Becky's New Car

Friday Becky took delivery of her brand "SPANKIN" new Nissan Altima. That Sonoma Red sure looks pretty in the sun.

Bonanza

A few weeks ago I was watching Antique Roadshow when someone inquired about their autographed photos of the cast of Bonanza. According to the expert the most prized photo was the one of Dan Blocker. He unfortuately was not around as long as the other actors, dieing before his time. I immediately called Becky, knowing that she and I both had photos of Dan Blocker. Becky's dad, Mike, was grew up in the same small town and was buddies with the man that would become Hoss Cartwright.

Today, Becky brought by a couple of photocopies she made while at home the last trip. The first photo was of Mike Burns, Dan Blocker, two police officers... and... wait a minute... i think I know that person... Yep. That's my dad squeezing in the picture. I'd know that jewelry anywhere. Keep in mind that was 1967. Wearing that much jewelry back then.. .he must have stuck out like a sore thumb. But he did make it all, so it was cool.

Mental Health

The weekend in Buffalo Gap was just what the doctor ordered. On Doctor Horners advice, I made sure my blood pressure didn't get too high. Removed myself to Buffalo Gap. My sister met me there and we had a mental health weekend.

Driving Lessons

She is having a little bit of a problem with the steering.

Mechanics

Sometimes it's just easier to work on your car from the inside. We spent this pretty winter day out in the drive way playing race car. I know that makes her mommy cringe.

Ground Hog Day

Well it is an absolutely beautiful day in Waco today. The current temp is 73, for those of you reading this in the frozen North. I chatted with Mel in Michigan today. It's days like today that she and I use to sit on the driveway and visit for hours, just enjoying the sun and each other. She suffered through the -40 below wind chills this week. Whew!
JaiceyBelle is feeling better. She did test positive for the flu and we felt justified in taking her to the ER. Lacey is feeling better too.
Kris and Lacey's friend J-Watt wrecked his bike this week. Monday evening when the wind was gusting at 50 mph he was headed home from a friends house. Jury is still out on what exactly happened, but two things for sure. Motorcycle, and NO helmet. Many prayers were said on this young man's behalf. God was listening, and by Friday when i went by to visit. He was out of ICU and on his way to recovery. No broken bones! No deminished brain function. ( I put it that way... because afterall, he was riding without a helmet, so his previous function might be in question). Thank you Lord for taking care of John.
