The Midnight Hour!

The reason that I didn't blog last night was because there really wasn't much to tell and also because I wanted to re-watch Lonesome Dove with Tony. We love that movie so much, that we traditionally watch it on every New Year's Eve, but we didn't watch it this past New Year's Eve, because our good friends Leisa and Rick were up here, from Port Aransas, to celebrate bringing in 2011 with us. In fact, it was one of our best New Year's Eve ever, even though none of us made it to the midnight hour.

Today has been a nice and quiet day, too. Kinky called me, real early this morning, but unfortunately for me, I missed his phone call because I was in Outer Space drinking some coffee and listening to my iPod play my favorite music, until T. returned back home, from drinking coffee with the old timers, at The Old Timer, in Medina.

After we ate breakfast I walked another four miles with Leslie and then I spent most of my morning doing some paperwork and returning a few phone calls before fixing our lunch—peanut butter & (strawberry) jelly sandwiches and Cousin Nancy's Lentil Soup. "Nance, the lentil soup was delicious," Tone commented, as he put his dirty dishes into the kitchen sink for me to wash.

This afternoon when I heard the news about the Los Alamos wildfire, in New Mexico, I got on my laptop to check it out and to see how far away it was from Cindy's ranch. Then I called her to make sure that she was safe. After Cindy had reassured me that she was fine and had told me about "monsoon season" starting, where it rains every evening and about the thunder shower predicted for tonight—we caught up with each others news. And that's about it for now.

Y'all have a great evening and please keep praying for rain for us!
