  • Looking for another cold snap come Wednesday like last week, just not quite as cold and no precipitation with it.



    I've always tolerated cold better than heat but this past week was a bit much for these old bones. I was actually saying I wish summer, or even spring, would come to life. :laugh:

  • parenting is the gift that never ends and is a mutual opportunity for child & parent to feel and demonstrate, grow with and learn from love for each other. It's a lucky person who is a part of this relationship when the heart and hands are working together. perhaps the glue that welds society into a viable whole. DNA is primal and love is the best byproduct of all that we are, can be and all that our ancestors have learned and passed on. Walk tall brother we all share in your joy. murray

  • After averting a disaster this week( long story short, we had warm temps which started melting the snow rapidly and I had a drain tile in 1 or our egress windows clog up and the pit filled up with water, we had water just come up to the window and get into our basement, damp but not soaked carpet and the drywall is ok), I will be taking it easy. I do have to work this evening but I will get a day off next week. Maybe I will try and put up a ceiling fan....the joys of home ownership!!!

  • Hello All We have had some Spring and some late Winter weather. Today the wind runs through the trees like a grandparents hand ruffs the hair as it touches a grand child's head in a moment of demonstrated love.

  • Saturday, was a fantastic day. The weather was perfect and the yard work long. My body is telling me that Saturday night. Sunday was what it was suppose to be, a day of rest. I went to church as an usher, and we celebrated Holy Comunion which we do every first Sunday of each month. The crowds were low, but not too surprising since I usher the 11 am service and most of the people were went early to enjoy the weather.

    Monday, back to work but will be going to sign up a new partner that evening, which will get me a much needed bonus in commisions. It is getting better. Really need to talk to my UK buddies about something special. Hope to talk to you soon.

    Cheers :cool: Hondo

  • Well, looks like I’m writing another Western….a sequel to a play we did for the Red River Theatre Company three years ago called “Shooting Sundown”. When the play closed I told one of the theatre directors about an idea I had for another story. I had put it aside and forgotten about it, and thought that they had too! Then, this weekend the guy asked, “Where’s our play?” I had to promise to start working on it as soon as I could!

    It’s a Western-Comedy-Murder Mystery! This one involves the main character from the last one, Layne “Sundown” Robbins, who’s now “the cowboy detective”; the owner operator of the “Sundown Detective Agency”. His first major case is to solve a series of murders on a Mississippi River Boat”

    The working title is “Muddy Water”.

    Wish me luck!
