This has been a busy week.. Fun too.
Sunday we went on our usually weekend hunt for property to
hopefully build on and retire to. I forgot to mention last post a new description to us that Billy
our friend in Wimberly gave us when we were up there looking for a
place on Labor Day.. We were looking for this property in a
subdivision. Billy told us this may not be the area we would want to live if
he remembers correctly from his and his Wife Cheryl’s search a year
ago. His description was “If there was ever a neighborhood to have
a meth lab this would be it” As we drive thru the area to find the
house(yep this property already has a house) we passed some unsavory looking
characters on the side of the road. They were beyond redneck. I’m not sure I
can even describe what we saw. By the time we found the house I had already
decided that this was not the area I cared to live in. They probably had
still’s in them there woods too and more than one meth lab. I mean
this area was more than hearing dueling banjos. I think I could smell the meth
cooking. LOL
That’s probably mean huh? Those people may have been the niciest
best neighbors ever…….aaaahhh maybe.
Our 4” binder is full on properties we’ve looked at. The right
one hasn’t said “Buy me and Buy Me Now”
It will eventually I’m sure. There’s at least two that are
pulling strings but they haven’t won the tug of war yet.
Tuesday we went to Main Street Crossing to hear the
Resin Valley
Boys. The opening act was a guy named Kenny Allen. He was great. Funny and
entertaining. He had some great songs. LOL like “She put her Whore Make Up On” or
“Them Titties are fake”
Hey I didn't give him the title. He was really good.
His day job is the morning DJ
for 105.3 Texas Music Radio Station
The base player from Resin Valley boys accompanied him along
with a young man that was awesome on the electric and steel guitar. His name was
Albert. I guess he normally plays for another group of which I can’t remember
right now.
Got an email notification from Davin
James that his guest artist
was Mike Blakely on Wednesday so we decided to go to Puffabelly’s Wednesday.
It
was a great show. Mike is a ballard type singer. His songs are always catchy.
So two nights in a row of music. Oh darn. LOL Can’t ever have
too much music.
Yay for me got another good doctor report. I was afraid that my
blood sugars and other lab work might be off since in the past few months my
eating habits have been way off for multiple reasons but the doctor was happy
with all the results. He says I have to lose another 10-15 pounds before he’ll
take me off this damn medicine that makes my ankles swell. In fact drinking
more water only makes it worse. Great.
Friday was David’s high school reunion social somewhere in Kemah
and we were supposed to go but David was whipped. He didn’t come in from
working in the yard and supervising the yard guys until almost 7 pm. So from
our place it would be an hour and half drive there and back and David still
needed a shower. He decided he’d probably be asleep while driving so he chose
to pass on the social.. So we stayed home and I think he was asleep by 8:30.
David is working on the landscaping. He’s completing the back
beds and then working on the front. Looking good and with just a few plants
added the back looks totally different. I'll have to snap a couple of pictures to share now that they've got the flower beds built and a few plants planted and all the rock arranged.
I spent the evening in my sewing room.
I ran to College Station for the day to hang with Pamela. I was
going to take the Momma but when I called her she sounded like crap. She wasn’t
sure if it was a cold or sinus. Whichever we weren’t taking any chances and she
stayed home and slept most of the day. It was home game day so Pamela and I hit
the tent sale for some Team spirit goodies. We hit about 5 other shops in
town.
That nite was another music nite. My friends at work informed me
I go out more than they do and they’re younger. LOL. This week we have gone
plenty but yeah gotta do it while we can. AnywayWe went to Main Street
Crossing to listen to Jesse Raub Jr. He’s a hometown boy. He and his band are
awesome. He’s got a great sound. He just landed an agent out of Nashville. He’s
moving on up which is great as long as he don’t forget us here in Texas. A
friend and co-worker of David’s joined us. His wife Corine didn’t think she would
make it this time when I was buying tickets this time since she is pregnant.
And she was right. She’d had a long day and called Chris letting him know she
was heading for bed around 8:30 right after putting their I think 2 year old
down for the night.
Sunday morning I ran an errand then worked in the sewing room
most of the afternoon.. I was busy doing some mending this time.
I haven’t progressed very far on my To Do List. Gotta get busy
before the year is over. A Quilt retreat should help and I have one planned in
November. Yippee.
No property looking this weekend. We may run out of properties to look at soon. Well there's plenty out there but they may not be in our price range or preferred location. So we're giving the hunting scene a break for now. Who knows what we'll do the coming week-end
Oh and let me share this little
postcard that my friend Donna VanHooser made for me. It was her way of saying Thanks for organizing another retreat. Too cute. It's hangin on my office cubical wall for all to see.
So
until next Blog Post….I
have never been convinced there's anything inherently wrong in having fun. ~George Plimpton~
