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.

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...................................

Ashley Update

Nathan called to say Ashley's surgery went fine. She is going to be ok..I believe she will be coming home tomorrow afternoon sometime. She will not be able to pick up anything heavy for at least 12 weeks. She has plenty of kids and her husband to lift anything she needs lifted.

We are going to go up on Thursday morning, we may stay the night, and then again we may come home Thursday night. Nathan said they would have plenty of help, he has an aunt that lives on the same street as they do. She is going to get the kids back and forth to school, and Nathan will be off the weekend. Sounds like she will have plenty of help.

All is good with Ashley, blog at you all later..........................................

Nippy Monday!

Today has turned out to be pretty nippy. We went to Wal-Mart earlier this morning and it was quite nice outside. When we came out of the store it was misting rain, the wind was blowing like crazy and the temperature had dropped considerably. When we got home I turned off the air conditioner and opened the house up. But it won't last it is supposed to be around 87 tomorrow.

Hope all the mothers had a nice mothers day yesterday. I sure did, I did absolutely nothing. I did cook supper though. It was pretty good. After reading Courtney's blog it seems that she had a great mothers day.

Ashley has her surgery in the morning at 7AM. We are not going to go, which is ok with Ashley, I talked to her yesterday. Nathan will call us as soon as the surgery is over. When she comes home, Nana and I are going to go up and help out for a day or so. I am sure that she will do fine, and recover very fast.

Looks like Mavs may be playing their last game tonight. They should have won the last game, but lost. Oh well, guess we will start following the Texas Rangers who are in first place, until
All Star break, where they usually go to the bottom. But by them Cowboy training camp should be in full swing, and God only knows how they will do this year.

Better go for now, blog later...........................................

Fish are still Biting

Well the fish are still biting. Nana had to have a new pair if shoes, she wore her other ones out. She got these especially for fishing. She really likes them. I bet they help her catch a lot of fish. I went out again last night, had such a good time. This time Pam Moore went with us, she caught enough for her. The rest of us did not keep what we caught. Mark had already cleaned 65 from Thursday night, so he had had enough of cleaning fish for a while. Bradley cleaned 12 nice big catfish this morning for Nana. So now we are all caught up on cleaning fish. I actually cleaned 4 the other day. I did it but I did not like it. lol

Well tomorrow is Mother's Day. Hope all of you Mother's have a nice day. Our neighbor Jose is having a Mother's Day Celebration today at around 3 PM. The food will be ready at 4Pm, it is fresh seafood from the coast. He is having a Mariachi Band, and lots of guests. Me and Nana may go for a little while. I don't think mom would stay long at all, it is during the Mavericks game. They will probably lose anyway.

I sure got a nice card from Jennifer this morning. She made it. It is very Pretty. I tried to take a picture of it, but the picture did not turn out to good, but I will post it anyway.

Nana's garden is really doing good, lots of tomatoes coming on.

Better go for now, blog later..........................................

Another one bites the Dust

I heard a rumor today that is probably true. If you remember I have already blogged that the new restaurant Fuddruckers is already closed down for good. Well now it is the La Quinta hotel that was built in Gun Barrel City. Seems the foundation is cracked very bad and the inspector of the city will not let it open, saying it is too dangerous and must be torn down. It is completely finished and furnished. Can you believe, only in the Zone. Our new Bealls store opened up on Thursday. You should have seen the crowd, wow, they must have had some kind of door prizes or something like that. We also have a Hibbitt Sports store fixing to open up in the same shopping center as Bealls. I have never heard of Hibbitt sports, they probably won't last.

Went out fishing last night again, it is so much fun. We caught alot of fish, I figure about 30 - 40 nice sand bass. I am going to fry them this next weekend. I had such a good time with Mark and Glenda. They are two really nice people, the perfect neighbors.

Talked to Jennifer today. She was on her way over to Courtney's to see Angela and Hana. She said she did not know what they are going to do, probably talk weddings. Hope she has a good time. I told her to give Hana Grace a big hug from me, I am sure she won't forget.

It has been extremely cool yesterday and today. I had the house all opened up yesterday, and had to close some of the windows this morning because it never warmed up.

Better go, blog on and at you all later.....................................................

Spring Rains!

Well another wet weekend. At least the lake is full. I think we only got about 1 1/2 inches this weekend. We did not get near as much rain that the metroplex got. Thank God.

Sad to hear about the Cowboy Practice Bubble, glad to know that no one was hurt really bad.
I hope that is not a sign of the season to come.

I heard that Angela came into town. Hope she has a good time. I bet Hana Grace was glad to see her. She is probably wondering where Josh is. lol

I am burning one of my new oils from Bath and Body Works, it is called Dancing waters and I really do like it. My favorite so far is Black Currant Vanilla, I really like it alot.

Nana has been getting up really early in the mornings, and going fishing. She has been staying way to long. Then she comes home and is so tired. Well this morning it was really cool, and damp, well she went fishing as usual, came home and now she does not feel too good. Her back is hurting her. I had her take an aspirin and get the heating pad out. Well she must feel alot better now, because she is in the living room watching the Mavericks and bitching and griping as usual. I told her yesterday that I thought the Mavs would get beat in 4 this round, and they probably will.

I went out fishing with Mark and Glenda last night. I always have such a good time when I go with them. It had been storming all day, and it looked like it was going to clear off, so we decided to go on out. We were out a little while and had to come back in when the thunder and lightning started. We had 4 nice sand bass, Mark cleaned them, and I took them home and froze them.

Now today it has been really cool outside and dark and gloomy all day. It is a day that someone could sleep all day. lol

The garden is looking really good. The tomatoes are actually putting on fruit, and they are so big! All of Nana's garden really looks good. We did find a mole trail right through the potatoes, sure hope the mole is not eating the bottoms off of the potato plants, that would be the craps.

I think we have rain forecast several days this week. One day it is supposed to be up around 90 degrees. Well it is May already.

Hope everyone has a good week, blog at you later...........................
