LITTLE JACKIESUE?

~ One day my mommy was out, and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a gift, and it was one of my favorite toys.
Daddy was in the living room reading the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water.
After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home. My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!' My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy; and she watched him drink it up.
Then she said, (as only a mother would know), "'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?"
this is just a joke..but it could have been true...

BOLISH AT 90


What a life..he's got lovely ladies that take care of all his needs(well, not ALL his needs)and can't remember anything but the good times. Is still going around and wishing everyone a good morning and Shady comes to visit and bring him his favorite things like carrot cake and potato salad. Then he sleeps. We should all be so lucky. Happy 90th birthday Bolish.

HOLY SHIT!...2 INCHES












I'm going to make this a 2 parter because of the snow pictures..I kept saying we got 1/2 inch of snow when I discover we got 2 inches of snow. I know considered to most parts of the country that got 8 inches and up, 2 inches isn't much at all..but for us...it was a big deal. I thought you'd get a kick of out the mutant snowmen. The kids in West don't have a lot of experience in throwing together snowmen, so they don't look like the snowmen you might see from Maine, Canada, or any other northern states. Although it seems we do make a great snow duck. The one snowman looks more like a deer or a gigantic rabbit. But I think they did pretty good...
I am really enjoying the Olympics ..the curling is fun to watch and so are the snow boarders..Actually I like it all. Keep waiting for K.D. Lang to come back and do an encore. Will finish up the rest of the West post tomorrow. Getting late and need to finish my book on the Hellraisers. Book about Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole and Oliver Reed. When I first started reading it I was just stunned with the amount of booze they drank, all the wild things they did, all the 'good times'..Now the further I get into the book the sadder it is. They wasted so much of their lives doing shit that they didn't remember, drank so much they just stumbled through movies and ruined careers more than once. The only one still standing is O'Toole and he looks pickled. Very sad...Makes me glad I couldn't drink any more than I did.
















WEST, TEXAS NEWS ALMOST


Due to the Olympics...the West, Texas News will be done tomorrow..I'm watching Hockey, Curling and Snowboarding...It's fucking fantastic.
