Not A Great Day

Being a mother of an only child, who has chosen to live in the path of hurricanes, tornadoes, and tropical storms, I get a little antsy this time of year. Even though we talk every day, one (if you're me) worries. After we talked today, I left to go get groceries.....with my mind in Florida, I left the house, locked the door and walked to the locked car. That's when I noticed, I locked the house and the car, and left my keys inside the house. Nothing to do but break in! I decided my best option, after checking the doors and windows, in case I might have missed one, was the back door. It has a cheap lock, and seemed to be the easiest. After kicking the door off the framing, and still unable to get in, my mind, being a few steps behind my actions, said "hey, stupid, break the window and unlock the door!" ENTRY GAINED! Now, go for groceries. (Yes, I cleaned up the broken glass, and pushed the door back into the wall) In the Walmart parking lot, some dumb old F*#K, (read man) backed out without looking, I honked, he ignored the horn, so I threw the car in reverse, and saved my A*S a major car repair. Swearing into my blue tooth to Mo, I relieved my frustrations, and realized the "OLD F*#K" was probably my age. I spent twice my grocery allowance, after all, I deserved cream puffs, orange sherbet, and portabella mushrooms, for the savings in auto repair!

Whatzit?

This was found in a kitchen of a house being remodeled.....any ideas as to what it is?

THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY AT DRAKE WELL

A childhood friend and I revisited the scene of our 6th grade outing to the "Birthplace of the Oil Industry" at Drake Well. Many things have changed since 1960....at least at the museum!

Rain, Rain...Go Away!

"Tis the season, I guess. Rain storms, funnel clouds, and uprooted trees.

I am located half way up the hill and the town is in the valley below, but we have been spared the tornadoes right here, but just a few miles away you can see where the wind had destroyed large forest areas, and took out trailer parks. Then, of course, came the rains and washed away the top soil and low lying vegetation.

Back in the early eighties, the road between Alamaguselum and Titusville was just devastated, and the winter that followed was harsh. We had ice floats that threatened downtown and did damage to our Pizza Hut. So far this year, we have had quite a few uprooted trees, and my poor garden, has lost a lot of top soil.

Today the rains have decided that my Kitchen needed watering. That is nothing new, as I need some roof epairs done, but there is always more "to-dos" than money. My little hovel, is my solace, but the repairs are a mounting problem. The house hasn't been painted in decades, but the interior needs to come first, as it is still knob and tube, and runs on four fuses, Reminding me of Green Acres, where you unplug the toaster to plug in the coffee pot. Part of the kitchen had been rewired, but again, othr things took presidence.

Romeo, Oh Romeo

Hi, Everyone, I'm Romeo. As you can see, I am quite the handsome lad. Hard at work protecting Mommy and the house.At the top, you can see MY yard, where no animals are allowed, and the yard behind belongs to Sherman and Hagris. They are two mastiff lads who have had some small fame in the local papers, but I'm better looking! Mom said I got a comment on here, so I thought I would drop a line and let my "fans" know I appreciate their comments.
