One of the first lessons I learned as a new manager is incorporated in that quote about “Pleasing some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people, blah, blah....”. As I had been raised to be such a pleaser, I learned fast and hard how quickly employees can eat you alive! LOL! We’ve... Sign in to see full entry.

FOO FIGHTERS, FUDGE AND PASS THE AMMO
I'm taking a break in my frenzied efforts to get ready do all the things I've put off to the last minute before I leave for Weatherford....and the Christmas celebration..... tomorrow. Of course, before I am actually on the road to Weatherford, I will swing by Marble Falls to see Mama at Gateway. I... Sign in to see full entry.

I HAVEN'T SENT THIS LETTER TO HIS SISTER YET...STILL THINKING...
Hi, Joann, I don’t know if you remember me…Maiden Name; we were at Name of Dorm together for awhile, and during the summer in Brownfield did some running around. I have fond memories of your mom and what a fun lady she was. I smiled when I read your comments about making quilts because I recall your... Sign in to see full entry.

DRIVING TO WEATHERFORD
I left last Wednesday and drove to Weatherford, a town of 25,000 that is outside of Fort Worth. Weatherford is where Larry Hagman grew up, as did his mother, Mary Martin (if you know who she was)…..it’s also the town where my mother grew up but after her parents left there shortly after she married,...

AN AFTERNOON AND NIGHT OUT OF THE HOUSE
I’m a homebody by nature, so I am prone to spend days at a time without going out even once….and then, all of a sudden, I want to get out. Yesterday was the day. First, I had to go to the Post Office to send off a package and then I was off with no particular objective other than to eat….for I was... Sign in to see full entry.

WANT TO FEEL INTELLECTUALLY BRILLIANT...READ THIS FUNNY
This is a funny FB post of an old email that quoted excerpts from a very funny book. If I hadn't personally taken thousands of statements from people in my life I wouldn't believe many of these....but I have, and so I do. I can't tell you the number of times I've had to hit bite a pencil to keep... Sign in to see full entry.

TUESDAY EVENING...SUNDOWN MUSINGS...CHANGING COLORS
I’m sitting out on the patio at 7pm, enjoying what is probably one of the few remaining evenings I’ll be able to sit out here in shirt sleeves, watching the sunset. I just finished sweeping all the debris from the weekend’s rainstorm. Wow! It was such a mess….those hard bean-like things from the... Sign in to see full entry.

MONDAY...ON ICE, HANGING PICTURES AND WATCHING BIRD FIGHTS
It is 75 perfect Fahrenheit degrees outside….but I am stuck on an ice bag inside. The ice bag is on the bursitis in my right hip and my right knee. It seems that now that I have developed this irritating condition….it is chronic….and I didn’t wait long enough since the initial onset for which I got... Sign in to see full entry.

SATURDAY...RAINING, MAIL, INTERNATIONAL SEEDS AND CUTE WORD
This is the first time all day it hasn't been raining and I am soooo irritated with myself because, looking out at the soaked patio, I realized it never occured to me to drape some plastic over my stack of wood by the chiminea.....and it is going to take foooooooorever for it to dry out! And the... Sign in to see full entry.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON AT 4 O'CLOCK
There's a joke that's common in Texas and Oklahoma, both....if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute and it will change! Today is one of those days. I believe I am now in my third cycle of wonderful down-pouring rain....and then blue skies, "nothing but blue skies....", yes, ones that make... Sign in to see full entry.
