Looks like I need to get out to clean some garden spaces; the Naked Ladies (Spider Lilies) are coming up already! They've come up right through the snow and ice. They don't usually start showing up until latter April.
The last 2 days have been pretty nice but there's still a chill in the air. It's been in the lower 50's; tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer them the temps will plummet yet again and expecting a small amount of snow.
Papa is out working on our pickup. He went out to change the oil and found the carburetor was loose in 3 different places. Whoopi! Always something!! That probably why I've had trouble starting it last couple of months; it's sucking air. He'll get it fixed okay but his chest will hurt him for a few days from leaning over into the engine compartment. And he has a van, of a friends, to work on tomorrow.
Our son called a little while ago and I spoke with him. He's been in Oklahoma for the last month and will be home only until Tuesday and will head to Houston, I believe. He'll probably be there for a month, too. He's an apprentice for an electric company. He's hoping that when he gets through his apprenticeship he'll be able to find a job locally. It's been especially hard hard on his youngest son (5). He called his Daddy a couple of nights ago and begged him "to please come home." That is so hard on him but he's doing what's necessary to earn a living and be able to stay at home later.
I tried to call our granddaughter today. She's moving to Georgia April 6th. and I was unable to reach her. The phone has already been disconnected. I'll try to find another way to get ahold of her. Her husband is taking Special Forces training in the Army right now. Until she can join him she and the 2 children will live with her parents and she'll work for her Dad detailing cars. That will give her some extra money to work with.
Just got back from O'Rielly's; had to get another air filter for the truck. Still would like to replace the rotor, etc. But that will wait until a little later; it will be another $45 or $50. Replace that and another exhaust system and that old (1985 Ford LTD pickup) will be in tip-top shape!
I've been off my weight-loss program the last 2 days; been sleeping too late (staying up too late at night watching movies). When I don't stay on schedule I really mess up. Started out right today. And I feel better! Every time I eat the same things Allen does I start feeling terrible. I wonder just how many times I need to go through that before it hits me? Stay away from Allen's food!!!!
It's getting time for me to thaw out some chicken breasts for my dinner. Hope you had a good day and have a wonderful evening. Until next time:
Much Love, Junie & Papa Allen
