No Parking for ME?!

No parking for motorcycles SuzukiSome people at work didn’t like that I was parking out front, taking a WHOLE parking spot for a motorcycle [that’s what it’s for] and so they created a sign for me…

Of course all this is a joke.

I was parking around back, but decided as long as the bike was parked in the shade, and not direct sunlight, it should be okay.

It’s been around 75-80 everyday and it makes for nice riding weather; I still have to ride in when it’s 50+..

The unpacking continues… and please welcome Cooper

imageWe’ve been in our new house for a little over a week. We are still in the process of rebuilding. You’d think by now we would have this process down to a science.

But while we’re old pros at this; we’re old pros at this… I think this time we are going to pace ourselves.

Beck already has ideas of grandeur, but as usual, I think she’s going to start out with a few coats of paint here and there. She just hasn’t kept quiet about all the things she wants to change… We think about things the same way, but not on the same schedule.

Todo, we didn’t make it to… we’re okay and still here.

This past week we had some excitement. We had a tornado strike down in Frisco TX. Britty told me there was some bad weather comin’ in, but… I didn’t think much of it as it was nice when I drove in from work.. but…

I was out back and really quick the weather got bad and I went to grab the video camera… the skies went from nice and clear to dark and very windy.

I managed to get a few videos.

This is while the tornado was coming.. the winds were pickin’ up and startin’ to throw stuff around the yard and the rain was startin’ to com in sideways.

 

I tried to save the gazebo, but it didn’t make it. The winds picked it up and slammed it to the ground.. gone was the daily shade maker. bye bye.

 

The winds were still kickin around and the signs and trees around the ‘hood were flapping back and forth…

 

This is the weird sunset after the twister was gone. Every thing was clear and the skied were this orange’y glow.. the camera doesn’t do it justice.. but…

 

Everyone is okay, a few things broken, but we are just fine.

 

Until next time,

Call us ‘Country’

imageThe week started off getting to know some of our new neighbors; they’re kinda’ long in the horn, but they keep to their selves and they keep their grass mowed.

They have a nice little yard on the corner and they seem to like saying hi to all the people as they turn in to the neighborhood.

But they come out when they want… and no one argues with them.

We Were driving down the road and caught this picture of a fluffy purple flower.

We were sitting at a red light and we just happen’d to have our camera.

Becca snatched up the camera and took a cool little picture; I think it turned out pretty good considering we started moving just as she snapped the shot.

Haven’t figure out what it is yet.

image Texas is hard on gardens [small ones any ways]. So I decided that till’n up the ground and weeding and all that stuff wasn’t for me.

I decided to go down to Lowes and spend about $50 on a garden box. 3  1 x 10 x 6’s and cut one in half an put 3 3” screws in each corner, placed a liner in there and dumped 6 bags of miracle grow in my private little Eden.

We’re going to be having cilantro, jalapenos, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, banana peppers, herbs and cantaloupe.

 

Some nice shots of Ethan; he likes to help and give things a go..

We had a garage sale this weekend, or Becca did. Came rain and shine and people still showed up in droves and car loads.

I never ceases to amaze me on the people who come to a yard sale that have rock bottom prices and want to haggle over 25 cents; it’s insane.

I took a picture of the from bushes that still had water on them from the recent rain; it turned out good I think.
