Broken Rock!

Today has been great, but I have to keep it short, because thunderstorms are coming soon, which means we have to unplug everything. So, I guess we will be spending the evening playing music, with Tony playing Nellybelle, our new uke and me accompanying him on Trigger, the guitar that Ronnie made for me.

Early this afternoon Kinky called and suggested that we go to town to eat lunch, at El Sol de Mexico, because he was anxious to try it. To say the least, "Our lunch was delicious and fun and Kinky really liked the restaurant.

Late this afternoon our dear friend Charlie called me to ask if he could come over, because he wanted to discuss my novella, The Cowgirl Sisterhood: The Membership Drive, Part I, because he had just finished reading it. (Charlie and his wife Ellen are characters in Chapter II.)

Twenty minutes later Charlie showed up and when he walked inside The Cabin he handed me a large split rock that he had found on their other ranch, in Sanderson, Texas. "This is for you, Nancy, because I know that you are a rockhound, too. I picked it up, because I thought it might look like one of those medicinal Brownies, in your novella. Here's a picture of my new, broken rock that Charlie gave to me. I put a fork next to it, so you can see how big it is.



After we had stopped laughing, I made us some delicious Donut Shop coffee. Then he asked me if he could look at our Keurig single cup coffee maker. When I was finished telling him all about it and how much we loved it, we talked about his favorite parts of my novella. "Ellen and I loved reading it and I want to buy five more copies to give to our friends."

While I signed copies to his and Ellen's friends and family we laughed and talked about rocks, rain, motorcycles, Johnny Manziel, A&M and the Crimson Tide beating Notre Dame last night. And that is about it for tonight, because it just thundered outside.

Y'all have a great evening!

Jay Thomas!

Today has been a lot of fun. Late this morning our good friends Kris and Jim, "The Mineral Man," came out to loan me a television to watch until I purchase a new one on black Friday or sooner. "Thank you, Kris and Jim! It is on right now."

After Jim kindly set up their television for us we had a really fun visit filled with laughter. While we were laughing and taking turns telling funny stories, our dear friend Lisa and her family showed up, because they had come to Kerrville for a Girls Only—Moms and daughters weekend and Lisa wanted them to see the rescue ranch.

When they came inside The Cabin, after introductions I asked, "Okay, who is Lisa's mom, because y'all all look so young?" And I was shocked when Lisa's mom spoke up and said, "I am," because she has definitely found the Fountain of Youth and only her family knows where it is located.

After I had showed them my broken television and the spooky-looking thing on the screen on my iPod, that still plays my music, we had a short discussion about MIR being the worst it has ever been. Then Lisa took her beautiful family outside to hand out treats to our dogs, before going to Medina to eat lunch.

This afternoon, around 2:15, right when Tony and I were fixin' to eat the lunch that I had cooked, the dogs outside started barking, so Tone and I went outside, with Mama and Roy, because Roy has been known for helping himself to whatever food is left on the drainboard.

At 2:45 we officially adopted out Lucy to a lovely family, with darling twin girls and Lucy was thrilled about it, but her roommate Rocky seemed sad to see her go, so now we are going to focus on getting Rocky adopted. Here's a picture I took of the twins with their new best, forever friend. And I must admit that Lucy could not wait to jump into their minivan and go to her forever loving home, in Center Point and hopefully never see our rescue ranch again.


When we came back inside The Cabin, I went Online to Apple and purchased a new 160G Classic iPod and decided to get it engraved for free with these words, "Nancy Parker-Simons Loves Roy Rogers." Then Roy, Mama and I went to the bedroom and took a short sleepless nap, with me in between them.

Early this evening I went over to the Lodge to visit with Kinky and Brian, his tequila business partner and to show Kinky and him this hilarious Jay Thomas YouTube video about Jay actually meeting the Lone Ranger and giving him a ride and Kinky and Brian thought it was totally hilarious too.

Then I watched the last half of the exciting Texas A&M vs. Alabama game with them and we were thrilled that A&M won, because we love Texas A&M and their quarterback, Johnny Manziel graduated from Tivy High School, in Kerrville. Then I came home and that is about it for tonight.

Y'all have a great evening!
