Left Behind!

Today has been great. Yesterday afternoon, I was planning on writing a post for my blog, but when I heard and saw the news about that monster tornado ripping through Moore, Oklahoma I was saddened and became depressed.

This morning when Tony woke me up, so I would be awake enough to do the Utopia segment on Big G's Roadshow, I turned on the television and then I immediately turned it off, because I did not want to hear any more bad news, because it upsets me.

Gordon James aka Big G called me a few minutes before it was time to do his popular morning radio show to visit. We talked about our friend Jay Pennington and Kinky. Then we went On-Air.

During the Utopia segment, I told Big G about Lulu being his Pet of the Week, who last Thursday was also Harley's Pet of the Week. "Cousin Nancy, do you know that our friend, Fourth Coates, is going to be on my show later this morning?"

"No, I didn't. Tony and I love Fourth, so please tell him that I said howdy. You know that Fourth was in my first novella and he's in the second one too, if I ever find enough time to finish it. Oh, and you're also in Part II."

"Well, my my, that's some exciting news," Gordon said. "Fourth is going to be on at 9:00 and the first thing that I want to do is to find out which one of us wears the biggest hat..."

When Tony returned from Medina the first thing he said to me was, "Fourth is going to do Big G's show this morning..."

After breakfast, before going outside, Tony and I listened to Big G's interview with Fourth and we really enjoyed it. When Big G told Fourth, "By the way, Cousin Nancy asked me earlier, to tell you howdy," We laughed out loud.

"I love Cousin Nancy and Tony," Fourth replied. Anyway, Big G's show with Fourth was very interesting, informative and often funny, because both of those men have a great sense of humor.

A little before noon, Marcie came over with her friends from Viet Nam, Ian and Hi, who were visiting her. Tony and I immediately liked Ian and his wife, so we invited everyone to come inside The Cabin for a visit.

When we came inside, I picked up my guitar from the bench, so there would be enough seating. "Nancy, you might want to dust off the bench before they sit down," Tony suggested. It didn't look dusty to me, so I didn't.

Ian and Hi went over to the bench and sat down. Then our fun visit started.

Late this afternoon, after I went to Medina to mail a few things, I walked inside our trailer and immediately laughed. Because the sun outside was shining brightly into our trailer and I could see all of the dust left behind on the bench, after Ian and Hi had sat on it. Feeling so embarrassed about it being so dusty, I took this picture of their behindprints that they left behind.

Y'all have a great evening!

Short Post Tonight—Rick's Here!

Today has been great, but because it is late, tonight's post is going to be really short, because our dear friend Rick, the "Friendly Lighthouse Keeper" is here! This morning our good friend Kim Williamson came out to shoot us, but she ended up only shooting Kinky, for a PSA about our exciting, upcoming B.J. Thomas Bonefit, to air on Fox's local channels.

Kinky first started out holding Winston Churchill in his arms as he plugged our upcoming benefit (bonefit) and then when our good friend Big G showed up, because Winston was barking at his big hat that he was wearing, Kim shot Kinky holding Sophie and she literally stole the show.

After Kink had plugged the final "An Evening With B. J. Thomas" bonefit, we had a fun time visiting with each other, as Kim packed up her camera gear. After Kim had adios-ed us, Big G, one of Kerrville's most popular radio DJ's, followed Tone and me over to the rescue ranch, so we could visit.

During our super fun visit with Big G, I played Jim Keaveny's CD, "Music Man" for him and he loved his music as much as we do and he told us that he was going to contact Keaveny, so he could interview him on his show and start playing his fabulous music—which of course, made me smile, because I love Jim Keaveny's music so much and want the whole world to know about this fantastic, talented musician.

During our super fun visit with Big G, in Outer Space, I also played him one of my new, favorite bluegrass songs by Steve Martin on his Rare Bird Alert CD—King Tut and Big G loved it and it made him smile, like it does us, so he told us that he was going to start playing it on his morning show!

This evening, after Tony had hung up my new "faux 2" white, wooden blinds" eight times, in my pretty, pink writing cabin—Rick pleasantly surprised us and showed up on his cool Triumph motorcycle!

After happy hour, before we went outside to show Rick my newly decorated cabin, I pulled two frozen steaks out of the freezer and said, "Tomorrow morning, after y'all get back from the Old Timer, I'm fixing y'all these two steaks with eggs." Which ended up being a total lie, because when we returned to the trailer—Mama had already eaten one of them—which made us all laugh. And that is about it for tonight.

Y'all have a great evening and please keep praying that we get some more rain!
