Infuriating Frustrations
I feel like I might owe you all an apology. I try to give you guys the real me, which is generally very positive and upbeat. However, this past week I’ve been in a “mood” and today sent me into a rage, which I tweeted some of. I’ve always tried to keep that to a minimum because you all are amazing, and the issues that are behind the scenes with cam sites are not your problem. With that said, nothing has been resolved. For whatever reason AT&T suddenly has a problem connecting to Streamate.com and it’s been going on for four weeks. The response I got was hours of frustrations…

Places to Go, People to See
Are you from Nebraska, or have you traveled through the Cornhusker state? We’re staying in and around Omaha so if you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear from you. We don’t have much time, and I do plan to go visit the elephants in Omaha, but I might never be back… so, if there’s some historical must see, I need to know! Maybe I’ll find an old abandoned barn…. to get naked in. *wink*

Trip to the Great Plains of Nebraska
Next Wednesday we’re heading up to Omaha with another couple. We’re going to go see Rod Stewart and Santana in Lincoln, and since they’re from Omaha, we’ll stay with their family. They have a sweet story. She moved to Austin for the music scene and flew home for the holiday’s a few years ago. While there, she reconnected with an old friend, and by the time her trip was coming to an end, they were madly in love. Within a month, his parents moved him down and within a few months they were married. Since they have no family in Austin, we’ve become their “Texas Parents”, and we’re nothing like…

You Can’t Fuck with Tradition!
We’ve had the traditional “Roo Song” since 2006, and well, I can’t change that. However, I think we need an elephant song to represent the zoo we will one day have. LOL. So…. do you know of an elephant song? If so, please post the link here. I’d love to have several ideas from you guys. You know, to make this a little interactive again. Once I have several songs, I’ll post another thread so we can all vote on which one should represent. Game?

What Memorial Day Means to Me…
Memorial Day isn’t the day that starts summer, nor is it the day that gives me an excuse to head to the lake to drink like a fool. Memorial Day is the one day that we, as a country, actually stop to think about our freedom. It’s the one day that, as a whole, we appreciate those who gave their lives and sacrificed their futures so that we could have one. Many never made it home while others did, but let us not forget what they ultimately gave. Their lives. I’m thankful for all soldiers, nurses, families and lives from past and present wars and those who pick up the…

Lefty! It’s your Day! A Good Reason to Celebrate!
WOOT! I’ve been counting down the days to Lefty’s birthday and it’s finally here! Happy, happy birthday Lefty! You have amazing spirit and you’re always smiling. I love that about you! You’ve just really brightened our group and I hope you have a wonderful day! Don’t forget we’re raising our glasses to Lefty tonight. I’ll be online around 9p EST and it’ll be a drinking night, so bring the booze! If you’re not a drinker, no problem! Come anyway. It’ll be fun to exploit his birthday.

Nelson’s Pot
Nelson pretty much did whatever it is Nelson wanted to do. However, he never jumped on the kitchen counters, drank from the toilet, knocked over glass objects out of spite, or climbed all of the book shelves. He claimed one shelf on my bookcase, which never varied, and one pot in the garden. It was his. This was known. It didn’t matter if there were plants in it, each spring he’d reclaim it. I learned to just give him a fresh dirt bed and he was happy. The Monsters have taken over the house, but the garden they’ve pretty much left alone. *knock on wood* All except one pot, which…

Red Sky in the Morning Shepherds Warning…
…Red Sky at Night Shepherds Delight. The other night while I was on cam WLTNBN mentioned this…. it was news to me, so I had to look it up… I found answers! If the sky is red in the morning, it means there will be bad weather during the day. However, if it’s red at night, the weather will be nice through the night… that makes no sense to me. So, I “researched” further. In other words, I clicked on another link to give me more answers. LOL. Apparently, this has been a saying as long as man as been speaking. (I did a copy/paste from Yahoo Answers) Two…

Four and a Half Inches
Boy, we finally got a good soaking of rain! The first night of storms was severe. We were in the very center of each storm wave, so we managed to get more than most. Along with those first 4″ we had thunder, lightning and wind. It was a welcome relief, even with the wind and thunder. It rained through the next morning, but then tapered off until the next night. I thought it was going to be a replay of the night before, but it was scattered storms, leaving us with another 1/2 of an inch. My plants and our trees are loving this weather! What’s strange is it drastically…

Pictures from My World
You guys always hear me talking about doing yard work, the field, our slopes and my gardens, but I’ve never shared pictures with you. So, I decided it’s time I change that! It’s a work in progress, and the garden isn’t near what I hope it to be this summer, but it’s still worth sharing…
