Ok I've just had a thought

Well I know that I haven't written any thing for quite a while on the blog but I didn't think any one was looking anyway so what the hay....Well tonight when I checked my E-mail one of my good friends poked me and was wondering what was going on.....I don't have any good excuses so won't try to give any other that just kind of being busy during pool league season.....But now that it is over and things are settling down for the HOT summer I know that I must at least try to put something down....That way at least you will know that we are still having a thought or two....HA HA...

I know that now with Church services being over for the summer next Sunday I won't have too much to put in the Magnolia blog so will have more time for this one...I will say that I have been having problems with my knees more and more lately and know that I am going to have to have them replaced in the near future (not looking forward to that) but the Dr. said the pain wouldn't be any worse recovering than it hurts now and at least when that's over it will be worth it....

Well at least this is a start again....I know that I have more time now so on with the show....Later...

The New Year

Welcome to the New Year....The old year is gone and just a memory, some good and some bad....I guess that is how it is in life...Every body has their ups and downs, but as long as there are more ups than downs, it's all good....HA HA I don't mean to sound negative as we should always look to the future for new adventures in life...

I haven't wrote any thing in quite a while just to see if any one notices that nothing seemed to be going on...I have been getting some questions from some readers about just where I have gone, so will start again....The holidays were kind of a blur, they just flew by...I hope Santa Claus stopped by your house and left more than a lump of coal in your stocking....Also I hope you didn't make any new year's resolutions that you will break or have broken by now...HA HA..

Well the pool leagues have started and it seems to be busy for the old fat boy...I hardly have time to take Marilyn to Wal-mart it seems...And you know that must be done somewhat regularly...I guess we need to take advantage of the time to be busy for with the coming of the new year the season is almost half over and summer will be here again....I guess we are never completely satisfied no matter what happens....I am just glad to be as healthy as I am to enjoy the blessings that I have...More later...

Merry Christmas

Well this week has been quite a rush with all that's going on down in deep south Texas at the Loring house....Our son has had his skin grafts and is home from the hospital doing very good...I talked to him today and he sounded very up beat which is great...He was looking forward to his daughter and grand kids coming over for Christmas Eve...I know that he was excited and looking forward to it....Also my brother in law got home from the hospital and doing very well also, so things are looking up in the health department for the family...

I managed to play pool a few days this week of course and took Marilyn to Wal-mart early in the week, cause it's been very crowded for the last few days...We tried to go to HEB this morning after we went out for breakfast...We drove into the parking lot, couldn't find a parking place and drove right out....We then stopped at Dollar General and picked up the couple of items that we needed with out any trouble....

Last night Marilyn and I went over to Magnolia Park to visit with old friends...Of course I played pool and Marilyn played cards with her girl friends...We got to talk and say HI to many of our old friends and wish them Merry Christmas...And now I want to wish all that read my blog "MERRY CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR"...

Did you think I had forgot????

I know I haven't posted anything but I have had a few things on my mind that I didn't want to just put down so please forgive me....Our son has been in the hospital for the last few days with some burns on one of his legs and having problems with infection and swelling...When the swelling and the infection goes down he is going to have some skin grafts done...Also my brother in law in Florida is also in the hospital with high fever and internal infection but now improving and should be released in the next day or so....Also the pool season has started it has kind of kept me busy also....Don't forget that I also have to take Marilyn to Wal-Mart every so often to make everyone happy...Well it's a great life if we just don't let it get us down....Just keep smiling there's a lot more good than bad......

Any Turkey Left???

Here it is a week after "Turkey Day" and I am wondering if there is any turkeys left on this earth....It seems that every one that I talk to had turkey for Thanksgiving with some left overs for the next few days or so....I know that we did also and it sure was good...I also know that I must have gained a few pounds for sure and that's something this old fat boy doesn't need at all....Well with no more turkeys at least the temptation is not there...HA HA..

Well at least the pool league has started for me on Wednesday mornings...I like to play pool but am not to excited to get up early in the morning and go play somewhere...I guess that's just the dues one has to pay for the privilege of being able to play...

The weather has been kind of cool for the last few days so it's a welcome relief from the hot weather...It doesn't seem that it should be as late in the year as it is...Time has a way of just slipping away so fast , the next thing you know it will be Christmas and the first of the year...Well it has been a great year anyway and we are so blessed to be as healthy as we are cause we don't have to go far to find someone a lot worse off than we are...
