We went to the lake, for the weekend. Couldn't take the boat out, because it was being worked on, but we really enjoyed the bluebonnets everywhere. The lake was soooo overfull, they had the gates open and were releasing water in to the Brazos river, below.
Had a nice weekend, great weather, home Sunday night......bus goes into the shop at Marathon on Monday, to fix some electrical issues and I will be checking some doctors to fix my medical "issues".
More later.

Here's a picture of the Daddy duck sitting vigil!

Well, after being gone for the weekend, we came home to find only 3 eggs in the nest, but no broken shells! Then, this morning, there were only two......I guess I have to believe she is moving them somewhere. Darn it! I really wanted to see the hatchlings!

We headed up to TMS on Thursday to meet with friends for dinner at Babe's Fried Chicken (THE best fried chicken....ever!) and get ready for the race weekend!
Friday was the Qualifying for both leagues and Nationwide league practice.
HOWEVER, it started raining on Friday night and rained and rained and rained....the entire weekend!!! Sooooo, the races (both Cup and Nationwide) were postponed until Monday.

New tires!!

Well, after a nice weekend, we went home, spent a day and half, then got a phone call at 1 a.m......
Our friend John, from Ruidoso, (the quadriplegic) was being taken by ambulance to El Paso, with 104 temperature, some infection and pneumonia.
We had a new truck to sign papers on, etc. then, needless to say, loaded up the bus, and off we went to El Paso.
About Big Spring, (4 hours) Jimmy hit the brakes and pulled off on the side of the road......the Jeep, we were towing behind us, had a big blowout and tore up the front fender, etc. of the jeep. So we had to stop, change the tire and us Duct tape to hold the fender together!
Off we go, again, then!!........about 9 pm, outside Odessa, where there are ABSOLUTELY no lights, no cars....nothin'! we're going about 75 m.p.h. and all the lights go out! headlights, etc. TALK ABOUT SCARY~
Can't see the road or anything! All we could do was pull right a little bit, until we hit the rumble strips on the side of the road and "feel" our way to a stop! WHEW! JEEZ......how frightening! Jimmy got out and found a problem with the relay switches, so he stole the one from my dishwasher and fixed it!

After getting to El Paso at 2 am, and a short sleep, we were off to the hospital, where he was in ICU. Jimmy stayed, and I left (had the dogs with me) since there was nowhere to sit and hospitals creep me out anyway, after my stroke and Mom's death.
He spent most of the day and I went and had dinner with my brother and his wife. He called me to go pick him up at about 10 pm.
They took John to emergency surgery the next morning and removed his Gall Bladder. It had gangrene!!
The crisis had passed, along with all the other inept B.S. that happens in a hospital...it was decided to keep him until Monday or so.

Well, we had a nice Sunday brunch at the club, and Jimmy wanted to play his first round of golf, this year......He had his own Easter Egg hunt, as he spent a lot of time looking for the little white ball, in the bushes and over the cliffs..ha!ha!
Even a little lizard was watching! Wonderful day.

More pretty Easter Pictures!

A few days before Easter Sunday, we noticed a couple of Mallard ducks have been coming and playing in our pool every morning. So when Jimmy was out cleaning the pool, as he walked by the planter, a duck flew out! Yep! You guessed it! We have ELEVEN EASTER EGGS! The mama was sitting on them in the planter!! I'm so excited, I don't know when they'll hatch, so we gotta watch them closely!

The next surprise was Jimmy removing one of the couches from the bus and we bought 2 recliners, instead.
Aside from the wonderful leather smell, the recliners are WONDERFUL! They add a lot more room and Jimmy had to have one of them (the huge one) as a special massage recliner! He also, redid all of the clear plastic flooring to protect the sculptered carpet...., also got the washer/dryer fixed in the bus (yea!!!)

This is how the couch came out and the big recliner went into the bus! through the window!!!!

This was my 25th Anniversary Surprise! Pretty, huh?
