Turns out that we had two showing this afternoon...we got the "all clear" from the Realtor at 3:20pm, that it was okay to return home. We all arrived within 10 minutes of each other and were all asleep within another 10 minutes....the FFF inhabitants were tired. Even Tank, the puppy, took a nap with me. No news from the Realtor. We have a friend here in Celina that is getting an offer on her house tomorrow...maybe it's in the air!
Danny and I return to work tomorrow....kinda ready. I have loved my 10 days off, but need to get back into my routine. Chelsey and Colby have Senior pictures tomorrow (she in a drape and he in a fake tux). Since Colby scheduled late, his is at 7:10am... He can't sleep in this way! As I type this, I am sitting outside in the garage with Duke. It is so nice out! Guess we'll have a week or two of fall, then it will turn cold. Ugh...
Lunches are made, dinner dishes cleaned up, laundry done and put away, car clean, just needs gas in the morning...and we'll be off and running for another week. Let's all make it a good one! Living for Friday nights again, we play in Pilot Point. HUGE rival game. 2 years ago there were 8,000 people here to watch it. More than the population of both towns combined. May have to go to work that way Friday morning and tape down a blanket, so we have a seat!
Night night from The FFF.

The smell of Pinesol...
Cleaned yesterday for 5 hours straight so that the house would be Spic and span for the showing. At 5pm, 2 hours before they are to arrive, my cell rings....they can't make it. I still had a good hour or so left of cleaning, so I toss all the mops, brooms, cleaning supplies, rags, etc., on the cabinet and went to Bingo with Sharon. Not a winner...only one crazy lady to laugh at. Stopped by Walmart at 10pm for washing powder and milk and was home by 11 and exhausted! Mopped the kitchen before calling it a night. They did at least reschedule for 1 pm today, so kind of them!
Woke this morning to wind and cool temps. Ahhhhh....love it! Makes it feel a little more like football weather... Typically I love summer, but this 100 degrees for 60+ days changed my ways a bit.
Forgot to cover a police visit on Thursday....I am napping and wake to a bit of commotion, well at least Danny, Chelsey and Colby talking in the kitchen, so I hit the floor to see what is going on. Seems that a cop came flying down the driveway, jumps out and runs to the door (Chelsey saw this part, good thing I was sleeping!). Colby goes to the door....asks if he drives the gray Dodge in the driveway. Yes sir, why? Well....it appears you left without paying for your gas at the Shell station.... Now, here's what happened: Colby stops for gas, puts his debit card in the machine (mind you, he NEVER knows how much he has in his account, so much for teaching him that part) and it doesn't work. Pump says "see attendant" so he goes in, gives his card, and goes back out to his truck to pump gas. It stops on $20.00. He thinks, okay that's how much I have in my account. Puts the gas cap on and drives away. The lady didn't tell him that his card didn't work inside, but she somehow cleared the pump. The cop knew this...he told Colby to just go back up there and pay and all is well, so he did. Now....Danny gets after me, because I always punch "no" for a receipt, when I get gas. One less piece of paper in my purse...being "green". From now on, I shall take the receipt option...can't have the cops chasing me down! I bet Colby is more cautious next time too. He can get into a mess without even trying!
Now I am off to clean my bedroom and straighten the attic.....they better be impressed at 1pm, because it is a LOT of work to clean this big house, but I am NOT going to leave them a note or anything telling them that. Maybe they will buy it and figure it out on their own!
Happy Labor Day all...

