12:16 pm	PRESIDENT'S DAY HERE WE ARE AT THE MIDDLE OF FEB..WELL, ACTUALLY THAT WAS YESTERDAY SINCE THERE ARE ONLY 28 DAYS IN THIS MONTH, BUT HEY!!! WE ENJOYED A LOVELY VALENTINE'S DAY.. I AWOKE TO A CARD AND A CHOCOLATE CUP CAKE AT MY BREAKFAST SETTING..WE MADE BREAKFAST TOGETHER..WENT TO MASS AT THE RIVERSIDE WITH FATHER CHARLIE GIVING A GREAT SERMON..HE GOT SEVERAL LAUGHS WHICH HE LOVES SINCE HE IS A FRUSTRATED PERFORMER. HAD LUNCH AT THE GRILL WHERE WE DECIDED SINCE LENT IS WED THAT WE WOULD MAKE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE AND GIVE UP SOMETHING WE BOTH REALLY LOVE TO DO.. NO! NOT SEX!! WE ARE GIVING UP THE SLOT MACHINES... NOW THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SUNDAYS WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN A REPRIEVE FROM THE AUSTERITY OF OUR SACRIFICES SINCE WE WERE CHILDREN..ALSO WE MAY DO BINGO..BUT TRUTHFULLY I AM NOT A BIG BINGO BUFF EXCEPT WHEN IT IS REALLY WORTH MY WILE TO GO IF THEY HAVE BIG PAYOUTS..$250 AND UP..NOT MANY OF THOSE AROUND BHC..WE WOULD HAVE TO MOVE TO PHOENIX TO GET THE REALLY BIG MONEY..THANKS, BUT NO THANKS. SO WE ARE COMMITTED!! THE FIRST THING ONE HAS TO DO IS ANOUNCE WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO SO YOU CAN'T JUST IGNORE YOUR SACRIFICE WHEN IT GETS DIFFICULT. TO EACH OTHER, RELATIVES AND FRIENDS SHOULD DO.. AFTER LUNCH WE CAME HOME AND RESTED SO WE COULD GO TO KAREN AND GARY'S FOR VALENTINE'S DINNER..BUT THE PHONE KEPT RINGING WITH ANNIE'S SWEET VALENTINE'S CALL AND A CALL FROM DR. PAM THEN AS WE WERE LEAVING ANOTHER CALL FORM DR. J. SO WE WERE THWARTED THERE..WE WENT TO THE PARK AND HAD A BEAUTIFUL STEAK DINNER WITH SALAD, POTATOES, ZUCHINNI AND MUSHROOMS.. YUMMY!! THEN WE WENT TO BASKIN ROBBINS FOR DESSERT..WE HAVEN'T BEEN THERE FOR QUITE AWHILE BUT I HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION THAT KAREN AND GARY HAVE..ANOTHER YUMMY! WE PLAYED A GAME OF QUIDDLER.. GARY WON,THEN KAREN AND THEN DAD..I CAME IN LAST.. HMMMM.. A LOVELY DAY NONE THE LESS!! LATER DOODS Current Mood: complacent (Comment on this)

2:52 pm	SUN!!! I HAVE TO LAUGH WHILE I AM WRITING BECAUSE THREE PEOPLE ARE WRITING ON THIS BLOG AND WE ALL LIVE WITHIN 5 MILES OF EACH OTHER..HA!HA!HA! REGARDLESS I AM ENJOYING READIN THEM.. I INVITED MY SISTER,YY, TO JOIN US BUT SHE SEEMS TO THINK SHE HAS A MUNDANE LIFE AND NO ONE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN READING ABOUT IT..BUT IF SHE DID WE WOULD THEN HAVE SOMEONE FROM SAN ANTONIO TO READ..ALMOST GO INTERNATIONAL..AH WHAT!! I AGREE WITH KAREN ABOUT CHARO.. SHE IS VERY TALENTED AND HER SHOW IS GREAT EXCEPT WE SHOULD TALK TO DON LAUGHLIN ABOUT THE POOR SOUND QUALITY OF HIS THEATER EQUIPMENT.. MAYBE WE COULD GET JOHN MC. TO COME DOWN AND FIX THEM UP WITH SOME OF HIS FANTASTIC AMPLIFIERS.. WE WATCHED AND LISTENED TO THE SHOW WITH OUR HANDS OVER OUR EARS..AND WE WERE SITTING QUITE AWAYS BACK FROM THE STAGE. OUR WINTER WEATHER IS A BIT SOGGY THIS YEAR.. WE ARE EXPECTING SOME MORE RAIN TOMORROW..YUK! IDIOTONE IS WORKING ON THE DECK ROOF AT THE PARK MODEL.. WE NEVER KNEW IT LEAKED UNTIL THIS RAINY WEATHER.. THEN AGAIN HOW COULD WE.. GARY AND IDIOTONE HAVE FIXED THE ROOF WHICH LEAKED THE LAST TIME IT RAINED..BUT WE HAVE NEVER HAD ENOUGH WATER TO SEE IF THE 200 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN BEHIND OUR HOUSE WORKS.. THANK YOU LORD!! GOD'S BLESSING ON THOSE WHO READ THIS..XXXX Current Mood: calm (Comment on this)

