Wet and Stormy Start to week

We had one hell of a storm come through here early this morning. I have part of a pine tree down across a wooden fence. It actually crashed the fence pretty good. Had another piece blocking the driveway. The yard is covered completely with little pieces of limbs everywhere. It is still raining so we can't get out to do anything. Brad had already left for work, stopped at Troys house which is about a mile away. They got nothing but some rain there. I called him and he came back home, had to clear the drive before he could get his truck and trailer up the driveway. It is still raining outside now. We have rain forecast for the next 7 days. The wind got up so high it blew some of my lawn chairs way up on the hill, I did get them rounded up and back where they belong.

A friend of ours, Brandon Adams had 3 trees blown over, and another friend, Sonny lost one tree. IT looks like crap here now. Don't know when we will get it cleaned up. lol

We had a pretty nice weekend before the storm. Did alot of fishing, we have a cooler full of catfish now. they are on ice, Nana and I are going to try to clean them later. lol

All this rain should help the gardens for sure. The lake is full for sure now. They have had some of the gates at the spillway open the last few days.

Saturday and more Rain!

Well we got our weekly rain. We got a little over an inch this morning. We went by the spill way the other day and they had 2 gates open. Down on the south end of the lake they got 3-4 inches this morning. The lake sure looks good and full now.

Nana went fishing after the rain and caught a few. Now we are just waiting for the Mavericks to come on. They play at 3pm today, they should win again, then they go back to San Antonio and if they win today and the next game they advance to the next round.

I have been doing some cleaning this morning while it rained, I love to clean while it rains. It is just that my house is the kind that you can't tell if you cleaned anything or not. lol Oh well we like it and it doesn't bother me at all.

Will blog at you all later....................from the zone blog on..............................

Anna Update

The news on Anna is not good. They are giving her a month to a year. I hope she stays positive about this whole thing. Maybe she will be a miracle. Let's hope so.

Zone Update!

Well I went to the Dr. yesterday. I am officially released. Thank God. He said everything looked really well, and once again I have to thank my three nurses, Judy, Sister and Jenn Ellen, all three of you made me well. Thanks!

I have a friend that is going through a very hard time right now. Anna Montemyer, has tackled breast cancer, she started having really bad headaches, went for a MRI they found 2 tumors on her brain. One was the size of a golf ball, the other smaller. So this morning, at 8:15 she had surgery to remove the smaller one. Judy is with her at the hospital, and will let us know. She will start radiation as soon as possible. Please keep her in your prayers, she is a single mother with a 15 year old and a 7 year old, both girls. I will keep you posted. She is truly a one of a kind person.

Since I was released from the Dr. yesterday, I celebrated last night by going fishing with Mark and Glenda. It was so windy, but we had such a good time. You will not believe thisI caught the biggest fish that I have ever caught last night. It is what they call a hybrid, measured 24 inches long and weighed in at 9 1/2 pounds. I almost had a heart attack. Thank God Mark had a dip net. It wore me out though. We caught several sand bass and crappie. Nana went fishing this morning and had a stringer full of really nice cat fish. She had one that had to weigh about 3 pounds. I don't know how she got it out of the water. Anyway we are having so much fun.

Nana's tomato plants and pepper plants are full of blooms. That means we will be having fresh tomato's and peppers soon. Her squash look good too. She has always had a green thumb.

The Mavericks play tonight hope they win. It will be a tough game. GO MAVS!!!!!!!!!!

Blog at you all later...........................................

Nice Weather and the Fishing Begins

The weather has been so nice since the last rain, which was over 3 inches. The fish are starting to bite. We have been fishing everyday. We are not keeping any of them yet, just practicing. lol

Nana's garden is doing great too! Her tomatoes plants are blooming and growing like crazy.

Bath and Body Works had a sell on their oils, and Jennifer got me some. They sure do smell good.

I saw the pictures of Hana in the bluebonnets. She is really a little ham.

I go to the Dr. tomorrow, I hope for the last time. Then I am going to start on the dentist. lol
I go to the dentist next Tuesday, the 28th of April.

Ashley is going to have her surgery on May 12th. We hope to be there for it. It will just depend on the dentist thing.

