Tough day...

Megan, my heart goes out to you. She was a special lady to so many. Much love and if you need anything, just let us know. We have an angel to watch over us....

She's exhausted!

Chelsey is going in for day 3 of working at Dodie's in Frisco. She worked Thursday, Friday and now today. She stayed home last night because wage was so tired... ;-). Now if we can just get Colby tired!

Sunday...

Up this morning and off to Starbucks then Farmers Market in downtown Dallas. I looked up the address. 1010 Pearl Street. Thought for sure Danny knew where it was. Um, not so much he had me turning here. Turn there. Stop here. Go back. I finally just got back on 75 North...and we went to Farmers Market in Plano. Then to WalMart in Mckinney and home. Walked Lily. Left Tank at home. He was not happy...but he has started acting like a stink when I try and put on his leash, so I left his butt behind. I bet he is better tomorrow. After Lily, I came back and got Duke. He loves getting into the lake. Planning on hitting the street in the morning, without the dogs, to see how far I can jog. Gotta lose some weight! Wish me luck...have a great week all. I have meetings all day Monday and Tuesday....PK

Bingo!

My bingo buddy Sharon text me at 5pm asking I wanted to go play bingo. Hummm...i was at work. So, I leave and text Danny, no reply, Texts again, no reply then I text Dammit Danny...he responds. So I ran home, changed and headed to Plano. Game 2 I win!!! $250. Game 7 Sharon wins!!! $250. It was a good night...we always laugh and have a great time. Night night, Pam

What have they been doing for the past month and a half?

Chelsey and Colby have soaked up about 6 weeks of fun since graduation and are now to the "oh shit, now what am I going to do" part of their lives.... We have had a number of conversations about jobs, applications, follow ups, what they invision for their future, etc. One example is earlier in the week when Chelsey and I were having a HEATED discussion about her future. I asked: Do you want to go to college? What do you want to do after college? Do you want to dream for a while and go work on a cruise ship, just get any old summer job and make sure it can be part time when college starts in August, dabble here and there to see what you really like? How about the military? A trade school? Nursing? She applied on line at one of the companies I used to work for many years ago and after she hit submit, she did a deep sigh, as if her phone was going to right right away. One thing is for sure She's not clear on all the answers yet. The discussions with Colby go like this: He comes home out.of.breath telling us about applying at Collon County. He talks about having to get his CDL license to work there and how he can just call Coach Crook (the wonderful and patient man that taught the kids drivers ed) to get the short version class. He worked Monday from 8-12 and then talked about how hot it was....he was moving Sheetrock and stuff for a guy remodeling a house in Weston. He applied at Brookshires, Dickeys BBQ, and some other place here in Celina. Yesterday, after a tiring week of job searching and working FOUR hours...he took a break and went to the lake all day with friends. This is not the end of my stories....it's only the beginning, I have a feeling. To my Daddy, it was great to talk to you on my way home last night. Love you! To Megan, my heart goes out to you, as I know your plate runneth over at the momment. Hug Aunt Sharon for me and give her my love. Off for an oil change and possibly to the office for a little while. Love to all and Happy Saturday.

A nice quiet birthday at home...

Home sweet home

Spent yesterday fishing all day....didn't catch many, but enjoyed every minute of it. This morning Danny and I looked at each other and at almost the exact same time said "let's go home...". We packed up and were home by 10am. Cleaned the house, unpacked, did laundry, cooked a big dinner for his birthday, walked the dogs, watered the front yard, took a hot bath, changed our sheets and now...I am sitting in my recliner relaxing. Not sure the kids missed us, excapt for cooking. Chelsey said she washed plates and cups the entire time we were gone. Made me laugh... Ashley, Chelsey and Colby wanted to take Danny out for lunch today....but we came home early instead, then they wanted to take him to dinner. He said he'd rather stay home. Aren't we the party animals....he's having birthday cake now and I'd bet he is cashed out before 10pm. 59 and holding... PK

Beautiful sunset

First try!

Success with 2 attempts

After she told him how to do it right. LOL.

Same family. Boat #2. Good grief!

Only about 50% of the people who try, are successful on their first attempt

My fishing spot is very entertaining....right by the boat ramp. Yesterday a guy tried no less than 25 times, which included cussing, burning out, losing a wheelbarrow that he ran over and finally getting out and his son backed down the ramp on the first try. Danny and I laughed so hard! Back today to see how people fair...

And just a few more pictures. The last one is of the ducks at the marina...

He's sleeping AGAIN!

The sights...

Fair warning....

If I ever hit the lottery, we may have a floating home! And yes....it would be on Texoma. I love this place!

Breakfast

Love me some Belgium Waffles...just like they make at the state fair!

Just a couple of ducks

Fished on the pier for a little bit today. Caught a catfish that was almost 3 boards long. No picture... I was by myself and with gloves and no pliers, it hit the water as soon as I got him off the hook! Danny was snoozing, so this is who joined me.....

Ahhhhh......

The view from our cabin... Happy to be here, even in the rain!
