One Strange Rock! or On Demand!

Last Sunday afternoon, I went over to see Carol. I thought we were going to visit and then watch one of my all-time favorite movies—The Electric Horseman. The 1979 movie starring Robert Redford, Jane Fonda, Willie Nelson, Valerie Perrine and Wilford Brimley.

After we caught up with each others news, I handed Carol my movie, so we could watch it, because Carol had never seen this fun movie, but I was wrong. When I told her that she was going to love watching this movie, she said, "I've seen it and I love that movie. In fact, I watched it again just a few months ago..."

And after I told her that I thought she had told me that she had never seen it, we had a good laugh about it and then we went back outside to sit on her deck, so we could enjoy the beautiful weather. Bottom   Line: When I got back home I watched The Electric Horseman by myself— if you don't count Little Debbie, Roy, Beau, Henry and Big Al(ice).

Monday was a great day, too. Or at least it was until around 5:00 that evening. But that is another story that I do not wish to talk about, in hopes that I will forget about what had happened in Kerrville.

So that evening, to help get me out of my funk I watched The Highwaymen, on Netflix—starring Kevin Costner, Woody Harrelson and Kathy Bates. Then I stayed up until 1:00 writing on my third novella.

Yesterday was a great day—thank goodness. I spent my morning writing and then Tony and I spent a few hours doing some yard work.

After lunch we went to Kerrville and ran a few errands. Bottom   Line: We returned home with clean clothes and laundry and some much needed groceries. And last night I decided to watch National Geographic's One Strange Rock: The Story of Earth, hosted by Will Smith.

I was hooked after watching the first episode of One Strange Rock, so I stayed up late again, and watched two more episodes of this amazing series, on Netflix. Then I stayed up for another hour and wrote some more.

Today has been another great day even though this morning our little, cheap, plastic, water dispenser started leaking, in the big room, so Tony carried it outside and put it to rest in the trash can.

But the good news about this is Tony went into the barn and returned with our old, reliable GE Profile electric water dispenser that we had used in our trailer, before we moved over here.

We had loved this hot/cold water dispenser that has a small refrigerator, at the bottom, to store cold beverages, but I guess when we were moving over here we must have stuffed it inside the barn and had forgotten about it.

Anyway, Tony and I cleaned it from top to bottom, out on the front porch and then we put it, next to my desk, where the broken, plastic water dispenser had served us. And I am more than thrilled that Tony found our water dispenser, because now we can enjoy having icy, cold water on demand, again. So knock-on-wood—life is good.

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

The Letter!

Yesterday, we received this letter from a dog that we rescued back in August! Our friends, PawMatch, adopted her out for us, in Austin! The Letter made our day!

P.S. Kinky will be on MSNBC tonight on the Verdict with Dan Abrams! And, Pat, who does the Utopia web site for us, just came out and adopted Jane Fonda! Jane's new name is Taylor!

Our Dogs Rule!

This morning, John picked up five more dogs, from Hoegemeyer’s, that we rescued, from the Kerrville pound, on Wednesday—and were they happy to get here! John put Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda in one pen. Katherine Ross and Jane Fonda are happily sharing a pen, and Henry Fonda has his own pen for now—until we decide who should be his roommate.

Roger Miller, who was returned to us, a week ago, for eating a saddle, is glad to be back and he loves his roommate—Lucy!

DOCTOR’S REPORT: John is now fully recovered from the flu! Tony is still sicker than a dog (whatever that is supposed to mean). And, I am a little bit better. Cough, Cough, Cough!

We Just Rescued These Dogs!

Starting on Monday, we rescued Miss Daisy, Layla, (Mr. Stubbs—who has already been adopted). and Susie. On Tuesday, we rescued Ms. Pepper, Sierra and Sam. Today, we went to the Kerrville pound and rescued Henry, Peter and Jane Fonda, along with Dennis Hopper and Kathryn Ross—and we're all still sick with the flu!

These dogs are the first to be released to us from Hoegemeyers—after being spayed or neutered and having received all of their shots! They are great dogs!

Tomorrow we plan to go back to the pound to get two more, because we are replacing the 14 dogs that we adopted out last week!

Needless to say, we have been busy, and fortunately, we are all starting to feel much better!
