Frog in the Blue Room

I love my life. Even though I live without some conveniences-we have no indoor plumbing therefore we have an outdoor toilet-or outhouse as my Grandma would say. My younger brother lived on a riverbank once & had an outhouse with no front door so as you sat on the seat you could gaze out on the river & even wave at any boats that went by-heh. Our outhouse is not hand dug but a Roto Rooter special, we 've had the same one now for 13 years-we call it the Blue Room, mainly cause it is blue. In the winter & spring especially we have many frogs & for some odd reason they like the Blue Room. The result of this untoward frog affection is-when we go to use it & unroll the toilet paper invariably a wet cold little frog will land in your open hand-sometimes two at once. At times it can scare the crap out of a person-heh. They fall out & then begin climbing right back up to their favorite perch-I do not know what they see in the whole toilet paper thing but it happens quite regularly so I know they like it there. I love frogs.

Old Friends

wow-I just reconnected with an old friend, what a lucky person I am-cannot waite to hear something more from her-its has been over 20 years. Going to go to 4 concerts this year-busy busy busy-I wish I could retire & play around the rest of my life-hah-no luck there. Garden is planted now & even got a flowering plum to gaze at in the backyard-ah jeez-never enough time to do all the things I want to do but at least I have a word or two in tonite. Its going to be an interesting year this year-my son will have his second child in a couple of months-a boy. I just love having so many grandchildren-I truly feel they are my immortality. Tonite though my mind is on an old friend-she means more to me than she will ever know.

Spring is Springing

There are daffodils blooming in the yard & the smell of spring is in the air. Gonna take a trip to Washington D.C. next year-it will be great to go & see & touch all of the history that is there for sure. I have another Granddaughter birthday coming up & so want to wish this March girl a happy life & good health too. Really looking forward to this coming tuesday, we shall see what happens politically in Texas & Illinois, such a historical year for all this political stuff-gotta love it, to see our country in action. Got some good pix of the recent lunar eclipse-it was beautiful. The next one will be on my birthday-wow. The new camera is great-its a Canon A720-very nice. I am fervently hoping that next wednesday will be a big party day for Barack Obama-he is the person this country desperately needs to regain the respect we have lost in the world, I know he can do it.

Happy New Year

I will start this by saying Happy Birthday to my beautiful Granddaughter-may you live long & prosper. She is one of four...I am very blessed. Now a happy 2008 to this world we all live in-I have great expectations for this year-I think lots of good things are gonna happen...one biggy being the elections-we shall elect a new prez this year & it is high time I would think. I am supporting Barack Obama in the primaries-he represents true change to me. Any Democrat will do though. I am tired of all the bad vibes this country has been getting for the past years-there has to be a better way of doing things. Americans are not stupid people so that is why I think things will get better-they cannot get much worse. My resolution this year is to lose 50 pounds-we will see. I have learned many new things over these christmas holidays & its been a wonderful time. Onward & upward to this great new year & unknown surprises of life.