10:01 am	WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?? OUR LIVES MUST BE REALLY BORING IF WE CAN'T FIND A THING TO SAY ABOUT THEM.. HA!HA! IDIOTONE AND I ARE HAVING A GOOD TIME WITH THE LIFE WE HAVE LEFT WHICH IDIOTONE PREDICTS TO BE IN THE 90S..I WILL BE COUGHING MY WAY INTO THE FUTURE AND IDIOTONE WILL BE SCRATCHING HIS WAY INTO THAT GREAT BEYOND UNLESS WE FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING HIS LATEST MALADY. . OUR DAYS CONSIST OF IDIOTONE ON THE COMPUTER DEALING WITH HIS STOCKS,ETC AND MY TAKING CARE OF THE HOME FRONT..ON TWO DAYS A WEEK WE BOTH GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR PULMONARY REHAB WHERE THE PINK LADIES JUST ADORE IDIOTONE BECAUSE HE STOPS AT THE FRONT DESK AND REGALES THEM WITH SOME OF HIS STORIES.. HE DOES THIS GOING IN AND AFTER AN HOUR OF EXERCISING ALSO COMING OUT..THEN WE DO LUNCH SOMEWHERE..SOMETIMES WITH FRIENDS AND OTHER TIMES WITH KAREN AND GARY..WHO ARE ALSO REALLY GOOD FRIENDS.. WE DO OUR ERRANDS, HITTING WALLY WORLD AND THE BANK, WHICH IS ALWAYS A MAJOR FUN VISIT..AND THEN HOME FOR NAPS, RESTOKING OUR FURNACES OR IS THAT FURNACI.. PREPARING TO GO OUT AFTER DINNER OR TO DINNER THEN GAMBLING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR SOMETIMES TWO.. MOSTLY LOSING.. BUT AS I KEEP REMINDING IDIOTONE WE WOULD PAY MORE THAN THAT FOR A FOUR DAY CRUISE AND THEN HAVE NOTHING TO DO BUT WATCH TV AT NIGHT..A VAST WASTELAND.. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THE CASINOES ARE A VAST WASTELAND ALSO..I COMPARE PLAYING THE SLOTS THE ADULT VERSION OF PLAYING GAMES ON THE INTERNET..WHEEEEE!!! INSTEAD OF BUYING THE EXPENSIVE GAMES FOR THE MACHINE.. WE JUST PUT OUR MONEY IN THE MACHINE.. BESIDES I HEAR THAT THIS HELPS US OLDER FOLK KEEP OUR SYNAPSES FRESH AND RUNNING..ESPECIALLY BINGO.. YOU REALLY HAVE TO HAVE YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU PLAYING THAT GAME.. I RECALL THIS ONE YOUNG LADY SITTING NEXT TO US AT A BIG BINGO (BIGGER PAYOUTS) AT THE AVI WHILE GUZZLING BEERS AND TRYING TO DAUB 6 CARDS OF SIX ON EACH CARD.. AT ONE POINT I LOOKED AT HER CARDS AND SHE HAD JUST BINGOED FOR $500 ON ONE OF THE CARDS AND JUST DIDN'T NOTICE IT..IT WAS TOO LATE FOR ME TO POINT IT OUT.. SHE WAS A WEE BIT UPSET WHEN SHE REALIZED IT.. AH! THAT'S LIFE!! WELL, WE WILL TRY TO DO SOMETHING REALLY EXCITING THIS WEEK WHICH IS HALF OVER ALREADY AND REPORT BACK TO YOU.. LET'S HEAR FROM YOU..LOVE SHIMOM YESTERDAY A 75 YEAR OLD MAN HAD SOME KIND OF MEDICAL THING GOING ON AND RAN RIGHT INTO THE FRONT DOORS OF THE EDGEWATER CASINO KILLING TWO PATRONS AND INJURING 6.. AND AS A SIDE NOTE WE HAVE A 91 YEAR OLD GUY AT REHAB THAT JUST GOT HIS NEW DRIVERS LICENSE GOOD FOR 5 YEARS..I CAN IMAGINE YOU ALL SHAKING YOUR HEADS.. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:33 am	UPDATE WELL, AS ROBIN SAID ON HER BLOG TODAY IT IS LUCAS' SURGERY DAY.. AS FAR AS THE SURGEON GOES HE IS CONFIDENT IT WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF.. IT IS SUPERFICIAL AND WILL NOT GO INTO THE BRAIN..STEADY HANDS AND COOL HEADS SHOULD PREVAIL.. AND THE FORTUNATE PART IS IT IS THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.. MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS ARE NOTORIOUSLY BAD DAYS TO HAVE SURGERY..PRAYERS EVERYONE.. IDIOTONE AND I WILL BE LEAVING ON THE 26TH FOR PAYSON SPEND THE NIGHT AND THEN TO OUR NEXT STOP WHICH WE HAVEN'T PLANNED YET.. WHERE IS KAREN WHEN YOU NEED HER.. SHE WOULD HAVE EVERYTHING PLANNED BEFORE NOW..ANYWHO, IT IS GOING TO TAKE US THREE LEISURELY DAYS DRIVING TO GET TO BRANSON AND A VISIT WITH ANNIE..OR IS IT 4.. SEE WHAT I MEAN!! WE WILL BE THERE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY WHEN WE WILL TRY TO DRIVE TO GUNBARREL CITY TO VISIT KATHY AND GANG..AND THEN BACK HOME.. HERE IN BULLHEAD CITY WE HAD 8% OF THE VOTERS TURN OUT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL ELECTIONS YESTERDAY..THREE OF THE FOUR WE VOTED FOR MADE IT..WE HAVE LUCKED OUT PRETTY MUCH WITH OUR COUNCILS SO FAR..THEY ARE RIGHT THERE ON THE JOB AND WE CAN WATCH THEM ON THE TV AS THEY WORK THRU THEIR VARIOUS MANDATES..IF YOUR CITY DOESN,T HAVE THEIR POLITICAL ENTITIES ON THE LOCAL TV FIND OUT WHY!! CALIFORNIA VOTERS DID THEIR JOB QUITE WELL BY THEIR VOTING YESTERDAY.. SENDING THE MESSAGE THAT "THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!" HUZZAH!!

