If you are down and out…like no road out or exit signs..go to youtube and listen to The Voice winner this year Jordan Smith sing….Somebody to love…I am so waiting for his CD to come out wherever or whatever it is….
It has been sometime since we have talked…we all spend Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years without speaking…I am hoping that you had a great time during the holidays..guess what I got for Christmas..BACON….NOW I know that some of you are laughing but it was just the perfect gift for me..along with some of that sausage..and chicken..lots and lots..I am enjoying it very much..it came from daughter who knows my likes well..
Oh and I have to tell you this story about daughter..now you know what an animal lover she is..she volunteers a couple of days a week at a vets office in the city where she lives..and I must tell you she loves it..so we get to hear some stories about different kinds of pets that people bring in for care..the one that sticks in my mind the most is…this older couple brought in their pet chicken for treatment…there was a problem with his foot..now the chicken was named …BIG RED…and of course the vet made it well again..I thought that was so neat…
Earlier in the year I had contacted the FBI about putting Mother Nature on their most wanted list..she seemed to be out of control and making trouble everywhere…well they called me to let me know they had removed her from that position and replaced her with “EL Nino”….however they do think that perhaps they are related..could be her cousin or nephew or something..I am hoping they put a stop to it’s action quickly…this is not the season for all the storms…here we have 80 degrees one day..the next wind in the range of 50 per ..and the next day snow…I personally think they need to do an audit of the books and manuels etc…to see who and what someone has managed to mess up..
Well if you have followed my stories thru the years you know that we have had feral cats for a longgggg time..the old tin barn that has stood on the farm for as many years as I have been here…38 years and even before that has seem to have become a haven for them…we have seen them come and go…little one and big ones…and yes we fed them…could not stand to see them starve..and during that period of time as I have told you some have become tame and loving..
Now Ranger the warrior cat has raised and trained many of them for living in the real world..the last couple was my favorite…they looked like twins..and we called them Tubby and Chubby..we watched as he took them out for tree climbing lessons..and over the fence for hunting..and finally one day they were gone…now Tubby is home down the street and it looks like a good place..we past it often and he is seen on his chair and in the window…I am happy for him but I miss him
Recently a new little kitty came it is so pretty and since we do not know …he or she…I named it…”little bit” …Now Ranger the warrior cat SORTA …watched out for it..one day I noticed Ranger in his favorite spot chair on the porch ...laying for a nap and little bit was laying on top of him…as I watched little bit as most kids do started wiggling around and Ranger reached up and swatted him with his paw…be still…little bit has grown more now and wanders off for a few days..but does come back thru..
Now you must understand that Ranger is the total boss of this household…sometimes he goes on a trip for a couple of days and we worry about him..as he is getting older and battered from his battles with the other outdoor whatevers…he does not need to speak..if he wants the chair you are sitting in he simply stands in front of you and opens up his eyes big as if to say…time for you to get up as I want that chair…and we do..
Now from the “watching chair” I have seen Snarky the squirrel shopping for groceries…the pecan tree just outside the window …lost it’s leaves but some of the little pecans remained on the limbs…so when Snarky needs to shop he runs up the tree and out on a limb to pick one for eating..reminds me of shopping at the store…going down the aisles for picking up supplies and tossing them in your basket
And Ms Kelly the state paper’s big person sent me a lovely Thunder schedule for this year season..I posted it right on the fridge where I can see who is coming and where we are going…this year I am in a kinda funk…the team is going thru lots of changes and are having a problem ..but I will not give up on them..GO THUNDER…
On a personal level…gentle eye doctor and I are dating again…we had not seen each other for a couple of months..but my visit to his office…showed that again that stupid swelling was back and vision was really down and we would start the treatment….stick that needle in your eye….choices are not good…no treatment..no vision…I did tell him that he was almost off my favorite doctor list..
and
I finally have joined the world on facebook…now I am still trying to figure it all out..daughter got my page started and niece Lisa has helped with a problem as well… for the current time if you drop by you won’t see much…I don’t know how to post pictures…maybe next time daughter comes I can get her to take a picture of the …old tin barn…and post it…
Well that is it for this time…hope you did not get bored…with all this stuff…
