Friday, January 23, 2015 - The rain Thursday night and this morning was heavy enough to stop the framers from working today.  It was also very cold and windy. Roy and I headed to Hammond for our follow up cortisone shots in my shoulder and his knee.  We always wait at Dr. Chaisson's office far… Continue reading 01.24.15 Cabinets and counter tops on order…. and our new campfire pit!

01.19.15 Nice light yellow storage building

Roy and I shopped for a storage building for some time.  We decided upon the Heartland Rainer Gambrel Wood Storage Building from Lowe's.  It's a 10 x 10 building with a storage loft inside. We bought it as a kit for $998 (plus tax and $65 delivery) instead of paying $2,000 for one already built. … Continue reading 01.19.15 Nice light yellow storage building

09.11.14 So what’s new??

Southeastern and LSU won their games Saturday by huge amounts.  They are both powerhouses in their conferences.  The bad news is that the Saints lost (oh how it hurts to say that word) to the Dirty Birds of Atlanta by a field goal in overtime in their first regular season game.  Our defense was rotten.… Continue reading 09.11.14 So what’s new??

Tuesday, June 17, 2014 - I’m sitting in the surgical waiting room while Roy is in surgery to remove some lumps from his chest and back. I just ate a delicious meal of baked spaghetti casserole and green beans for only $3.20. Food at North Oaks Hospital is always very flavorful and plentiful.

  What a morning!  Our first morning Worship Service back at our home church Trinity Baptist Church since we returned last Saturday. I slept until around 11 am last Sunday and didn't go to church.  Do you know what kind of week I had?  A very difficult one.  Every thing that happened felt like it… Continue reading 06.08.14 John 3:16

Our brief stay at Lazy Longhorn RV park in Victoria, TX was very nice.  We didn't unhook Boots and stayed at the park for three days.  Work was pretty busy while we were there but I did have one evening where I was able to spend 2 hours reading by the pool. It was a… Continue reading 05.17.14 Humble Country Crawfish Festival

05.08.14 Update from San Diego, TX where it actually rained (a little)!

We woke up yesterday to a light, light rain and on the news that evening you'd have thought it had really rained a lot.  I don't think it rains very often here so they talk about rain coming a week away, on every evenings news!  This morning we also had some sprinkles for over an… Continue reading 05.08.14 Update from San Diego, TX where it actually rained (a little)!
