Wow....20 years ago today!

Can't believe it's been 20 years since I was painting a wood fence so it would look good in the pictures....and now that I look back at the pictures, the darn fence is not even in there! Happy 20th Anniversary Danny....love you! PK

Happy Birthday Ashley!

Can hardly believe you will be 28 tomorrow....seems like only yesterday, that I first laid eyes on you, riding on your Daddy's shoulders at the Rains County Fair. I think you were almost 3 at the time. You were saying you wanted to RIDE NOW and pointing to the Merry go Round. Such a pretty little sassy girl....and now a beautiful, wife, Mom, car pool driver, sister, daughter, grand daughter, niece, daughter in law, cookie baker, landscaper, repair lady, and most importantly, one that is loved by so many, especially me! Enjoy your day, and remember we have a Happy Meal date very soon... XOXO, P

What to do on a rainy Sunday?

What else would I do today....besides cook... Menu is breakfast casserole, homemade donuts ( yes Mom, like you used to make), and hash browns first....letting the casserole "rest" for 30 minutes at the moment, after it sat all night in the frig. Marinating pork chops in soy sauce and honey, to grill later. Also going to make a chicken casserole (Danny will say, wooho, more chicken, NOT), steamed veggies, pasta, salad, and a Gooey Butter Cake, that sounds fabulous. If it's good, I'll share the recipes later.

Okay.....Carla....Target? Really? Least you and Morgan were not alone... And glad you were safe. Please do come see us...been a while!

Off to see if my casserole has "rested" enough to put in the oven...seriously though, who comes up with this stuff. I think about receipes sometimes, and who was gutsy enough to mix certain things together and cook it. Take an egg as an example. There are many things you can do with it, boil, scramble, use in recipes, drink (gags me to think about that), devil them, etc...

And now I leave you with my new favorite quote......"be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, the devil says "oh crap, she's up"". Love it!

Happy Sunday all, and Morgan, you should start a "my Senior Year" blog.....sniff, sniff.

Academy...

No shirt today...went to Academy in McKinney, only to walk in and see at least 100 people in line. I think to myself OKAY, just how bad do I want this shirt... I decide to lurk around and see how fast the line is moving...to the back of the store I go, back up front, over to the Life is Good stuff, and back up front. STILL no movement. I go to look at the Ranger shirts and they are all the same that have been out for a while. Nothing new. THEN I see an employee go up to the line and say, okay the FIRST truck has arrived and the boxes at the back have THESE...he holds up a World Series cap, and says they are $29.95 each. Several people say I'll take one, two, three..... Then he says the OTHER truck should be here soon. Sooooo...I can do one of two things, the first option, join in with the other 100+ people OR I can go home without a shirt......guess what I did? Let's just say I'll figure out another way to get a shirt...I came home. Wonder what was in the front of the truck? Maybe I go see tomorrow...

Chelsey, Dallas, and Brent have been at Tarleton State today "checking things out and meeting the coaches" as well as going to the game. Chelsey just text and said "not impressed.". Unclear if that means Dallas of herself, LOL, or both... Colby is downtown, at the fall festival. Danny is in his chair in shorts and no shirt. I am in my recliner under a blanket! Left this morning in capris and flip flops, came back after getting gas, and put on jeans and a jacket...least it's not 100 degrees anymore, time to semi retire the flip flops.

San Fran and Phillys are tied 2-2 ....come on already, get it over with, and let's get to going with the World Series!!!!! Still can't believe it's going to be played in Texas!

Night all....Aunt Barbara, glad your still enjoying the virtual books...and not all of the books I read and blood and guts....the gushy ones are on our bookshelves...

Glad I could entertain you again...

A few beers and shrimp....

A few beers and shrimp at Hooters....oh and a Ranger win! Loads of fun....woke up early, back to bed, ring ring went the phone at 7am, yes Daddy...still sleeping, back to bed, up at 9am. I think I am good to go now. No plans for the day, EXCEPT, finding a World Series shirt. I am sure the Tshirt presses were burning up last night by the 3rd inning....claw and antlers are a must have.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Something new at the Fenter Funny Farm...

Paul....you'll love this. This morning I am out in the garage at the butt crack of dawn, and I see something move out at the edge of the garage....being the chicken "afraid of the dark" person....I take off for the back door. Then I hear "meow ". Tiger looks at me like WHAT was that....then, all of a sudden, appears a yellow cat that looks just like Morris the Cat on tv. So......for the first time ever, we've had an animal find us...instead of disappearing. We'll see if he or she stays around....just put food out for Tiger and I already heard the other one meowing out in the darkness. It better learn to be quiet, or it will not last long out there....

Speaking of darkness....the other night Danny and I were watching tv, and it was one of those "lady home alone and hears a noise" moments of the show. She got a candle stick and her phone and went looking for the noise. She called her husband and said "I think someone is in the house" I leaned over to Danny and said "babe, if I hear a noise, I'll call you, but it will be from my car as I am flying down the driveway.". Dang sure will not be as I hold a candle stick and go looking for the boogie man! When you go look, they always find you.

Night night,
Pam

20 years ago...

In exactly one week Danny and I will celebrate 20 years married....I can not believe it! If I said I remembered every detail about 20 years ago, you'd all know that is not the truth. Hell, I can't even remember why I get up and walk into another room sometimes, forget 20 years ago today! I do know this.....I was probably at home with Ashley, watching tv, making sure her school uniform was clean, planning her birthday, watching her eat out of a giant bowl of veggies (with ranch of course), picking out yet another bedroom color for her, checking her hamster (I do remember his name was Sable), letting her sit on the cabinet while I cooked, dropping her off at her Aunt Suzie's house before I left for work, making sure she had that bow just so in her hair, begging her to take a bath, making a fun run to the mall, going to McDonalds, playing at the playground, making her lunch, tgetting her foot out of the toilet, checking to make sure her toothbrush was actually wet after she brushed, the list is endless..... As is my love for her. Tough things happened oh so many years ago, things a 7 year old should never have to go thru. But we made it, and I love her more everyday, I just don't get to see her very often. And I am terrible about checking In on her. But she stole my heart many years ago and was my first.... So....Ashley, I hope you are reading this, and know that I love you bunches, am sorry that I'm absent sometimes, but you stole my heart along time ago and I never want it back. Much love sweetie....let's go have a Happy Meal sometime soon....

Love,
Pam (Mom 2)
