Reunions and lunches !!

Went to a reunion of some bands and some great local song writers on Sunday ! It was great to see some old friends some that I have not seen in many years . Some of my old radio friends were there also and that was great to sit around and shoot the bull !!!The last Monday of each month we get together with radio broadcasters that we all worked with here in the city and have a good time shareing stories and good food !! Its great getting together with old friends ! Staying in touch is a good thing !! People should do it more often !! I had a great time being in radio for over 30 years and staying in one city for over 25 years without having to move around the country !! I was blessed to work with some of the most wonderful people you could ever want to be around !! We all were like family ! I am a blessed person to still get to share my life with these great people ! Be happy and smile today and show some love to others !!

crazy last few days

It has been a crazy last few days . I had to go to two funerals which is no fun ! I just dislike going to funerals because people are so sad for losing someone and that is not fun . It has been so hot here that I refuse to wear a hot suit in this kind of weather . Not meaning any disrespect to the person who died or the family . It is sad that alot of people dont see each other until there is a funeral .The funeral becomes a way to bring people back together again ! Oh well enough of that. The heat wave has drained me of my energy and you just have to stay inside to stay cool if you can . Dogs ar dieing from heat stroke . How sad ! People need to take care of there dogs and keep them cool ! I am happy camper today and am staying inside and am not going anywhere ! Be happy and show some love and kindness to someone today !

Shopping

Got up this morning and had fun with the dogs outside on the patio ! Gave all the furry babies their meds and then hit the road with list in hand to do some shopping ! The garbage disposer went out in one of our rent houses so im off to Home Depot to buy a new one . My wife is calling a plumber today to come out and install it . After Home Depot im going to HEB supermarket ! I love to go grocery shopping . It makes me so happy to be around food . You know that the best thing we can do for ourselves is to eat good food.The thought of food makes my mouth water!I can get really crazy at the food store so my wife has me on a leach of sorts to keep me under control ! I didnt realize that what I do is buy more than one item and stock up on some items that are on sale . Then before you know it we have more than the store !!I can say one thing we wont run out of mayo whan we have 15 jars in the pantry !! Oh well I can only say Im a happy man with a lot of food we can eat that I bought on sale and saved money doing it !! Im blessed to have money to do it ! Some people dont have food to eat here in the good old USA that why I also give to our local food bank each month !! If you give $50. a month that will feed a lot of poor people wh need help ! Giving is receiving you know !! Be happy smile and show the love today !!

Woke up to a real thunder buster in Houston !! I found myself with a bed full of little furry babies shaking so much that the bed was vibrating !! Had to sedate them and now they are happy campers !! The storm in the Gulf is going into Brownville and its bringing a lot of heavy duty rain here ! We need the rain though !It going to be another stay inside and enjoy the peace and watch some movies ! Its my homemade Lasagna for supper tonight !! Cooking is such a pleasure to me just like working in the garden and yard !! Planting and watching them grow puts me in touch with God and brings peace with in ! When I have peace with myself it brings beauty and happiness to me ! I love it ! I have had a great life ! I have always wanted to work on the railroad since i was a small child and i did that for 17 years ! I enjoyed going to work everyday on a train !! I also was a major market afternoon radio on air personality for 30 years !! I always wanted to be on the radio since i was a kid ! I made my dreams come true and had a great time and worked with some of rhe most wonderful people in the world !I have had a lot of fun in my life ! I have also had a lot of pain and Terrible things happen in my life but I have always refused to let it get me down for long !

You do the same today and Smile and be happy today I will !!

Rain and lots of it today !!

Rain in the forcast today . We need rain here in Houston . There is something magic about rain ! I can water the yard day after day and the grass and plants grow slowly > When it rains the grass jumps up over night a foot high !! Sat on the patio this morning with the Little furry babies and the big dogs and watched the neighbors fig tree as I drank my coffee . We have a cyclone fence and the fig tree is hanging over in my yard for my pleasure to eat those wonderful figs . I have had my eye on them for weeks waiting for them to get ripe and this morning was the time but the red birds beat me to them and then every bird in town came flying to this fig tree and picked it almost clean !!God takes care of the birds you know ! Oh well !!It was fun watching them . It part of my happy life ! I love it when it rains and we have been getting lots of heavy rain ! There is a storm in the Gulf that is bringing all this rain !! Reminds me of that old song "Stormy Weather " ! The little furry babies dont like stormy weather at all and pile up on me for protection ! I never ever feel unloved ! God has blessed me with these wonderful little babies to love me all day and night ! Salmon for dinner tonight Yum Yum !! Some movies are in my future today while it rains . Hope you have a great day rain or shine where everyou are !! Be happy and smile and show some love and kindness to someone today !

Enjoying peace and quiet !

Enjoying life is my new job since retiring ! Happiness is something you make for yourself ! I refuse to be unhappy .I enjoy my life ! Our dogs are a big part of that happiness . Working with my hands in the dirt in my yard brings great joy ! All the years of working and not stopping to smell the roses ! What I missed is enormous . The beauty around us . Stop look and listen to the beauty and it will make you a better person . My relationship with a wonderful women brings me such happiness . She makes me a better man for sure .
I have had a wonderful life doing the jobs that I always wanted to do and that is so important in life ! I enjoyed going to work and had a good attitude . That made work fun around people that were fun to work with ! You cant beat that with a stick .You can be happy and smile and show love and kindness to others too !! Have a great day !!
