MADE IN USA!

This past week has been great and I apologize for not posting anything since last Wednesday, because I've been so traumatized after having my two close encounters with an "Iguana" and a "Unicorn Grasshopper or Alien." And thankfully, I am now fully recovered from those two hair-raising events, because of your helpful comments and because we've been pretty busy out here and over at our new place—just down the road.

Last Thursday Tony and I went to Habitat for Humanity, in Ingram, with Sam & Stacie and we got a great bargain on three, double-paned windows, for our cabin in the woods.

Friday afternoon we ate lunch with our good friend, Eileen and later in the evening, Tony and I went up to the Medina Highpoint Resort's Koyote Grill to eat their delicious All-You-Can-Eat Catfish Buffet. And to meet up with our good friends: Bethany, Carol and Fourth, so we could all sit, out on Koyote's patio, to listen to David Wayne & Doc's great music.

Saturday was our rescue ranch open house and we had several people come out to take tours of our rescue ranch and to visit. And I spent the most part of our evening writing.

Sunday was really exciting for me, because after doing over a years worth of research on the best composting toilets, I finally purchased the 2017 top-rated— Nature's Head composting toilet MADE IN USA, with just One-Click, with my Amazon Prime. And I was so thrilled about it I hardly slept a wink that night.

Monday morning, because I was so tired or because Roy has loose lips—Big Al(ice) tried to commit suicide, in our kitchen. Right after I had given Roy his pain pill he accidentally dropped it and it fell on the floor. And in a split second, before I could pick it up—Big Al swallowed it.

I was completely horrified that Big Al ate the pill and I wanted to half-holler, "Tony!" but I couldn't because he was working, over at our new place.

Knowing that time was of the essence, I picked up "Alice in wonderland" or soon to be "Alice in la-la-land" in my arms and then I race-skipped outside and we took off to go find Tony, in JJ Cale (our new/used 2012 GMC pickup).

Even though I felt like I was the famous race car driver, Carroll Shelby, I was only driving 35 mph and in just a few minutes when I saw Tony working, "I lowered the window, and half-hollered, "Tony! Alice is a drug addict! And she just overdosed, trying to commit suicide, using Roy's pain pills!"

I was obviously still in shock, because I was still wearing my pajamas, my heart was pounding and I wasn't even wearing my white cap, which of course, proves that I was in shock. Anyway, Tony grabbed our suicidal, little, drug-addicted dog and they took off for Hoegemeyers and I took off to come back home.

As soon as I race-skipped, back inside The Cabin, I called Kathy, at Hoegemeyer Animal Clinic, to alert her that Tony was on his way there with our wayward, drug-addict Chihuahua. Then I took a shower and dressed and tried to calm down. Bottom   Line: Big Al(ice) was fine after all. She is not a drug-addict thank goodness. And the only reason why she did it was to get more attention from us. But we've grounded her for six weeks.

Yesterday afternoon, our good friend Anna Oakley, from Terlingua, came to visit us and to spend the night, with her sweet dog Tubo. We showed her our new place and she loved it and then we came home. But before I cooked us dinner we went over to visit with Kinky, at the Lodge.

We didn't get to stay very long, because Kinky was taking a short break, from recording his new, upcoming CD, that our friend Brian Molnar is producing.

Anyway, we loved seeing Anna and we had a wonderful visit with her, before she and Tubo left this morning. And here's a cute picture that Anna took last night, of Little Debbie, sitting on top of our kitchen table. An example why Big Al(ice) wants and needs to get more attention from us.

And to finish tonight's post, on a good note, our Nature's Head composting toilet arrived this afternoon and Tony and I are on Cloud 9 about it, because we absolutely love it almost as much as we love our Big Al. (Sorry, for Alice's sake I felt like I had say that, so she'll feel more important.)

Y'all have a great evening and keep on laughing!

P.S. We really are busy working on our new place. I am also doing a lot of writing, so please be patient with me and my "daily" blog. I will try to write more often than once a week—I promise.