2:24 pm	UPDATE FROM BULLHEAD CITY I THOUGHT I WOULD TELL YOU ABOUT A VERY NICE THING THAT HAPPENED TO IDIOTONE AND ME..WE HAD GOTTEN HOME FROM A 10 DAY TRIP TO PAYSON AND NOT WANTING TO STOP THE MAIL WE HAD A LOT IN THE MAILBOX INCLUDING A BOX FROM IRAQ.. FLASH BACK TO OCTOBER.. WE HAD BEEN EATING AT A RESTAURANT IN LAUGHLIN WHEN WE NOTICED A SOLDIER IN FATIGUES AND STARTED TO TALK TO HIM TELLING HIM HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATED HIS SERVICE AND ALL..TURNS OUT THAT THIS GUY IS FROM TEXAS ON HIS WAY BACK TO IRAQ FOR HIS SECOND TOUR WITH THE SEABEES..THE SEABEES ARE THE ONES WHO DO ALL THE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE MILITARY.. ANYHOW HE SAID HIS NAME WAS DEAN MARTINEZ.. A NAME VERY EASY TO RECALL..WE ENDED UP PAYING FOR HIS MEAL AND ASKED FOR HIS ADDRESS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO HAVE THE PAYSON GROUP WHO SENDS BOXES TO THE TROOPS SEND HIM ONE FOR HE AND HIS MEN.. FLASH FORWARD: WHEN WE GOT THIS BOX WE HAD NO IDEA WHO IT WAS FROM UNTIL WE OPENED IT AND INSIDE WAS A U.S. FLAG FOLDED INTO THE MILITARY TRIANGLE,A CERTIFICATE OF THANKS, A PIECE OF PAPER MONEY FROM THE HUSSEIN ERA AND A NOTE FROM DEAN MARTINEZ.. WE WERE TAKEN ABACK BECAUSE WE DON'T GET MANY THANKS FOR SOME OF THE CHARITABLE WORK WE DO AND THIS WAS SUCH A NICE SURPRISE..HE EXPLAINED THAT HE HAD REMEMBERED US AND HAD FLOWN THIS FLAG OVER HIS UNIT ON MEMORIAL DAY AND THEN HAD WANTED US TO HAVE IT..WHEN WE READ THIS WE BOTH HAD TEARS IN OUR EYES.. THESE MEN REALLY NEED THANKS AND NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH WE ALL APPRECIATE WHAT THEY GO THROUGH EACH AND EVERY DAY, PUTTING THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE SO THAT WE CAN DO OUR THING AND STAY SAFE.. SO WHILE YOU ARE PLAYING YOUR GAMES, DOING YOUR COMPUTER MYSPACE,ETC., GOING TO YOUR MOVIES, GOING TO YOUR JOBS AND HOPEFULLY ENJOYING YOUR LIVES THAT IF IT WASN'T FOR THESE GUYS GIVING OF THEIR TIME AND BODIES THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE ALL THE FREEDOMS THAT WE ALL ARE HAPPY TO ACCEPT AT THEIR EXPENSE.. SO EVERY TIME YOU SEE SOMEONE IN UNIFORM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE SAY A THANK YOU TO THEM AND SHAKE THEIR HAND FOR KEEPING US FREE..YOU MAY GET A SURPRISE AS NICE AS OURS.............FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!!!!!!!!!

