Ol' Roosters Life and Times

I made beignets for breakfast yesterday morning. While I am not a native New Orleanian, I make these delectable delights with the best of them. How good were they? They would make you "slap your Grandma" if you ate them. I don’t know where I heard that first, but that must be pretty good. I am a... Sign in to see full entry.

I did not take time to write yesterday. It was much too nice outside to be inside writing. I did not spend much time planting though. We have some cold nights coming up and I did not want to put any plants out. So I spent most of the time spading and getting the soil ready. I also added some stuff... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s finally Friday. It seemed to take a long time to come this week. I will enjoy my day. We are getting terribly busy at work. We are getting behind which is the way we usually stay. I do work plenty if I have to. Maybe that’s why this week seemed so long. I had to work more than usual. It’s 42°... Sign in to see full entry.

It was not a good night at the Rooster house. I won’t go into details, but it was not good. My niece had 18 water bottles, mostly full, in her room. I was just ranting about some excesses and such and it turned into a big fight for Mrs. Rooster and I. So it was not a good night. I won’t back down... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s Hump Day. This week is not going by fast. As a matter of fact it seems to be crawling by. I just have to take it one day at a time and do what’s necessary to make it through th week. We are so busy at work it’s amazing. We have worked stacked on top of work now. I have been going early and... Sign in to see full entry.

It was a long day yesterday. Beginning at 4 am to do my writing and ending at midnight after I picked my wife up at the airport made for a tiring day. Work was fine, but hectic. Today will be a bit tiring also, but I can catch up on my sleep tonight. Yesterday was the first day at work for all our... Sign in to see full entry.

You probably guessed it! It’s another bad, old Monday morning. I did not sleep well last night. My wife is gone on a trip. My niece slept in the wife’s bed. My brother-in-law slept on the sofa. I slept with my dogs in the computer room. Suzie, our newest dog, had never been involved in the sleeping... Sign in to see full entry.

That’s right! Everyone needs to gather round and catch some of Ol’ Rooster’s "Sunday Sermon". You can get a lot of religion at the church you attend, but if you want some good spiritual thoughts and just plain wit, wisdom and knowledge come into this blog and catch it all!! Ha Ha!! It is a glorious... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s a good footstomping. Like when a jug band begins to play and they all begin to stomp their feet to the music. I am glad it is Friday. I want a few days off. I want to have some fun at the house. I have some big plans for the weekend and I am ready to enjoy the days off. It is 63° right now. The... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s Thursday and it will be a fine day. Yesterday was great also. We had lovely weather. I stayed home with my niece, who was not feeling well. We have more great weather today. My niece, DK, is doing much better after taking her TAKS assessment test Tuesday. She just could not muster much of... Sign in to see full entry.
