Well.....I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, Ours was kinda quiet, my brother and his wife, from El Paso, drove in for the holidays. I am waiting for a couple of more pieces of furniture to be delivered, today.....then we are all going to the gun range to shoot my new Lady Bushmaster that Jimmy gave me! (I know, I know, "only in Texas") it weighs only 4 pounds! I will post some pictures, when we get back.....then, tomorrow, we plan to all drive down to Austin to see our other brother and his girlfriend. After a few days, they will go back to El Paso, from there, and we will head back home on Sunday or Monday. I will be posting some pictures from that too....so stay tuned!!!!!


Have a Happy New Year Everyone!

Well. I've been really bad on keeping up with the blog, but, Hopefully, I will be better in the coming year!

The month of December has been a little busy..... We started off the month buying a houseful of new furniture, before the house is even built, yet. (The infamous "house at the lake" that we plan to build). Maybe that will spur us to start designing it! Anyway, a piece or two has been delivered, The furniture store is keeping it in the warehouse, until we can receive it. This will be after we have moved the current furniture into the 45 foot container (yes, like the ones you see on a train), that Jimmy has placed in the yard, at the shop. The furniture is MASSIVE, so I don't think we'll have room for all of it, here at this house. We plan to , hopefully, start building the house before the end of the summer. I've included a picture of the sideboard.....


Then, Jimmy's newest project, is installing a new Hydrogen system on the trucks that is supposed to improve fuel mileage by 27 percent. The company is outfitting about 40 trucks to run a test for 6 months.....this could be helpful for us when our weekly fuel bill is $4000.
