The Queen Has Been De-Throned....

Wednesday, February 23, 2011



HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BROTHER, 
JAMES!!



The queen of "good deals" has been de-throned.


Yep, it's true......my neighbor Kris has toppled me out of the "Lucky-Liz-Dandy-Shopper" 1st place award by purchasing this fabulous $250.00 pea coat at JC Penney the other day for $4.97.  Did you hear me??

$4.97!!!!

Here's the proof....
Geeeeeeeezzz......

Oh ya.....below are just some of the obstacles one has to encounter in East Texas when you go to Bible Study........


I was held hostage for about 10 minutes.

The Chair

Monday, February 21, 2011


I BOUGHT THE CHAIR!!



I've decided that anytime I want to keep track of Chuck, I'd simply have him sit in this chair.....



There is no way he can get out of it on his own.....




Still have no idea where I'm going to put it.......
but I LOVE it!!

I Am Bewitched by Bald Trees, Bald Charlies & Good Friends.....

February 15, 2011


Is it just me or do the bare winter trees look oddly bewitching this year?  For the past couple months, I've had this strange urge to photograph bald trees....



Speaking of "bald', my bald husband Charlie and I took a trip to Brenham last week to visit our friends Norm and Sue.  

Unfortunately, on the way there, Chuck took a little "spill" at the gas station while walking Murphy, who was now freely chasing a chick dog down the highway.......For those of you in the Chuck-Fan-Club; he is fine.  Between picking Charlie up off the concrete and chasing Murphy down the road,
it all made for quite an entertaining time for the passers-by.

But words can't express how happy I was to see my dear friends Norm and Sue.  I have had the most overwhelming "need" to see them over the past few months and we finally, FINALLY were able to make it down there without a snow storm or 104 fever stopping us.

I just needed to hug Sue......I needed to talk to Sue......I needed to look in her eyes and make sure she was okay.......I needed to sit quietly on the porch with my friend and a cup of coffee.......

A Frozen-Armadillo-Banana Split Kind of Day.....

Tuesday, February 1, 2011


Burrrrrrrrrr..............it's freakishly C*O*L*D outside!  

Couldn't get the door to my car open this morning; and when, after bracing one foot on the side of the car and pulling with all my weight on the door handle, the door finally broke loose of the ice, it took the weather stripping with it......

And as soon as the temp's get above freezing again (most likely Friday...), I'm hopeful the armadillo I plowed down last night will simply fall off the underside of my car instead of me having to peel him off....

And please remind me.......the next time Chuck and I decide to sneak banana splits from Brahm's into the movie theatre in my coat, to put them in a spill proof bag.........

UGH........
