Life in the south

Hey Y'all,
Went to my dads house and met my brother this morning. We had to cut the bottom off the doors to a little out building. We got out there about ten before it got too hot. We were sweating. We did some running around my dads town and taking care of buisness. Came home and relaxed. I took a afternoon nap.

When we came home this afternoon our cats kittens were poking their heads out from under the trailer at the entrance we made in the skirting. this is the first time we have seen them. There is a gray tabby that is bold and would come out more than the others. There is a orange and white tabby and a calico. C and I watched them for a long time under their mothers ever watchful eye.

We went out to our local restaurant and had a wonderful supper with K and J. After that we went to Harvey's grocery store and dollar general. It is still muggy outside and the temps are in the 80's after night fall.

Just another day at Cornbread's.
Y'all take it easy,

Summer time in the swamp

Hey Y'all,
I thought we were going to have a busy day today, but it turned out pretty relaxing. We slept in and didn't get going till sometime a little before noon. I went to the building supply store here and bought a broadcast spreader and some ant killer for the yard. We are getting overrun with ants. They are really bad this year. I called terminix to have them come out and spray the house next week. We have been wanting to get on a pest control plan for awhile but have been putting it off. With this ant invasion it is now necessary.

We went to a bike night/ bike show with my chapter of the club tonight. It was at a cafe/bar near here. We had a good time and the food was great!. I was feeling dizzy all night. I don't know if it was from the heat or my sugar was wacky. On the way home I had to pull off the interstate and puke a little. Not much, only a mouthful or so. I didn't want to spit it out at 70 miles a hour and it hit C on the back of the bike. I have to live with her. I am home and cooled down and feeling OK now. I still had a good time and am glad we went.

I am getting re hydrated from sweating so much. C is in the watching her wedding planner show. She watched her favorite show deadliest catch earlier.

Well Y'all take it easy!

Long ol' day at the swamp

Hey Y'all,
C and I went into Savannah this morning for a doctor appointment I had. We got up early and didn't have a lot of sleep from the night before. We came home and had PBJ's for lunch.

One of my brothers from the club came over and cut our grass today. He helped me get the lawn jockey out of the back of C's car.

We got some rain this afternoon. I laid down in my chair and took a nap. We had supper later on and one of K's friends came over and ate with us.

After that we went to wal mart and picked up some things and came home. We are relaxing now. I am tired and yawning. C is in there watching tv. I am going to get in bed by 2, I hope.

Well Y'all take it easy!

Southern white boy and proud of it!

Don't worry I don't hate 'em all, there is just a whole pile of them I don't like.

Nathan Bedford Forrest was the supposed founder of the Ku Klux Klan. He denied any involvement in the organization. He was a plantation owner in the south. One of the south's richest men that enlisted in the confederate army. He went from a enlisted man to a general without any formal military training. He became a well established and successful military man. After the war he had several failures and finally died of complications from diabetes. To this day his legacy and name is controversial.

I of course don't believe in the KKK, Arian nation or any group of zealots, religious, political or social. I do however condem the people I see sometimes on a day to day basis acting stupid. And there is a whole pile of them. I can't help it if a lot of them I see acting that way are black. Oh there are white ones, Mexican, etc. I don't classify them and call them names until they piss me off.

That's why I got me a lawn jockey. It is a symbol of a bygone era with roots back to general Washington. It's also offensive to a lot of black people. I detest the blacks in my neighbourhood that sell drugs, hang out in the middle of the street, talk so loud at night I can hear them down the block in my front yard, have a bad attitude and accuse the white cops here of abuse. The NAACP marched on my town because of a situation that happened in my neighbourhood. The lawn jockey is my quiet contempt for what I see happening here. And it will look cool out in the front yard beside my no#20 cast iron cook pot!

Way down yonder in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten, look away, look away, Dixie land.

Day of rest in the swamp

Hey Y'all,
I slept the day away today. I finally crashed and burned after the great week we had. We went to supper with R and C at a seafood restaurant. It was really good. After that we went to the movies. C and C saw a chick flick. Me and R went to see transformers. It was so bad that after about 10 minutes of it I told R I was going to smoke, went to the truck and fell asleep. I hated leaving him like that but I just couldn't take it. I guess if I was a little kid playing with transformers, I would think it was cool. Movies like that just don't do anything for me.

After the movie, C and I went by dads house and checked it out and came on home. It is still hot outside even after night fall.Now I am relaxing, on my own computer and having a great evening. Carrie is in there on her computer and relaxing.

Well Y'all, Take it easy!

Back home in the swamp

Hey Y'all,
We made it back home this evening. C and I both a wore slap out. We had a great week thou and are glad we went. My trip to the VA went well today. Had a good visit with the doctor.I am glad we are home now. It's nice to get away. It's nice to come home too.

While we were on our trip we stopped by several road side places that sells concrete statues and statuettes. I got a lawn jockey, about 4 feet tall, black as the ace of spades for my front lawn. The place I got it from was really neat. The guy had all kinds of statues. I wanted to buy one that was a little black boy grinning from ear to ear and eating a watermelon slice. C wouldn't let me. They also had a statue of a Klansman in a sheet and hood. They had hogs riding motorcycles. They had all kinds of animals. The guy that owned the place was a trip. Good ol' boy. He had a white dog with a black head he named obama. he said he was a little bit black, a little bit white and everybody thinks he's cute, so he named him obama. LOL I got a chuckle.

Well Y'all it's late and I'm tired. I think I'm going to watch a little tv with my wife and go to sleep.

Take care!

Out of town with computer server problems

Hey Y'all,
I have been having problems with the alltel server and getting online. I will have to straiten it out when I get back. I am using the hotels server right now.

We are in Helen Ga right now. We had supper with C's parents at Edelweiss tonight. After that we went to the auction. We are back now and relaxing.

We stayed last night at our friends A and C who live up in North Ga. We got up early and headed to the Atlanta VA so C my wife could see the doctor. It went well. After that we headed up to Helen and stopped by C's parents on the way here.

Before that we were at my brother R's in Tennessee. He has a really nice house in a nice neighbourhood. I slept on the porch with the frogs hollering in the cool of the night. It was peaceful.

On the way to our friends C and A's, we went over a mountain pass and C got some pictures. If I won the lottery I would like to buy some property on the side of that mountain overlooking the valleys and mountains in the background. It was beautiful up there and C and I were awestruck at some of the views.

In the morning we will head out to Augusta for my appointment at the VA there. I am ready to get to the house and just crash and burn. It's been wonderful!

Well Y'all Take it easy!

Aint's in my paints

Hey Y'all,
We were getting ready to leave the house this morning. I pulled on my shorts and ants started coming out everywhere! C yelled at me to pull them off and shake them out. I ripped them bad boys off and oh man! Them ants had teeth like alligators! I let out a tarzan yell and went to swattin'. We got them sprayed that were on the floor and I put my shorts in the dryer to get them out. I kept thinking I felt them ants crawling all over me all day today.

We went to the big city and did some shopping. Stopped by big lots and then went to the outlet stores. We had a good time. It was hot outside and after awhile Carrie and I got tired and came home.

Well That has been my day. Hope yours was good!

4th of July at the swamp

Hey Y'all,
We went over to friends house for the 4th today. We had a good time but it was too hot. We were thinking about going with them to see fireworks but decided not to because of the heat. I had got overheated by the time we left and needed to get into the air conditioning. I was starting to feel bad and my stomach was getting queasy.

We are home now. I have been in the A/C awhile and took a nap. I am feeling better. All the restaurants around here are pretty much closed up. Supper tonight was a PBJ sandwich. I guess you can't have everything.

Well Y'all take care!
