Thanks, Kat!

When I really feel like a trip down my ancient C&W memories, I pull out my Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb and Roy Acuff music.

A Serenade At The Villa.....what a beautiful post Ms. Feather!

[HiJinx]

Oh....nevermind...

Although, for the customer across post, that there enema thingy sounds like just the ticket...

[Lady Jag]

I wasn't there to see what happened

It was pretty weird. I think some people were in a bad way and wanted to take it out on someone and I came along.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Nope I finally got a day without rain and decided to some yard work and then I took a nap!

Just woke up!
~chuckle~

I have to put a load of laundry in the wash now!

[HKMk23]

By the Twelve Ragged Apostles!

Last time I heard Tom T. Hall, Tanya Tucker was wishin' she was a teddy bear and sharing the C&W charts with C. W. McCall; something about "Wolf Creek Pass", I believe.

That's a passel o' dendrites that hain't been activated in quite some time.

[luvie]

A nap! Man that sounds wonderful! I only had to work till 3pm, but when I got home, my MIL had gotten here. I knew she was coming--I had just kinda forgotten about it. So, a nap was not to be today! *sigh*

But, I'm off tomorrow again and might just sneak back to the bedroom for at least a short one then.

And you had a day without rain--will wonders never cease!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL.

Early this morning I was still uncertain which way the weather would turn and a few clouds moved in,but now it is all sunny again!

I really had enough if the rain!

[luvie]

Well, if there was a way to export it to West Texas, we would take it! Our grass is looking just great and I would like for it to continue to--even though hubby HATES mowing! LOL!

Sunshine is a good thing!

[luvie]

TC! (((((hugs))))) and prayers your way!

Bob Wills ~ South of the Border

[luvie]

Ick! Where were you when you did that? I live in town and have never seen a rattler here--a few horny toads and skink lizards, but no snakes!

[AZamericonnie]

Oh look.....a chicken!:) Are they the clu clucks clan? lol

[luvie]

Hi, Connie! How're things out there in the heat of AZ?

[bannie]

Belton. EEK! was right! There were also scorpions everywhere.

We used to have horney toads here in the central valley of California. I miss those little buggers.

[Lady Jag]

I think it was Chicago. Maybe it was tomkow! Years ago, a couple decades, they had a criminal they called The Enema Bandit. A young man was breaking into women's dorms and forcing them to have enemas. Nothing else. I don't know if they ever caught him.
