Life is good here in West, By Goddess, Texas....I would bitch about the cold and our 'snow flurries' but Ol Lady in Canada, BYG and Nit Wit In Ohio, Carina and Lauren in Michigan keep besting my weather bitching...It got down to 18 degrees here and Ol Lady topped it by it being 18 below there..fuck...So I will tell you that it is in the 60's and a little breezy..The birds are about to eat me out of house and home...I went through a 20 lb bag of birdseed in less than 4 days...I have more birds to feed here and will stop feeding them on the porch as it is now covered with bird crap...Plus the wind is blowing the seed in the house every time I open the door...
Friday I got a lovely package from Alabama...a t-shirt dyed in Alabama dirt...a 'DIRT T-SHIRT'...how cool is that? It was of course sent to
me from our Alabama Mama, Junebugg..It got me interested in the concept of dying shirts in dirt and so I googled it and damn, there is a place on line where you can get dirt dyed t-shirts from Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama and several other states...I have the address but forgot to write it down so I could give it to you all, but if you email me I will give it to you..or if I remember, I will post it in the comment section..Anyhow the t-shirt I have is a brown color but they also come in an Alabama clay color ...they are cool...Now I have proof that I am older than dirt..My daughter Maryjo Is going to Europe..She is leaving the 22nd and coming back March 18th...Going to England, Ireland, Paris, and Amsterdam...good for her...Hope she has a wonderful trip...
I received 2 phone calls from kinfolk this morning...my second cousin Frank is coming down next weekend with wife and 3 kids and wanted to know about a motel to stay in, I told him about the Czech Inn, but told him, my couch makes into a queen size and we can take the pillows off and they the kids can bunk on the floor..They had all been down for our cousins wedding (he and wife are going to Paris for honeymoon, how cool is that..)and everyone missed me not being there..of course my son and his wife were there, which confused the kinfolk...why would Thom come and not bring his mother..?...ask Thom I said..Just when I think things are kinda sorta getting back to normal, I realize it was being done with smoke and mirrors..Anyhow, they are coming down and it really will be great to see them...Then I talked to my pistol packing Aunt Leola...oh, you would love my Aunt..if it wasn't for her I don't think I would be around here doing what I do...she rescued me when I was about 6 months old and took me from Oklahoma where my sister and I had been left in a motel while our mother was out entertaining the troops on leave..My sister was sent to live with our mother's family and Aunt Leola took me to Houston, where I lived till I was 4 years old...So I am very close to my 'Wowo.'..Which is what we called her when we were little as we couldn't say Leola..She and I want to have the reunion again here in West...I had it here one year and it was more fun...had a great time and they also got to enjoy Westfest...So hopefully we will have it here this year...if so ...........man......will I have a great post then..ha..
What e
lse..oh yes, Maryjo's friend in North California sent her a ticket to go see Michael Franti and Spearhead in San Francisco..gets all the comp treatment and gets to go back stage..meet and greet all the big wigs..she's pretty pumped over it..expect her to call today and tell me how it went..I have never heard of this band before but I guess they are known for doing benefits for world peace and other causes...They are sorta reggae, hip hop, soul, rock, etc.????????? Hell, I don't know..they play music..check em out..My neighbor(can't remember her name..the 75 year old walker)..came over yesterday morning, the postman put my mail in her box...I invited her in and we had a nice talk...She's a sweety...she goes to Church at the First Baptist Church every Sunday and prays to God out loud...I was tempted to tell her I pray out loud to the Goddess, but figured..why rock the boat, I have plenty of time to shock her out of her drawers...besides she will be someone to walk with and don't need to run her off first thing..She is a reader too, so gave her a stack of books to read..she was so excited..I had put out a bunch of books in the laundry room with a note saying read and bring back so others can read them too, and they are doing that..She said she read 3 of them and is waiting for the others to make the rounds..
She and several others from the apartments go to the Senior Cen
ter(right by the Library) for lunch every day..it cost $1.50 for lunch and she says it's pretty good...I might try it and see how I like it...Be nice to make some new friends.........Brawhahahahahahahahahahah! Yeah, fucking right...Like I said, until one of the 6 people that are supposed to carry my ass to the grave croaks, I see no need for making new friends..plus I have you guys to pick from...right?..
I have to go now...NASCAR is on...I have to watch and root for Matt for Babs...oh cool, Nicolas Cage just told them to 'Start Your Engines.'....I would love to see Babs be able to do that..How cool would that be...
fuckme till my engine purrs....