9:50 am	KORAN SURPRISE!! KEITH ELLISON D-MINN HAS DEMANDED THAT HE AS A MUSLIM SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE THE KORAN WHEN HE TAKES THE OATH OF OFFICE TO BE A U.S. CONGRESSMAN..NO OTHER PERSON IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY HAS HAD THE GALL TO REJECT THE BIBLE WHEN HE/SHE IS TAKING THE OATH TO UPHOLD THE LAWS OF OUR COUNTRY. WE WERE ALL WAITING FOR THE "MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE". WHO KNEW HE/SHE WOULD BE A MUSLIM. FOR MORE ON THIS TURN TO AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION WEB SIGHT. DOES ANYBODY REALIZE OR IS IT BEING IGNORED THAT WE ARE BEING TAKEN OVER FROM WITHOUT AND WITHIN..AND THE USEFUL IDIOTS OF AMERICA ARE HAPPY TO GO ALONG AS LONG AS THEY GET THE LATEST PLAYSTATION.. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE OUTCRY IF WE WERE SUDDENLY NOT ABLE TO USE OUR COMPUTERS, CELL PHONES OR TELEVISIONS.AND YET THE REAL THREATS ARE IGNORED.. WAKE UP PEOPLE..WE ARE IN A PSYCOLOGICAL WAR FOR THE MINDS OF AMERICA!! NOT THINKING ABOUT IT WILL NOT MAKE IT GO AWAY....... Current Mood: aggravated (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:58 am	HELLO OUT THERE! GOOD MORNING AND GOD BLESS AMERICA! WE HAVE A SUNNY, CRISP DAY IN BULLHEAD CITY..JUST GORGEOUS.. WE HAVE NO CHANGING LEAVES, NO FALLING LEAVES JUST ROCKS AND GREEN PLANTS AND THE BEGINNINGS OF CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IDIOTONE HAS FINISHED HIS OUTDOOR LIGHTING DISPLAY IN PREPARATION FOR THE SEASON.. I HAVE DECORATED INSIDE.. THIS YEAR WE HAVE A XMAS "FICUS" INSTEAD OF THE USUAL TREE..WHEN WE BOUGHT THE NEW FURNITURE ABOUT A MONTH AGO WE DIDN'T LOOK INTO THE FUTURE AS TO WHERE THE XMAS TREE WOULD GO.. SO SINCE THERE WASN'T ANY ROOM LEFT WE HAVE A XMAS FICUS. ACTUALLY I KEEP THIS FICUS,ONE OF THREE, LIGHTED ALL YEAR.. IT IS FESTIVE AND HELPS KEEP OUR SPIRITS UP.. NOT THAT THEY NEED TO BE KEPT UP.. LIVING WITH IDIOTONE IS UPLIFTING ENOUGH..THERE ARE ALWAYS THE SOUNDS OF CONVERSATIONS IN THE HOUSE BE IT DAD READING THE LOCAL AND WORLDWIDE NEWS TO ME OR TALK RADIO BLARING OUT RUSH LIMBAUGH OR MIKE GALLAGHER.. NOT TO WORRY I CAN READ BY MYSELF BUT HE ENJOYS GETTING THE LATEST NEWS TO ME.. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING MOST OF THE FAMILY HERE FOR CHRISTMAS..AND DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY ARE ALL NOT HERE,BUT WE MUST SHARE THE FAMILY WITH SOME OF THE IN-LAWS.. IDIOTONE HAS RESERVED SOME HOTEL ROOMS AS WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM AT OUR HOUSE FOR EVERYONE.AND THAT WILL BE MORE FUN FOR OUR GUESTS SINCE THE ROOMS ARE IN THE NEWLY RENOVATED AQUARIUS HOTEL AND CASINO ACROSS THE RIVER IN NEVADA.. HOPE EVERYONE HAD A WONDERFUL TURKEY DAY AND WELCOME HOME TO HANNAH..I WOULD SAY WE MISSED YOU BUT WE HARDLY EVER SEE YOU.. P.S. WE HAVE A CHRYSLER CONCORDE AVAILABLE FOR YOU. IF YOU CARE TO ACCEPT IT..SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME AND GET IT!! HA!HA! HAPPY DAY TO JUSTIN AND HIS FINAL DAYS IN THE RETAIL WORLD. IT'S HARD MAKING MONEY OUT THERE AND SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO DO THINGS WE DON'T LIKE.. ASK ALL THE FATHERS FROM THE PAST WHO PUT UP WITH ALL THE "CRAP" AT WORK JUST TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES..THEY ARE TRUE HEROES..BUT I DIGRESS.. HAVE A HAPPY DECEMBER!!! (Comment on this)

