JUST FOR FUN

Just because...

Thought I would post something that is not depressing and news. Well except that it is our news here in the South...

The Super Bullfrog guarding his catnip.



This is a miniature banana tree. This is the first year that it has ever bloomed... We will see if it makes it till the first frost of the season.

FROG STORY AND MY DH

DH says he guesses that I wrote the book on having a "stupid husband". Just let me tell you what happened. We were riding down the road tonight coming back from the Sonic from Hell and he says that I have to tell you what a stupid thing I did the other day, but I guess you wrote the book on having a stupid husband so I probably don't even have to tell you this story, but here it goes. He actually dodged a frog in the freaking road. Can you believe that crap. A dam frog. What a retard I told him he was and I even agreed with him on the stupid part.

Then we were driving up the driveway and he says "I am going to go and turn the water off that I left on earlier, and by the time I get up to the house you might be just getting out of the car with your slow self." That was after I had hit him in the head with my crutches trying to get them out of the back seat of his car that were stuck. Well I broke record speed and made it out of the car and up to the porch just as he did, and being the oh so sweet DH that he is, he lets the dang big white dog in before me AGAIN. Well I have fixed that crap. I accidentally put a crutch down on his bare foot. LOL... He is thinking that I did it intentionally, but really it was an accident, but a funny one to me...I think he has learned his lesson to not make fun of me any more. I have been slow all day for some reason or another.

We met my niece in town with her two kids so that I could buy them shoes for their birthday, and I thought that the 4 year old was going to tear the store up running everywhere. We finally got the shoes bought, and they wanted to ride with up to Bude. I warned them that they would have to sit in the back of the PT Cruiser with the big white dog and they were all excited. Talk about a road trip. We laughed all the way to my parents house. I won't even begin to tell you some of the things that DH was teaching my 4 year old nephew. Everyone at my parents house new before the party was over what grose things he and DH talked about. DH had him convinced that the gumbo that we were going to eat was made with gum. That is just one of the things that these two discussed. We laughed so hard that we were crying before we made it to my parents house.

The August Birthday Party was great. It's always great to walk in my folks house and see and hear so much joy. DH forgot to get my camera out of the car so I did not get any pictures, but I made him take me for a stoll with the camera after we got home, and gosh was it HOT still at 6:30 pm tonight. I thought I would snap a picture of just how hot it was. It was 102 earlier...

I have graduated to just a lace up brace and working very hard on my at home therapy so that hopefully by Wednesday I will only have to use one crutch.

ANOTHER OUTSIDE STROLL

I really wanted to make it to the end of the yard, but just could not do it. I wanted to see if I could figure out where I want the flag pole to go, but it will just have to wait until I can get down there on foot.

DH even got the riding mower out to see if I could ride it down there, but the clutch and break are on the left side. Oh well, it won't be much longer. At least I got a few pictures.

MY FIRST DAY IN THE YARD AND SHOPPING

It was so nice out this morning I decided to venture out the back door and do a little picture taking and this is all I could find by scooting around on my butt on the back deck. LOL...

Then my best friend Carol called and wanted to know if I wanted her to come up and take me to town. Well I was just itching to go buy a few groceries, but somehow never ended up at the grocery store. We hit Academy and the mall and by that time I was give out. I had to make sure I had not forgotten how to spend money. It all came back to me in no time at all. My plan was to find a pair of shoes that had a higher sole on them, and we managed to find two pair, and it definately helps me on the knee thingie.

I am give out, but I will sleep well tonight for sure.

JUST CAN'T HELP IT...

SO SO HOT...

It's only June and it is way too hot to go outside. I was not out there but maybe five minutes and that was about four minutes too long, but did manage to take a few pictures of the garden that is going to be more than I can handle with all the tomatoes that they are producing already.

Henry is making sure that the cats and ducks don't get in the garden.


This plant has so many tomatoes on it. DH has had to add more rebar to help hold them up this year. This is the tomato that he has named after my Dad (The George Price Tomato). We are working on getting it officially named through the County Extension Office.


I will be busy for the next several weeks at work, then the kids will be in from Belgium for a long visit and if things go as they hope, they might be coming home for good. We are keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes through. I sure miss my shopping partner in crime.

ROSES

Came home from work and DH said that it was a must that I grab the camera, so grab the camera I did, and these pictures just don't do them any justice.
