Where To Begin?

I am so far behind with my blogs I don’t know where to begin.  So, I will just tell you some things that have been happening, and after this, hopefully, I will be able to keep my blogs current.

On Wednesday, January 31st, Brian came to Alabama.  He stayed with me since everything is so hectic at Kevin and Renea’s.  On Thursday Brian and Kevin went fishing.  They had a great time and caught several large fish.  Later that afternoon Rita and Bob came to visit for the weekend.  It was great seeing them.  We had fresh caught fish for dinner and it sure tasted good.  Rita and Bob stayed in Kevin and Renea’s camper.

Friday Brian and Kevin took Bob fishing.  They had a great time, but didn’t catch any fish.  After getting back here we sat around, had a few drinks and snacks.  For supper I had made bar-b-q, slaw, macaroni salad and beans.  There wasn’t much left.  Jana took some home for her supper on Saturday night.  I also had an assortment of deserts.  And, of course, we spent the evening having a few drinks.

Brian didn’t have any drinks because he and Jana were planning to leave for Cincinnati at 4:00 in the morning.  They actually left a 3:45.  Brian wanted to get home in time to get some sleep since he had to go into work that night.  While they were travelling, Kevin took Rita and Bob for a tour of our backyard.  We then went to the Infantry Museum.  We had lunch at Burger King (Bob’s treat).  Kevin then took us for a ride around Fort Benning since neither Rita or Bob had been there.  We then headed for home.  I took everyone out for supper.  Renea didn’t get to go because she stayed with her dad who cannot be left alone.  I plan to take her out to eat – just the two of us.

 Rita and Bob left bright and early Sunday morning.  They arrived home safely.

Kevin and Bruce built a lean-to behind Kevin’s shed.  This is for Kevin to park his tractor and other equipment in so it is out of the weather. 

Kevin and Renea have a new baby – puppy that is.  She is a lab/short haired pointer.  She is chocolate brown, and absolutely adorable.  Her name is Shelby.  She is seven weeks old.  Her and Copper get along just fine.  They wrestle and play constantly.  Lola doesn’t want anything to do with her.  Kevin describes Lola as a crabby old lady.  Kevin plans to teach her to hunt with him, and to keep him company when working in the yard.

We seem to be having a lot of deer in our yards lately.  In fact, a buck rubbed his antlers against the trunk of my weeping willow in my front yard.  I sprayed the area with pruning spray.  Hopefully, the tree won’t die.

I am busy working on my genealogy.  I have found quite a few ancestors of Jim’s on his mother’s side of the family.  Not many, but I am making progress.
