December 12

Well well well.  Hello and nice to be back.  A lot of things have happened since I last wrote, but it is so much that I can't remember all of it. 

We are going to Ruidoso for Christmas and Gabriel and Carrie and the kids will meet us.  Mary Ann and Melissa and Ramsey are going to Germany to see Alex and his family.  I wish Patrick and his family was joining us in Ruidoso, maybe next year. 

One of Chris' buddies on Aggie Yell passed away today from prostate cancer and it makes him very sad.  He didn't have the same kind of treatment that Chris had and we both feel if he had he would have survived.  But maybe the study Chris was in will prove that is the way to treat that type of cancer and save lives.  I hope so. 

The house in Ruidoso is just almost finished and will be ready for Christmas.  It has been a long year of work, but worth all of it.  We are hoping to spend more and more time there.

I will have a LOT more news tomorrow.  Just wait and see.  Hehe.

October 25

Carol and Cindy came for a visit last week and we shopped, ate, and yakked it up.  We went to my Bible study together and it was good they went with me.  I'm sad one of the girls', Lisa Fales, Dad died the next day.  She had just ask us to pray for her Mom who needs a knee replacement, but then her Dad passed unexpectedly.  It is always so hard when that happens.  That's why we always have to be ready and love the people in our lives as if it will be our last day together.  Because we never know the time or place, do we? 

Chris is going to work at the AT&T gold tourney today and tomorrow.  He's such a hard working man.  And makes so much money doing it too!  Not.

The Rangers are going to the World Series, yeah!  We will miss the first game because we are going to the Spurs game.  First things first. 

Go Spurs Go!

October 16

We went to Cindy and Lee's yesterday.  Chris wanted to go fishing.  Well so did I.  And we wanted to pick up the fish, Jackson's and Chris's.  They look great.  So we just took off and got there about 4, went fishing, and then had steak and lobster.  Those Magees really know how to do it, don't they?  To bed, and back fishing this morning.  After lunch, Chris wanted to get one more meal, we headed back to San Antonio and here we are!!

Chris recorded the A & M game although we had listened to it and it was not pretty.  But he wanted to see it anyway just to see what happened to them.  Anyway, they lost again.  But the Rangers won so that is good.

Carol is in Austin and she is coming over tomorrow.  Yeah!!  We will play a little Mahjong, do a little shopping, you know, just the usual.  Mary Ann should be coming home Monday.  I hope she is doing well.

I'm thinking that Patrick and Stephanie and the kids are going to be moving soon.  I am praying they are all well and that I will see them soon. 

Got tickets to the Spurs game here against Oklahoma Monday, I hope Carol wants to go.  If not, Chris will go with a buddy.  Oh well, we'll see.  Kevin Durant would be fun to watch though.  

Gotta catch up on Judge Judy.  So, until later.

October 13

We got to witness a miracle today when they rescued all 33 miners in Chile.  They were trapped for 69 days and all are free and well.

October 12

Bought rugs today for the loft, upstairs bedroom, and kitchen.  Need one for the den but can't get in there to measure.  Also ordered blinds for the upstairs and kitchen.  We're getting there and it is getting expensive.  But it will be very nice and I can't wait to get it finished and put together.

Mary Ann is in Reno and didn't do too well in her first tourney but tomorrow is another day.  Hopefully she will have good luck.


Labron hurt his precious leg tonight in a game and DeWayne has some kind of hurtishness going on too.  Awwww.  The Spurs are in Mexico City and playing the Clippers.   The Clippers were ahead by twenty and the Spurs just tied it up in the forth quarter.  So I'll let you know who wins before I go to bed.  GO SPURS GO!!

Well we were down by two and 1.5 seconds left.  Pop let Manu call the play and he got everybody all fired up and they make the 3 pt and we won 100 to 99.  I love Manu!!

October 11

We made it home from Ruidoso and I'm soooo tired.  Chris is too, he did all the driving.  So we are going to bed and one of us will get up to get Mary Ann to the airport by 6:15.  She's going to Reno to play poker.  Hope she does well.  And we are still excited Gabriel got an elk!! 

Miss Lady is coming tomorrow thank goodness and I am a week behind on my bible study so I'll have to catch up before Wednesday and it's my day to bring refreshments.  I wish I was down for the next week, but it's ok, I can always go to Cosco and buy some quiche and yes I will admit I didn't make it.  It is BIBLE STUDY after all.  So, got that going on.

And by the way, after not having my phone charger since Thursday, and today is Monday, I had a total of three messages.  All from Chris.  I'm not very popular.  Pitiful. 

October 9

I have been having a very miserable time up here in Ruidoso with no phone and being locked in the house.  I started to email Carrie to call Gabriel to tell Chris of my dilemma but Mary Ann was all twitting about it and she called him and he said he was on his way home.  I have been outside twice today, and it is not fun, but neither is it fun sitting here at this computer playing hearts and poker all day sitting at the kitchen table on a hard chair.  It's either that or lay down on the bed.  Lots of fun.  The front room is still walled up.  The upstairs is a mess.

So, about 9 this morning I realized the workers weren't coming...I didn't know it was SATURDAY!!!!!
But Mary Ann emailed me and said Chris said the key was in the console..so I climbed BACK out and went to look again and lo and behold there is was!  I thought he meant it was on the car key thingy, which WAS in the console but there was no key on it.  But there way in the back of the console stuffed in all his junk that he hoards (he would be a hoarder if I let him) was the key.  Anybody could have missed it.  You cannot imagine the pure JOY when I found that key. 

So I had gotten the doors unlocked about 30 minutes before he got home so he doesn't think I'm totally brain dead, but almost.  And he went and got the key out of Sam's ("easily" he said) (but I think not, if anything I had loosened it up for him) and got the door opened under the house which has a key in there (and I knew that) but it was so stuck I couldn't get it opened.  I must have loosened that up for him too.  Although I did think about getting one of the workers big giant tools and bashing it in.  But that would have meant crawling back in and crawling back out.  So anyway all's well that ends well.  And I don't have to sleep with that gigantic knife tonight.  But he is kinda looking at me with a little bit of pity.  I'm not sure if he feels sorry for me or thinks I'm an idiot.  I'm hoping he feels sorry for me.

The Spurs lost Thurs nite to Houston!!!  So tonight they are playing Miami Heat in SA!  GO! SPURS! GO!
