Summer reruns

No real vacation this year.  With junior living only 3 hours away this summer (as compared to half a country away the last 3 summers), we don't have any major vacation plans this year.  Oh, I've offered, but momma doesn't like to fly so that kinda limits our range.  Still working on a few alternate plans, but, for now, I'm stockpiling vacation with no big plans to burn it.  I will probably take off a few days when they replace my driveway next month.  May take an extended trip to Austin and the Hill Country just to let momma get her son fix.  I am planning to take some time this fall for a few football games and get in some hunting.  And having two dogs makes logistics a challenge. 

Meanwhile, life ambles on for us.  Work, eat, sleep, walk the dogs, pay the bills.  Dog show tomorrow.  There's a hurricane (Bonnie) headed our way but she's too far out to start the panic.  Should make landfall Sunday and is currently projected for the coast east of us.  Hopefully, it will not cause too much damage.  

In the meantime, I have been pondering a theme.  Just like when TV used to put on reruns during the summer session, I thought I would post up some older stories/sagas for your amusement (or boredom) over the next few weeks.  These are things I have done/written about in the past, but not in a blog format.  Some are recent events, others go way back.  I just hope this ain't too long winded or boring.

Lois is really starting to "shine".  With all this hoopla and media hype, you'd think she was a Hollywood star just our of rehab.

Lois probably smells better than a star going INTO rehab...

I rather like the "take it as it comes" approach to summer - plans lead to stress which defeats the object of vacations...

I'd enjoy reading some older stories. Looking forward to them.

Oooh, a walk down memory lane! Memory trail?

I've heard of Philmont, but have never been there, although I've been to the Sangre de Cristos.

Btw, I heard on our local news station(!) that Lois finally bloomed and is as smelly as ever!
