Happy Birthday Sandra...
...even if you don't answer your phone!
You can print this one out and put it in your 8X8 frame I gave you in March...if it's already on your wall that is!
Hope you and Clayton are having a fun day and are celebrating, instead of working...that's a hint, but you are probably at work as always, and so is he...

And my mom says I never post anything here!
- Es hat die ganze Nacht gestuermt
- Also hat Rhowdie wieder die Nerven verloren
- Kam ins Schlafzimmer und hat Dan abgeholt
- Der hat dann alle schlimme sachen von Rhowdie abgehalten
- Hat bei jedem Sturm bei Rhowdie gesessen
- Der Arme Jaeger musste in seine Huette weil er dachte es waere Zeit zum spielen
- Auserdem macht Rhowdie Jaeger zum Nervenbuendel weil er die ganze Zeit hin und her rennt, da ist es besser wenn Jaeger in Ruhe schlafen kann
- Wenn der Sturm nachlaesst kommt Dan wieder ins Bett, nur um 2 Minuten spaeter wieder von Rhowdie abgeholt zu werden.
- Ich weiss nicht ob es wirklich nur 2 minuten sind, ich weiss nur das ich wach werde wenn Dan reinkommt und dann wenn Rhowdie reinkommt und Dan wieder rausgeht!
- Ich bin dann halt immer 1 sekunde mit dennen wach und dann kann ich wieder schlafen!
- So, Mama, habe ich Dir jetzt genug geschrieben und von meiner Nacht erzaehlt?
- ROFLOL! Weisst Du was dass heisst?
- Ich bin jetzt seit 3 Stunden wach und die beiden haben sich ausgeschlafen, denke ich! Rhowdie war ganz geschafft, der Arme Hund!!!

Do you know how dark it gets?!?
Power outage darkens south Abilene
Almost 10,000 homes and businesses in Abilene were without power Thursday evening, part of a band of outages that stretches through Oklahoma and Texas.
No cause was announced but severe weather along the Texas-Oklahoma border was reported by local Little League officials who were at a tournament Wichita Falls, where lightning and high winds were reported.
The outage mostly affected southeast Abilene, said John Gallagher, a public information officer for the Abilene Fire Department.
Power went out at around 9:45 p.m. It was hoped power would be restored by 11 p.m., and the Abilene Police Department reported calls about the outage stopped around 10:45 p.m.
The 9,609 customers without power represented nearly 17 percent of AEP customers in Taylor County, according to the electric company’s Web site.
It is dark when the power goes off at 9:45 pm! And so quiet, except some peoples dogs barking (yes, mine :-)) But not too bad! Finding candles in the dark is not that easy...but luckily I know where they are and didn't stub any toes either!
When the power came back on we watched a bit of the news and then decided to watch a DVD, just to have the power go off again and jump back on. Well, that was it, I was done with that and turned off the TV (after all, I don't want it to stay off forever with the power doing what it wants!). So we turned in early and still slept late this morning.
Ah, maybe the power should go off more often around here, we'd get lots of sleep that way. :-)

You all need to check this one out!
Dan and I will be going to eat next week. Burger @ Perini's! Who's coming?
Hhere is the article from the Abilene Reporter News:
Perini's burger wins on TV
Perini’s special steak rub (mixed in the burger)
Sweet sourdough bun
Spicy mustard
Purple onions (grilled)
Mushrooms (grilled)
Green chiles (chopped)It’s official. Tom Perini makes the best burger maker in the land, at least according to Matt Lauer and the judges on the Today Show.
Perini, cowboy chef and owner of Perini Ranch Steakhouse, beat out two competitors — Aaron McCargo Jr., host of “Big Daddy’s House” on the Food Network, and Adam Rather from Mother’s Federal Hill Grille in Maryland. McCargo made a pizza or calzone-style burger, while Rather made his restaurant’s signature deep-fried burger “Heart Attack on a Plate.”
But the judges, Lauer, Natalie Morales and Hoda Kotb, unanimously chose Perini’s thick and juicy Texas-style burger, seasoned with his special rub and loaded down with grilled onions, mushrooms and green chilies — all on a sourdough bun.
“This is like an old-fashioned burger; there are no tricks with this,” Perini told Lauer as he formed a hamburger patty from certified Angus beef. “This is the way we made burgers years ago. It is how we get that wonderful flavor that we love in Texas.”
After Perini built the burger, it was time for the taste test.
“Can anyone actually get their mouth around this thing, other than Hoda I mean?” Lauer asked as they all took a bite.
After a short huddle, the three pronounced Perini the burger boss and presented him with a trophy plaque, complete with a burger on the front.
As they made the presentation, Bruno — aka Sacha Baron Cohen — pushed his way through the outdoor set to congratulate Perini on his win. In true Texas style, Perini, tipped his hat to the flamboyant star, who had been on the show promoting his new movie.
Perini’s burger was declared the best burger in Texas last month by the Food Network magazine, which selected the best burgers from all 50 states

What a tribute!
I got this in an email the other day and it is really good. Hadn't received it before, but it's been around since 2007. Hope you will listen/view it and enjoy it also.

Happy 4th of July! American Independence Day!
So, here we go again, another party, YEAH!!! What would we do without this day to just celebrate away!We are going to a flag raising ceremony this morning, and this afternoon we'll have our own party here! As always we will spend our time outside in the pool and under the trees in the shade :-) and in the cool water of the pool!
If you are not here, you missed it, and we are missing you ! If you are here, good for you and you will be celebrating with us.
Pictures will be posted tomorrow, as I can't post pictures of an event before the event! What fun is that?
And the food we'll have...outstanding (if everyone brings something). And luckily the weather plays along and it'll be hot today as always in Texas in the summer! FUN, FUN, FUN!
So, here it goes! Happy Independence Day to America!
Okay, it's the 5th, and here are two colages with pictures of the fun we had. First off, Dan got to do the grilling, he likes it, or so I think. Then we have the food!
Followed by our company we had, the girls love beeing in the pool and everyone else just likes the conversations going on! Hope you all had a grand time yesterday and are going to get ready for Labor Day the next big party event at our house, or maybe we'll just have to add another party in in July and August!
