HOWARD'S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 3 VOL1
TUESDAY October 2, 2007
WEATHER; PARTLY CLOUDY, LOW HUMIDITY, 94 DEGREES
FIRST, LET ME APPOLOGIZE FOR MY MISTAKE ON THE DALLAS COWBOYS STANDINGS YESTERDAY. I PREMATURALY ANNOUNCED THEY WERE 5 & 0, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT, THEY'RE 4 & 0 AND WON'T BE 5 & 0 TILL NEXT MONDAY NIGHT!
GOT UP THIS MORNING NOT FEELING TOO GOOD BUT DOCTORED UP AND FEEL FINE NOW. MOM'S BEEN BUSY IN THE YARD, THERE'S A BLACK WALNUT TREE ON THE PROPERTY AND WHEN IT STARTS TO SHUT DOWN FOR THE YEAR YOU CAN HEAR THE WALNUTS FALLING ALL DAY AND DURING THE NIGHT. MOM AND KELLY GO OUT AND PICK THEM UP SO THEY DON'T GET IN THE MOWER BLADES. WE'VE HAD THEM BEND A BLADE AND JAM UP THE PULLEYS AND BREAK A BELT.
SHANNON HAS HAD HER OLDEST DAUGHTER, KAITLIN, AND TWO KIDS FOR HERE FROM COLORADO FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS BUT, THEY'RE LEAVING TOMORROW. THEY HAD A GOOD VISIT AND WE ALL GOT TO SEE THE BABY, TRINITY FAITH, SHE'S CUTE AS A BUGS EAR AND REAL PLEASANT.
COLLEEN AND KAITLIN MET IN TOWN TODAY SINCE COLLEEN COULDN'T BE HERE FOR THE FAMILY DAY, SHE WORKS FOR DILLARDS AND HER SCHEDULE HAD HER WORKING LAST SATURDAY. I'M SURE THEY HAD A NICE VISIT.
MIKE HAD A LOT OF STORM DAMAGE TO HIS HOUSE AND STABLE LAST WEEK AND WAS PUTTING THINGS BACK TOGETHER SATURDAY SO HE AND HIS FAMILY COULDN'T MAKE IT EITHER. MIKE WORKS TWO JOBS SO HE'S KEPT PRETTY BUSY AND WHEN HE DOES HAVE TIME OFF THERE ARE A LOT OF HONEY DO'S AND THINGS TO TAKE CARE OF AROUND THE PROPERTY.
KERRY HAS AN UNUSUAL WORK SCHEDULE, HE WORKS IN LOUISIANA FOR SIX WEEK THEN HE'S HOME IN FARMERSVILLE TEXAS FOR THREE WEEKS. WHEN HE'S OFF THEY DO A LOT OF TRAVELING AND THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE, THEN THEY GO TO MIAMI, FLORIDA WHERE DEBI'S MOTHER LIVES. HER DAD DIED A FEW MONTH BACK SO THEY'VE BEEN BUSY GOING THROUGH HIS THING AND PUTTING THE HOUSE IN SHAPE.
KERRY TOLD ME THEY FOUND A 1976 CORVETTE IN THE SHED SURROUNDED BY BOXES OF THINGS HER DAD HAD COLLECTED. DEBI USED TO DRIVE IT WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER AND I GUESS SHE THOUGHT HE HAD GOT RID OF IT BUT, THERE IT WAS. WHEN HE PUSHED IT OUT TO WHERE HE COULD CHECK IT OVER HE FOUND THE BRAKES NEEDED OVER HAULING BUT, OTHER THAN THAT AND THE INTERIOR THAT NEEDS SOME WORK IT IS IN GOOD SHAPE. HE HASN'T SAID WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO WITH IT? I THINK HE STILL HAS A 1985 CORVETTE BUT I'M NOT SURE!
A REMINDER; PEGGY IS RACING IN THE NHRA FINALS IN LAS VEGAS ON OCTOBER 11TH- 14TH. IF ANY OF YOU ARE PLANNING A VACATION OUT THAT WAY YOU MIGHT TRY TO MAKE IT TO THE RACES. I KNOW SHE WOULD LOVE TO MEET ANY OF YOU WHO CAN. REMEMBER, SHE RACES UNDER HER MARRIED NAME, PEGGY BURNS AND IS A PART OF THE "CALVERT RACING TEAM". THE GATE PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DIRECT YOU TO THE MOTOR HOME.
COLLEEN AND DICK IRVIN ARE DOING GREAT, YOU TALK ABOUT A COUPLE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER. AS I SAID EARLIER, SHE WORKS FOR DILLARDS,(HER CHOICE) AND DICK TAKES CARE OF HIS LAND , CARS AND AIRPLANE. THEY TRAVEL SOME TO VIST HIS FRIENDS FROM THE AIR FORCE AND HIS FAMILY. THEY WERE AT LILLIANS FAMILY REUNION IN STETSONVILLE WI. LAST YEAR THEN HE TOOK HER UP THE MICHIGAN U.P. TO SAULT STE. MARIE. SHE HAD NEVER BEEN THAT FAR AWAY FROM HOME BEFORE AND ENJOYED IT.
LILLIANS COUSIN BEV. WHO WE VISITED LAST AUGUST AND LIVES IN EL PASO, TEXAS HAD SOME BAD WEATHER LAST WEEK. THE HOUSE GOT HIT WITH BASEBALL SIZE HAIL THAT REALLY TORE THINGS UP. SHE SAID THE ROOF HAS GOT TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS TWO SKY LIGHTS AND OTHER YARD DAMAGE.
AND HERE WE SET, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN AREA THAT HAS EXPERIENCED BAD WEATHER AND A LOT OF DAMAGE. WHERE WE LIVE IS PROTEDTED BY THE RED RIIVER AND LAKE TEXOMA. WHEN WE MOVED HERE MRS. LEE TOLD US THE HEAT RISES OFF THE RED RIVER AND WARDS OFF ANY WEATHER FROM THE SOUTH AND THE SAME THING GOES FOR THHE LAKE, IT PROTECTS US FROM THE NORTH. WE DON'T GET TO MUCH BAD WEATHER FROM THE EAST OR WEST PLUS WE HAVE REAL TALL TREES SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY. I'M NOT SAYING A DIRECT HIT BY A TORNADO COULDN'T GET TO US BUT WE'VE HAD REPORTS OF 80-100 MILE AN HOUR WINDS LESS THAN ¼ MILE FROM US AND WE MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN 20-30 MILE AN HOUR WINDS. NOW, WHERE IS SOME WOOD SO I CAN KNOCK ON IT.
WELL THAT'S '30' FOR THIS ISSUE.
HOWARD
