Start of a wonderful day

Boy howdy, let me tell ya, we finally got some rain after over 7 months. Weren't a whole lot, but it were rain....heavy rain....for a whole 10 to 15 minutes. Maybe just enough to make the weeds sprout out the ground. This may be my test for all the salt I spread all over the yard. Will weeds come up....that's the question.

Was a wonderful 68 degs when I roll out of bed this morning. That's "da porch" time weather, so I went out there and done some think'n. Damn I spend a lot of time think'n. But in the long run, it pays off. Bout 10 am I says..."do I go visit Wayne today or wait till thursday?  Since it was such a nice cool day I head 'em up to Las Cruces. Not sure where I were go'n, but in a hour and a half, I were there.

Now you talk bout a guy what can smile, old "pesky neighbor" Wayne had one from ear to ear. Then he says...."lookie here" and he raise up his arm....then the other one. Just in the last few days, he is regain'n movement what he didn't have last week. I ain't say'n that it's a miracle, but hot damn, in another week he'll be comb'n his hair....and feed'n himself with his own two hands. Then he says, "did ya bring Sadie Mae"? Well I had left her at home 'cause I had a couple other places to go in Las Cruces......too hot in car. Check with the head nurse lady and she say I can bring dogs, cats, horses and mules to visit. Well, not too sure if I understood the horses and mules, but I knows I hear right bout dogs and cats.

Well, it seems that "they", who ever they is, is gonna take everything Wayne owns to pay for his rehab bill. You know, like they do in a nursing home. The VA is still refusing to help him with anything at all. Not only will his bank'n account be deflated, but his 5th wheel rv (his home), his truck and anything else they can get their hands on that may be worth a dollar or more. Don't know exactly how we gonna deal with this new set back, but old Billy Bob gonna do what he can. Done moved some of the stuff I just bought off'n Wayne, then tomorrow gotta move my brand spank'n new storage shed and start fill'n it up with all my new tools. Look like it gonna be quite an ordeal. If I miss my Texas trip, it's worth it to help out a friend.

Last thing Wayne say to me when I left....."when ya gonna come back...and bring Sadie Mae". Must remember to take my camera.
