So yesterday, one of my long-time (18yrs) girlfriends called me up to ask if I had plans tonight. My brother had came Friday to stay for the weekend and I told her as much and that we were just planning on watching football. She says she hasn’t seen me in a while and wants to come over if that’s ok. Of course, it is... So we are sitting here watching one of the games about 5 this evening and I hear my front door open. Here comes my friend with 3 more of my friends. They are all from Arkansas so no short trip for them. She starts unpacking an ice chest of wine & beer and then proceeds to light candles on these amazing carrot cake cupcakes ( my favorite) . I ask, who’s birthday? “Yours” she says... I’m a little confused cause my birthday is in June... but she says she didn’t get to celebrate with me and it was better late than never...LMAO—- that’s a true friend!!!View attachment 280168
Wow...and carrot cake too! What a lovely friend.

That’s just it, I always feel like I’m a horrible friend.. I’m really bad about not calling or texting for Loooonnnnggg lengths of time.. and I’m more of a homebody every day... I also tend to say exactly what I’m thinking no matter how it sounds. And I’m weird with all my animals and such.... so all that being said, it amazes me that there are a few people out there that just don’t care and still love me i was humbled...
That sounds like the best kind of friendship to me.

Hope in the wild is another good show if you can get it. I don't know how to send a link.

I will look it up.. I got something for you a few minutes ago.IMG_4211.jpgIMG_4213.jpg
Found this guy in my hibiscus bush yesterday.. didn’t have my phone handy . Imagine my surprise when I passed by today and he’s still there! It’s no bigger than a macaroni noodle and just slightly longer:)

This is tortoise physical therapy !
I like that vet. I wish she were here instead of Florida. That's the vet that Ed takes his tortoises to.

I remember reading his thread one day about little Hope and someone was criticizing him about getting a good vet AFTER he had already stated before that he had an excellent vet. I was so impressed with him that he just continued his story and never picked up the argument:)

Yup. He's pretty impressive. Yet another person I wish I didn't live so far away from. @ZEROPILOT : How's the vision coming along?

I opened my garage door yesterday to be hit in the face with a chemical smell. . . old paint or solvent or something like that. I have quite the store of old cans of stuff. I guess it would be classified as hazardous waste. Now that something's leaking I really need to get in there and clean it out.
Will someone collect it for you or do you have to take it the dump for safe disposal?

Is that a little anole? I just think they are so cute. I have to make myself behave so they won't drop their tail. I didn't know if Texas has them or not. You must live in Heaven because you have another one I can't resist either. The little tree frogs.

Just good enough that I can still read these compliments!
Thanks.

There is a very clear sky tonight and a beautiful, big ,waxing gibbous moon shining straight through my window!
At times like these I wish I had a digital camera to share it with you all but by the time I get it developed on my 35mm it will have long gone.
