What Happens When You Get 2 Days of Rain?

Sunday and Monday it rained ALL day. When I left for work Monday morning I decided that it should NOT be called a driving rain, the term should be called "Anti-Driving" rain. Why? Because everyone in the world loses the ability to drive when a little bit of water is falling from the sky. It's like everyone becomes turkeys when the clouds unleash their fury. For any of you that do not understand the turkey similie, domesticated turkey will actually look to the sky during a rain storm and drown).

I had to drive through water over the road 5 times before I got to one crossing that I wasn't sure if I could make it. The little news flash came into my mind, DO NOT CROSS HIGH WATER! So, even though I was only 1 mile from the freeway I take to get to Houston I turned around and drove about 8 miles out of my way to get to that destination. But hey, my car still runs! Unlike a lot of other cars owned by idiots around this area. I got to work and had to hear city folk complain about how much water they had in their areas.

Well, to give you an idea of how much water there is in my area..... I drove to McDonald's to pick up some food for my kids (for 2 reasons, 1. didn't want to cook and 2. Monopoly game retirement!) and on my way back home I was literally thrown into the movie Deliverance! I was about to turn on "the spur" and what do I see, but 2 grown men in a John Boat paddling in the ditch. One of the neighbor children came to the house and we were telling her what we saw. I exclaimed.."You might be a redneck.....!" And she came back with "The Danbury Hillbillies!" and we all started mocking the banjo picking! It was hilarious! Redneckville!

First Deer of the Season

YEAH!!! Fresh venison. My husband shot his first buck with a bow over the weekend. That's a huge deal to me. It's only his 3rd year to bow hunt. He had to track it and everything, which required a little assistance from my Daddy. My husband said "You're dad did a great job tracking that deer!" With the amount of sarcasm in our family I had to ask if he was being sarcastic. That question led to the complete itinerary of the tracking. In the middle of it I just cracked up laughing. He asked me "What's so funny?" I said, "Maybe it's my daddy's indian heritage that makes him such a great tracker." My husband didn't find that too amusing. But my dad laughed his butt off when I told him what I said.

I was completely expecting to hear about throwing dirt up in the air and sniffing a licking and stuff. That is how detailed Jase usually gets. But none of that stuff occurred, evidently. Anyhoo, yum fresh venison. And anyone who doesn't like it has either never tried it, can't cook it, or just has a whole "I can't eat Bambi attitude".
