Warmth

Each year around this time people are enjoying the warmth of their inside fireplaces.  I love a good fire on a cold winter evening.  It's a good thing to be able to shop from the convenience of your home at an online store for things like discount fireplace mantels at agee   to make it all special.  We have gotten spoiled from all the online stores on the web and it's so easy to find what we need at good prices.

Again

Once again the Philippines reels from devastating weather.  A typhoon hit with horrible effects proving to be fatal to many.  It is estimated that 10,000 people are believed dead in one Philippine city alone.  Bodies hung from tree branches and were scattered along sidewalks and among flattened buildings.  The  looters raided grocery stores and gas stations in search of food, fuel and water.  Picture are coming in of the scene and it's not pretty.  It will be days before the full extent of the storm's impact can be assessed.
They are right in the storm paths each time a hurricane or tropical storm decides to move through the region.  Our thoughts are with these people as they try to recover once again from this type of trauma.  Those who can are urged to help in any way possible.

Earthquake Rocks Crete

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.

Legal Matters

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.
