This & That

COW POOP
Aunt Theresa was taken to the hospital but should be back in the nursing home in a couple of days to continue her rehab, so she can return to her apartment.
We have been blessed with a mild November so far.  Please send any family news to me so I can share it with the kinfolk.

November in Arkansas
Tommy sent this to me a couple of days ago---fog over the lake---a view from his house.  Really like this one.






And the fog has lifted a short while later.







*****************************************
A teaser of pictures to come!
Billy and Carol flew down south to visit Tommy and Judy on November 6.  Tommy e-mailed me this photo and more are to come via snail mail on a cd.  I will be posting them very soon.
Chef Billy making his homemade spaghetti sauce for everyone.  It looks like his back is bothering him---hope it's better, Billy.
Stay tuned for more photos.
 ***************
PI  MAN continues brewing. 

Two gallons of stout.

Bottling the stout with loyal "Carlie" at his feet.  Good thing Pi Man still runs daily---I will be keeping a sharp eye out for beer build up around the middle.

Once again BARRY to the rescue.
A couple of weeks ago Barry came over to help put our generator in place and hook up the gas.  Nancy and I visited and she ran outside, snapping action photos from time to time.

Operator in chief!

Easy does it!

















Nancy checks out my few Thanksgiving decorations.

Nancy came upon this (yellow) dog while walking her dog.  He was resting in the grass and looked tired and confused.  She got a leash and brought him back to their fenced-in yard---much to the dismay of "Bruiser!"
The dog had a tag on its collar and that just happened to be the vet that Nancy & Barry take their pets to.  She called the vet and was given the owner's name.  "Shiloh" had wandered quite a way from his home and the owner was thrilled to get his dog back.  A happy ending!

BLAST FROM THE PAST:
The "Rockettes" in Autumn.

Thanks to all who sent in comments on "respecting" the turkey.  You can read them in the comment section of the previous post.
Have a great week!

  1. rocket[rok-it] noun

    1. any of various simple or complex tubelike devices containing combustibles that, on being ignited, liberate gases whose action propels the tube through the air: used for pyrotechnic effect, signaling, carrying a lifeline, hurling explosives at an enemy, putting a space vehicle into orbit, etc.

    (We all know the family is known to "liberate gases" but being a ROCKETTE seems much more lady-like than being a rocket. Please don't hurl any "explosives" at me for pointing this out)

  2. Funny picture of Billy in T&J's kitchen. And I'm really excited about this stout - St. Patrick's Irish Stout to be exact - and it should be ready for tasting in about 3 more weeks. I'm less excited about the circumference of my midsection. 8^) And way to go Nancy - help rescue that dog! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Good job with the post, Cindy.

  4. Lacey, I added the "e"---my mistake. Actually, I like the first definition better:) I hope no one else gets "wind" of my error!
