Birthday Party

Today we went to buddy shelton's birthday party at binions steak house. Fifteen people showed up and it took a while for them to get us seated together. As usual, we all had lots of fun, when he opened up his gifts. I will have to tell you, no party can come up to mine last year when linda gave me that calendar with my head on those bodies! That put a years laughter in us all!

First Place Winner

Last week buddy and I went to the mountain state fair. After looking around at all the flowers on display, I decided to enter one of my summer poinsettas. Well, as you can see, I won the first place blue ribbon. Now ain't that e'nough to knock the socks off your feet!!

Finally Some Rain

We fianlly got some well-needed rain last night and all day today. All our little plants are smiling along with us!

STILL HOT HERE

Buddy and I went to the fair yesterday and it was so hot the potatoes cooked underground, so all you had to do was pull one out and add butter. All the trees around here are whistling for dogs. Lets hope for a cool down!

Brian

I think the reason brian has such a big smile on his face is because he has his hand on my butt!

Midget At Reunion

What a big suprise when I attended our family reunion recently! I found out I had a distant cousin 32 that stands only 3'4" He sure was a cute little thing and is a stand-up comedian. He travels all over the US doing his stand-up comedy. It was amazing to see all he could do. I noticed his jeans was men's short-shorts, they come down just below his shoes. So now we know where they get their clothes!

Visit To The Peach Farm

Recently, we took grand daughter katlyn with us to the peach farm in SC. She is 10 years old. Just as we got out of the van, here comes a little mexican boy that was working there, all smiles, getting up in her face speaking all in spanish. He was her size, but I'm sure older. He was probably hoping she could understand spanish. The look on her face showed a state of total shock, with mouth wide open and her big eyes blared, she said," I DON'T KNOW A WORD YOU ARE SAYING'. He grabbed a big peach and cut it in half for her, then grabbed a big pear and gave her some of it. As we started to leave, I told her to wave, she suprised me by doing just that. I think she made his day. I told her on way home that mexicans really did go for blonds and I'm glad he didn't know where we lived. We had some laughs about it on way home.-
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

To HOT TO COOK

We decided to go out to eat tonight since it was too hot to cook. You know you're getting old when you sink your teeth in a steak and they stay there! WHAT A LIFE!!!

Older We Get

Ever notice the older we get the more we're like computers. We start out with lots of memory and drive, then we become outdated and eventually have to get our parts replaced.

HOT, HOT & HOT

It's so hot here, this morning when I went outside a chicken had laid an egg that was already boiled, hee, hee. just kidding, but it sure is hot here. I've been outside all morning pouring some water on the figs, grape vines, & blueberry bushes, just to keep them from dying, too many flowers to even think about watering.

Flowers

Here are some of the flowers in my yard this year. Linda took these photos with her camera. My flowers have not done as well this year as in the past.
