I heard the plaintive cry of what I thought to be a Mourning Dove, but guess what? it was a roadrunner perched atop my house, crying his heart out. Boy did he fool me. Hope this will get him a mate. Do male birds get blue balls?

Lord, what has happened? Went to the the Main Street Art Festivities with Debbie and Brandon. What could I have been thinking!! But it turned out OK. Here is D.'s report:

Greetings!!!!! Hope all is well. We are all ok. Nothing much really going on. Just thought that I'd give you an update on how not smoking is going. Day 12 and counting. I want one so bad that my teeth hurt, but it would taste awful like it did two weeks ago. And I'd feel as though I'd licked an ashtray. It is nice not having to worry about when I can smoke and stuff. I'm much more patient now. And I'm not out in the heat and I think that my house is cooler since I'm not always opening the door to go out and puff. And I can breathe. Many reasons. But I still want one. Whine, whine.

Preston took his friend and I to the Main Street Arts Festival today and we had a blast. We went in my car with Preston driving because he knows directions and I don't. He's a better driver. It was free to go and there were wall to wall people. We saw some neat art, although it seemed as if the mood of most of it was dark and foreboding. Of course it was all priced way out of my league so I wasn't looking to buy. I did get a T-shirt and two iced coffee drinks from the Starbucks stand. We heard some good music. One group had an electric harp and they were quite interesting. I wouldn't mind having one of their CD's.

Then I had a special treat. We came back Camp Bowie in search of food. I didn't want to eat at the festival because it was just too expensive. Preston got us to Zeke's where I had a famous fish burger and mushrooms. I haven't been there in 26 years. And it's the first time that I've ever been there straight. Amazing to me. And the kitchen people weren't stoned either like I remembered. They've remodeled too. The restroom is still the pits though. So it was a very good day and I think that I've had my daily workout. And no one tried to rip off my purse either. Granny warned me and warned me. She's quite paranoid about things like that.

It was pretty warm again today, upper 80's. It's supposed to be 90 tomorrow and then Tues there is a chance of rain and cooler temps. I forgot to stop by Target today and get a coffee pot. I guess I'll go by Walmart tomorrow and get one. I wanted to see if T had anything different. The water here is so bad that it just kills coffee pots. I clean and clean with vinegar, but after a while they just bite the dust. And my WW diet has just gone out the window. I'm working out. I spend nearly an hour at the gym doing all kinds of different things. I'll just have to eventually face the fact that I'm old and will never have a hard bod again. Reality sucks.

I guess this is all that's going on. Not really much of anything. Now I want to go to Mayfest, but Preston won't take me. He will take me to the flower show in Richardson whenever that is. I think in May. I got tired today walking and we didn't see every booth that they had. We saw most of it though. And I only saw one person smoking. Everyone has quit it seems. Nasty habit. I've turned into a radical ex-smoker. A man came in the meeting this morning with a cig and I banished him to the porch. Well, I gotta go rest my brain. Too much stimuli today. Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs
