HD = HeaDache

For my loyal readers I apologize for my posting record. I find that without children or grandchildren to post photos of, my posts become very uninteresting. However, I was looking forward to going home this weekend to new High Definition service from Direct TV. Come to find out this is not as simple as we anticipated. We ordered all the correct equipment (including DVR) so we could have the capability of recording our wonderful new HD channels. The technician arrived this morning only to tell us we had a few slight problems to deal with. Problem #1 is a beautiful Magnolia tree that will block the line to those satellites that are all over our atmosphere. Problem #2 is a great Pecan tree that is not even on our property. I can see a Chainsaw weilding Jerry out their now cutting down these trees, but I think he has thought the better of it. I cancelled the HD stuff from Direct TV and we're now looking at Charter Cable to work their magic. Have a great weekend with or without HD!!

A Lovely Family!

The other day I received this photo from my brother, Darren. He had taken it in February at our Mom's 80th birthday celebration. This is a picture of all the Ingram brothers and sisters and my Mom and Dad. Front row L-R: Mom (Lorene), Dad (Delmer) and Darren. Back row L-R: The oldest, Richard, Susan (Sue), Phil and Nancy (me). I have a wonderful family, particularly my parents. They look great, don't they. I was raised in a home full of love and never worried about anything. We played outside till dark and could go wherever our bicycles could take us. It was a great childhood.
