Another BO Adventure


I just received one of those calls where you just know something is wrong.
Sherrill: "JUDY, do you know what time it is?"
Me: Yes Sherrill it is 7 o'clock.......what's wrong.
Sherrill: "Did you realize I left for work way to early?"
Me: Yes dear, I asked you why you were leaving early, and you said they close at 9:00 tonight, so you      
        were going to get there early.
Sherrill: "Well why did you let me leave at 6:15 then? ? ? ? I called my man and asked him why he
        wasn't here yet."
Me: That's OK dear, just get your prep work done, have some chicken, and wait until 9:00.

This change of shifts is really confusing him. I hope he survives through it.
Remind me to tell you about the night I almost called 911.

A New Discovery


I did one of those Facebook test....... the ones that I NEVER do. It showed a series of shapes, etc. each one with one just a little different. I picked out EVERY SINGLE one! No wonder I am so OCD about food in my kitchen cabinets and pantry. Well, now I know.

Fat Boy's Birthday is Thursday. Kelli, please get Blake to give him a call. I am quite sure they have lots of things to discuss!

True Story

Kat was out this week with one of the employees that works for the same nonprofit she does. They were out working, and stopped at KFC. Now, the man is a man, but wears make-up, pulls his hair back in a scrunchy, wears women's blouses, and blue jeans. Kat was making her way to the bathroom,
and he was following behind. As she enters the one toilet, one sink restroom, she turns around and there he is! So, what do you do...... welcome him on in.......ask him to leave......... what is politically correct? We know how North Carolina feels about the situation, but what about YOU?

Oh Kathy

You've been hiding pics from us sweetie!!!  Good thing dad taught you how to paint huh???  

Yep, I did it again


Yesterday when I got home from work, I was loading up my purse, lunch, drink, water bottle, mail, etc and made my way to the back door. I made it up the steps, unlocked the door, left foot over the threshold, then it happens! The heel of my right foot got stuck under the screen door, off flew my shoe, and there was nothing to grab hold of. I was half in, and half out the door. The left knee was hurting, and the heel of the right foot. "That Stupid Sherrill", I just had to yell out. I had been asking for rails at the front and back door, just in case I needed them. So, yes, I said the "Stupid" word that I know is not allowed. This morning as I hobbled to my chair he just looked at me. "I wouldn't be hurting today if I had a rail at the back door" was all I said. He picked up the phone book and called a man that does iron and metal work. I just might get those rails after all!

As I sat in the chair thinking over yesterday events I realized I had unloaded cases of food from my car into the food pantry at work. The case of sugar itself weighed 40-50 pounds. Perhaps that is what caused some of the original pain to my left knee. Maybe the old man isn't the "S" work after all.
So, I am fixing his favorite meal for dinner tonight.

Oh, he is working night shift tonight, spray painting the Bojangles in Princeton. Wonder how many cars he will damage? Any volunteers to go guard him? I told him he could get robbed or knocked in the head.

Oh NO...........


Can you diagnosis the medical emergency here?
Jack has kidney stones, stones in his bladder, a very much enlarged bladder, and even a stone lodged in his penis. When they tried to catheterize him, it couldn't be inserted. So they had to force the stone backwards to his bladder. They knocked him out before they did it though.
If he doesn't start back peeing on his own, he has to go in for surgery to remove the stones from his bladder. Look on You Tube to see how they do that! Pa is sad....... so sad.

Hermine Came, and Left


Why is it that storms always like to arrive at night? Sherrill was testing out his generator yesterday morning, and broke it. Then he had to carry it to Eddie the lawnmower man to fix it. We got it back,
and were ready for anything.......except rain. The way the rain falls off of the roof in an L-shape, all of the water comes down right at the sliding glass door in the dining room. We have had a leak at the top of the door once before, and guess what, it came back! At 10:00 pm last night, in the rain, Sherrill was on top of the roof covering it with plastic. Still rain was coming inside.
So, I took my trusted hospital table, rolled it in front of the door, and put plastic Gladware all along one section, touching the glass. Then I taped it to the glass. Drip. Drip. Drip. That was the sound for the night. I threw a beach towel on the floor just in case.
I was up throughout the night checking on things, and still the Drip, Drip, Drip. This morning when I got up and removed the towel, there was a little damage done to the hardwood floors.
I told Sherrill we needed to replace the door, and see what damage had been done. He reminded me we are getting shingles in a couple of months, but I don't think I want to wait. I need a new door, and shingles. Just ANYTHING to keep this rain out!