2:14 pm	VACATION NOW THAT EVERYONE IS BACK DOING THEIR THINGS WHAT WITH SCHOOL AND WORK AND ALL GRANDPA AND I DECIDED TO TAKE A VACATION FOR OUR 53RD ANNIVERSARY.. OUR CHOICE WAS BRANSON,MO. THIS WAS OUR THIRD TIME THERE.. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE AND LOVE SHOWS,MUSIC AND VARIOUS TYPES OF ENTERTAINMENT YOU WOULD LOVE THE PLACE..PLUS WE WANTED TO VISIT WITH ANNIE AND CATCH UP ON WHAT SHE IS DOING.. AS FAR AS SHOWS GO WE SELECTED "THE ANDY WILLIAMS" SHOW WITH PETULA CLARK OF "DOWNTOWN" FAME..HE WAS GREAT AND GETTING OLD. PETULA WAS NOT GREAT AND YOUNGER THAN ANDY.. "THE JIM STAFFORD SHOW": HERE IS A VERY FUNNY TALENTED GUY..WE LOVE HIS SENSE OF HUMOR.HE PLAYS THE GUITAR, SINGS HIS OWN SONGS SUCH AS THE EVER POPULAR "I DON'T LIKE SPIDERS AND SNAKES"...AND PLAYS A MEAN HARMONICA..HE HAS BEEN TRAINING HIS TWO KIDS..GAL 9 AND BOY 13 AS PART OF HIS SHOW.. THIS IS HAPPENING WITH ALL THE SHOW FOLK AROUND BRANSON THUS INSURING THEIR RETIREMENT THROUGH THEIR OFFSPRING.. NOT A BAD PLAN.. CASE IN POINT:ANOTHER SHOW "THE DUTTON FAMILY" HAS 7 CHILDREN NOW GROWN AND PERFORMING WITH THEIR MOM AND DAD..THE OLDEST ONE GOT AWAY AND NOW SHE IS AN EXECUTIVE IN NEW YORK. SHE,THE FATHER SAYS, MAKES MORE THAN THE REST OF THE FAMILY PUT TOGETHER. WHILE THEY WERE TRAVELING IN EUROPE THEY ADOPTED 7 MORE CHILDREN AND THEY ARE GROWING UP TO DO THE GRUNT WORK AROUND THE THEATER. WE ARE NOT SURE WHETHER THERE IS ANY TALENT THERE...THEN THE GRANDCHILDREN ARE BEING GROOMED FOR THE STAGE.. INTERESTING SHOW.. THE MOTHER AND FATHER WERE RECRUITED BY THEIR KIDS TO BE ENTERTAINERS. THE MOTHER LEARNED TO PLAY THE BASS DRUM AT THE AGE OF 38 AND THE FATHER WAS AN ECONOMICS PROFESSOR.. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE PEOPLE!!! WE SAW THE BALDKNOBBERS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE THE YEAR ONE.. VERY ENTERTAINING SHOW AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE SHANGHAI CHINESE ACROBATS.. BOY! THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE DARE DEVILS..MOSTLY GALS..YOU KNOW ACROBATS AND THEIR DARING-DO..THESE KIDS WERE FANTASTIC.. BEFORE WE LEFT WE TOOK A TOUR OF THE TITANIC EXHIBIT WHERE ANNIE WORKS..THIS IS A VERY PROVOCATIVE WELL DONE EXHIBIT..I WISH WE HAD HAD MORE TIME TO LOOK.. SINCE WE WERE ON THE WAY TO THE AIRPORT WE RUSHED THRU BUT WHAT WE SAW MADE ME WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE AGAIN OR ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE HISTORY BEHIND THE SHIP. THE GUY WHO OWNS IT WAS ONE OF THE DIVERS WHO FOUND THE REMAINS OF THE SHIP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN.. AS YOU GO DOWN THE MAIN DRAG OF BRANSON YOU WILL SEE A HUGE STEAMSHIP AND AS YOU GET CLOSER IT IS ACTUALLY A HALF OF A STEAMSHIP LOOKING AS IF IT IS PLOWING THROUGH WATER..WORTH TAKING A LOOK SEE... WE LEFT SPRINGFIELD AIRPORT ON FRIDAY THE 13TH TO GO BACK TO LAS VEGAS AND WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE LITTLE LESS THAN 3 HOURS TOOK US 4 1/2 HOURS.. A STORM WAS JUST LEAVING THE LAS VEGAS AREA AND WE HAD TO BE DIVERTED AND HAD TO WAIT FOR SEVERAL BACKED UP PLANES TO LAND.. WE GOT TO THE LUXOR HOTEL AROUND 11PM..LONG DAY!!!!!! WE SAW LIZA MINELLI ON SATURDAY NIGHT.. NOW THERE IS A SHOWMAN-SHOWWOMAN-SHOWPERSON..WHATEVER.. GREAT SHOW..THE THEATER WAS HUGE AND EVERY SEAT WAS OCCUPIED..WE WERE LUCKY TO GET 7TH ROW SEATS BECAUSE THE GUY GRANDPA TALKED TO WHEN MAKING RESERVATIONS WAS REWARDING US FOR BEING MARRIED SO LONG....HER STANDING OVATIONS WERE VERY ENTHUSIASTIC.. WE THOUGHT WE WOULD SEE A PLUMP, OLD SINGER WHO WAS ON HER LAST LEGS.. FAR FROM IT.. SHE HAS LOST 28 LBS ON JENNY CRAIG AND LOOKS "MAHVELOUS DAHLING"..HER VOICE IS A LOT LIKE HER MOTHER'S (JUDY GARLAND)AND FANTASTIC RANGE..AGAIN,GREAT SHOW. NOW WE ARE HOME AND ALL SHOWED OUT..WE DON'T WRITE VERY OFTEN BUT WHEN WE DO IT IS A LITTLE LONG TO READ..LOVE Y'ALL Current Mood: content (1 Comment |Comment on this)

