Andrew Wyeth...Thank You!!!

one of my favorite artist died today at the age of 91...I have a print of this painting hanging in my home and every time I look at it I have to smile...

What a talent...to create something that a total stranger would proudly display in their own home...I've created things that my own family has lost or misplaced [secretly thrown away]...

I think I would like to live to be in my 90's...my GrandMa is going to turn 94 this year so it could happen...but then again, that generation is a whole different breed...

I'm probably too full of preservatives...or red dye number 98...or something...

Air Biscuit Raid!!!!

The Munster Kitty loves to sit in my lap as I type...so here I sit, minding my own business, when all of a sudden....WHAT IS THAT SMELL.....wafting, wafting, wafting.....OH, MY GAWD!!!!!

Munster Kitty has just dusted me off!!!! Again!!!! What the heck does that cat eat that could turn so rotten within it's system....it's just unreal!!!!

...The Famous Flying Flatulence Feline....sails across the room...and it's thinking....WHAT??????

Stupid Is As Stupid Does...

They did it again!!!

You would think that after half a dozen episodes those stupid dogs would learn not to chase the black kitty with the pretty white stripe!!!!

PEEEEEEEE-UUUUUUUUUU

The Salt Lick...

I dropped my clothes off at the drycleaners this morning and the owner greeted me wearing Carhartt bib overalls...she looked cute and comfortable. I sometimes wish I had a job where I could dress like that...it would save me a bundle in dry-cleaning expenses...maybe I should open a feed store...I would hire good lookin young people and we would all dress like the cast of Hee-Haw....maybe a topless feed store....girls on odd numbered days and guys on even numbered days...Hmmmmmm....what would I call it?????

Awesome!!!

I saw a bald eagle flying over the lake in front of our house last weekend...
I was filling up the horse trough in the front pasture, bored as hell...
when I heard the ducks on the lake raising a ruckus...I looked up and saw a bald eagle soaring above the lake, hunting...with three buzzards in it's wake...looking for leftovers. What an awesome sight...no wonder our forefathers chose this bird to be our national symbol...a turkey, quail or peacock just wouldn't do....

Sleepless...

I took a diet pill this afternoon around 3:30...

I CAN'T SLEEP!!!

Man-ty Hose...

...for added warmth and comfort in these cold winter nights...

I think I will get Mr. Give a pair so he can keep cozy while mucking the barn...

he will be the envy of Montague County!!!

Honey Do...

Mr. Give was performing a "honey-do" and repairing a kitchen cabinet for me...less than a minute later, the cabinet was still broken but Mr. Gives fingers [on both hands I might add] were super glued together...the only free finger was his middle one on his right hand which he used to tell me I was number one!!!!!

Yes Ladys.....he is all mine!!!!

Looks Just Like....

...nuff said....

We Got A Live One!!!

Our A/C went out last summer so we had a couple of 100+ degree days that we had to endure before we could get the new system installed...

Mr. Give pulled this out of the back of the pantry today...

Stand back, I think its going to blow...

Couple juiced to death in North Texas...

More at 11...

Only the Strong (or Stupid) Survive...

...10 years ago, Mr. Give lost a bet with a co-worker and his payoff was to dye his hair any color the winner chose...the choice was jet black.

So Mr. Give skips into his local Sally's Beauty Supply and brings home some hair dye. His hair came out so jet black it had a blue/black sheen to it...the next day was one of the hottest days that summer and his jet black hair radiated the heat strait to the few brain cells he had left and made him so miserable that he went to the winner and said, "Any color....any color but black!!!"....so after much thought and guffaws the winner said, "OK, dye it white"...ecstatic with relief, Mr. Give again skips into his local beauty supply and purchased the blue stuff that turns your hair white.

The next day, Mr. Give goes to work with hair the color of Harley Davison ORANGE!!! heeheehee...so back he goes for more bluing...

I came home from work, opened the front door and was just about knocked down by the peroxide aroma coming from my home...he was determined to turn his orange hair to white by the next morning...he even had the product on his facial hair...then I noticed something protruding from both nostrils...I said "Not the nose hairs too?!?!?!?" Come to find out, he had cotton plugs in his nose because he couldn't stand the smell either!!!

