today is my daughter’s birthday. wont say how old she is cuz that would date me. if i could only have one daughter and i got to pick,  i would pick her. she is everything a man could want in a daughter. she is pretty and smart. definitely got more sense than her dad. i have no doubt that my children will surpass me in what they do. happy birthday wabeno.

if its her birthday then that means mine is coming up in a few days. my nephew asked me if there was a cookout for me. i said i dont know. it would be a surprise if there was. when you get to be my age, you dont do much celebrating. turn the page and move on.

i know that it is time to plant corn. i use my birth date as a reminder it is time. i will plant alot of rows this year. the ground is all ready. most of my garden is in now, all except pumpkins and corn. i dont know if the ground is warm enough yet. but  i will go ahead and put them in.

i almost forgot. the other day when i was up by white cloud i seen a big snapping turtle while i was driving along the missouri river. i couldnt turn around for a bit, by the time i got back to where that shi keh was, it was gone. that was fast. i didnt think a turtle could move that fast. all the rain that we have is causing them to move. i told some of my homeboys to drop them off here if they found any and didnt want to mess with them. i have cleaned about half a dozen each spring the past few years. i save that one bone from the turtle to keep snakes away. i made about 10 of them into necklaces and gave them all away. gotta make some more this year. i have already seen a few snakes. i have told people that its the ones that walk upright are the ones to be concerned about.

and speaking of deceptively fast. when i ate at the buffet the other day, there were just mainly old people there. i know i am old too,  but these ones were older than me. when the line opened i thought i was gonna get trampled by them old people. i think God made casinos and buffets to keep old people off the street.

i am still getting used to face book. i have been asked to join several groups. or get inquiries bout something or other. then when i go to accept,  it says something like ‘by accepting you give permission to use your contacts and other information’.  or something like that. it weirds me out. i grew up during the sixties. giving up access to personal info is asking alot. so i dont join. the people on my friend list must think i am strange. or cold blooded. i dont have anything on my page that i wouldnt want made public. its just the idea of it all. hope they understand.

i just got thru mowing the yard for the second time. the rain made it grow back fast. my riding mower went tribal. and i cant get anyone to take it to the shop to have it fixed. i read somewhere that we should give up the riding mowers cuz we overweight, and push mowers made us exercise more. i dont have a choice, since mine aint working. so i push mowed the yard and i have a big yard. it is about an acre. thats alot of exercising. i need that tho. i bought a t shirt down in alberqueqe. i had to ask for pow wow size. thats 2x. they charge more. probably cuz they use more material.

i have been so busy, i havent had time to do my roach head dress business. will get back to that when i am all caught up with the chores that need to be done. being injun is hard work. maybe thats why some dont want to be one.