KAREN IS STILL OUT THERE....... AS FAR AS IDIOTONE AND I ARE CONCERNED WE ARE STILL IN THE THROES OF SETTLING HIS MOM'S ESTATE..WORD TO THE WISE, LIVE A GOOD,GODLY LIFE AND MAKE SURE YOU NEVER LEAVE ANY MONEY OR POSSESSIONS FOR PEOPLE TO PAW THROUGH, FIGHT OVER OR GENERALLY BECOME ENEMIES BECAUSE OF..THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PAIN FOR IDIOTONE (THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATE) AND ALL CONCERNED.. I AM AT THIS TIME MAKING A LIST OF WHO GETS WHAT OF MY MEAGER POSSESSIONS AND WHATEVER IS LEFT ADVISE THAT IT ALL BE SOLD AND THE PROCEEDS DIVIDED EQUALLY..THIS MAY SOUND LIKE SOUR GRAPES BUT THE GOV'T HAS MADE DIEING A VERY DIFFICULT PROPOSITION.. I CAME FROM A FAMILY THAT HAD NO WEALTH THEREFOR THE SPRINKLING OF MY PARENTS ASHES AT THE LITTLE CHURCH IN MAINE WAS A SIMPLE MATTER AND NO ONE HAD THE LONG GRIEVING PROCESS FOLLOWED BY DISBURSMENT OF THE DECEASED'S GOODS..THANKS MOM AND DAD.. SO MUCH FOR THAT..WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A CRUISE IN AUGUST TO ALASKA FOR 7 DAYS (AND NIGHTS,TOO).. KATHY,JAMES,CHRIS AND MO WILL JOIN US..IT SOUNDS LIKE FUN. TOO BAD EVERYONE ELSE IS TOO BUSY AT THAT TIME.. MAYBE ON A FUTURE TRIP...... WE ARE IN THE SAME HOT BALLOON AS JUSTIN.. BUT THIS BEATS TORNADOES,FLOODS.HURRICANES,SNOWDRIFTS,ICY STREETS AND GENERALLY REALLY BAD WEATHER.. WE HAVE HOT AND HOTTER..SO SIMPLE IN OUR WORLD.

2:39 pm	NEWS FROM THE OLDER SET GREETINGS FROM BULLHEAD CITY.. THE WEATHER IS BEGINNING TO GET WARMISH..WE HAVE ALREADY HAD A FEW 100 DEGREE DAYS..THEREFOR WE TOOK THE OLDER CHRYSLER AND HAD THE AIR CONDITIONING FIXED.. IT ONLY NEEDED FREON, THANK GOODNESS.. NOW WE CAN PARK IT BACK AT OUR RENTAL IN THE RV PARK UNTIL WE NEED IT AGAIN.. I SURE HOPE CARS DON'T HAVE FEELINGS.. SHE HAS SERVED US WELL AND WHEN WE BOUGHT THE NEW CHRYSLER VAN SHE MUST HAVE THOUGHT WE DIDN'T LIKE HER ANYMORE BECAUSE WE PARKED HER 7 MILES AWAY..FACT IS WE ALWAYS HAVE AN EXTRA CAR JUST IN CASE SOMEONE IN THE FAMILY HAS NEED OF TRANSPORTATION OR THEIR VEHICLE GOES DEFUNCT.. IT IS OUR WAY OF STILL FEELING NEEDED..HA!HA! IDIOTONE IS UP TO HIS KEESTER IN PAPER WORK FOLLOWING THE PASSING ON OF HIS BELOVED MOTHER..THIS HAS LED US TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO LEAVE ANYTHING FOR OUR FAMILY TO WORRY ABOUT.. WE WILL PROBABLY SPEND IT ALL IF WE LIVE LONG ENOUGH SO THAT NO ONE HAS TO GO THROUGH WHAT HE IS GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW..IT IS FOR THE BEST!!!! WHAT DOES EVERYONE THINK OF OUR ILLEGAL ALIENS?? I REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE REFERRED TO AS "WET-BACKS" MANY MOONS AGO..WE HAD A MINI DEMONSTRATION ON THE MAIN HWY HERE.. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON ONE OF THE SIDE STREETS AND HAD GOTTEN THEIR PERMIT FOR JUST THAT BUT THEY ENDED UP ON THE MAIN DRAG.. LATER WE HEARD THAT A GROUP OR PERSONS CAME DOWN FROM KINGMAN, THE TOWN NORTH OF BULLHEAD, AND ENCOURAGED THEM TO BREAK THE LAW.. WHAT!!! BREAK THE LAW.. THE ILLEGALS BREAK THE LAW.. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?? THEY WERE PEACEFUL EXCEPT FOR ONE DODO WHO LOBBED A GLASS BOTTLE AT ONE OF THE PASSING CARS.. DOES ANYONE FEEL THAT THEY HAVE BETTERED THEIR CAUSE BY THESE ACTIONS?? ON THE LIGHTER SIDE IDIOTONE WENT FISHING THIS MORNING AND CAUGHT HIMSELF A SALMON..I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE SALMON IN THIS AREA "ILLEGAL SALMON" ARE MAKING THERE WAY UP FROM THE BORDER NO DOUBT.. MY SISTER,PEGGY, AND I ARE HAVING A DEBATE ABOUT FATALISM.. "FATALISM: THE BELIEF THAT ALL EVENTS ARE DETERMINED BY FATE AND THUS INEVITABLE.." I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FATALIST ..SHE, ON THE OTHER HAND FEELS THAT SHE CAN CONTROL HER ENVIRONMENT AND ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO HER..MY THEORY IS FOR LAZY PEOPLE, HERS IS STRESSFUL.. ANY THOUGHTS?????????? (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:09 am	WEIRD HAPPENINS! WHAT A VERY STRANGE THING HAPPENED TO ME SATURDAY..I HAD JUST COME OUT OF THE LAUNDRY ROOM FROM PUTTING SOME CLOTHES INTO THE DRYER AND WAS GOING BY THE ISLAND COUNTER..I STOPPED TO LOOK AT SOMETHING I HAD BEEN WORKING ON-IT WAS A DESIGN I HAD PUT ON A MIRROR SQUARE . THE SQUARE LOOKED SMUDGED SO I TOOK THE SLEEVE OF MY SHIRT AND STARTED RUBBING OUT THE SPOTS.. THE POINT OF THE MIRROR HAPPENED TO TOUCH A 24X14 PIECE OF GLASS I USED FOR DECORATION..I HEARD THIS CRACKING EXPLOSION AND THAT PIECE OF GLASS JUST SHATTERED AND WENT FLYING ALL OVER THE CARPET AND INTO THE KITCHEN.THE MIRROR WAS NOT DAMAGED AT ALL.. IDIOTONE CAME RUNNING INTO THE ROOM AND JUST STOOD THERE AND STARED AS I WAS ALREADY DOING..I LOOKED AT THE BIGGEST PIECE THAT WAS LEFT AND IT LOOKED LIKE A HONEYCOMB..WHEN I PICKED IT UP IT FELL APART..THIS IS SO WEIRD.. I KNOW IT HAS A SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION.. DUE TO THE VERY DRY AIR AND MY COMING FROM A ROOM CHARGED WITH ELECTRICITY AND RUBBING THE MIRROR WITH MY SHIRT SLEEVE SET OFF A REACTION.. SCAREY!!!! THIS HAPPENED SATURDAY AND I FOUND A PIECE OF THE GLASS ON OUR COUCH THIS MORNING..IODIOTONE VACUUMED WHILE I SWEPT THE KITCHEN AT THE TIME BUT EVIDENTLY IT WENT FLYING FURTHER THAN WE THOUGHT. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF EXPLANATION OTHER THAN THE ONE I HAVE..WE HAD HAD THAT PIECE OF GLASS SINCE MOVING FROM ARLINGTON, TEXAS TO CALIF BACK IN THE 70S..

YOU MUST SEE THIS ONE.. IT IS AN EDGE OF YOUR SEAT MOVIE..IT HAD ONE F--- WORD AND NO NUDITY THAT I CAN RECALL, BUT OF COURSE I DO BLINK NOW AND THEN.. WE ARE BOTH LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR 75TH BIRTHDAYS THIS YEAR..WE JUST MAY DO SOMETHING TOGETHER IN BETWEEN OUR BIRTHDATES..IDIOTONE WANTS TO DO ALASKA.. (HE LOVES TO SEE ME CARRYING AROUND A BARF BAG..) I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN YELLOWSTONE.. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT IS STILL THERE???? IT BURNED SOME YEARS AGO AND SHOULD BE VERY GREEN BY NOW..WHEN I WAS LIVING IN MASSACHUSETTS MANY EONS AGO WE USED TO BURN OUR FRONT YARD EVERY SPRING AND THEN SIT ON THE FRONT STOOP AND WATCH THE BEAUTIFUL GREEN BLADES OF GRASS POP UP..SOMETHING TO DO WITH NITROGEN OR SOMETHING..WE NEEDED A BEAUTIFUL FRONT YARD BECAUSE WE LIVED ON THE OLD "BOSTON POST ROAD" GOING FROM SPRINGFIELD TO BOSTON AND OUR YARD WAS RIGHT THERE FOR ALL THE PASSERSBY TO SEE AND ALL THE DOGS TO USE FOR THEIR TOIDIE AND RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BOYS DORM OF AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE.. MY SISTER,PEG, AND I USED TO WORK IN THE YARD A LOT AND SAT ON THE FRONT STOOP A LOT..HEY! WE WERE TEENAGERS!!! IDIOTONE HAS HAD A FULLTIME JOB TRYING TO GET THROUGH NANA'S ESTATE, HE SPENDS A LOT OF HOURS ON HIS COMPUTER EVERY DAY..ROBIN SEEMS TO THINK THAT IS WHY HE HAS THESE PAINS IN THE BACKS OF HIS ARMS AND THE PAIN IN HIS NECK.. (NO WISECRACKS HERE!!!) I TEND TO AGREE WITH HER.. AS FAR AS THE WORLD NEWS GOES WE LISTEN AND SHAKE OUR HEADS AT THE PEOPLE WHO'S BRAINS ARE STUCK ON STUPID..THEN LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AT THE BEAUTY AROUND US AND JUST RELAX.. I SPEAK FOR MYSELF HERE ABOUT THE RELAXING PART.. YOU ALL KNOW MY "IN HOUSE" CRITIC WHO REFUSES TO RELAX................. I HOPE TO HAVE A MORE NEWSWORTHY UPDATE NEXT TIME!!

