Work in the Carolina's

HI, this is the Vietmanse people that I was working with and for last week. They were a great group of people. They even fed us supper on Tuesday night. Dang, I have never had a filet migon as big as that or as delicious. Everyday they supplied lunch and drinks and were very happy for us to be setting up there store. I got tickled when the Mexican's came in to apply for a job and Ben would tell them, "I do not speak Spainish, only American. No, English no job!" I wish that more people were like that it pleased me to see a stand up person. Besides he says that he was raised here and respects the American's. What a great person. Anyway I spent 4 days in Charlotte, NC working and I did go to see my sister who lives in Charlotte. It was a good trip.
Things are picking up for me right now so sometimes it is hard to find the time to let you know how things are going, but I will try to keep in touch as much as possible.
Till next time, maybe tomorrow, have a great day.

Me, travel!!!

Wow, what a week and a half. Last week I was in Monroe, NC for 3 days and I thought that I had went out of country with the exception of 74 it's a race track! LOL!!! There were a lot of Mexican's and Indian's in this med size town. Almost all the restaurant's were Mexican Food expect for the usual fast foods and a few up scale restaurants. I couldn't wait to get back to the mountain.
Then I went to Asheville, NC boy was I fooled. Another piece of work in this state. There were Jamaicans and hippies everywhere. I was working at the Earth Fare and that was a hoot. In the late morning to early afternoon there was a Jamaican there beating a drum and singing really loud. In the afternoon in came these guys raggedly dressed with guitars and a fiddle and picked. They brought there collection bag for tips, no doubt I did not tip. Oh, and inside you could get a massage the first 5 minutes were free. Man the mountains are changing and not for the good.
Anyway am back on the mountain, with a work order for Charlotte, NC next week. I know pit city but it's a job. Besides I see some really strange things in these cities and how people are trying to make a way thru life. Oh, about forgot I saw too many dreadlocks! Yech!!!
That's it for now will try to write again soon.

Dreary Day

Thought that I would share a picture of my catus in bloom this summer, since today is rainy. Weather is about to change to cooler and I will miss the warm days and cool nights. Sure we'll have a few more days of warmth but nothing let about a month ago. The season's are what I like about this region. Winter is not my favorite!! Spring is my favorite! That is what I start looking forward to around March, all things come out new. Just have to get through WINTER!
Anyway, I worked this week in Concord (again) and it was very warm done there, but the work I was doing was COLD. Reminded me that winter is close. Oh, I did a freeze re-set at Bi-Lo's. Too Funny, a person that doesn't enjoy the cold has to do this!!
I will catch up on house work this week. Have a great week and try to be happy!

Friends

I was coming home this morning after going to Blowing Rock, and it accurred to me that friends are not like back in the old days. Sure, I have my special friends but new ones are hard to come by. It seems like the world is changing and not for the good. People are out for them selfs and don't care who they hurt in the process. I hope that my friends and my self do not come to this way of thinking. Sorry, am old school and think that if a friend tells me something that's between us not the whole neighborhood. If I make a mistake I will admit it and hope that my friend hugs me and assures me that all is fine. Am ranting, aren't I? Sorry, but right now I am feeling a little lonely and I have to get thru this on my own, I reckon. It happens every year around this time, the B-Day. So for now I will concentrate on my few friends and try to be happy for them and myself. Getting ready to head out this afternoon for work tomorrow.
Have a great day,
Love ya!!

Finally I have my rocker fixed!

This is my rocker! It was in bad shape before, we fixed it. The cat's used it as a scratching post so it looked real rough. I painted it and removed all the bad cane off the frame, then my neighbor cut the slats, and started the webing. I went over last nite and helped him finish the back. It turned out really nice and may last another 13 or 14 years, who knows. Anyway I wanted to share this with everyone.
Otherwise, on this side of the mountain we are enjoying cooler tempertures and nice evenings. I was awaken this morning by my big cat who crawled up in the bed and decided he likes the new mattresses.
We also put up new blinds this week over the big windows, they look great! Mom gave them to us and they are remote control, imagine that. It's pretty cool to see them go up and down at the touch of a button.
While that's all for now, Have a great week.
KC
