They Shoot Horses's Don't They?

Good Day Mates!

I found out in the last 30 hours that a Bee Sting sucks! I was walking around my pool barefooted Sunday evening when I stepped on a Bee! I hadn't been stung in quite a long time. After successfully drowning and beating the bad Bee to death. My friend Robin quickly (well it seemed like forever) made a paste of baking soda. She was a Girl Scout Leader for many years so this was just the type of emergency she was trained for. Ok maybe she didn't get her Bee Sting Badge!

With all the drowning and beating of said Bee we forgot to make sure the stinger was removed from my foot.... 30 hours later I had to visit a foot specialist to remove the little stinger! I'm also on antibiotics 4 times a day for the infection that I have in my foot! Lesson Learned... STINGER OUT FIRST THEN KILL BEE! I hobble now... They shoot Horses's Don't They.....

Happy Trails

Wonderful Weekend!

Hello Troops!

What a GREAT weekend! Started off with my 27th Wedding Anniversary on Friday! My Main Man "Punk" and I headed over to College Station to do some looking around at the Gypsy Junk Girls Junk~A~Plooza! Came back and had a wonderful dinner out! Madison called Saturday Morning and asked what was for dinner. I replied Pork Chops! She advised she would be on the next plane out of Tyler and she was! She flew back out this morning and Punk and I came back home and cleaned out the garage! Julie was over helping, and we got our Dip's and Soups in order for the season! If you haven't checked it out already you need to go to WWW.Dipitup.Com

We sale Soups and Dips and there the Best!

I made a Chicken Salad recipe that my Sister in Law gave me and it is sooo good. I'll ask her if I can share the recipe with all 12 of you here! HAHA!

Well, I'm off to bed. Working this 3:30 am shift can kill a girl!

It's been a long long time.

I'm so ashamed of myself. It's not that I forgot about all my peeps it's just I have been soooo busy with the girls going off to College and working that I haven't had the time to check in.

But I'm back and promise to be a better blogger. I follow quite a few blogs myself and know how disappointing when people aren't posting. So forgive me and let's get on with it!

First things first. Madison and Camille have both flown the coop! That's right we are empty nesters! It's very strange not having to do the laundry everyday, however I think I'm already use to it! I'm now very good at using Skype!

Tomorrow is Parke's favorite day of the year! Yes the day he get down on his knee's and gives Thanks that he is married to me! It is our 27th Wedding Anniversary! It's the day before and we can't decide if we want to go toobin down the Comal or fly to New York City and see a broadway play. I'll update you on whichever we choose.

Love my Fans!

Return from Mexico!

We made it back from Mexico! Only took 18 hours but I'm back! Back in the USA!

I hadn't been to Mexico in 30years! Not a lot changed! I had a wonderful relaxing time with Patti! We both love to read and that's what we did. I read 4 books thought the week!

The Things We Do for Love

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter & Sweet!

There are quite a few things I will miss about Mexico. Clean Sheets everyday! Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Cooked by someone other then me... And having a real cabana boy! One who jumped to my every call! Our resort had a private beach and we found that laying on the beach could be a shopping paradise! We were approached by people selling everything from jewelry, t~shirts, clothing, Para Sailing and much more! You'd kinda just leaned over and looked and thought hmmmm sure how many?

Madison and I got to meet a Sea Lion up close and personal! That was very cool. Camille and Chelsea swam with dolphins and Parke went deep sea fishing. It was a Great trip and I'm so glad to have the memories to last me a lifetime.

I best wrap it up. 330am will come very early in the morning! (The time I must get up for work)

I'm still not sure about this morning shift. What is it you all see about sunrise? I much rather prefer sunset!

Melting in Mexico

Still in Mexico! Still Hot!

Why does a menopausal woman plan a trip to Mexico in August? Silly huh?

Melting in Mexico....

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Hola!

This post comes to you from Sunny Mexico! I've got to tell you folks it's HOT! Humidity is 80%! We shopped downtown yesterday and I started to melt in a leather store. I kid you not... I was like the Wicked Witch of the West. I'm meltttttting..... When asked what was her favorite thing of the day. Patti replied watching Barbie sweat in the leather store! I gladly handed over 700 peso's to just get the hell out of there! I don't know what I would have done for air conditioning at that point! I finished the book "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" I really enjoyed and look forward to the next 2 books in the series. Madison and Parke are flying in today! I would love to write more. However Patti and I are needed at the beach. Sun calls and we answer! Chelsea and Bug are flying thru the canopy's as we speak! Can't wait to hear how they liked zip lining thru the forest!

Wish you all were here! A big Thanks to Traci for taking care of the pups!

And don't worry folks I'll use sunscreen! Skin Cancer sucks! I don't want it again!

Sending you love and nachos!

Adios!
