It’s been raining here all day, what is this, this is
Cali, we’re not supposed to have rain in May, is
it climate change or global warming at work?
Hey you! Did you guys get any rain?
It was sunny here as well, bit windy
though. Today was our busy day. It
was a do chores day. There is always
something that needs doing.
Flooded? Oh my! Did the flooding affect your
area? We have always been fortunate not to
have been caught in a flood. Believe it or not,
the closest we came was when we lived in the
high desert in Nevada.

Hi guys! Been working back at my old job! Good to be home.
Hi Marlie! How are things in your neck of the woods? I’m not sure if I told you this but my apartment didn’t allow pets so I had to visit my mom during the weekends to see Pinky and Snow White. You’d think that LA would have a lot of pet friendly apartments but they’re few and far in between. I’m happy that I can be with them everyday now. I had the best broccoli beef today!
Actually I thought you had the birds with you.
I am not surprised by the no pets rule. Many places
once allowed people to own pets on their
property but unfortunately there were those who
did not clean up after their pets. There was a
house for sale in my old neighborhood that no
body wanted to buy. turns out, the tenants who
were renting the place had cats. Apparently the
cats pissed all over the house and it stunk of
urine. The owners had to have entire rooms re-
sheet rocked before it finally sold.
I am sad to say that one of my brothers recently
passed away. He was my mentor when I was
young, he taught me a lot.
I’m very sorry Marlie my deepest condolences. My aunt passed away in December, she was like a mother figure to me. If you ever feel like you need someone to lend an ear you can send me an email anytime.
It’s hard to lose a loved one. I am coping.
I know it may sound strange
but I don’t think I ever saw him as
getting old and passing away. He
was 75 so I am happy to have had
him for so many years.
Thanks for the offer. I might take you
up on it. Hope you know you can do the same.
How is your mom? Doing well, I hope.
My mom is doing good, after my aunt passed away I wanted to spend as much as I could with her so I decided to move back. She’s happy that I’m with her.
That’s great Sal. It cuts down on your
commute, right? Do you seeing some
of your past students? Must be nice
to return to familiar surroundings.

Watched the sun come up, hard rain and severe lightening storms. One giant bolt hit the wooded area behind me, smoke from the tree scorched. I found strips of bark from 2 pines and one other large tree. Need to get an arborist to help save them. the pines are over 100′ tall, part of the old pine forests and the other is only slightly smaller. I can’t lose these trees. Still raining and flooding will happen , we will not flood but the San Jacinto river will flood the parks up front and the bridge out will be closed
Whoa, that sounds like quite some weather happening.
Sounds like a hurricane with all that sound and fury.
We are expecting some rain this weekend probably
wont be as spectacular as your storm. Hope the trees
will be okay. I am sure you will do what you can to
save them.
You were in Austin visiting? I didn’t know.
Was it a fun trip with lots of conversation
and vino?
Sad news for us. My oldest brother died
last week, very sad.
Morning Trace. Yes, it is hard, very hard
to lose family members. Our
original family has shrunk down to
two for now.
I’ve been meaning to ask. How is
your family doing these days?
It is Texas, that is what they call them. This place is huge in a semi rural area. Beautiful property, rolling hills even a playground for children. They are open during the day. On weekend nights they bring in bands. Rod Stewart cover band in a rural redneck are. Have to love it.
Sounds like an interesting place. I have some family in Texas. Some have adapted to the cowboy way mentality.
Interesting because they were all born in California.
I do not have the cowboy mentality at all. We went just because, not that we cared about the music. 3 couples and we have not been all together in 3 years. If was goofy and fun and the people were very nice.
Lol, of course you haven’t adapted,
I wouldn’t expect you to, we’ve chatted
for years, I always think of you as a
northerner even though you have been
in Texas for years. Oddly, I still think
of myself as a Virginian. I have been
on the west coast for 50 of my 72
years. Strange, isn’t it?

Greetings from a gray area. I can’t believe it’s raining hard in April!
It’s overcast, but the sun is still out. I suppose this is the time of year where the Cullen vampire family flees Washington and hides out in Brazil during their winter time (Twilight book reference 🙂 )
It’s great you got in contact with the cuzzins again. I look forward to hear from him.
And I figured our why my tablet isn’t jumping to recent comments – I don’t even have that panel available.
As if I would have any idea about the Cullen family.
I watched the movies but..er.. but,
I don’t recall much about any of them.
So maybe your screen isn’t wide enough?
The only movie I saw from beginning to end was the first one, and it took me 4 tries. The first book was good, but the other three got gradually worse.
Ann Rice was the best writer about vampires…period.
I was thinking that the summers must be
pretty mild there. Hopefully Canada doesn’t
have a major burn like last year. Maybe the kitties are like me, they want to watch the sun come up catch
some morning bird song.

