Here is the thing.  I got a new laptop from the pawn shop it is an HP special edition entertainment PC.  I love it.  It has vista and I am learning how to use it.  I like it so far.  If you dont give a crap about  my computer woes scroll on down for more news.

I have 2 major complaints about the new puter.

#1.  When watching a video it will not full screen the video - this sucks.

#2.  I can not visit many of my spaces friends.  this sucks MORE!

It gives me this page.

None of this worked.  Stephen suggested that I download Mozilla and try that.  I remember that worked in the past when MSN decided I was not worthy.  Not so lucky this time.  Y'all are such a big part of the internet for me that this is a HUGE bummer.

The other news in my wonderful little world is my goat girl was bitten by a snake yesterday.  Her throat was swelling at an alarming rate.  Russ just happened to notice the swelling when he fed them last night.  We called the vet, he made a farm call.  Her put her to sleep and shaved her neck.  drew blood, gave an anti -venom  and a shot of penicillin.  I am to give additional shots of penicillin for three days.   She is much better today.   Oh yea, the cost was 253.00 !!!  She was already have difficulty breathing.  She probably would not have made it through the night if we hadn't sprung into action.

I dont have a goat picture on this computer yet.  If you dont know Thelma Lou you can find her in my photos.

I am having a sterling silver extravaganza on ebay.  Try "sterling silver u choose".  They end on sunday though.

I hope I can get this worked out and be back soon.  If not, this thing is a BOAT ANCHOR!

My mother passed away on June 21 four years ago.

Things my mother said to me.

You have done so much for me.
You are very hard working.
I can’t let you totally enjoy yourself.
You have beautiful legs
You have beautiful hair
Call the mechanic, I’ll pay for it.
You have to use a lil’ salt to make the sugar sweet.
No laughing, no smoking, no eating in my car
Why don’t you apologize to your sister.
I don’t know why you act the way you do.
They are not going to want you.
He’s not going to marry you.

I tried to think of 12 things my mother said to me that I would never forget.  They may not all be pretty but, there they are.

Summer is in full swing here in Georgia.  .  The days are a steamy 90* everyday.  The pool is up and running. We go swimming every night. 

The garden is booming. 

We have zucchini 

yellow crook neck squash.

cucumber

jalapeno peppers

bell peppers

tomatoes

and

corn.

Russ built the arbor while I was in Pensacola last month.

Here is my dog,  Gracie next to a squash plant.

Russ and his brother went to the "Palace" in florida last weekend.  They laid the new floors all the way through it ~  WHOO HOO!  It makes all the difference.

The Family reunion is next month and I will be staying there for the first time.  It is is in the middle of the Florida scrub in alligator country.  There are snakes and the biggest spiders you have ever seen. 

Oh yeah. remember I had all of that Red Wings crap.  It sold like crazy.  I don't have anything listed right now.  maybe soon.

Well, I am out of pictures so, I'll close for now.

There is nothing new to write about so, lets just look at some more pics.

This was our housekeeper's cart in Pensacola.  I spy a bottle of Gin. GASP!  She doesn't even try to hide it.  haha

This is a dead crab at the beach.

This is a whale (me) at the beach.

If you live in the good ole U.S. and enjoy your freedom, thank a vet.

Remember some gave all.
