Place: back at the Lazy S Ranch Comments: John,John, John, You will never get this group to believe I would tell such a terrible pun. And once again, Thanks for picking up our breakfast tab. I really enjoyed the visit.
Place: Southlake Comments: SNL, did you get my email of Kinley's pics
Place: Denny's @ The Woodlands, TX Comments: Dale was in our fair city last weekend and we met for breakfast Saturday morning at the local Denny's. We chatted about the cruise he and Yuvonne took in December on the ill-fated Carnival Triumph. Other travel talk centered on his trip a few years back to Paris (France). Dale says if I ever go there I have to visit the well-known 1,000 ft. tall landmark. "When you get to the tower", he continued, "go stand underneath it ... right smack dab in the center. Then lean your head back and look straight up ... all the way to the tippy top ... then close your eyes". "What happens then?" I asked. "You fall over backwards", he said. "That's why they call it the 'I-fell' Tower".
Place: Allen, TX Comments: Congrats, David. You will love being a granddaddy. It's very easy. Just love them, hold them, kiss and hug them, and spoil them rotten (against their parents' wishes). Make them know they are special to you, and you will get tons of love back in return.
Place: Richardson Comments: That's funny David! But the spelling isn't as important as the hugs, kisses & love from you!! But then, you're having a hard time with your own name!  Congrats . . . you're going to be a wonderful Grandpa!

Place: bigd Comments: Hay SNL,I have been restoring some old antiques that were in my barn for the last couple of years, waiting to be cared for. an old Mission rocker that I bought at a garage sale and another chair that is so strange (different) looking that I can't identify it. I finished a chest of drawers that I planed to take to auction but Marilyn put it in the upstairs bedroom. I'm working on a child's oak roll top desk now. We take short trips out of town and stop at antique stores along the way. Sally, The TV news said that bluebonnets may bloom late this year because of the lack of rain. So before you come to Texas ask for a bluebonnet report on the guest book.
Place: Garland UA Comments: Shortcake...who was that bearded guy in a suit? That's the first time I've ever seen that bearded guy in a suit! His better half was also looking quiet lovely as well!!! Great picture of all of them!
Place: cold NYC Comments: that was some stuff you had in your garage , Rick. Sounds like it was so nice, you should have had it in the house! Walking to work this am I was listening to Roger Creager and the words made me homesick for TX-they are "I guess you were right. Bluebonnets are worth the drive" i have not seen them for a few years now! maybe this spring!
Place: Garland Comments: Hey jack.....just posted Merrill's pics to my timeline in Facebook so you could see them from the the banquet last night. Recognized everyone except that guy with the beard!
Place: Richardson Comments: Nice to hear from you Rick! You explained where you've been the last few days /week, but what have you been doing since you retired late last yr?? Wow, 2K for allowing someone to get rid of "stuff" in your garage. Now you have room for more stuff . . . good move!
Place: Sacchse Comments: Rod, your grandchildren are adorable. Love the photo. Doc, congrats to you on having your first grandchild. They are so much fun to spoil.
Place: bigD Comments: Hay everyone, I noticed this cold morning that there was some small hail on the ground around the house and it rained too. I have been rearranging the stuff in the garage the last couple of days. Mare and I went to Granberry two weeks ago and I happened to mention to the guy at the antique store that I had some things in the garage I would sell, so He came to take a look and bought some stuff. Then he returned with his wife the next week and bought more, to the tune of 2K. I down sized my old radio and camera collections. So now I have more room to put more stuff.
Place: Windy & cool in Richardson Comments: You can consider this a PSA to make sure everyone is aware of the tax break you can get when you tun 65! When either you or your spouse turn 65 you can request the tax reduction allowed by most all City /Counties. In the yr Don turned 65, I got the form from the City of Richardson website & mailed it in January, even though he wouldn't turn 65 till later in the yr. Short & easy to fill out. But in our case, the City gave us a $55K reduction, Collin County gave us $43,120, Collin County College was $30K & Plano ISD $25K. They take that amount from the value of your home & you pay tax on the reduced amt! It does not reduce the value of your home, just the value you pay tax on. If any of you or your spouse has turn 65 or will this yr . . . I urge you to file this form as you are paying more tax than you have to. Of course ea City, County & sch district has the option of doing so, they are not legally bound to do it. But, most all do, as they don't want to risk the wrath of a bunch of seniors going after them!! |
