New Home

The neighbors are going to turn their single mobilehome into a double wide.  They will be bringing the second home in on Monday.  One of the things they had to do was make their dog's yard smaller.  He still has a good house to sleep in and room to run.  He loves to run to the fence when he sees a rabbit or other neighbors across the way.  Here is his new pen.

Mexican Lunch

I stopped at Taco Bell after church.  I wanted to get something for lunch.  Decided on a stuffed grilled beef burrito.  It was huge.  I couldn't believe the size of it.  Much larger than Taco Johns.  It was very good.  I have also been seeing a pecan apple salad wrap advertised on TV at ARBY's so went there and got one of those for supper tonight.  I hope it is as good as it looks on television.  It is nice to have something different for a change.

Bad Weather

Businesses were destroyed last night by tornadoes.  A great family restaurant just 17 miles from us was completely demolished.  No one was in it, which was great, as no one was hurt but there is nothing left but trash of the restaurant. We loved to go there on Thursdays for their TexMex.  They had a wonder buffet Wednesday nights and Sunday noons.  You could always eat free on your birthday too and they had a big menu so you always found something you liked.  There were straight line winds in some places, farm buildings destroyed in places, great big trees uprooted.  Many tornadoes were caught on camera and cell phone.  It was a seriously bad night.

Mobile Homes

Our neighbors are going to get another mobilehome and join it onto the one they live in.  It will be quite a project.  They will have a nice double wide when it is finished but I bet it will take a lot of work.  The present one will be disconnected and they will move into the newer one.  Then the old one will be completely redone inside and out and then joined with the newer one.  They have 4 children who are getting quite big and it is very crowded in their present home.  It will be great for them to have a larger, updated home.

Drought is Over

Not only is the drought over in our State but it can't seem to quit raining.  It rains nearly every day.  There has even been water across the main Interstate causing traffic to detour.  Bridges have been washed out or collapsed and gravel roads are in poor condition in many places.  So many homes have been flooded.  Rivers are out of their banks in so many places.  We were so happy to see the rain after 2 years of drought but enough is enough now.

Fun for the Whole Family

What could be more fun for the whole family than a good safe trampoline?  They got theirs set up last week and the great grandchildren are busily playing on it.  The youngest hasn't been walking all that long but he is doing quite well.  He is really concentrating on the job of walking on the trampoline.  Now that he is walking, he is running, as well.  He has so much fun with his sister and brother.  I love to stop and see them because they come running with big hugs for me.

Broken Rib

My brother fell and broke a rib.  He fell awhile back and bruised some ribs and it took awhile to mend.  This will take even longer.  It is hard for him to sleep as every move wakes him up.  They used to tape people up so they didn't breathe deep to let the rib heal.  Now they find it is better to just leave it alone and let it heal itself.  He's going to have several weeks of pain before he gets over this one.  Hope he doesn't fall anymore.
