IT HAS BEEN A WHILE...........

Wow, where did July go. It is already August. We had a busy July, birthday's and I do think that Josh and Angela arrived back to TEXAS on Friday the 31st.

Courtney planned the surprise of the year. She worked very hard on Jennifer's 40th birthday surprise. It went off just as planned, and what was even better is that it actually fell on her birthday the 25th of July. She was really surprised. Bradley's birthday was the 20th. We all met at Uncle Julio's restaurant in Dallas for the big surprise.

It will be nice to have Josh and Angela around for a while. They are going to be working in the Dallas area. Hope to see them soon.

I have been doing some much needed cleaning this month, like cabinets, closets and drawers, getting rid of stuff that I have no idea why I kept it. lol

At least we have had some much needed rain in the last couple weeks. Everything is still looking green and pretty. The lake is full, which is a surprise for this time of the year.

Better go for now, I will try to blog more this month, it is just that there is not really anything going on here in the zone. Blog at you later..........................

July in the Zone

July is always a busy month in the Zone. First we start off with the 4Th of July holiday, which went quite well this year. We had plenty of family and friends here. Lots of food and fireworks. Now we have birthday's. Ashley's is the 11Th of July, Bradley's is the 20Th and Jennifer's is the 25Th of July. In there somewhere is Marks, and Ron's, they are neighbors. Bradley is going to be 38 years old, and Jennifer will be 40. Does that ever make me old. lol

The weather has been hot as usual, we did get about 1 1/2 inches of rain on Monday.

Hana gave us plenty of entertainment over the weekend. I could watch her for day's. She is such a diva.

Not much more to blog about, blog at you all later....................................

Holy, Moley it is hot

First of all I can't believe how hot it is outside. Sure hope we get a shower or something before the 4Th of July so it won't be to dry for fireworks. Next week here at the lake will be crazy, with the holiday falling on a Saturday. The partying will last from Thursday evening until probably Monday evening. The lake is full, and the beer will be cold. And the people will be plentiful for sure.

Talked to Jennifer today, and she is coming down, hope the Massey's are coming. Sure wish Josh and Angela could be here too. Hope Doug is off. I plan on cooking a brisket, potato salad, and baked beans, what else, lets see, fresh tomato's peppers and some kind of dessert, have not decided on that one yet.

The weather has been so hot lately, we get up in the morning and try to get all of our outside stuff done, and running around, then settle in the house for the hot afternoon.

Not alot of news to report at all, I understand that Doug found out about his shoulder pain, sure am glad to know that it can be repaired.

Hope to see everyone next weekend. Blog at you all later.............................

THE HEAT IS ON

Wow it is getting hot already. It is hard for me and Nana to take the heat. lol Nana because she is old, and me because I am lazy lol. We get out early in the morning hours to do whatever we have to do, which is usually not much.

Nana's tomato plants are really big and loaded with tomato's. We have picked 2 and both of them have been rotten. The plants are turning yellow from the bottom up. I tried to get her to stake them but she would not do it , so now he plants are laying all over each other and some of the fruit is touching the ground, thus rotten tomato's. Oh well I guess she likes to dig in the plants. She has planted way to many anyway.

There has not been alot going on down here in the zone. I have been fishing a little with Mark and Glenda. I sure do enjoy that, we always have such a good time. Glenda has been staying down here quite alot latley. We sure do enjoy her visits.

Better go for now.....................................................................................

Summertime!!!!!!!!!

Memorial Day has come and gone. It is June 1, 2009, summer is here. Here's hoping everyone had a great holiday last week. I sure did, I did not do anything, loved every minute of it.



Pagan went to Doggie Heaven this last weekend. She will be missed for sure. She was such a good dog. Every day will get easier for the Massey Family.



I read that Hana had her 18 month check up. Sounds like she is doing just fine. She went to a pool party on Sunday, she sure looked good in her suit and sun glasses.



Nana got her first ripe tomato today, and some squash. All her plants seem to be doing pretty good. We have one Aggie Tomato Plant that is loaded with blooms and tomato's, sure hope the are good.

Jennifer did not get to come down over the weekend she had to work.

Had to take Nana to the emergency room last Tuesday, her hand had swelled up and was very red. They treated her with steroids for the hand and it is gone now. The doctor said it was arthritis. While she was there they checked her chest, she has had a cough for quite a while.
They gave her an antibiotic for it, and told her to take 3 to 4 breathing treatments a day. Yea right. If she has done 3 or 4 all week would be a miracle. lol she is so stubborn. I guess that is where we all get it from. Any way she seems better now.

The weather has been great. I hate to say it but we do need a little rain.

Jennifer had to have a new hot water heater. Our good friend Mark, went and put it in for her.
He is such a good friend.

Brad is out of town this week again. He is down in Conroe and Bryan area. They sure have been keeping him busy lately. lol It is good for him.

Better go for now and will blog at all of you later.....................................

Friday and A Holiday

Today is the Friday before Memorial Day. We would usually have our Zone Fest party tomorrow the Saturday before Memorial Day, but I chose to cancel this year and reschedule it at a later date. Everyone seems to understand, and that is a good thing.

This week has been really nice. The weather has been so nice. It should be a good Holiday weekend for the lake. The county sheriffs have already arrived here at the lake. They started early this year. I figure the Game Wardens will be here later today and have plenty of them on the water by tomorrow.

Jennifer is not coming this weekend, she will be down next weekend and I think we may try to go to Canton First Monday.

Nana said the catfish have just about stopped biting down at the lake where she fishes. When the temperatures start rising, the fish will quit biting from the bank. She has caught plenty this year, we have quite a few bags of fish in the freezer.

Well here is hoping that everyone has a great holiday. Have fun and be careful.

Blog later....................................................

A WEEK FULL OF BIRTHDAY'S

We had a full week of birthday's this past week. May 11- Josh, May 14 Courtney, May 15 Angela, and today May 16 is Baylee's 13Th birthday.

I talked to Ashley yesterday, she said her recovery was going ok. She said Thursday was a pretty bad day, but that Friday was alot better. She is not ready for company yet. She wants to be able to get up and visit when someone comes to see her. All of her kids, Dylan, Baylee, and Karlee are going to Six Flags today for Baylee's birthday. Nathans mom got them all season passes for birthday presents. This will help Ashley recover, she did say that the kids had been really good for her.

We have another cool weekend weather wise that it. We also had some more rain today, but this should be it for about the next week. The lake is completely full, yeah!!!

Next week is Memorial Day weekend. The lake should be buzzing with people. It should be zone fest too, but I canceled it this year. We are going to try to have it around labor day, or that is what date I am looking at.

Hope all is going fine with everyone. Blog at you all later...................................
