Jack rabbit Feb. 25, 2011

While playing bridge today, this jackrabbit came up to my friend's place. She lives on the edge of a green belt and golf course. My cards weren't very good so I could watch him. We were in the house so he couldn't see us. Then a covey of quail came up and played behind him. I couldn't get that picture, I had to get back to the cards. I thought maybe the Lions and Lambs would come and they would all lay down together and peace would come to the world.
I love that picture of Terry and Braden! I hope it was entered somewhere or published.
Before and after bridge, I cleaned out my friend's ( the one whose house reminds me of Grandma Gibbs) refrigerator
With the refrigerator, I think she reminds me more of mother. She is 85+, lives alone and broke her arm in the same place that I broke mine. So I know she is so limited in what she can do. She had so many leftovers and many questionable ones. I brought her too much food so that is going to add to it. Next week, I know to bring less.
This has been a very busy day. It is supposed to be in the 20's tonight so I am going to turn my electric mattress pad up to high.

I thought I would get some more spring pictures in but I think this is it. We are going back to winter. It is supposed to be in the 20's (low) tomorrow and the next day. The mountains are already getting lots of snow. The picture of Alabama brings back good memories and it was cold then too!
I took my test this afternoon. I didn't do great and I didn't do bad. Now I have to finish my report before tuesday. I got so busy with school, I didn't take time to write down my food. Kinda scary! I am going to bridge tomorrow afternoon. We decided to not do nibbles so that is good. She usually does a fairly low cal desert. I also have to make a meat loaf for a lady who fell and broke her shoulder and she lives alone. She is in her upper 80's and her house is like Grandma Gibbs. She also has a cat and dog so the house smells.Since she is sorta on my way, I will stop on the way to heat up her lunch , on the way back to heat up her dinner. I know how it is to have one arm.

American River near Folsom Feb.21, 2011

Not much time but I will send you my sunny day picture from yesterday while doing Kindra's pictures. It was a super busy day yesterday but fun. Today was really going to be busy also. But the lady who is drawing up our landscape plans for the church had a death in the family and couldn't make it. That gave me a little more time to recuperate and try to catch up on school. We may have a test tomorrow. I don't think I will do good on that but we get extra credit if we turn in hand written study guide answers. That is what I have to finish tonight. I will need that extra credit. I don't know what ever possesed me to take a history class! Names, dates, all that stuff. I really would prefer to go to conferences but I don't have any to go to. And I was bored when I signed up for school.
Back to the books!!

Robbie with my red wig on Feburary 18, 2011

How is Dioni doing?
Fun going through old pictures. I bet Dioni enjoyed looking at those. I found this one of Robbie with my wig on. Phil didn't recognize her.
It has been so windy and raining the last few days. The wind really got me one day. It bothers my sinuses. It has been hard to sleep laying down. It drains down my throat. I went to bed at 8:30 the other night and didn't go to school the next day. I hated to miss. Now I don't have so much drainage, just coughing and blowing my nose.
Our church takes part in the community of feeding the homeless. Tonight was our night. I decided to go. We usually have 60 to feed. Tonight we had 90. There are more homeless now and our weather has been pretty bad.
Bed time .

I know you are so happy to have Dioni's surgery behind you and it went so well. How many days until swimming??
It is raining tonight. The wind is really blowing. I was going to walk to school but the wind was so strong, it was hard to get to school. We need the rain and I am happy to see it. I want it to leave on Sat. with everyone coming over.
I am tired tonight and I think the wind made me tired so I am going to bed a little early.

Happy valentine's Day! I am glad to hear that Dioni's surgery went well! We went out to eat at a nice restaurant and so did everyone else. Food was good but it was very noisy. Of course Bud suffered with his hearing aid so he wasn't very happy. If I could count my food counts, they would be up but I chose wisely. I lost 0.8 pounds this week but I am happy enough.
Busy day today, busy day tomorrow, so to bed I go.

On my camping trip last fall to Mono Lake. This is the overlook before going down into the area.
We will have prayers out for Dioni in the morning, I have a early morning too, I have to leave the house at 7:00 in the morning for therapy, then it is weight watchers.
I picked up some store reading glasses today. My eyes have really been bothering me since I started this class. Lot of it is in fine print.
