Coming around to June 1 in a day or two. Haven't been doing very much since my last post. Got involved in a project on Wednesday. Our tomatoes are getting rip but something is eating them before we can pick them. Jo's research has led her to believe it is birds. So we decided to cover the plants with bird netting. I am building a frame to drape the netting over and still allow us to pick the fruit (maybe a vegetable). I hope to finish the project tomorrow. I am sure there will be a picture on face book.
Tonight is one of those nights when it is hard to fall asleep. They took out almost 8 pounds at the center today. That's quite a lot. I watched the basket ball game after it was over I was really tired. Layed down for a while but didn't rest much. Thought writing a little would help me relax.
Take care.

Very techie today. Got a google laptop for my b-day from my lovely wife. Been playing around try to learn how it works. So then I got my old laptop and began to clean out some of the things on the hard drive. Needless to say it was behind on several updates. It runs Windows Vista(does that mean it has a great view?) and I found it rather slow. Then I started looking to change some things on my desktop. It was at this point that I realized I don't know much about computers. I know just enough not to get myself in trouble. (Speeling is not a subject, that's why you have spell check.)
April was a busy month. Mia arrived early in the month, it had been three years since she was here last. Jo and Mia talked like they had seen each other a day or so ago. I enjoy Mia's visits. She is so cheerful and happy. Good cook too!!!!!! We had a very relaxed and easy time. Easter Sunday my family come over from Burbank and Dixon. Sandy and Tristan from UT, Isabel and Jeff from SD. Mia cooked her wonderful Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, carrots. Very, very good. My brother's b-day is in May so we shared a b-day cake. The girls got me a cast iron dutch oven. I had been wanting one for some time just didn't let myself buy it. Rick and Christina are very proud parents and they should be. David come and it was good to see him. Bettie and Lee have have good family. They were a big help to me when I first moved here, before Jo and the girls moved. The day was a good day.
Take care.

The weekend was good. Got and insect bite of some kind on my right calf, got sore and red. Still red but somewhat better. Weather has been warm almost hot.
Jo planted some strawberry's today in a hanging strawberry container. Maybe the bugs won't eat the berry's but the birds might. Our yard is looking very good. The rose's in the front yard are blooming. They look good.
Maybe we will get some corn plants put in by the pineapple sage. Be nice to have some home grown sweet corn.
Glad T is expanding his food horizon's.
Things are normal here, just going about daily living.
Take care, love to all.

A very good rain we had last week. Still below the normal rainfall but it helped a lot. Our raining season ends last of March. This weekend the forecast is temps in 80's.
Saw a movie today on TV called "Wooly Boys" liked it a lot.
The solar battery charger seems to be doing the job. Been about 10 days since I started the ssr and it fired right off.
Our patio swing needs a new top cover. The problem is we can not find a replacement cover. To remove the top frame and have one made is and option but maybe more expensive than a new swing. We will need to check into this and make a descion soon. It is pleasant to sit in the swing and enjoy the garden and the birds.
We are well and looking forward to a visit from Mia.
Take care.

A rainy weekend in SoCal. Mud slides in the burn areas, river rescues, Sig Alerts on the freeways. It seems rain is so rare here people don't know how to act. Of coarse all the TV stations are on storm alert. We are on the down slope of the mountains, where does the water flow? To the sea, to the sea people. Now the people who live on the ocean front in low lying places have to deal with high tide and storm surge. Kinda like being caught between a rock and a hard place.
I was given a form to fill out from the Center on Tuesday. It was about quality of life. As I read the questions it made me think how I was feeling. I am not very good at sharing my feelings or thinking to much about them. Some of the questions caused me to search my heart before I could answer. Given the medical problems I have and the treatments I am taking, I have decided my quality of life is good.
Have a good night, love to all.

Hello all,
This week marked a milestone for me. Jo and I had our 49th wedding anniversary. Thinking back to when I first met her and how we seemed to get along from the start. We both took a chance that it would work. We have had our ups and downs over the years, but some how it has worked out. I can't say how but loving each other, and respecting each other will go a long way. Two wonderful children who we love and care so much about. All in all it has been a great trip through life. How would my life have been other wise? I simply can't image.
Thank you Sandy for the nice card. I thought you expressed yourself very well.
Nice day here, I may go to Costco later and do a little shopping. Don't really need anything but feel like I want to get out and around.
Have a good day, smile and tell someone they look great.

Garlic mayo, ribeye steak grilled with boiled red spuds. That's what we had for dinner. Also some brownies. It has been a very relaxing day here on the homestead, Isabel is here for the weekend. Good to have her company. Lulu is very happy when Isabel comes to visit. I enjoy just spending time with Isabel. We don't try to solve the worlds problems, it just a natural flow of conversation. Quiet time mixed in, just very pleasant.
Not much going on tonight. Watched some of the "Games". The ISA is having a tough time on the ski slopes. They are trying hard but luck is not on their side. Saw some bobsledding. USA hanging in there, maybe they will win a medal.
Have a good night. Be happy.
