set of new tiers. So in the end I’m happy. I have my car back and my sis has her car back! Life is good.  

    I came home from work this morn and found new born kittens in one of my lawn chairs. Two mother cats where sharing the responsibility of their litters them had combined them as one. One had its eyes open and the other three where newly born. I wish i had had my thinking cap on i should have taken a pic.  One of the moms lets me touch her the other dose not. They are strays in the area  . When i got up around 3 in the afternoon. the babies had been moved. I was hopping they would a male cat could have killed the so easily where they where at. I hope to see them again soon.  

   We have had three tornados friday morn. What a night that was. I was at work the lights when out at least three time. The wind was as wild i one would see on the new covering a tropical storm. The tornados hit a street called north oak its a main road with shops and restaurants . One was a well know one called Margaritas. It looks gutted. next door to that was a pawn shop i like to buy used movies at. The pawn shop was taken to the ground.

  A few streets behind their several home where badly damage and in  another aria five homes where gone one of the homes their was now trace of.   Lots of clean up going on in those areas of town. The last few years the relay bad stuff was happing on the kansas side. I guess it was our turn finally. 

  I live in a mobile home park we just had trees down and some homes had the skirting ripped off. My home was fine. I was very happy about that. I relay do not have any one to help with repairs so i would have had to pay some one. Funds are just too low for that right now. I wish i had a more pics  to post but i have not been down in that area yet. 

    The kansas City Star web site will have more pic if any one wants to see. 

Hi this is my aunt betty and today is dedicated to her. we lost her on April 27 2008. She will be missed even though i did not get to talk to her or see her much. It was always i need to call or i realy need to go down and see her. How time can play tricks on a person. We just for get that their is not always lots of time. I have missed a lot because of always thinking about doing things tomorrow. 

With all my love be happy in the next life.
