TEXAS LIVING!

WOW! 2008 sure slipped by! Just where in the heck did it go? It seems to be true that the older you get, the faster the years go by. Hard to believe I will be 60 this year – but the good news? Donna will still be older than me. Grandson Connor had a sleep-over with me last night while his folks went out for New Year’s dinner. After dinner we ate Oreo cookies with chocolate milk. He would twist ‘em apart, and keep the side with filling and I’d get the left-over’s. This morning he mixed the batter for his Mickey Mouse pancake and he ran the blender for me when I made a Dutch Baby for Wade & Michelle. Last night and this morning he wanted to wear his Captain Rex (Star Wars) costume and have light saber battles. Too much fun! His dad also sent me a photo today of him riding his new Star Wars bike from Santa, all by himself. What else? Oh yea, my original deposit for our Smart Car purchase finally showed up. I guess that idea is now dead! And while Donna has been gone, I have found some new entertainment! For you reality TV fans, there is a blog site here in Collin County called The Real Housewives of Collin County. http://www.therealhousewivesofcollincounty.com/ The blog is pretty specific and has four contributors: Holly, Lulu, Sabrina and Stella. Today’s Dallas Morning News had a big spread on their blog site, titled, “Real Housewives of Collin County shop, shock and mock suburbia”. You can copy and paste the following link in your browser if the link doesn’t open the article. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/DN-housewives_01met.ART0.State.Edition2.4a5e560.html The site is definitely ‘R’ rated! NOTHING is sacred! I’m working with our home warranty program to get the dishwasher repaired. Their latest offer is to give us the equivalent amount in cash and we can buy a new one! Of course that is what Donna favors! . . . . . . Well! Back to football!