T-F-S
Can't remember what we did Thursday...stayed home I think.
Friday...Pep Rally then to the game at Prestonwood. They are back to back State Champions are were playing on a mission. They lost one of their coaches on August 1st. He colapsed at a 2 a day practice and later died. A dedication was held before the game, with his family on the field. Very touching. Then the game began...back and forth on scoring in the beginning. We went into half time behind. This rarely happens! With under 7 minutes to go we were down 33-21, only to come back and win it 34-33. It was exciting. Colby got a holding penalty in the 2nd quarter, which brought back a touchdown....so he stayed on the sidelines the rest of the game, looking very down I might add. His pal Jamarick had 277 rushing yards!!! It was his 40 yard run that was called back, so he would have been over 300. His name is pronounced Ja-Mark but the announcer kept saying Ja Ma Rick, which is what Danny has called him since pee wee football. Had no voice yesterday, due to all the screaming I did in the 4th quarter. Can I just say I LOVE Celina football!!!
Saturday...up and out early for a Dallas paper. Had to read all the scores and highlights. Back to bed at 10am and back up at a little after noon. When I went to bed, everyone was home. At noon everyone was gone. So....I went to Sonic for a drink and then road around looking at the 5 houses for rent in Celina. Not impressed..... Got a call from our realtor, house is showing between 7 and 8 pm this afternoon. Maybe, just maybe....
Went to bingo with Sharon last night....I tell you, we have more fun together! First we met at Jason's Deli for dinner then blasted off to Bingo. Third game I FINALLY got to yell BINGO!!! $500.00 pot...no split. Next game I was set needing 24 to Bingo again it comes up on the monitor, but some man behind me yells Bingo on the prior number. So....I was one number from $750.00. Two guys joined us at our table, and to say the least, they were comical. One with his pink dauber and the other a blue one....then, a couple joins them. The guy was a nice looking Hispanic man and his wife a pretty white girl, with GIANT boobs that were more out of her shirt than in. Sharon and I laughed so hard at everyone around us commenting and staring. We just might had to start a "People of East Plano Bingo" blog, like the one out there with photos of people in Walmart. Speaking of...she saw a man in WM yesterday with tight shorts, shirt and his thong underwear were sticky out of the back....good thing we were not together for this sighting!
As I sit outside at this moment, there is a cool breeze, gun shots in the background (dove hunters) and it's beautiful outside! This must be the "cool front" that was to come in....need rain too.
Off to clean house...pray they love it this afternoon!

M-T-W
Not much going on around here. Started walking each night, on the track, after dark. 2 miles a night so far. Ankle loosens up after about 2 laps and then it is fine. Barely a limp.
Found a long lost cousin in the past couple of days. Just emailed a short version of the Luckett family to him. Will see if he replies back. Also gave him our blog address and Carla's. If your reading this, I hope you enjoy.
Take care all, off to mow....

Another weekend recap...
Friday night lights were great last week! Carla and Paul got to watch Colby make his Senior Year Debute...he played almost the entire game. Won 49-6...hope they keep this up!
I slept almost all day Saturday...sorry Carla, I think the work week and quick trip to Vegas kicked my butt! Saturday night was bingo with Sharon...one of these nights I AM going to WIN something...I can just feel it. Carla, thanks again for my plaque...love it!
Today Danny and I got up and went to Starbucks...then breakfast and back home. Thank you Mom and Dad for coming up to wish me a happy birthday...was great to see you!
Chelsey and I went up to the track this afternoon...she ran and I walked/jogged, 2 miles. Considering it was 104 degrees, we thought that was far enough. Then back home to watch a little tv.
At this moment, everyone is in bed. Danny and I are on vacation this week....should be fun. I plan to renew my drivers license tomorrow, walk the track and have cookies ready for the kids when they get him from school. Oh, and I will turn 46 too. Ugh...
Off to bed, night night and love to all!

Vegas...hand in hand.
Made it there and back safe and sound. Black boot and all. Security swabbed it for explosives...all clear in Dallas and in Vegas. Not much to write about except.....
As I sat waiting for our plane to start boarding I saw a handsome guy walk up near our gate with a big bouquet of flowers. He had no ticket. No bag. Just flowers. I am thinking what the heck. They do not allow anyone in the airport without a ticket, so what's this guy doing. He's watching as a plane unloads and people walk out. He looks very excited. I can't take my eyes off of him...knowing I was about to witness something, just wasn't sure what. Lots of people get off the plane. He stands and waits, and waits, and waits. I begin to think whomever it is may have missed their plane. Then I see him smile from ear to ear and start walking toward the gate. A tall, beautiful brunette walks out and he grabs her in a hug and kisses her. She is all smiles and so is he. She...was wearing fatigues...and had a backpack. He stepped back and pulled a box from his pocket. I see a flash of his wedding band....he pulls hers from the box and he places it on her empty left hand. By this time I had tears streaming...he hugs her again and she smiles really big. They walk off hand in hand. Not sure I will ever forget this. You think about the men over fighting for our country....but I forget their are women too. Well...I knew, just didn't think about them leaving a husband behind to do it. I hope they had a nice evening, hand in hand. Such a beautiful sight. I was frozen watching...wish I had snapped a photo, just to remember that tender moment.
Off to clean....company coming tomorrow night.

First day...
First day of school was a success! Chelsey goes in at 7:20am and gets out at 12:30. Colby goes in at 10:30 and gets out at 2something. Chelsey said she was going to find a job...so she wouldn't be bored. LOL. I may never get a morning of Colby!
Only complaint was from Chelsey (of course....). She has one class with all freshman....it was the only elective that would still get her out by lunch. I told her to just be the adult and help all the little ones along this year!
Off to work. Have a great day all.
