Rain,Rain And More Rain Coming Our Way Tonight

Central Texas has surely gotten lots of rain lately and I just hope the hurricanes, tornadoes and storms hold off and stay away so my prayers has been said to that end and our house will still be standing in the rain.... This is the first ever home I paid off and want to hold on to it for many more years to come...

 

I tell you after surviving a stroke knowing my working days are over and my lovely wife is about ready to start thinking retirement the last thing we both need is having to worry about another home to pay for over time.... The weather we can do nothing about except pray as our money making days about over for both of us now....

 

Living on retirements are no advantage as taxes keep going up every year and we just had the house re-carpeted in the bedrooms and wood flooring put down in other areas along with title in bathrooms, kitchen and entry ways.... We do get a big brake on paying property taxes in Texas being retired military so that is great.....

 

My stroke keeps me from working again anytime soon so we must hold on to our pennies for the grand kids to get a start in college when they are ready to go and I bet they will be wanting to buy a car later on with no jobs of their own..... So we will just have to wait and see what goes or comes around when that time comes our way....

 

Perhaps with a bit of luck I can hit a lottery that will pay off but I'm not betting on it...... Who knows it could happen any time you never know when..... But that would be nice not to worry about the little ones attending college... :D I can just imagine the cost of college years from now.....

 

Well I'm not complaining just a thought that one day that time will be here before we know it..... Of course we never know whom will be President by that time either as we look at how this Presidential race has gone so far.... Nothing is certain these days and years and we all know wars come and go as they have for many, many years....

Fred, not something I usually say to you but:  "Live in today, let tomorrow take care of itself."  I think we all worry about our grandkids but they will grow up as we did and somehow find their way through life.  Our job is to give them the values that will make them fine citizens and hopefully God respecting men and women as well. I know you will do a splendid job of that.  Give the little one a hug every day and let all your kids and grandkids know that you love them.  That is the thing we all need to do.

Thanks Sue but how do so many people think they can drive a car over a flooded road and not drown or can be found alive later????

 

I'm just not ready to go that route being paralyzed and can't swim or drink all that water so I STAY HOME.....

Yes thank you, our home is on solid ground no creeks, rivers or dams anywhere close to my property and no mountains either but in New Orleans my wife's hometown where she has many sisters and brothers and other family members the waters are rising like it did during hurricane Katrina in 2005....

 

 

if this keeps up they may head to our house here in Texas once again....
