Happy Birthday Trent
Another year has flown by. Trent made 24 today. And he's the baby.
We celebrated eating out at Don's, had Baskin & Robbins ice cream cake, a ton of presents, and a lot of fun.
Where does the time go!. You are a great son and we are so proud of you!
Wishing you a great day and many more.
Love, Mom, Dad, Jennifer, Brandon, Julie

About the cow
Regarding my previous post about all the truck accidents, I do have a report on the cow that was involved.
As the story went, there was one large cow standing in the road. And as the driver rounded the curve (at the posted speed limit) there before his very eyes was this large longhorn Texas cow just standing there.
Brakes were applied, in hopes of avoiding the accident, but unfortunately the poor cow was hit. And sadly did not recover. The cow died in the accident.
It might as well been a whole herd of cattle. Picture this as you are driving down the road.
And you just can't avoid the situation.

Geez, gosh
Remember this:
Well it now looks like this.
Trent hit a cow. That's what happens at 5am in the morning in the rural area 10 minutes from your house. Not just any cow, it was reported, but a huge long horn cow that was just there in the middle of the road and nothing you could do.
And this one:
Now looks like this:
Larry wrecked this one on his way home from work. That's what happens in the middle of no where between Baton Rouge and the MS state line.
These happened about 2 weeks apart. The most important thing - no one hurt and that's why we have insurance.

One true fan
One lucky TIGER sent me this picture of the LSU game in person in Washington played this weekend.
I knew she was on vacation in Seattle, Oregon, and CA and she had shown and told a lot of the places they were going and what they would be doing. But she didn't even mention this. I was surprised to say the least when I got this picture via cell camera.
Just a picture. No text, no words, no nothing! But then, the picture says it all and I didn't need any text. I knew she was there and cheering on the tigers.
I did text her back "U lucky tiger, U!!!!!
See all the purple there. I thought there sure are a lot of LSU fans there. But I find out that Washington is also purple.
Go here to check out her vacation story before they actually left on vacation. Even though I know it was her husband's idea to attend the game. But why not, since you're already there, and your vacation was already scheduled around the date and location. Go figure! It couldn't have worked out better. Wish I was there!
And of course, LSU won!!!!!!!!

Something new
We had to do this today. We had no choice and couldn't think about it twice. So we are gone shopping.
We got up this morning and the fridge was on the blink. Constantly running, kept hearing a drip, drip, drip. Couldn't be fixed. I don't know if I was excited or sad. Excited to get a brand new modern 21st century refrig or sad to have to spend that much money.
But since we had no choice, here it is.
Now, you are asking yourself why didn't she get the new stainless still look? Well, I was going too, then I changed my mind, then I chose the stainless still again, then not. Decisions, decisions -- didn't know which to choose. The pros would be 1) stainless still is the most popular, 2) stainless steel looks fabulous; 3) everybody has the stainless steel or wants it. The cons would be 1) all my other appliances are new and they are white, 2) stainless steel takes a little more money 3) my kitchen is not a stainless still match.
So, after a few phone calls to see what "they" would choose, I choose white. Even though my phone consultations were split between white, black and stainless.
Jennifer was there when we brought it home. So I insisted she help me load the new one up with the stuff from the old one. She didn't mind, she just said "tell me in advance when ya'll are in work mode around here." We kind of catagorized the shelves. Like in the freezer - one shelf for chicken, one for beef, one for pork, one for veggies, one for desserts. one for misc. And the same for the fridge side.
Now, I love home magazine pictures. They are just so "perfect". So now I want my refrig to always look like this:
Or this:
In the end it is a good investment and I do like it.
It's the side by side, fridge on one side, freezer on the other, ice and water dispenser on door, nice, nice. I know, I know it's just a fridge!
And I'm trying to keep up with Brandon and Julie. They got a brand new stainless steel fridge last weekend! Theirs is gorgeous (as gorgeous as a fridge can be).

Star Status
This is Molly, a Poo-Chon (part poodle-part bichon). Molly (Jennifer's dog) made her debut on a pet friendly blog.
Go here to see her.
Thank you Lani for finding Molly's story on my blog and asking to use her on the doggie blog.

The Destroyer
How does this sweet innocent little face . . . . . . .
turn into this destructive wild thing?
I see toilet paper scattered everywhere. . . hair equipment cord on the floor . . . and looks like that's not all. Molly is left alone all day while Jennifer is at work. She is usually put in her doggie house because she is known to be a destroyer at times. But some magical way she opens her doggie house door and escapes. And this is what Jennifer comes home to on occasion. Never really knowing what she will find when she gets home. And never really knowing if Molly escaped her doggie house during the day.
Memo to Molly: sometimes we just don't need to come home to a messy house at 5pm. We may have company, you know!

All Washed Up
A hot summer August day, working up a sweat, running here and there. We are drinking water, running water, using water constantly all day.
Trent's home. He's got a dirty truck, with a truck load of dirty laundry.
He's washing his truck inside and out. And I'm washing the laundry.
Molly also dropped by with Jennifer. She needs a bath, too. So in the tub she goes. She comes out so clean, fluffy, and smelly good!
We gotta eat you know. Then there's a sink of dirty dishes to wash.
Stop and think how much water a household uses in one day. It's just non stop, if you are actually doing something around the house. Our water is not measured by a water bill. We have a private water well. So I feel like "free" water all day. Even though Larry tells me it cost electricity to run the pump, that pulls the water from the ground, that fills the water tank that supplies the kitchen and the bathroom and the outside faucets. Ok, don't use the water unnecessary is the moral to this.
But, with the 3 hurricanes swirling out there, we should definitely have no shortage of water in the ground.
