Texas is a big state, and not all my family live within its borders. But friends and family outside the state are always on my mind. Today, visiting with my daughter made me smile, as did a conversation with my friend AnnaBeth. Cats. Not any live here now, but Jenn has one that is 18 years old now. AnnaBeth says that the two who live at her house are confined to one area of the house and are not allowed outside in case of fleas or just whatever comes along. Cats are usually pretty able to take care of themselves, but not always. And some dogs can fall over their own feet—about like an old woman! Let’s face it; the older we get, the more determined we have to be to walk lightly and step carefully. So, here’s thanks for modern communication.

 

Cooked a small pumpkin today and fried some chicken livers. So far, the dogs approve the chicken livers, but still wanted their usual bowl of kibble with chicken for supper. Oh well. May see about taking them to the vet tomorrow to see if there is something that can be done for Thompson’s allergies. And also, if possible, to get Sylvia’s toenails trimmed. She is a terror about her toes. But she chews on her toenails and gets them all sore when the nail breaks. Argh!

 

Having a salad for dinner tonight. Yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, romaine, tomato, grated cheddar, avocado, cooked chicken breast, chips, and bacon ranch dressing—just forgot to cut up the cucumber. Good stuff, Maynard! Does anyone remember Dobbie Gillis? It was a show we watched years ago. Dobbie’s friend Maynard only ate hamburgers! Dobbie kept trying to get Maynard to eat “real” food. Sounds like me eating stuff at Jennifer’s house. Her boys had no idea where all those veggies came from!! They DO know about eggs, however. They both can cook now.

 

Don’t know much this evening. Stood out on the deck and visited with Jenn and listened to the idiots racing down South Kemp in their little race cars—a Mustang and something else. The noise is a bit much, but maybe it is a fairly safe place for them to race up and down. Just hope they never hit anyone.

 

The hens are grazing on everything green on this hill. They are laying around ten eggs a day now. Not going to gripe! Asked Jenn about putting six eggs into a quart freezer bag. That’s about enough for an omelet. She thought it meant “in the shell.” Nope, cracked open and dumped inside the bag will freeze just fine. Anyway, she was ok with the idea. Will start freezing eggs soon.

 

Pretty much staying offline right now so that taking a deep breath does not make me wonder what kind of bs there is in the air to inhale. God knows what is going on and who will be blessed and who will be cursed. It is already written: those who bless you will be blessed and those who curse you will be cursed. You KNOW who and what He is mentioning. Be sure your words are a blessing.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
