Greyhound Rescue

At my pet store they were hosting a special day to raise awareness of the greyhounds that have been rescued from abusive breeders at racetracks. The rescue people brought about 10 greyhounds into the store and let people pat them and get to know the dogs. It was an enlightening moment for me. I fell in love with one of the brown females. If I had a fenced back yard, there is no doubt in my mind that I would have brought her home with me on the spot.

Heat Wave

This heat is really wearing me out. There has been no break in these high temperatures all summer. I do not remember when was the last time the daily high was under 90 degrees. I sure do appreciate my air conditioning this year.

Movie Night

Keekee — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 22:17:21 +0000

Years ago, movie night meant it was Friday night and that a bunch of us were going to meet up at the theater after work to watch a new release on the big screen. Then if became the night that my boyfriend and I reserved for a date each week, with a quick dinner at a casual restaurant and a late movie at the theater.

Now it means a quick stop at the gas station or drug store to rent a $1 movie from the Redbox vending machine. I’ll watch the movie on my TV in bed and munch on a bowl of popcorn that I make in the microwave.

Times sure do change.

Cherry Sprite

The grocery store had bottled coke products on sale, so I stocked up today. I had to buy 4 cases of soda, so I decided to try the new flavor, Cherry Sprite. It was a bargain at 4 cases for $10, so I went for it. Even if I don’t like it, which I’m pretty sure I will, I can always give it to the kids to drink as a treat.

LOVE the Fireworks!

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. It’s always a happy celebration no matter what your religion or family has to do with it. There are fireworks, parades and picnics. It’s a great day.

More Stimulus Programs

Keekee — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:35:43 +0000

The Federal Government has promised more money to the citizens in the form of tax credits for appliances that have an energy star rating. The Feds left the details up to each state, so I am trying to find out what my state is going to do. I sure would like to buy a new refrigerator, and if I can get a rebate or tax credit for that, it would help me out a LOT!

Spring Break

Keekee — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:30:36 +0000

Next week is the spring break for our schools. This is not true for every county, the breaks seems to be staggered throughout the month of March. Of curse, we are accustomed to having spring break start the week before Easter, but since Easter is so very late this year, they can’t wait that long for the break. So ours is starting this Friday with just a half day of school and then all of next week the kids are off!

Love Me Some Willie

Keekee — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:30:44 +0000

I just learned that Willie has released a new album. I can’t wait to hear it! I have loved Willie Nelson since I was a very little girl. I wonder if he is going out on tour again this year to promote the new album? Hope so!

Name a Song

Keekee — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 19:35:52 +0000

Each week a friend of mine who hosts an internet radio show will send out an email blast about his show. He wants to remind people to listen, but he also wants to stimulate discussions, so he asks a question in the email and reads a bunch of the answers on air. Today he wanted everyone to name a song with the word or a variation of the word “rain” in it. My first thought was “Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head,” from the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid movie.