Well I am going to go for now, blog at you later..............................................

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL

Today is Easter Sunday. Hope everyone had a good day. I sure did.

Jennifer came down yesterday, and Judy brought Kendall and Matt over to hunt Easter eggs.
Jennifer took some very good pictures of them. Kendall was a real star.

Sister came over later and we had a good visit. Jennifer and I stayed up and watched the Zoner Auction. It was a true joke last night.

I fixed a ham, scalloped potatoes, and fresh asparagus ,with hot rolls and banana pudding today.
Sure was good.

Jennifer went home about 5 this evening. We sure had a good time.

I will be going to the dentist to start on my teeth in the very near future. I am very excited about it. Hope it all goes OK.

About Zone Fest this year. It is going to depend on Ashley's surgery, and my dentist adventure. We may cancel it till another date in the summer or may even wait until Labor Day this year. I am sure it will be fine with everyone. If not, too bad.

I am waiting for Prison Break to start up, and in 5 episodes it will be gone for good. Damn I can't believe it will be over. Wonder who all they are going to kill off in these 5 episodes?
No, telling. I am sure it will be good.

We had quite a good rain early this morning. We got about and inch and a half, had a little hail too. The rain is really helping our gardens.

Better go for now and will blog later..................................

Update on Ashley

I just finished talking to Ashley. Her and Nathan were on their way home from a Doctor's visit. She told me they want to do surgery on her head. Evidently her sinus passage has a hole in it and her brain is coming through it. They want to do it within the next few weeks. She said she would let us know. She also said her neurologist said she may have some brain damage from the seizure she had not to long ago. She wanted me to let everyone know what was going on, so I thought I would blog on it. I may e-mail everyone too. Bog at you all later..........................

WINDY AND COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where did all this wind come from? And the cold temps. Crap I thought it was Spring. Well me and Nana had to go out and cover all her damn tomatoe plants again, thats twice in the last 2 weeks. I told her today that next year she was not going to set anything out until after Easter! I think she has 59 tomato plants, about 2 dozen or more pepper plants, and cucumbers, squash, radishes, 3 rows of onions and no telling what else.

I read that Hana had her Easter Ball Hunt. She seemed to enjoy it alot. Hope the Easter Bunny leaves her alot of stuff.

Hope Courtney is feeling better. Brad boy is sick with a bad chest cold. He was okay until he took Hayden out Friday nite to fish, they caught about 25, and Brad caught a cold. He seems to be a little better today, just a very bad cough. Hope he is better, he is going to go and see NICKLEBACK next Saturday nite.

I am doing just fine. I may even take a hot bubble bath tonight. It will be the first bath I have had since before Christmas. I have been showering since my surgery, but now I believe I could bathe. Yeah! I am so happy about that. I have always loved a good bubble bath.

Sure am looking forward to Jennifer coming down this weekend. We may even go to the flea market! I bought some fragrance oils from a lady up there 3/$5 and they seem pretty good for a zoner purchase. I still haven't ventured over to Bluebonnet Emporium to see if they have any fragrances. Maybe we will venture over that way too.

Well today was opening day for the Texas Rangers, I just can't get into baseball like i do in the other sports. It just seems like a boring game to me. The Rangers won today, so that is a good thing I guess. They always seem to do pretty good until the All Star break, then they go to hell in a hand basket the last of the year. But by that time, the Dallas Cowboys have started training camp. That is going to be a completly different story this year. I hope they can get their crap together. Let's go COWBOYS>

Well we do have Zone fest coming up soon. I will be getting the invitations out soon. Sure am looking forward to seeing everyone this year.

Better go for now. Will blog at you all later.............................
Brrrr............its cold outside!

Sunny Saturday

Wow, today was beautiful. Sun, Sun, Sun it was such a nice day. Heard that we may have a couple of cool nights ahead, bummer. Everything is sure turning green and pretty in the zone.

Talk to Jennifer yesterday, she is coming down Easter Weekend. I am really looking forward to seeing her. We are going to try to get Judy and Kendall over so Jenn can take some pictures of her, for her mom and Nana.

Nothing much more to report here in the zone. Will blog at you later..........................
