The Tuesday Train and Memories

Just to recap I have been visiting my mom for the ten days. When I head back home tomorrow I will be taking with me new clothes, new-to-me books and memories. I’ve relived a lot of childhood memories during this visit and made a lot of new memories.

I visited my father’s grave in Honey Grove, placing flowers there for him. Its been three years since he passed away. He served his country during World War II as a member of the United States Navy. He was at Pearl Harbor and was never afraid to say “I Love You”. Thank you Dad, I Love You.

Went to see Dark Shadows today and loved it. I would have to give it an 8.9 out of 10. It was slow in a few spots but overall I laughed my head off!

So, for the reason we have all gathered here – The Tuesday Train!

Let’s take a ride and make some sweet memories on the Tuesday Train!

The Tuesday Train and Texas

Saturday I got up at 3:00 am to get ready for my trip. 3:00 AM! Why? Because the airport is 2 hours away, and my flight left at 8:00 am. So one hour to pull myself together, have coffee and try to wake up. Then a 2 hour drive to wait 2 hours at the airport before the 2.5 hour flight. Whew! Needless to say I had a severe case of t.b. (tired butt).

But, at the end of the journey my mom was waiting for me so it made up for every  minute of t.b. that I suffered. Not to mention I have been spoiled rotten every day since then.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and y’all are going to stay cool this week. Take care, have fun on the Tuesday Train and big hugs from the great state of Texas!

The Tuesday Train and trips

So this saturday I will be headed to the great state of TEXAS!

I’m going to see my mom. She already has a list of goodies that she is planning on making me which has made the elastic band pants a definite must! Mom is dying to go see Dark Shadows but is waiting for me (a little impatiently I think). I love me some Johnny Depp.

So next week when I send out my Tuesday train it will be from Texas. I hope everyone has a wonderful week. Live each day to the fullest and without regrets. Stay safe and enjoy!

All aboard theTuesday Train! Come join us for some terrific fun!

The Tuesday Train and the heat is on

It has gone straight from early spring to HOT summer! This week it has been so topsy-turvy with the weather I really think that Mother Nature has gone bi-polar. It started on friday with 65 degrees and by sunday it had shot up to 90 degrees. And this heat wave will continue until friday! Oh, Lord, take me now! One thing I dislike is the heat of summer. My skin is fair so I fry after only a few minutes exposure. My hair is very thin so if I don’t wear a hat my scalp burns. Yikes!

Enough belly aching back to our regularly scheduled Tuesday Train! And I promise that there will be air conditioning for those who like it!

And don’t forget to join us on the Twitter Twain!

I wish everyone a cool ride on the train……..

Tuesday Train and wine talk

Living in the Napa Valley is a study in beauty. The change of seasons can be seen just as easily in a field of grape vines as it is the forests of Maine. Verdant green growth is bursting over the dark brown trunks showing that spring is in full force. The vines spread across wires which are used to train them so that maintaining and picking the grapes is easier.

Wine is great but, give me a good cup of coffee any day!

The Tuedsay Train and moving pains..

Welcome to the TUESDAY TRAIN ! My apologies for no trivia this week. I sorta left my trivia book back home. We moved a couple of states to the left for the summer and I didn’t make a list of what to pack. I blame tax season. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! LOL!

Last week our trivia question was ”What 1948 film had Jack Lemmon portraying a cartoonist?” The answer is “How to murder your wife”. And the answer was provided by — Nigel Blackwell! Congratulations!

ALL ABOARD!!

Darksiders, yes!

I spent my down time this weekend playing a game called Darksiders. Oh, yeah! Mayhem, chaos, demons and a BIG sword. ~sigh~

It was wonderful. I took out some anxiety and aggression on some make-believe targets. I haven’t spent a lot of time on video games in the last couple of years. I buy them play for a little bit and then put chores/writing/work/making money/feeding the family before my gaming.

My hubby on saturday said, ”You need to play Darksiders this weekend. No cooking or cleaning just Darksiders.” I said ”No way. That’s being totally lazy.” But, he put his foot down and (secretly clapping for joy) I reluctantly (on the outside) agreed.

We did the need to do errands, bill paying and yard sale saturday. Then sunday I played Darksiders. Not an event most people would do on Easter, but I am a little weird.  I don’t think God was too terribly upset with me after all the game was about one of his Four Horsemen, War. I got killed, I made progress and WOOHOO! I learned how to throw sticky bombs! I really truly believe it’s the little things in life that make us happy.

So I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. I know we did.

Thanks for stopping by……
