HO HUM...IT'S SUNDAY.

This is a brand new addition to our town. It's a big reproduction of a vintage postcard.
It's on Hwy. 285 and can be seen by folks who are entering town from the north...coming in from New Mexico. I like it.

Not much going on around this here little west texas town.
Except that our neighborhood was swarming with cops last night around 10 p.m.
They had their lights on and were slowly cruising the alley behind our house and all around the streets.
Gene wasn't home but the dogs protected me.
I was afraid some crime ridden person was going to jump out of the bushes and tell me to hide him.

Harold the cat is getting a HUGE abcess from the fight I mentioned a few blogs ago. I can tell he feels very unwell. The lump on his side is so big...I'm sure it hurts like hell and I wish it would go ahead and bust open. I was looking online for some info and it said to clip the hair from around the lump...yeah right. And then to apply a heat compress to it 4 times a day for twenty minutes to make it open up and drain...yeah right again.

I read online the other day that Kyle Texas is the 5th fastest growing city in Texas...don't know why I was surprised...but I was. Glad we got outta there!

I worked yesterday...on a SATURDAY. It was so slow and boring. Lucy was supposed to work but her son had a JV football game so I stepped in. I didn't wanna but she's working for me 2 days in Oct. when we go to COZUMEL!!
Gene, Toby, Jamey and I are going. We are very excited to show Toby the isla we love so much after telling him about it for years. It's only for 5 nights...oct. 12-17th. I'm so ready for a vacation....been working so much. We've never been there in October before.

I think Gene should stop sanding the floor....he wants to keep sanding it. It bothers him that there's still a little bit of paint on the wood. I told him it might be down in the grain of the wood and may never come out. If he had his way....it'd be perfect...which means he'd sand a hole right thru the floor! I just don't want him to lose too much of the thickness of the wood.

Radio Hotline:
For Sale:
entire dark room set up. (cool.)
Goats: $120. takes all. (just how many cabrito dinners is that?)

I read the other day that Pecos used to be a big "crossroads" in this area and that it was nothing for cowboys to ride 50 to 75 miles into town to spend their paychecks.

On that note....I'll go do some chores.

Awwwww....so cute!!!! I just filled the birdbath and now 5 little sparrows are having the time of their lives in there.
"Blue" the parakeet is walking up and down on the back fence...he wants seed.

Love, Mary
