Im gonna try to do somemore pics. so here goes

       Well on Saturday I fixed PD's Red Wine Beef Stew. It was a little involved but it was delicious. It was more like steak with a gravy you pour over mashed potatoes..Also made broccoli and cauliflower salad from my southern living cookbook. We had it for leftovers yesterday and it was still yummy. It called for a whole bottle of wine.
          yesterday one of our single guy neighbors decided to get totally wasted and play his radio in his truck real loud. It was no big deal all day but once it got dark and bedtime it became a real problem for the people that lived on both sides of him.The owner actually told him to turn it down earlier in the day. Neither of the neighbors complained but the owner called the sheriff at 10;30 pm last night. 4 cop cars and an ambulance showed up. One of the cars headlights were shining in our windows. The guy was sitting in his truck passed out with radio blaring. He was told to turn it down and he did. But after they left he turned it back on and drove his truck out back and forth shining his lights in neighbors windows cuz he thought they turned him in. So they called the owner and the cops came out again about 1;30. This time they told him to go inside and stay there and if he came out and got in truck again they would arrest him. They actually drove thru a 3rd time later to make sure he was inside. I wonder if the owner is gonna evict him now? I guess we shall wait and see.
         Spanky is now 6.2 lb. I just gave him a bath and now he is all tuckered out. Poor puppy , I so abuse him.LOL
          I was originally gonna make creamy peanut soup but Paul kept turning his nose up at the idea and the weather was gonna be too nice for soup. It was 68 yesterday , we washed our vehicles and I waxed my car and Paul shampooed the seats in the truck and vacuumed it This is the first time in 35 years that our cars have to sit outside so I try to keep mine waxed and the interior conditioned and I usually put a window thing in the back and front windows when it is a scorcher out. I wanna keep my new car new.
          Im gonna try to post some pics. If you see them I succeeded. If not, well you know!
     

         

whatta dinner!!!!

       Hey ya'll, That was the best meatloaf I've ever had! Now I  wasn't able to make the turnip mashed potatoes cuz the little stores in town didn't have any turnips.So I made instant potatoes. But I did make PD's Blackeyed Pea Salad again. It's just so good, had to have it again.When I figure out how to post pics Ill show the finished results.
        Let Spanky up on our bed last night. He was on it for 15 mins and decided to pee on it. He just lost his bedroom privileges. He got his last puppy shots , now we need to get him fixed. The vet wants us to wait 2 wks before we get it done.Other than that he good for a year.
       
         
     

     Hey there ya'll, I haven't posted for a few days. I've been having problems doing this. All of a sudden I can't seem to be able to add pictures and was about to give up the whole thing. But I decided to keep writing until I can figure out how to add more pictures. Also had to change to google chrome instead of internet explorer.
     So today I've decided to make PD's recipe for Cheeseburger Meatloaf and sauce for dinner.Need to go to store and pick up a few needed items, but I have most everything I need.I think I will add to it PD's turnip mashed potatoes(not sure about this one, turnips you know) Unless I figure out how to add a picture of this, you will just get to hear how good it was. But I will take pics for later when I do learn how to add them. Ive started out with simple recipes because unless I go into Waco to a large grocery store, I might not find certain Ingredients for different recipes cuz the little grocery stores in West pretty much carry the basics. Like cheeses, no provolone,blue cheese, feta, white cheddar,gonzola, wedge of parmeson etc. you get it.
     Today I will be taking Spanky to the Vet for more puppy shots..I gave him a bath the other day. I took my grooming arm and noose and attached it to alittle table in the motorhome.Much easier to groom him, I had the control. His hair is getting longer and Im trying to train it to lie down across his nose and up between his eyes, so he has a tiny pony tail on his head and another one behind it. Looks like a sumo wrestler. I used chapstick to get the nose hair to lay down for now. Im going to go buy butch wax and try that later.
      Today it is going to be in the mid 70's. Can't wait. Paul will get home today at 3. But he has to work tomorrow. Sunday he is going goose hunting with a co-worker.
       Here is something ya'll would never expect out of me. I'm gonna take classes to shoot a gun, I need to learn about the different type of guns cuz I think the gun I'm gonna get is a 38(?) ya'll know, like a Dick Tracey gun. Paul is gonna take a class in Concealed Weapons so he can get a license to carry one. Might look in to joining the shooting range. This I guess will be our new thing to do together  We have this arsenal in our motorhome, it seems like the thing to do to learn how to use them. After all we are in Texas.I'll let ya'll know how that goes when I start it.sounds like fun.
        Today Im going to try to paint a sign with our names on it to put outside our motorhome like all those snowbirds do. nobody will ever have one like mine. Since Paul pretty much has his weekend planned, it gives me time to paint.
         I also bought a clicker to help with training this pup. He's a tiny ball of energy and he is becoming a barker which isnt very loud but at 4 in the morning when Paul lets him out I'm sure our neighbors don't appreciate it at all. well I need to get busy so talk at ya'll later
       

Spanky the Malti-tzu

  About out pup, His name is Spanky(from our gang) We acually bought 2 pups (not my idea) Paul thought they needed company. The other guy's name was Alfalfa(Alfie).He was so cute, I picked him. He had more maltese features and mellow. Paul chose Spanky cuz he seemed spunky. Well we took them to the vet 2 days later to have them looked at. They had diarhea but I didnt think that was going to be anything serious. Well they had round worms and coccidia which is parasites in  the intestines. these two things they get from their mother before they are born which means she was not vaccinated for them. They also had ear mites which is the sign of a dirty facility. First we didnt know she was a breeder until we meant her. She had us meet her in this little town in a parking lot. she lived 2 1/2 hours away. So she met us half way so we wouldnt have to be on the road for 5 hours total. well to make along story short, my little
alfie died.
     I txt her 4 times during this whole ordeal and she never responded.. Finally 2 wks before Christmas I txt her one more time. told her the vet and a guy from the tx dept of agriculture, animal health said the dogs got sick from her facility and there fore I would like my money back for the one dog, not a replacement. Wow she wrote me back and said she would refund the money. Havent seen it yet so I guess Im gonna have to txt her again and turn her into the Ag dept. and have them check out her facility If I dont see a check soon. They are having a real problem here in tx with puppy mills and dirty facilities and shutting them down.So I guess its agood thing Paul picked out this guy cuz he is fine. He just makes me his new chew toy. I even put hot sauce on my hands once and he still try gnawing on me. Ill tell you more about him another day
