Well, April 2011 is here. Today is 4-7-11 and the Bluebonnets have finally popped out but not a large crop. We are in a drought, so no rain for 2 months and they need lots of rain . Two years ago, we had snow on the bluebonnets which some said had never happened. I do have pictures as it was so unusual. Went to see my brother Jerry today at the Texas State Veterans home which is on VA property in Temple, TX, he is partially paralyzed from the waist down with his legs & feet sticking out in front. He is frozen in time so to speak. He was glad to see me and introduced me to the nurses aides who have been training at the home the last 3 weeks.
They are from Central Texas College, Killeen, Tx. His home there is so nice and any vet can apply as well as their wives if needed. Some couples are there together even though just one needs the care. We have a nice VA facilty here in Temple with hospital, clinic and soon to be a critical care facilty for the Vets. It is a busy place. We also have a A&M doctor training program here through the large Scott & White hospital we have. Central Texas is a beautiful place to live with Temple to shop in. Temple has a great library and Internet assess as well as books to download for computer to read & then return. Never tried it yet so do not know how it works.
We are having revival week at our church so I am busy, my husband is pastor of College Heights Bapist Church, Temple on 5th street. The evangelist is Wayne Hudson from Azel, Tx, really can tell some great Texas stories about when he was growing up.
Our church is looking for a new pastor, though, we keep praying about it.
Temple is the smallest town 65,000 with a Sam's Club because Drayton McLane owns a lot of stock in Walmart, supplies their stores with his large business. We got the Sam's Club because of him. Killeen has to come shop in Temple and I see a lot of military there. Killeen has the largest army base in the world and we are very much military here in our area. Had a surprise at Sam's Club today, first I had ever seen, they are remolding the store and had a super dupper restroom trailer to the side of the exit door. Each men-women side I guess had 4 closed stalls as that was what was on the women's side with 1 sink and it was very nice. It was really nice.
Got a pizza cooked for supper at Sam's, will have cheese sticks with sauce from freezer with it. Told the lady when I ordered it, I always have problems cooking the pizza at home, she said not to go by box but put oven on 300 degrees, after warming up, place pizza on top shelf and cook till cheese is melted, said it does not take long. Really did not weant to rush today and cook. Usually I cook 5 days a week for my husband, myself and my oldest son, Sam. Then on Sat.--rehash day, Sunday is eat out day after church at a restaurant. My husband and I are pretty healthy because we do not eat a lot of junk food. He is very partial to Ice Cream though, more than me. HEB specialty ice cream came out today with Poteet Strawberry, so good. Pottet strawberries are simply the best in the world due to where they are grown.
Well, I guess I had better end . Hope everyone has a great week-weekend. We are going to try to go to Baylor-Waco on Saturday as they are having a King James bible exebit celebrating 400 years of the KJV Bible, something to look forward to.
Take care everyone,
Marie
