Yes it is! It’s Calico’s 16th birthday!
Happy Birthday, son!
Billy bones had another appointment with the neurologist.
By the way, if you follow me on twitter you’d already know a bunch of this, just sayin’.
Anyway, the visit with the neurologist was somewhat of a disappointment. The tics haven’t diminished, in fact, they’re as bad as ever. And this may or may not change.
She offered medication if we feel like he needs it, which, I love not being commanded what to do by doctors or, well, anyone, but some guidance would be helpful. Oh, and the meds? They may or may not work. And the side effects? Some never go away, even when you discontinue the medication. How is that a good trade?
She did give me some literature and a couple of web sites to look at, but beyond that the whole visit seems like a large waste of time. Glad we don’t have a co-pay.
So, here we go, learning to just live with it, work around it, and generally just ignore it as much as is practical.
Thanks, Kimarie, for the heads up about my broken Twitter Button. Apparently when I got that cute new Twitter button I neglected the all important step where I was supposed to put MY twitter info in there and just proceeded ahead to install the anonymous Twitter button.
Oh how I hate it when I do stuff like that. I should take a nap.
Anyway, the Twitter button, she’s workin’ now!

Really.
Here’s your chance to give your opinion of the P.O.T.U.S.
I promise it won’t take long. Even if you choose to view the results. And how could you not want to view the results?
Kind of refreshing to read something about him that makes you grin.
Seriously, click here.
This past Saturday my family and I got to enjoy a wonderful concert by Charlie Zahm at the Bulverde Baptist Church.
Billy Bones is writing a book inspired by one of the songs recorded by Charlie Zahm, so he was particularly excited to get to hear all this fabulous music performed live! And to get to meet the man!
We had a fabulous time. Charlie Zahm is a favorite at our house.
Arrgh! This was the most foolish way to have a giveaway yet! My rules, oh how I love to make rules! Well sir, it turned around and bit me in the tushie this time.
It’s complicated, but I’ll do my best to make it clear so nobody gets their feelings hurt or anything.
The rule was:
I’ll give a prize to the last person to leave a comment with cell phone advice, by 2 p.m. cst!
By the rule, the winner is Johnnie and I’ll tell ya why.
Everybody’s head spinning? If not, please read the bulleted items through again, then we can all be frustrated with Mother Hen’s ding-danged rules!
Happy reading, Johnnie!
Our church hosted a dance this evening. The kids and grown folks all had a wonderful time.
Having been a good Baptist for 15 years, this whole concept is still kinda odd, but it’s really growing on me.
I did NOT dance, but the Cowboys did. Well, the teen aged Cowboys danced. I took several photos but haven’t had a chance to even fish my camera outta my purse, much less sort through and see if any are worth posting, and I have no idea why, but I didn’t take any video. Live and learn. I’ll remember next time.
The dances were reels, contras ( is that a thing?) and some swing. Kind of a mix of this and this.
We all had such a great time. This needs to happen way more often, like quarterly, I’m thinkin’.
Go click the links and then move the coffee table so YOU can bust a move.
Have fun!
