Thank God for your blessings...

Roxie and I arrived in Conroe just before lunch and surprise surprise...Judy had made yeast rolls. Of course I had to have one before lunch as an appetizer. "Gooooood" as Andy Griffith would say.

We had lunch at Mr Hamburger #2 and even though they didn't make the Texas Monthly fifty best hamburger list, I still rate it above some of those that did make the top fifty. Actually, I don't always agree with Texas Monthly on their reviews of eateries. Once when they did the barbeque review, I had eaten at several and wouldn't consider any of them really good barbeque. Shoot...what do a bunch of liberals out of Austin know about barbeque anyway.

Now about our blessings. Roxie and I thought it was hot and dry in Elkhart til we got to Judy's. Roxie has walked around panting since she's been here...poor baby. Judy doesn't want her in the house and she only gets in when nobody is looking. Judy went in the kitchen the other day and Rox had managed to open the back door and was lying on the rug in the kitchen just looking around. Front paws crossed of course. Back on blessings, praise God for what you have because it could be worst. A friend in College Station griped so much about the need for rain that she got a flood, literally, and a hail storm. God answers our prayers and He doesn't like it when we pray and asks in generalities.

The folks in central and southeast Texas do need a good ground soaking rain, not one of those frog strangling 10 inch rains in a few hours, so lets keep that in our prayers.

I'm glad to be at Judy's but we both miss the birds we've been seeing at the country place.

Have a blessed day and pray for those that need a good ground soaking rain. I'm telling you, God likes specifics.
