Music......music.......music

I added music to my blog after going through a "green eye" moment......did not have any idea how to do it, but figured if "they" could do it so could I...!! The bug really got me when I visited one of my favorite on-line stores....she had music and the panel was pink. Well, that's all it took!! A button pushed here...and a button pushed there.....PRESTO.....music. I chuckled loudly when I added Elvis' version of "Yellow Rose of Texas"...and his "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You". Just had to add those song to my Texas based blog. I am sure all of you burst out into laughter as I did when the song came up on the panel. Silly me. If you haven't listened to the music.....press the button it is worth the chuckle!!

Carters Chord is a musical group out of Nashville. They just finished touring with one of my favorites....Toby Keith....and they are really good! They are three sisters who once attended the church I went to in California.....all grown up and simply beautiful.....check out their web site for more about them. Carterschord.com

Enjoy listening to some of "my favorites" while you browse through my entries.

I am getting old......

This past weekend I went out on my ATV......had a blast! Today I am sooo sore! My muscles are aching and I have come to realize I am not 20 any longer and I need to pull back a bit when I ride. To top matters off.......I tried to put the ATV on the trailer and I ended up having a motorcycle fall against my right hand pinning it down. It hurt to say the least. I didn't break anything, but at the time I thought I did!! All I kept thinking....I have no insurance and it was going to hurt worse to come up with the money than my hand being injured. My wrist and pinkie took the blunt of the injury, but they will feel better faster than my leg muscles! I know from now on......I will not be loading my ATV...someone else is going to have to do that for me!!

Missing............

A couple of days ago while watering the front flower bed, I noticed an imprint of what resembled hoof prints of a very large - well, what came to my mind was deer or moose prints...it was that big!! Anyway, I kept wondering just what had been in my garden....today it hit me! My ceramic family of rabbits had been stolen!! Not only my cute little family, but my shabby chic bird plant poke that was in the opposite flower bed..........gone.......all three things!

Probably some silly teenager who happened to think this would be a fun thing to do. In the two years I have been living here nothing has ever been taken from the front porch or the flower beds. Guess there is a first time for everything!!

Because thieves usually return to the scene of the crime......and because I have made it easy for them....they will probably come back for something else. To think I have been complaining about the neighborhood cats and those pecan stealing squirrels, when all along my real issue was with someone who wanted some of my 'girlie things'.

Auntie Sandi's grandaughter....Devynn

My room that is up for 'adoption'...

This morning when I opened the mailbox on my computer.....there were 8 responders to my ad for my spare room which I listed for 'adoption'. I could hardly contain my excitement....my bubble burst within minutes. EVERY ONE of them were written from out of the country. RED FLAG! Two of them were constructed EXACTLY the same....only the names were different. ANOTHER RED FLAG!

Must I tell you I did not email any of them back! Made for interesting reading and a good laugh!

Don't worry.......I am being careful!!
