Rainy daze on PH(Poverty Hill)

Hello everyone, glad you could stop by and visit a while. Things on Poverty Hill have been quiet as of lately. I've been a lil under the weather, had a few, as us PH'ers call em down days, in which I didn't feel like doing much of anything. I'm sure this hot weather has a lot to do with it and Miss Judi has had me on the run lately. Ya know doing the "honeydo" stuff....Honey do this and Honey do that! Could be that i caught the "Summertime Blues" from Tony over at Sagetree, just not quite sure what it is.
Lordy we had a big storm yesterday, thought Poverty Hill would for sure be washed away, but we put out the pots and pans to catch the water from the leaking roof, shut up the chickens so they wouldn't blow away, and hunkered down inside and watched as the lightnin was strikin all around. Levi, my trusted companion and official guard dog for Poverty Hill, hid under the table shakin all over and his eyes looked like they were gonna pop out of socket just any minute. I was about ready to join him. I haven't seen a storm with that much lightning in a long time.
Miss Judi is scared to death of bad weather, she shakes bout as bad as Levi.
I haven't heard from my kids in a week or so, I guess they're workin hard trying to support their families, so I try not to bother them. Sure do miss the Grandkids.

Well I won't keep ya, or bore ya to death, not much happening around here, but I do want to thank JenC, a wonderful PH friend of mine for taking pics at the convention in Houston. It was nice for those of us that didn't get to go to see the pictures of everyone. Hugs Jen and thanks, and tell hubby he did a good job as photographer.
We'll have to make him honorary PH PHOTO MAN.
Thanks everyone for coming by and visiting, hope you come back soon.

Another day on the Hill

Hey everyone, TW reporting from high atop Poverty Hill, MS. The temperatures are soaring........in the 90s every day, heading toward that 100 degree mark and not taking long to get here. The cows done quit mooing, the pigs are buried in the mud holes, the mule won't go, the rooster won't get up in the mornings, it's just been a mess around here. I done had to unbutton the side flaps on my overalls, whew just to hot for anything but drinkin good ole iced tea and lemonade. I gotta break out the ice cream maker and clean it up so when the Grandyounguns come I can make em some. Yeah i know they sell that store bought stuff, but it just ain't as good, specially if'n you mix in some fresh strawberries..MMMmmmmmm good stuff.
I sure hope all my fellow PH'ers aren't having as much trouble with the heat as I am. I've gotten to where I stay inside most of the time except early mornings and late afternoon. I'm sure glad that guy invented this air conditioning, makes life a lot easier. Lots better than sitting on those ice blocks we used to have.
I went to PH chat last nite and sat back and watched as the peeps there talked about that convention thang they went to in Texas, sounded like they all had a great time. I'm sure they all needed that break from the same ole every day thang. Now its back to the same ole, same ole though, just now with a lot of great memeories. I'm happy for em. I guarded the PH boards the best i could with my security system, as you might see on the left side of my page and it was never endangered for a second, I'm swelled with pride for doing such a good job. Well speaking of jobs I guess I better get back to mine, a Mayors work is never done, what with a striving neighborhood like this. Yall come back when ya can, the door is always open.

Just dabblin

Heyz everyone, hope yall are doing good. Everything is ok here on Poverty Hill, except, the mayor has an absessed tooth....ouch. Dang thang hurts too. Not much happening around here lately, just the usual beatings by Judi. We haven't been going much lately, with the price of gas so high and the mule won't go. I don't know but it seems to me like the government should get involved with the gas prices, heck they get involved with everything else, why not something that would actually do some good. I guess that would be asking too much though, that would go against their principles of holding the hand out behind the back..not that any of them would take a pay off mind you. Its just the way most politicians hold their hands, must be a club thing or somethin. I don't get into politics too much though, I found out long ago to never get involved with discussions about politics and religion.
Well both my boys called and wished me a Happy Fathers Day, which was great, but it felt funny wishing them Happy Fathers Day too....They grew up much too quick. And life goes on.
This is PHA Convention Weekend in Houston, TX. I'm sure everyone will have a great time and listen to some very informational discussions and speeches. Judi and I wanted to go really bad but sometimes things keep us from doing what we want. Life again! I've been reading posts that peeps have put on the board at PHA and the pics are great also. Hope everyone has a safe trip home with some great memeories.
Not much to say at this bloggin session, been sorta quiet, so I guess I need to get to my chores n such. Yall be good and I'll be seeing ya soon.

Life after Cath

Wavin........hey everybody, hope yall doin good today. We're finally getting a little rain here today, not much, probably just enough to make it good and humid. Nothing like fighting for a big breath of air early in the morning....lol. Well we went and got a lil cath on Wednesday morning. They had decided they were going to do a right and left Cath, but when all was done they just did a left, seeing as how I'd just had a right a couple of months ago. Everything went great, I had no blood clots and no blockages, which we were relieved about, seeing as how I'm a blood clot machine. I make em quicker than those lil elves on TV make cookies.
We were up at 3 am in the morning, i know i slept a lil late, because the lady had called and told us to be at the hospital at 5:30am. So Shane, my oldest son, Judi and I were there bright and early, well it was 6:30 before we saw anyone.....laffin.
The waiting room was full of people, not very happy people I must say, waiting on someone,,,,,anyone to show up at the front desk. Finally a lady showed up at the receptionist desk and was bombarded by people, talking in a language that shouldn't be repeated. I looked around and wondered what they were so mad about, I thought this was the way it always is. Anyway I'm fine, Judi's fine, and I've got to work extra hard to make up the time I missed away from Poverty Hill, I'm sure there were many governmental issues that needed tending too while I was gone. It's tuff being Mayor to a thriving community like Poverty Hill.
Hugs and handshakes to all of you, come by when ya can, the doors always open.

Pre Registration

Heyz everyone, hope everyone is doing good today. Well Miss Judi and I went to the Hospital today and got a few blood tests drawn in preparation of the Grand Sticking on Wednesday. I decided that we'd go ahead and pre register and get the blood test done so I wouldn't have to get it done on Wednesday morning. Oh course they were busy as they could be so we filled out all the registration paperwork and sat back out in the lobby to wait for the nurse to come get me for the bloodwork. As I sat there quietly flickin through my magazine a lady came in a sat next to me. I smiled my good mornin smile to her and went back to flickin thru my magazine. I had on my Pulmonary Hypertension Association T shirt and had thought nothing about it when the lady told me..I have that too. I looked up concerned and told her I was sorry to hear that and asked how long she'd been diagnosed with it. She told me that she'd had it for about ten years and that had been through some hard times with it and had been really sick. I listened intently to her as she told me how high her blood pressure had gotten, sometimes 170 over 100. I smiled as i knew she was talking about regular high blood pressure and didn't say anything contrary to let her know Pulmonary Hypertension was entirely different. Finally she asked, what are you here for, your blood pressure high too. I said, No Mam, I'm just here to visit a friend.
If I don't write again before Wednesday yall think about me and Judi in ya prayers, maybe they won't find any extra stuff in there. See everyone later, lotsa hugz and handshakes to yall.
