I wish I had some contacts near CC, TX, but I don't. Maybe she can charm a nice trucker into bringing her a new belt.

Well, Maggie's in trouble, folks. She's about 45 miles north of Corpus Christi, Texas and a belt in her car broke. She wants me to contact Mike or Kelly to see if they can help her, however, I don't know either's phone number. I also think that her phone doesn't work, because she called me on a borrowed phone and said she wouldn't be able to make any more phone calls. She was so upset that I couldn't get much out of her. Only that she's in a big truck parking area about 45 miles n/o Corpus Christi.

She's really up a creek because she's travelling with animals. She has some tortoises, her big cat and a bird in the car.

Is anyone near Corpus Christi that can help?

(My phone # in case you can help - 55 9 2 98 - 71 1 4)


I'll try Mike's FB. I have his email too.

Oh, I feel so bad for Maggie!!

The closer of the dog butts is Balarney. She is between 18 and 20 yrs. The other one is Corgi. This is one of the pairs I walk.

Trying to catch up is Sunny. He is one of two cats who walk with us usually.

You aren't kidding Ken . Was a great one . On a side note ...... I can't help poor Maggie without knowing a address or phone # to call . Whatever happened to pay phones ? Most parts houses will send someone out with a belt to help out . If I knew where she was I would call a parts house and pay by phone to get her a belt delivered .

"What Have You Got Planned Tonight, Diana?"

It all started in 1929 me and Diana had gone to Alaska
To homestead some of that free government land

Forty miles from the nearest gravel road
we cut our life in the ponderosa pines
We sweated hard to beat the winter snow
But the cabin's up and we've got lots of times

What have you got planned tonight Diana
would you consider laying in my arms
I love you more than ever now Diana
I'm sure you're the reason I was born

Jim was born the first year we were here
look at him Diana he's almost grown
And the baby's in the cradle fast asleep
just think in no time they'll be up and gone

What have you got planned tonight Diana
would you consider laying in my arms
I love you more than ever now Diana
I'm sure you're the reason I was born

Well time sure does fly by doesn't it Diana
It's been almost two years now since you've been gone
Speaking of time
I guess mine's about up
Just another breath or two
And I'll be home
And by the way

What have you got planned tonight Diana
would you consider laying in my arms
I love you more than ever now Diana
I'm sure you're the reason I was born

I know, huh? She was so upset that all she said was what I already told you. Then she said she was on a borrowed phone and hung up on me. About an hour ago I called that guy's borrowed phone and left a message asking him to call and tell me what street or highway she's on, or what town she's in, or if there's a name on the truck stop. But he hasn't called back yet.

Spring has sprung and the weather is gorgeous...which means Vern is driving me flippin' insane. His outdoor enclosure has been taken over by the girls and is too small for him anyway (4x8ft is definitely too small for 12lbs of redfoot) so I've been taking him out for supervised adventures. He knows where the front door is and as soon as I bring him in he turns right around and runs for the door. As soon as he is out he runs for the manure pile. He's never made it there, but he knows exactly what's up there.

Good morning!
