It's A Beautiful Day

Yes, and the "State Fair of Texas" is in full gear.  This year greeted a new "Big Tex" because of the burn out he incurred last year.  If you remember that fateful day, when across the new media, came pictures of the famous character, in full flames.  It was a sad sight for all of us who have grown up seeing and hearing his voice each year at the "Fair".  He came back with a new look, new duds and a skin tone which was a bit deeper than before.  I considered it a tanned look, but others considered it to be favoring the Mexican origin.  It has raised a few eyebrows as well as caused a few unfavorable comments. 
The weather started the "Fair" off as usual with loud claps of thunder, high winds and heavy rains.  This has been a custom down through the years, for it to rain out the fair goers.  Today, is a nice day to travel in to Dallas and partake of the fun, food, games, events and don't forget the parades.  There are many exhibits located around the park, so go and enjoy.

Furniture

Located here in our immediate living area is one of the Ashley Furniture Stores.  Advertisements on TV are shown daily about their beautiful ashley furniture bedroom sets  along with living room and dining room furnishings.  I can only dream when I look at some of their furniture.  I have adequate furnishings in my home, but there always comes a time when you want something different or to update the present.

Once Again

The weather seems to have built in radar, when it comes to knowing the "Texas State Fair" is starting.  Every year it starts it's monsoon season down at the fair grounds.  We here in Texas don't mind the rain, because the lakes are so low.  We are thankful every time it rains, because of the extreme heat we suffer each summer.  The rain cools the heat and gives us needed water for the lakes.  The drought has hit Texas very hard in recent years, so any rain we can get is relished.

My Eye

The healing of this eye has had it's quirks.  Sometimes it's just great on focus and then I'll get this spot, which causes me to stop and close the eye then open to re-focus it.  I have done all the drops as directed and hope it is healing properly, with no problems.  I hope that mucus is causing this and will be washed away with the drops.  I don't want this surgery to be messed up.

One Week

It's been a week and 2 days since I had my first eye surgery for cataracts.  The right eye was gone and I could no longer see with it.  Now, I am blessed with sight as well as not having to wear glasses.  I've gone from an invalid to being able to see how dirt my house really is.  I've been trying to do a few things to clean it but am still overwhelmed with all the things I need to do.

Eyes

It's hard to relize that we depend entirely on our eyes as much as we do.  Yet when they start going bad or getting older, we get worried about how to correct them.  I've been waiting on Medicare to help me and kept getting run around's from them.  I admit that part of it was my own fault, but when I needed the help, they dug in their heels and drug their feet.

Prince George

Congrats to William and Kate on the birth of their new son, Prince George.  It was a day the world waited for and many were camped outside the hospital wing where Kate gave birth.  It was a good experience had by all except the Mom who went through 14 hours of labor.

Kids

Years of raising children gave me plenty of knowledge as to how rooms were to be kept.  The more simple was better, since they didn't have so much to strew around the room.  You may need to invest inkids furniture austin  to get quality in furniture for these little darlings. A clean room in the kids area, is something hard to find.  For information about this type of furniture, click on the link in this post.

News

The recent headlines gave us the array of "what now's"?  Being declared "not guilty" has made our nation become mass of protest sections.  Some are against the verdict, while others think it was just.  The two names involved in the case, has been well known for several months.  As with most media news, we the public watched and finally got tired of hearing about it on a daily basis. There isn't any good news to tell us about as yet.  Maybe the birth of a Royal" will give relief to the tiring public.

Paula

My heart goes out to Paula Dean during this time of sadness.  It really irks me that people can blow this type of thing out of proportion the way they do.  The news media is having a "hay day" with this and it's not good they way they are throwing words around.  It's not criminal to be human or to cut up and joke about things.  We are all in a glass house as long as we are alive.  Like she said, "pick up the stone and throw it".just make sure you don't hit the glass in your own window when you do.

Defense

We all need to protect ourselves from the criminal actions of late.  There's many things happening that people should be aware of ahead of time.  Having a asp baton  is considered an form of protection, which can give a possible deterrent from an attack.  This is a product that is easy to carrying and expands to give added distance between you and the approaching attacker.

WOW!


Roller Skate Coaster Ride
This is a thrill?  Well I suppose it's something that not many people think of doing.  Certainly not me, with the balancing act I'd have to pull off.  I doubt if I could hole on through the first turn.  I would probably go head first into the middle of that thing.

Yard

It's summer here in Texas ans when the heat arrives, you give one look at the lawn and wonder how long it can go without watering?  Mowing is put on hold for awhile or so you thought.  Hey, I've been lazy and putting off mowing the year for two weeks.  Made myself get all hyped up to get up and get it done this morning.  Woke up to storms moving through with plenty of rain.  That's Texas weather for ya.
