Andrea's friend, Andrea, Kindra, Joey and his girlfriend Oct. 10, 2010

We only had 12 for dinner, how did your 23 work out. That is a lot of people. I got a stomach ach for some reason that I don't know. This was hours before every one came over. I have had lots of tums and then I remembered the ginger for stomach problems. I think it may be better. I hope so.
I would love to work with Courtnie and pictures. I think I could help her. I will bring some older magazines that she can have that might help. I hate to see people being negative.. If they can only get a passion for one thing, it will often get them to be more positive in other areas too.
I am going to bed. My stomach is much more setteled.

Bodie after the rain October 9, 2010

Bodie is a ghost town near Mammoth or Mono Lake. It came a downpour while we were there. I got drenched, my rain coat was in the van. This picture was taken shortly after the rain quit.
I hope you are having a good time tonight with everyone and the dogs. How long do you have the dogs? We have everyone tomorrow afternoon. NO DOGS though. I got hamburger meat. Robin is doing the rest. I didn't get all my camping stuff put away today. One thing I missed. I went to Sam's and then over to Walmart. Made me think of Paragould. I don't go to the superstore very often.

Reflections October 8, 2010

I love reflections! We got so many in late afternoon at Lundy canyon. None of us wanted to go back to camp.
I was tired before I read your blog. Now I am tireder(is that a word). You have more energy than anyone I know. Do they call you Ms. Avon yet?? Rod had better take some pep pills before working with you. You deserve to be at the top!
As I said, I am tired. I am going to bed earlier tonight. Bridge is over. Tomorrow is a free day!!!

October 6, 2010 Tufa on the lake

Tufa on Mono Lake. It is very striking. This is another early morning shot.

Today was a very sad day for me. I dropped my membership in the tennis club that I have belonged to for over 20 years. I don't think I will be able to play tennis again but I do a lot of exercise there and most of my friends are there. It is pretty expensive and where Bud goes is much less. They don't offer as much but I will give it a try. In the meantime I can finish the month where I am.
I got a30 % off card from Kohl's so I went shopping there and to Sam's, also got gas. The gas is now up to $2.81.

Tomorrow I have to bake and clean house since I am having bridge at my house friday afternoon

October 5, 2010 Sunrise over Mono Lake

5:30 both Mornings so we could get there a little earlier than sun rise and then we would stay until 8:00. Then back for breakfast . We had a good group of people-------all ages. Of course, I was the oldest! It is late again. Off to bed after my shower.

October 4, 2010 Our driver on my school camp trip

I got back from the school photography camping trip. It rained each night but just as we were going to bed. It also rained part of an afternoon. I learned some things about the digital camera that I never understood before and I saw the value of the tripod more. I enjoyed the people in the class, I had no trouble with my knees and the scenery was nice. The bad thing was, it was dirtier than most school trips and we were up at 5:30 in the morning for sunrise pictures. I was glad that I didn't mind getting up early. The sunrises were great. Today was our monthly tennis luncheon. There were 2 of us for September birthdays. I couldn't make it at the end of the month so we had it in October. The other birthday girl had it at her house. She has done some extensive remodeling and it looks real good and she has lots of room.
I need to brush my teeth and get to bed. It is already after midnight.

Days from the past October 1, 2010

A quick note before I leave for the weekend. Off to my photography class. The teacher said it wouldn't rain, just cold. Checking the weather, 30% chance of thunderstorms all 3 days. ugh-you know how I love thunderstorms. EXCEPT there is the 70% left. I guess it is like the glass being half full or half empty.
How are you doing? I will be glad when you get all your medical appointments finished. Norma seems to be doing ok.
I need to empty the dishwasher before I go. Talk to you after I get back.
