Bit of drama here in the slums yesterday afternoon.

Back neighbours have always been trouble and that particular rental house has a knack of always attracting the wrong sorts and,
so long as they stay behind that 6 foot fence I don't start trouble with them.
When they start acting up, I get inside and make sure the windows and doors are locked and just hunker down until the police break it up
and cart someone off to the lock-up.

Well, they had over 8 plain clothes detectives, more police than I could count and the forensics unit.
No dog squad, or paramedics or fire fighters...for once lead me to believe it was another drug lab bust.

The truly sad thing is these people had small children.
What sort of life have these poor kids had and the things they've had to witness.

Still, in the aftermath there's been a measure of very welcome peace and quiet.
 
@Tank-Girl hopefully you can get some peace and quiet and you may not have those neighbours for much longer. Definitely with the blue light disco it sounds like a drug bust to me.

It's part of the reason why I get out into the gardens before sun-up.
They're not early risers at all.
I'm out there again at dinner time for the same reasons.
 
Bad enough. We had a hot and sunny day, not much wind. Nice night. Maybe we'll get that storm tomorrow down our way. We could use the rain.

Its headed for Az. I don't think its gonna make it up your way. Maybe y'all will get the next storm. We only got a few drops here but it rained all around us. It will help the ranches.
 
Just a hint of rain has the frogs out. Big fat ones.

Oh I am so happy for you @gumpy that you have found accomodation and found a reliable car and things are improving for you :) . Had you have lived down under in Australia you would have been welcome here and there would have been a room for you.

God works in mysterious and miraculous ways and often through others I have found.
Thanks y'all. You've been wonderful!

doctor postponed hubby's surgery until june 28. daughter is getting out of california hospital today and heading home. it was not a good feeling to know i couldn't get to her way out there.
You and your family is still on my daily Prayer List.

Tank-Girl, I hear you. It is always the children who suffer for the life choices of these scum bags.
The innocents always suffer the most. In this case it'll be a lifetime of suffering.

:eek: I'll let the frog keep his legs. If its gonna taste like chicken I'll just eat the chicken.
They taste more like frog legs than chicken to me!

Up at 2:30 am.
Cannot get back to sleep.
It's going to be a long day.
I can't sleep either! Next post tells why!
 
I only have one can of beets left so I have to go to the grocery store to get 2 cases today. I also need to get another bottle of tylenol arthritis. I'm almost out of that too.
I've been wanting to go to one store here to see what they have now since its summer. In the winter I found a beautiful camel colored woman's dress coat for only $25 ( retail was over $100). Not a thing wrong with it just wasn't "in style" for the season/year. ( who cares its a dress coat). I have a couple of everyday winter coats but nothing nice enough to wear when " going out".
I grilled extra marinated chicken beasts yesterday so I plan on making us fajitas for supper today
Local farm market has some of their blueberries ripe ( mine still aren't) so I want to swing by there to get some. Nothing like blueberry muffins. num
 
WVDragonlady...don't waste your money on the Tylenol Arthritis. Look at the ingredients (my pharmacist daughter tells me). It's just a higher amount of Tylenol, nothing else special in it. Look at the amount of Tylenol in it, and get the same store brand with the same amount. You'll save $$ for the same thing.
Off to get husband's breakfast made and lunch. Then to do the animals, then on to work. Would love to skip the work part today, but not happening. Class at 6 again this evening. Tonight we get to play tag team home invasion with the blue (fake) shotguns and pistols. Last night was New Mexico state law classwork.

Granny cleaned out half of sewing room yesterday.

They hit pay dirt: 1 year old car seat Estelle out grew, 3 huge bags of clothes newborn- 6 months, all seasons,
Exercise saucer,2 big bags of crib sheets, blankets, in varies shades of pink,lavender,mauve.
Amazing how much stuff went to nephew and his wife.