This pix shows what I had to be seen with in public for the next 6 months…and as if that wasn’t enough…our teenaged son thought that it was so cool, he dyed his hair white too…

...its memories like this that keep the spark in our 18 year relationship…never a dull moment!!!

Brrrrrrrr!!!

The horse and mule are covered in mud, anything to stay warm...

The barn kitties came running to greet me with ice laden whiskers...

These stupid monster kitties in the house don't realize just how good they've got it!!! They keep testing me and they just might find out!!!...Frozen Puss Pops Anyone....heeheehee

Broke In My New Mud Boots!!!

I Got My New Mud Boots Muddy Today!!!
I've been dying to wear these since Christmas, but Mr. Give wouldn't let me wear them outside unless it was muddy...so I went slip'n & slide'n out at the barn as soon as I got home this afternoon!!!

The animals were look'n at me kinda funny....I don't know if it was because I was acting like an idiot or because I looked like one?!?!?!?!?

Still Love Snow Dayz...

Lived in Kansas as a kid and used to love the days we were snowed in and couldn't go to school....

I was told to go home at 1pm today due to the frozen rain...

First sign of trouble was just north of Decatur by the rest area....SUV off in the ditch...

then north of Alvord...five vehicles off of the road at the overpasses...

Then an 18 wheeler comes barreling up on my @ss at a curved overpass of all places!!!

Got on the hotline to God real quick!!!! Dumb*sses!!!!

Don't Forget...

to eat some black-eye peas today!!!

I just cooked some up in the pressure cooker and scared the poo out of the camo kitty [insert evil laugh]

(Camo is the color of a bobcat and stays hid out in the house)

Mr. Give had just gotten Camo out of her hiding place and settled down in the family room when the pressure cooker started hissing....

Camo peeled out so fast I think Mr. Give will need stitches...

I hope the peas are worth the blood letting...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

NO This Isn't Me!!!!!

heeheehee

Mr. Give & I were at home, safely passed out on our couch where we couldn't hurt ourselves or any innocent bystanders...

We have learned from years of experience...

Hope you all had a safe and happy New Year celebration and none of you ended up starring in your own Kodak moment!!!

Wishing you and yours a happy & prosperous New Year!!!

Blue Men...

...if you haven't seen them...

you should...

...modern day Pink Floyd...

....you should tune-in....

OK.....I GIVE...."UNCLE"...

....I know when I'm out-numbered...

Mr. Give thought that the Munster kitty needed a playmate....so....
we met up with some friends [am beginning to rethink that relationship]
to pick up a cute little kitten pal...by the time we left we had two....
yes I said 2 (TWO) little friends....

my girlfriend put the second one in the carrier with the first...and the fight was on....
we thought that one of them pooped itself but thank goodness it was just an air bomb...
so we borrowed a second carrier so that they would both arrive home alive.

We got to the house and put the carriers on the floor so that the Munster could get acquainted...
all was well with the smaller of the guests so we let "IT" out to "play"...
after numerous b*tch slaps...they are getting along just swell...

so....we decide to let the larger companion out of it's cell....

...it ran under my bed and we haven't seen it since...

it IS somewhere in this house, but heck if we can find it!!!

If it poops under my bed....I'm going to be sooooo un-pleased!!!!!

So 4 hours later...stealth Kitty is still out there...lurking...waiting...

...such a strange feeling when you know you have a critter laying in wait....

...right in your very own home....

...to be continued....(if we live through the night)...

Jealous, Jealous, Jealous...

Mr. Give gave me a belated Christmas gift this morning...

A 12" WOODIE ! ! ! ! Woo-Hoo ! ! ! ! !

This is a Woodie of my very own...

I can hug it and squeeze it and pet it and love it...

My very own Woodie will keep me company on those cold winter nights when Mr. Give is away...

My very own Woodie comes complete with it's own hat to protect it's soft little head...

and the hat is ribbed...

Just one problem....I've never had a Woodie of my very own...

I'm not sure where I should put it....Any Suggestions????

...You Got A Friend In Me...You Got A Friend In Me...

...Ride Woodie, Ride...

Stock'in Stuffer

...is fix'in to get stuffed someplace else...

"Guitar Idol" air guitar play-thing has turned Mr. Give into a loon...

...if I hear "Jumpin' Jack Flash" one more time...

somebody is going to find himself at the bottom of the well...

...he even has the "munster" do'in it!!!
