WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30
 We’ve had worse days, but this one is in the top five since I’ve lived here. This morning I was going to put it as the 3rd worst windy day, but I think I will put it at #5. We are expecting a monster day tomorrow. Fed Ex came by this morning. I thought the poor woman was going to end up with her arm caught in the door it was blowing so bad. It was miserable. Rumsfeld had a rough day. He went downstairs to the bedroom with me this evening. Doc trapped him in the ... more »

Finishing Up Early for a Change!

SATURDAY, APRIL 19
 There’s not much going on. Last night I made the mistake and opened the balcony door late in the evening. (It was a bit warm). A bug flew in and ended up down in my bathroom. Someone (and we all know which little pink nose kitty) knocked my alcohol scent infuser over – spilling about a cup of flammable liquid into the bathroom carpet. Good thing it was citrus flavored. The scent was so cloying I couldn’t sleep. Finally realized if I put the towels I used to soak as much up out of the carpet as ... more »

THURSDAY, APRIL 17
 I only have one post today.
We spent yet another afternoon in the ER with my mother. Her heart rate was good, but her BP was high – for her. Evidently she had some sort of an attack this AM. She heads back to Las Cruces to the cardo. on Monday. Guess that means I cancel my pedicure.
While she was in the ER her sister called. Mae Raines (aunt of one day HOFer Tim Raines) had a catastrophic stroke this morning. May went to work for my grandmother when I was 10 days old, and ... more »

 A few minutes ago I called my father and told him I would give him ten bucks if he would take Rumsfeld off my hands this evening. The little monster somehow managed to climb up the table where I was stashing the garbage (to dump tomorrow) and pulled it down. Yep, he shredded the bag and scattered things everywhere. He and Bubbles were so naughty last night I did not get to sleep until about 6:15 this morning!

Will It Ever Be Spring?

SUNDAY, APRIL 13

It was something like 26 this morning. I over-slept and was 15 minutes late for church. Or, I was right on time, for me. Fr. Peter had a wonderful sermon on just how much God loves us, and pays attention us. We are all important in His sight. It was just what I needed today. I’m in charge of the church raffle this year during our Christmas in July. The last time I was in charge of it I raised nearly $2000, which is something of a record. Since Josie (one of my best friends) is in ... more »

FRIDAY, APRIL 11
 I am only doing two posts today. I’ve spent much of the evening piddling around and making some changes. I think I solved the slow loading problems. All I did was move my TLB badge to the right column, re: Beth Cleaver’s smart advice a few months ago. Then I moved the site meter badges. I discovered my site meter was causing all the problems! I hate that thing. I’ve added a registration form, and made the RSS forms easier to find. If you have been reading TPF this evening, you may have noticed a few color ... more »

Nothing to Say?

THURSDAY, APRIL 10
 I can’t think of a darn thing to say this evening. I’m working on some good stuff for the weekend. Aside from the usual Barack Obama stuff, not much is going on. The wind is still making me crazy. We had a few sprinkles of rain this AM. Further up in Ruidoso IT SNOWED! Not much else to report. Oh, be sure to take the test to see what sort of a Republican you are. Much to my delight, I am an ENTERPRISER! I think you know where we are going there.

The Wind Is Making Me Crazy!

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9
 I’ve calculated the wind today is the 4th worst I’ve seen in 10 years of living here. The worst of it, is we get dust and dirt, but someone east of us will end up with tornados. The whole area looked overcast and foggy due to the white sand in the air. I swear the animals are crazy over it.
Maybe they are still “drunk”. I allowed them to do some recreational drugs last night late. Doc is still full of C-nip (all over her hair). She is in a vile mood, which is usual when she ... more »

TUESDAY, APRIL 8
 This morning I found a bag of kitty Christmas presents in the back of the Durango. We just opened them. Naturally we are having some fun. Miss Beverly Sills, AKA “Bubbles” is running around like a crazy kid. Bat Masterson has a c-nip mouse. Rumsfeld is running around trying to take everything away from the kitties. I think a good thing is being had by all.
My mother is still feeling quite bad. I hope it is a bug. She’s not been able to keep anything down since leaving the ER Sunday evening. I’m not too happy ... more »

 So far 3 subdivision have been evacuated between the Inn of the Mountain Gods and heading back into town. It looks like they were able to hit it quickly and everyone seems to be heading back home. The one near Capitan hit 10,000 acres today (already yet)
MISS BEVERLY SILLS IS A BRAT I think that says enough, don’t you?

Ruffini started it with his John McCain Face Book Challenge. Okay, I did it. Then I had to do my own darn page. Please, feel free to sign up on it. The other week I learned how to Twitter. This stuff still doesn’t make sense to me.
So, I did the whole darn mess. Charlotte informs me this is how college students waste time. I believe it. So I have been wasting time uploading photos of the family including a number of baby photos of Miss Beverly Sills, AKA Bubbles Silverman. (I still ... more »
