Good Sunday Morning

Good Morning Janine and Cali Friends,

Janine, I hope you get a  "me day" to relax today and take care of yourself.

Yesterday was so much fun.  My cousins came from Idaho so we got some of my cousins together (I am an only child, so my cousins have always been more like sisters/brothers to me).  We drove to San Jose and visited with them for a while, great fun.

Today, we're going to work in the backyard a little and get ready for Ron's party in a couple of weeks.

So that's it for now.  Have a wonderful day and have fun!

Hugs,
Barb

Good Morning Janine & Cali gang
Sitting up here in the beautiful foothills...watching the birds swarm the bird feeder Lon put out and waiting for the Does and the new fawns to come up the hill.  The weather has been PERFECT..in the low 80's so sitting outside carving has been absolutely wonderful.  We drove thru the park on Friday nite; there is only a handful of spots not taken....the park has over 500 spots!  It is just packed!  I had hope our section would be fairly empty due to the 'permanente' campers pulling out after the lease rate increased; no luck...the section only has 1 empty spot. The good news the campers are only here for the weekend ^_^  When they leave, we'll be back to about 6 full time, permanente leasors in the section.  We met our new neighbors, a retired couple from Yuba City; Lon gave the gentleman a walking cane he had carved. They'll be buddies for life LOL  Went over to Brownsville yesterday, to the grocery store and the Brownsville Fire Dept Thrift store.  Found some really nice dress pants for work, and 5 new tops (like I need any! LOL). Lon picked up a 'garden claw' for tearing up the flower beds and we also found a commercial grade 9" frying pan...perfect for making eggs or crepes.

Made breakfast this morning; couldn't stay away from boards and as soon as I finish this, I'll head outside to continue a chip carving piece I'm learning to do.  I'm getting my walking in by taking the two younger 'kids' for walks around the section...lots of ups and downs (rolling hill)..killing the back of my calves!  But, we are doing the trek 2X a day...but it sure is different than walking around a flat block!  I figure if I don't keep up the walking, I'll go home with either no weight loss or a gain...I hate not having a scale to keep me honest!  But, then again, maybe the scale is nothing more than a crutch??

Barb, happy to hear Friday nite went well.....a tenor sax?? Wayyyy tooo cooollll, Lady!  Give Isla a hug from me....such a tuff time for her.

Janine....would you please just relax!!  LOL  I was thinking you were heading back to class after the weekend...duh!  Of course, you are off for the summer and recouping!  But you need to slow down and take care of you ^_^

Doloras...great that you had a fun time in Vegas..and of course, the little one wanted to swim!  Isn't that what hotel swimming pools are for?  Especially after being couped up in the car?  LOL And good luck with the surgery!  You are so close now ^_^

Mo....good choice to not head to Sac this weekend!  Heard on the news last nite that attendance at the Jazz Jubilee was UP 10% over last year!!  Marine World sounds really cool...for people who 'enjoy' the roller coasters (I'm not a fan!) LOL

Well, my carving knives are calling me...and it is the reason I wanted to come up here.  Hope everyone is having fun...and enjoying our beautiful weather!  Remember our VETS!!

Janine...take care of the girls and yourself today!!
Me? I am going to work on the room and worry about my Lily dogHow is it possible to miss that rat dog so much when she drives me out of my mind half the time?

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone.

HUGS

Good Morning Janine and the Cali group,

I'm just the same way with sleeping. I can't sleep longer than 7 hours to save my life...I'm awake in the middle of the night, thinking of things..Then, I"m up at 4 am doing (of all things) laundry!

I'm so sorry about your baby hurting you by accident...Take it easy..rest today.