Been sick the last few days, right when spring is starting to spring here. YUCK!
Good morning. I thought you were starting full time
this week. Was there a change in plans? I’ve been
adding to the site the last couple of days. Check out
the beautiful gardens on the left. I am thinking
of adding pictures of our yard.
Nothing has changed. Can’t go full time until Mary leaves, which is this coming Wednesday. When I go to work on Friday, someone from HR will come to my site and make it official.
I’m going to Trader Joe’s tomorrow!
What’s on your shopping list? They are a bit
expensive, in my opinion but they have such
a wide variety of everything you just have to
go there.
Today is Cinco De Mayo, lets celebrate!!

Send some down here please! I can use the car wash.
Okay, watch for it, it’s coming your way.
I think this may be the last we see until
the end of summer.
It was bright and sunny here today! Complete opposite of yesterday. How was your Sunday Marls?
Hey you! Did you guys get any rain?
It was sunny here as well, bit windy

Texas flooded, I win!

Hi guys! Been working back at my old job! Good to be home.
Morning Sal. I figured you were busy with the move and
all. So are you all settled back in. How do the birdies like their new place?

I think that’s great you are with her.
Plus, you have your work, sounds
good for all concerned.
Yes all of the schools I sub for are close by to me!
That’s great Sal. It cuts down on your

Greetings from the nice and warm PacNW. Finally made it to my days off!
It was really nice here today. Rain on Saturday, phooey!
Stay safe Trace!
Ok…the avatar I had reverted back to the Kraken logo. I don’t know what happened with my Mariners avatar
When you changed your name it didn’t recognize you.
Which one do you prefer. The avatar matches the name.
t is all good Marlie, came back yesterday picked up the dogs. Now it is back to normal. Austin with friends is always nice.
You were in Austin visiting? I didn’t know.
Was it a fun trip with lots of conversation
and vino?
Sad news for us. My oldest brother died
last week, very sad.
Oh Marlie, I am so very sorry.
Thank you Trace. It’s been hard to
accept his passing but I am coming
to grips with it. Matter of fact today
would have been his 76th birthday.
How awful for your family. Hard to lose a sibling and stay sane.
Morning Trace. Yes, it is hard, very hard
to lose family members. Our
original family has shrunk down to
two for now.
I’ve been meaning to ask. How is
your family doing these days?
we drank whiskey and scotch, ate out and went dancing in a nicely built honky tonk
Honky Tonk that’s a word/s I rarely
hear. Whiskey and Scotch, whooo,
sounds like hangover city to me.
It is Texas, that is what they call them. This place is huge in a semi rural area. Beautiful property, rolling hills even a playground for children. They are open during the day. On weekend nights they bring in bands. Rod Stewart cover band in a rural redneck are. Have to love it.

Greetings from a gray area. I can’t believe it’s raining hard in April!
I don’t know where you live, but it sounds like Texas, rain all the time except in summer.
We should be so lucky here.
I live 40 minutes outside of Seattle
Did you try what I suggested?
Ha, why are you surprised, it is the Pacific North
west after all.
I spoke to J3 yesterday.
It’s overcast, but the sun is still out. I suppose this is the time of year where the Cullen vampire family flees Washington and hides out in Brazil during their winter time (Twilight book reference 🙂 )
It’s great you got in contact with the cuzzins again. I look forward to hear from him.

I don’t recall much about any of them.
So maybe your screen isn’t wide enough?
Yeah that’s the problem. The screen isn’t wide enough.
What might help is that you scroll all
the way down past the comments.
The only movie I saw from beginning to end was the first one, and it took me 4 tries. The first book was good, but the other three got gradually worse.
Ann Rice was the best writer about vampires…period.
You’re right Anne was the best. I had/
have a lot of her books.
Happy Saturday peeps!
Good morning! Been up since 5 a.m. 🙂
Morning! I got up around 5:45.
It’s just getting light here. I love Spring!
Spring and summers here are always nice. Downside is that the cats know it’s spring too, and they want to be on the balcony at 4 a.m.
I was thinking that the summers must be
pretty mild there. Hopefully Canada doesn’t
have a major burn like last year. Maybe the kitties are like me, they want to watch the sun come up catch
some morning bird song.
Been sick the last few days, right when spring is starting to spring here. YUCK!
Oh, that’s too bad. I have been sneezing quite
a bit myself. We’ve been working outside. The
weather is great not too..anything.
Happy monday morning! Had a great day relaxing yesterday. Looking for more of the same (peace and relaxation) until Friday!
Good morning. I thought you were starting full time
this week. Was there a change in plans? I’ve been
adding to the site the last couple of days. Check out

Oh, okay. I must have gotten the weeks
mixed up.
More time to hang with the kitties, right?
The boys are already bored with me. They know I don’t let them get away with things the hubby does. 🙂
Hey you, what’sssss up?
I know what you mean, mine is
the same way. Enjoying yourself
or are you getting bored too.
Good morning peeps!
Happy Sunday!
Another test today of some minor trouble with the top tight corner of the page.
Dumb luck, huh? The problem seems to be solved.
