never mind

I am cleaning out closets and getting my fall house decor out of storage sheds and attic.
I aLso didn't realize that I have a kitchen towel and placemat fetish. I have them for all the seasons, each holiday and just no names.
I even found ones shaped like Cabana Joe ones shaped like Hawaiian shorts with monkeys on them. What was I thinking?

Mango, I have this same fetish. It's a sickness really. Was gonna get my fall stuff out today, but it's hard to get in the mood when it's 95 degrees!! mr. dd just drug me all over "downtown Grapevine" shopping for a birthday present for his boss. I saw lots of our kinda stuff...but resisted since I'm on a 6 month plan to reduce "stuff". We're thinking of downsizing in the spring. Yeah, right.

Just finished cleaning up my tool area and spent 1 1/2 hrs. on a workout. A very quiet day today but tomorrow in going to be very busy.

I need to get up and go get the dental floss after the chicken I just ate while gazing at a 15" black box. I stained the entire front of the house today. I quit because I couldn't hold the brush any longer. Random thoughts, I like it.

home from the hen party. it was really funn, glad I went. what happens at the river house stays at the river house... at least until the photos are sent out on everyone's email...

got the house to myself this afternoon - and that does not happen often. think I'll read and watch a movie at the same time. and do my nails...

Random thought:

I will confess right here that I don't care that much for football , or many sports for that matter. Another reason I don't like the end of summer. I have to listen to the drone of announcers for hours on end. Ok...I'm gonna go attempt to do some gardening. Go Cowboys!

I detest football. but I don't mind it in the background as I read or lounge around. it's just tradition. however, come January I'll be singing a different tune (those announcers are so friggin loud and obnoxious, especially after 4 or 5 months...)

No kiddin! No loungin' around for me today...got the granddaughters--all 4. Daughter is on her way home from Austin. She's staying with me while her apartment gets ready and she sent her cat to live with a friend for the time she's here. She just called that her cat is dying..she's at the vet's office in Waco, near where her friend lives. I'm waiting to hear the final outcome.

We went apple picking today with another family -- a yearly tradition. Very funn, and we have photos of the kids at the apple orchard ever since they were 1 and 3 years old... Very cute. They get older in the photos but we exactly the same Ate 3 apples - a Jonathan apple, a McIntosh, and a red delicious. Now off to one of the girls' soccer games. Then dinner and watching that house show tonight that is going to have South Walton on it.

4 granddaughters! that is wonderful... but so sorry about your daughter's cat. it's always so hard to lose a beloved pet.

hey, maybe the sowellers can all try to eat apples this week... I had an incredibly delicious apple tart this morning for breakfast. but we should just probably stick with a basic apple, perhaps with peanut butter...

I'm not into football that much either. Don't tell anyone ...people are so football crazy around here...especially after having the #1 team in the nation. :clap_1: Yeah, the games are getting more exciting to watch but normally I wouldn't care that much.:roll: I love watching Dylan play but he has a cold so he didn't play his game today.

What a great way to spend a Sunday!! And a great tradition for your family.

Yep, 4 and one grandson. They are delights--all 5! But, they wear me out. Daughter lost her kitty. I just felt to bad that she was alone and driving home, and I couldn't be there to comfort her. But, when she arrives, I will take her for a glass of wine in remembrance of "Allie".

This is a good idea. Will buy some--we have no orchards here in "the hell hole" as Miss Kitty puts it.

I'm so glad I'm not alone in my distaste for football.

Sorry you're having sig problems..I feel your pain, but I promised I would not speak of that again.:roll:

yep, I'm always up for a little "hen party"...anytime, girls.

Took my son to Chicago this afternoon for a music mentoring workshop led by Yo-Yo Ma and his Silk Road Enemble (Silk Road Chicago Project). About 50 youth sat in a discussion session, & listened to the Ensemble of approx. 10, play some pretty obscure instruments and diverse music. The theme was "getting people to re-imagine something they already know."

Pretty cool to watch Yo-Yo Ma walk around like a regular guy in his Docker's! He is such a nice person with no pretension or arrogance. Truly a sincere teacher & individual.

I think I'll cook hamburger patties in stewed tomatoes for supper. No rice. Too many carbs. There's a hog in the deer corn. Yes, got pic.