WE WILL MISS THE SHINING, ROSY-CHEEKED FACES AS THEY OPEN THEIR GIFTS FOR HOURS ON END..AND DOUBLY-BLITZED BECAUSE WE WENT OUT AND BOUGHT ALL THIS STUFF INSTEAD OF GIVING CHECKS..BAH-HUMBUG! BUT THERE IS CHEER IN ALL THIS HANDWRINGING.. IDIOTONE DID NOT HAVE A HEART ATTACK..SO WE WILL COUNT OUR BLESSINGS AND GET OUT THE EGGNOG..IT IS ON OUR NEW LIST OF THINGS TO EAT FOR THE HEART IMPAIRED..AND IT IS A WAKE UP CALL THAT WE NEED EXERCISE AND FEWER BUFFETS.. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SHARE THAT OUR "ADOPTED" DAUGHTER, THE GOOD DOCTOR, PAM PEEKE IS NOW MRS PAM PEEKE PERL..THEY CALLED FROM HAWAII WHERE THEY DID THE DEED AFTER MONTHS OF SOUL SEARCHING AND FIGHTING WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH..TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND YOU MEET WITH ALL KINDS OF RESISTANCE..MAY THEY BE BLESSED WITH HAPPINESS FOR THE REST OF THEIR DAYS... A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF US AND A SUPER NEW YEAR!! Current Mood: SOMBER/JOY (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:47 pm	GETTING CLOSER! SINCE EVERYONE IS BUSY WITH THEIR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING AND PREPARATIONS THE COAST IS CLEAR TO SLIP SOMETHING IN HERE.. WE HAD A DELIGHTFUL CALL FROM "TEXAS JANESSA" LAST NIGHT.. SHE JUST FINISHED HER FIRST SEMESTER AT COLLEGE AND HAD TO LET US ("HER FAVORITE GRANDPARENTS)KNOW THAT SHE HAD A 3.5 GPA...WHOOPEE!! WE, ME SHOPPING AND WRAPPING AND IDIOTONE DRIVING ME AROUND WHILE HE RESTED IN THE CAR FROM HAVING A MAJOR COLD, FINALLY GOT IT ALL DONE.. ANOTHER WHOOPEE! YY'S GREG GOT A WHEELCHAIR SO HE COULD MOSEY AROUND THE HOUSE..THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH TO SOME BUT BEAR WITH ME..OR IS IT "BARE" WITH ME..BUT I DIGRESS.. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO HE HAD A THREE WHEEL SCOOTER AND UNFORTUNATELY IT AND HE FELL OVER WHILE GOING TO THE MAILBOX.. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER AFTER MUCH PAIN AND GUESSES FROM THE DOCTOR AS TO WHAT WAS CAUSING THE EXCRUTIATING PAIN IN HIS LEG AND BACK, THE DOC ORDERED AN XRAY.. VOILA! A BROKEN LEG!!! WE ALL GUESS IT CAME FROM THE ACCIDENT WITH THE SCOOTER.. I NEVER DID TRUST THREE LEGGED ANYTHING.. AFTER THE OPERATION TO PIN IT TOGETHER AGAIN, HE WAS BEING CARED FOR BY MY SISTER AND NOT MAKING MUCH PROGRESS..WHAT WITH THERAPY AND HAVING TO LAY IN BED HE BECAME SOMEWHAT MORE DEPRESSED THAN USUAL SO WITH THE PROMISE OF A WHEELCHAIR AND A LAPTOP COMPUTER HE STARTED GETTING BETTER..AH, MEN! YY IS HAPPIER, GREG IS HAPPIER AND LIFE GOES ON!!! ALL HE NEEDS IS A ROBE, CROWN AND SCEPTER..DO I SOUND MEAN SPIRITED???? WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO XMAS AT THE FERRIS HOUSE AND THEN A VISIT TO THE McCORMACK HOUSE.. IN PREPARATION OF THAT IDIOTONE DROVE OUR MOVING HOME OVER FROM STORAGE AND IS NOW RESTING TO GET THE STRENGTH TO TACKLE WHATEVER IS HAPPENING WITH THE "MONSTER". IT SEEMS TO BE OKAY EXCEPT FOR THE NEED FOR AIR IN THE TIRES.. IT MAKES ME FEEL A LOT BETTER TO KNOW THAT DOLLY PARTON AND HER HUSBAND OF 40 YEARS LOVE TO RV..ONE LITTLE DIFFERENCE,THEY ALWAYS STAY IN HOTELS AT NIGHT...IT IS ALL ATTITUDE WITH MAYBE A LITTLE YOUTH THROWN IN.. THOUGHTS OF THIS BEING OUR LAST TRIP HELPS A LOT..WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT IF IDIOTONE WANTS A BOAT, THE TIOGA HAS TO GO.. NO MORE TOYS.. DOES THIS SOUND MEAN SPIRITED???? I LOVE YOU, IDIOTONE!!!!! WELL, HAPPINESS TO ALL YOU LIVE JOURNAL DEVOTEES! AND A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! READ YOU NEXT YEAR... Current Mood: ECSTATIC (1 Comment |Comment on this)
