Seems the San Antonio area set records for rainfall over night. No use crying over spilled creek beds. I turned my truck around, headed for Haby's Bakery then my comfy dry sofa. If I cannot leave town may as well have a donut! yum.It is a Haby's donut kind of day. kisses
Memories of the 1960's. Drinking from the garden hose, Playing outside till it was time for supper or it got dark-whichever came first. Box fans, heat rash, Church on Sunday and one family black & white television with 3 channels. Time passes and times sure have changed. Welcome to my world. Stories about growing up in Texas. New adventures and the struggle to remain relevant in the lives of my adult children.

May as Well Have a Donut ! Do you sleep thru storms? Apparently I sometimes do and did last night. I woke up about 5am with my morning agenda all planned out and got right to it. I finished up my planned household activities and headed for my truck. I am not completely oblivious noticing my grass was wet, driveway sorta soggy, glancing in the rearview my truck was leaving heavy mud tracks down my steeet. No worries, rain is a good thing. I cranked up the radio-that new song by Lady Antebellum, Downtown playing. Somewhere around 10 miles out Hwy 90 east bound Bexar County Sheriffs were waving all traffic to turn left or right on the overpass and from the lack of oncoming traffic must have been doing the same a few miles down. Flooded? How did I miss out on that news?

Summer Days
My brother and sister and I grew up when playing outside was great. In fact, Summer days us and the Wilkeys (they lived next door and were a constant in my life) and the current military brats living in the rent houses on our street packed a lunch, our stay at home Mom made kool-aid for everyone and put it in our school lunch thermoses, and we were off for the day on our bikes. No 10 speeds. I do not think there was even a Schwin among us although we dreamed of owning one. Usually the ride was down our street the back way over the big hump pretty much impassable to cars, down the dirt road till it played out, thru the soft sand and brush beside the Laguna to the Duncan Family Cemetary. We spent the day reading the old tombstones and when we got hungary we ate at the edge of Mr. Duncan's super green carpet grass yard in the shade of a huge oak tree. Those were the days my friend. How does the song go? Well Summer is almost here. I might just look for me a bicycle and it might just be a Schwin. Have a happy sunshine Monday. kisses
Proverbs17:17
Happy sunshine, clear blue sky, Sunday day. I was just thinking how very nice it is to have friends. Especially those ones you can just forget about social ettiquite, no worries, no tip toes around 'feelings' cause it is all good, it is all real. Upside down and backwards, most times at the very least a little sideways - that is if we are to be compared to 'conventional' society. Not that anyone would even attempt! Giggle out loud. Friendships do take some effort if we desire life long ones but I will save that story for another day. I am headed out to hang out upside down & backwards, maybe a little sideways at the very least with my super fun Sunday buddies at 90 West Bike Stop. Have a super sunshine Sunday!! kisses
