Another quote from Butch
Well last night I came home and asked Dad if he wanted some of the great Taco Salad that Alice had sent home with me. He was already following me into the kitchen, but stated, "Nope, Im all full up," while patting his belly.
I said, "Are you sure??" He said, "Nope, Im all full up."
The next thing I hear is the freezer door and he is getting the ice cream out. So, I say, "Hey, I thought you said you were all full." He says...are you ready for this??
The one-and-only Butch Duecker says, "Oh-its okay, ice cream doesnt take up any room."
Yep, that's my dad!!! I had to quickly call Jared and tell him this story and his only reacation was, "Yep, that's your dad. Sounds just like something you would say."

23 days, but who's counting!
www.TheBreastCancerSite.com is having trouble getting enough people to
click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).
This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/
Also, I think everyone knows how involved I am in the Relay For Life of Gillespie County (this is my second year as the chair. Last year we raised $125,000!!!),
I feel that it is all of our jobs to spread the word, especially about early detection!!! Our Gillespie County Relay's website is http://events.cancer.org/rflgillespietx ...just in case you wanted to register a team or make a donation to my team!!!!!!!!!! PS...everyone is invited to come to my Relay For Life. It is May 2-3, 2008. Opening ceremony is at 7pm Friday May 2....be there or be square!!!!
Thanks!

Update flower bed
Well, to update my last blog...
Tuesday nite was supposed to freeze, so (for the first time this winter) I covered my plants. I put a big plastic tub on some of them, then gently laid a blanket on the others.
At this point, I notice Beau is really eyeing the blanket. He is a 8 year old, big, black lab. But, he LOVES his blanket, drags it around with him all the time.
Wednesday morning I realize the blanket was maybe not a good idea. Apparently Beau is not particularly partial to HIS blanket. Any blanket will do, especially a new one.
So, most of the baby plants survived the freeze, but the impatients did NOT survive a 100 lb dog on them.

What a beautiful day
I just wanted to write about our beautiful day in the Texas Hill Country. Today was so warm and sunny!!!!! I could have gone down to the river at my house, but I didnt want to push my luck (you know what starts coming out when it is warm!) I cleaned out my flower bed, planted new flowers, took a ton of pictures, and listened to some live, local music!!! What a day! Oh, and finished it off with a supper at my mom's house.

'The Part of You That No One Sees'
| The Part of You That No One Sees |
 You are compassionate, caring, and soothing. You like other people to depend on you... In fact, you don't feel right unless you are helping someone out. Underneath it all, you feel the burden of everyone's problems. Without your guidance, you fear that many people's worlds would fall apart. You like to feel in charge, even if it brings you a lot of stress. This is all stress that you hide from everyone, this is made easy since you have few close friends, you dont like to show the real you. |
Isnt it crazy when you do a survey and it really hits home!!! I question everything, everyday...
