Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

 I did not go to the hospital on  Friday. My yard was in need of some  clippers. It needed a cut really badly. However, my front and side had been cut, thanks to Deborah to the left of me. I did go around some areas close to the house again. I cut as close as I can to  try and avoid weed eating. It did not work so well for the last couple of weeks, the weeds were trying to take over. AND it was almost there! I struggled with the weeder,  this one, that one, another one and then the gas one. The first two were actually one, but two batteries. They suck. Ten seconds on both and they are done. So, I tried the plug in one,  wrapped string, several times, but the eater ate that up.  the last one was I tried to start the gas, I can't pull the string hard  enough. I said, SCREW IT! I went in and posted on the  Hickman page that I was in  need of someone to do it for me. I had a mom reach out. Her 17 yr old (same age as DJ), could do it. Out of ...

Hey all.  I started to tell you all about  my life the past week, going into detail, but its just way to much. Other than to say, last Friday I  went to NC with my sis in law and  6:15am on Sat. I got a call,  my middle grandson was in a horrible wreck. I was at Vanderbilt hospital  where DJ was life flighted in five hours. It's a lot so I am not going into it all. But pics can help tell the story. This is when I first saw him. Temp surgery on his head. He was thrown from a small pickup  truck at over 80 miles an hour. His scalp was ripped from above the  eyes to almost the back of his head.  This pic was the first day. On Wed. the bandage was removed. His right leg as hanging open. A seven shape cut into it and cut all the way to the bone. His C2 vertebrate was fractured and had to be fused to C3. C7 was crushed and required about 8 screws and rods to repair that. We are still dealing with swelling of the spine. He has moved in all limbs, th...

                                          In the last fe w months,  the hair has gone from white,           to white with ash And on Wed. to a tad more ash. After getting my hair done I  swung by the pet store to pick up wet Lily food.  I checked out the cats, there was an adorable one, a gray tabby  but this one had the sweetest face.  I also checked out the fish. I used to have a beta. His name was Mr. Squiggles. But he did not look like these patch work betas. and there was a couple of  sea urchins hanging to the glass. And this thingy.  My beta was so cool. He would come up  to the top of the bowl when I walked up to him, and I would rub the top of  his head. Some folks buy different phone covers so they can change out the cover when the mood strikes. Do you have more than one phone cover? I see no sense i...

  Bacon cheddar corn on the cob I LOVE bacon, I like corn on the cob, I like cheddar... just not sure about cheddar on corn. Bacon maybe. What about you?   Well, I have been having fun sewing simple things on my little sewing machine, BUT a sewing machine does you no good, if you break your needle. LOL However, I did sew up a couple of small things by hand. This is a floor fish. Now what is a floor fish? Material on the front, terry clothe was clothe for the backing, I did  put some stuffing inside but not overstuffed. Oh yeah, the question was what it's used for? Accidently spill something on the  kitchen floor, throw the terry clothe side down to wipe it up and  push it around with your foot. If like me, you will then use your  toes to pick up the floor fish. But I made another one but in  duck form. Not that I don't have enough paintings sitting around, I painted this yesterday. These types of flowers work well with watercolor but I am  not nor...
