Neenastar says "I Like My Rita with a Little Salt on the Edges"

Once again the Sabs are on their way. They have now been in the car for about 16 hours. Macy has had enough of that car seat. Thank goodness for Barney and Cinderella. They did get to rest some at Aunt Ashley's and Uncle B's before heading out again. Last time I talked to them about 2o minutes ago ( It is now almost 8PM ) they were moving along for the first time about 5o mph. That is progress. If they can stay on country roads and weave their way through they should be able to make it here by 10????? We'll see. Thanks for all the prayers for them. Now, we have to get everybody home after this mess. It looks like our area is not going to be hammered as bad as first thought. We will get rains and high winds but that should be all. We are anxious to watch the next update on the weather to see where Rita is going. More from Neena central later.

Oh my......another busy Sunday that always goes something like this........Church....eat.......nap........church........eat again. Boring as it sounds, my spiritual battery is charged and I am ready for another week....I started the day wearing my new prescription contacts. I know that there is a time frame for getting "used" to them however I don't think that on Day 4 I should still be almost blind. I was totally frustrated in church because I couldn't even read the power point...Good thing I knew all the songs by heart today. Funny things about all old hymns. I really did know all the words to al the verses. I believe that is proof that I was born on the pew so to speak. Anyway, I got home this morning and dug around for my old lenses ( I saved them for an emergency ) and VIOLA. I can see again. I will be calling Texan Eye Care in the morning.

It is Saturday again! I hate to admit that sometimes the days just fly by. Paps and I had our usual Saturday night date to Walmart. We even stopped by and had dinner at Schlotzkey's. What a night. Almost more than I could stand. When you get past the age of &Y&#@^&^$^)# it doesn't take much to get the old blood pressure up. However, Saturdays are also lonesome days. During the week, my empty nest isn't so bad. But, on Saturdays when I am knocking around in this big old house all day I miss the noise of life. The noise of slamming doors, blasting radios, arguing brothers and sisters ( who????), phones ringing, TV's up too loud, messy messy bedrooms, refrigerator doors being opened and closed a milion times and the always favorite comment, "There is never anything in this house to eat". Now, the sound of silence is almost as loud as the life that was once here. I always miss my kids........although I have resigned that they are not ever coming back to live here. Now, I especially miss my precious Reid and Macy. I wish we lived closer so I could to ballgames, visit at school, go to the movies, and Macy's dance practice.......and of course babysit when needed. Oh well......like I said, it is Saturday again. But, I am so blessed that I had all those Saturdays in the past.......The ones where I was SO TIRED from a wild week. BUT..... Tomorrow is the BUSY day.......as we used to say...church, eat, nap and church. Those are all scriptual things that have to be in that order on Sundays!!!!

Where in the world have I been? I can't believe that I haven't written anything in almost a year. Mainly because I am still not real sure what I am doing! If this works, then I may become a regular. I spend enough time sitting here at night reading the blogs of family I may as well join the blogwagon. Gotta go to Austin tomorrow to the Dr. so I took off the day. I don't look forward going to Austin like I used to. I can't even twist anyone's arm to go with me. Except I know my precious Mom would if I asked. But, I'll be rushing around so it's best I just jet off on my own. I need to take my camera to repair....I need to trade hubby's cell phone ( yes, Whitney, the OLD one ) and I need to go exchange a skirt that I thought would fit.......what size was I thinking I was? Then I have to be back here in time for Bible Study at my house. So, how was this for my first blog? Too informational, I think. I do have a deep side .....somewhere. I am sure you will discover it if you hang onto Neena's Nest.
