3 youngest grandchildren

Marisa, Marcus and Andrea. A fun evening! We went to the little Mexican place near us. Everyone enjoyed their food. We came back and they had bought a pie and ice cream so that they could include Bud on dessert. I was too full. It was interesting on watching take care of the bill and tip. It is much easier going out with one at a time. Marcus is still as much a cut up as ever. At least he is working and making some money. He is moving into a duplex. Marisa starts to college on her birthday. She has her schedule. Andrea gets her schedule in high school on Friday.
I am tired tonight, nothing planned tomorrow, so I may sleep in until 7:30 then work on my peppers.
Until tomorrow...

University Falls

University Falls was on one of our hiking trips long ago. I didn't change the color of the rocks. I don't know why it is green.
A nice picture of Alyssa. I voted for her. It will be a picture that she will cherish all her life. Sounds like you had a very busy day today. Did you go to IHOP for breakfast? Tomorrow is my day to go out with Marcus, Marisa and Andrea. They wanted to take me out since I always take them out for their birthdays. We are going out for dinner since Marisa works all week end.
Today was another good (lazy) day. Except I will never again eat my favorite ice cream....Hagan Dass with almonds. It upset my stomach and gave me diarrhea plus more coughing. It has way too much fat in it anyway. I have to get my food figured out before Yosemite and Branson. Yosemite is a week away. I think I would feel better if I didn't eat but then I wouldn't have any energy. Bud has started reading some of my nutrition books.
The computer says it is going to shut down in 6 minutes. That's my clue to get off and go to bed.
I hope you have a restful night and a good tomorrow.

Lost is Found

The lost is found! No, they were not found there. I bought 2 new pair of prescription sunglasses not long ago. One is continually dark and the other changes with the light so I can use them at night also. I always keep them in the car (most of the time ) If I don't I lose them. So far so good until I got ready to go on vacation. I searched the car throughly, I searched my purse upteen times. I looked all over the house. I thought, Oh no, I have done it again! Lost my prescription glasses!! Today, I was getting something out of the floor of the car...I felt something where the seatbelt attaches to the floor, next to the seat. IT WAS MY GLASSES! My blessing for the day. I don't really need anymore. It was a good day tho. I changed the beds, washed sheets and hung them out on the line. I can hardly wait to go to bed!! That was a chore in itself. Then to the tomatoes, I got that sauce made but I don't think I will use that recipe again. I made Kindra's portabella mushroom recipe that she made for me while we were there. That also was a lot of work. I am used to simple things in cooking. Still I had a good day. I read this from your friend Tina's face book. I put this in my book that Lori Jo gave me,

"There are moments in your life that make you set the course of who you're going to be.
Sometimes they are little subtle moments.
Sometimes they are big moments you never saw coming.
No one asks for their life to change, but it does. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."

Solaeized Laiko

This was taken when Bud and I did a lot of hiking with the tennis club.This is our hiking leader's wife and I solarized the picture and got some different colors.
How was the book signing? What a busy day you have. I think that I am done with busy days. I did go down and exercise tho. I felt so much better. I think I am getting back to my pre vacation days. My arm swelling has gone down quite a bit. I go see that therapist next week. I guess working on tomatoes will be tomorrow. I still have things to put away from vacation.
I know your tomorr will be busy also.I just remembered that I left my phone in the car.

Tomatos

How is the new you today. Class is over and you are just beginning. Can't wait to see you! Was Rod disappointed when you didn't come home with purple hair???
Today was a slow day. I went to a meeting tonight and watched a movie afterwards. I was going to do something with those tomatos but rested instead. Maybe tomorrow... Last night I put new solar batteries in my old solar lights and they are all burning tonight. I wanted to do that before you came but I went to so many stores and they didn't sell them. I found them at Home Depot. I should have known.
I just finished having one of those ginger candies that all of you got me at the senior fair. I think I will go buy some.
Enjoy your new you tomorrow.

Burney Falls

I had been here before but it was much prettier than before. Because of our rainfall and extra snow melt, it is much prettier. I wish we had more time to stay there.
Today was Costco day and that tires me out. Always did! I don't have anything else today tho. I even picked up one of their rotteriso chickens and we have left over rice and beans so I don't have to do anything for dinner.
I am so anxious to see how your day went, how the new you look, everything about it. A perfect time for it with your big weight loss. I can't see them changing your hair color much but I see the brown's coming out of your clothes and into lighter colors. Am I right?? Maybe I will find out tomorrow??

Floor of SOU library

I know that I sent you floor designs before. So much more interesting than just a floor. After my long walk the first day in Ashland, I decided to make my walk on the campus the next day. That was big enough! The library was a beautiful building with lots of glass with a dome and then this floor.
It was good to talk to you on your break. This has been on the top of your list for a long time. I am glad the time has come. You have to do things when you can.
My day was o.k. I stayed home all day. My 91 year old friend thinks that I am finally learning to take care of myself. She is probably right!
Enjoy tomorrow.
