Dazed and Confused

Hello,
Sis and I haven't exactly been active the past few months. Sorry about that, readers. Life seems to be getting in the way. I noticed though, that we are getting hits from around the world. India, Sweden, Jakarta, Russia, Canada...etc. Can anyone leave us a comment and tell us why? Intensely curious.
I suppose these two prairiedogs should get back to telling you our life stories, huh.
Cubedog:
Agreed, we really should get back. I was just thinking that this morning as I passed a new bit of landscaping along my route. I will get a pic first, then watch out-the blog monster will return!
On a related note; BigDog is STILL unemployed. After 9 months, his cooking is getting better and the house is actually starting to look clean. The lawn is mowed regularly and Whitedog and Blackdog are thoroughly convinced that they were born for sleeping on the couch all day...in the a/c. Whitedog is going downhill fast and now sleeps about 36 hours straight. When she does get up, she gets stuck behind doors and in corners. Bigdog is actually starting to treat Blackdog like she deserves (she's such a good dog).
Well, tata for now.
We'll be back.....

Mobil Command Unit-Nomore Primitive Camping

say hello to our little friend. No more sleeping in a tent, sweltering in the Texas summers and freezing in the winter and dry. Now we can get up and turn on the coffee pot and sit on the sofa to sip some java....sit on.the.sofa! This was a total God thing. We close tomorrow; that's 5 days from loan qualification to close-unbelievable. CMCU had been on the lot only 1 week!
BigDog will be living in it til at least April. We will be camping in style!
I like to refer to it as "Mobile Yarn Storage"

Yes, thatis a gorilla.

Last Month, BigDog went to the Fall Classic Hunting Show at the local convention center. While there, he bought raffle tickets and signed up for any and all prize drawings. We were both kinda hoping for that $21000 hunt trip, but no......this is what he won:

This is a Hustler Fast-Trac, zero-turn radius, 54" cutting deck, 21HP engine LAWN MOWER..with a custom camoflage paint job.

Needless to say..the boy is stoked:

He was giggling the whole way around the parking lot.

And of course, there had to be the "Happy Couple of Rednecks" photo op:

I have found my next home

Now for that pesky little thing called "Winning the Lotto"


Otter: OMG...perfection!!!

@BECKY.....I Know!

@Susan.....I'll be opening it up for tours shortly after closing! (heh,heh)

@Otter....And the best part is that it was built within the last 5 or so years.

Rains over the Gulf

The rains have finally come to the Gulf.
The trees danced with joy in the outflow
Then bent their backs to the onslot of moisture.
Bullfrogs, freshly emerged from deep, damp soil
Sit stoicly under the cool drops.

Summer heat

So, I couldn't stand it-I had to have a pool. Who cares if it takes over the whole patio! Bigdog strung up a triangular tarp for protection/shade (damned doves). So with the big old oak tree, the house, and the tarp, there's no way to get a sunburn-just floating and relaxing.

First: the pool:filling

next:I couldn't stand it any longer
