It's been a while...

I haven't posted in a while so I figured I would write a bit tonight. Christmas came and went and now the New Year is upon us. Everyone was happy with Christmas.....Alfred got his porch swing for the cabin and I got my pistol so I think it's official! You might be a redneck if all you want for Christmas is a gun & a porch swing! HA! As my sister says, "We just swing & shoot!" Life is good at the Burt's!

I am taking the last day of my vacation tomorrow and then me and Alfred are off the rest of the week. Hopefully the sun will shine and we can get outside and do some things. It has been so rainy and gloomy the last couple weeks and I am ready for the sun to come out and stay for a while. I love rainy days but enough is enough.

I guess we'll just watch fireworks from the upstairs deck this New Year's eve. You can see the big fireworks display on Lake Livingston from our bedroom window so it's really a pretty cool, AARP sort'a thing to do! We've been going to the Yeager's every New Years for about 10 years. They decided not to have their shindig this year so we'll be staying home. Speaking of AARP, did I tell you I'm a card carrier now? I looked up AARP to see just exactly what it stands for and there were several choices but two I especially liked......the obvious, "American Association of Retired Persons" and, the not so obvious "Animal Accident Recovery Patrol." OUCH! I would rather be a member of a Retired Person's organization than have membership in the "Animal Accident Recovery Patrol!" Jeeeze! What in the heck would one have to do to join their club?!?

I've rattled on long enough and need to get ready for bed. Remember to keep God first and everything else will simply fall into place. Wishing you all a blessed 2009!
