I just wanted to post a quicky. I am terribly excited, we found out that my daughter is having a girl. I went to visit her this last weekendand was given a surpise Christmas gift. I was able to be present at her ultra sound to find out the sex of my newest grandchild. While I would be happy for a healthy child or either sex I was tickled "PINK" to find out it is a girl.

We are afloat here in the desert right now ne have had nearly nonstop rain for 4 days now, the Serria Nevada Mountain range just to the west of us is covered with snow and according to the weather station we are due for the mother of all storms tonight. Two storms are colliding above us, one from the north and one from the south. I guess I better batton down the hatches. Dont tell no-one but I am excited I love storms!! I have a good supply of food and heat is gas so if the lights are lost "oh well" I just wont have the internet.

They're Here!!

They're back!! I love it when the snow geese come here. They spend the larger part of the winter here. It is warm and they feed till they are full on the insects they find in the grass, .... yes we have grass in the desert. I cant begin to describe the feeling I get watching and listening to them fly across the valley from west to east at night and then travel back east to west in the morning. they have perfect formation and you can hear the lead geese calling out the cadence. Fore the most part they are all white with black tips on their wings. Our skys are so clear and a briliant shade of blue, which makes the Geese stand out. I am always sorry to see them leave when it warms up in May. But I am sure where they are going someone is waiting in anticipation for their noisy arrival.

It is the day after my birthday. It was a good one as birthdays go after you have hit the top of the hill and are headed down the other side. the ones I love the most were here and we had a great time. I was concerned for half a minute, as I was having a Murphy sort of day. First I had a flat on my way to my Doctors appointment, then after I stopped at Burger king for a dollar menu lunch while I was ordering the car behind developed a mind of its own while the drivers attentions were in the back seat with her children, and I was smacked father firmly from behind. Before I knew it I was collared and taped to a back board and on my way to the ER. Long story short I am fine sore in a place or two but in one piece. The car? Just a little scratch.

I am decorating bit by bit for Christmas. My tree is up and lit but not finished with all the bobbles and such. the outdoor lights are up and pretty. I decided it was better to take my time. It is so less stressfull this way. And I am enjoying myself. Going through the boxes of things I have collected over the years brings back many sweet memories.

I hope all your Christmas preperations are full of love and laughter,

I was working away on writing and I became aware that the purring had gotten much louder. How strange I thought and I turned to have this sweet little face just inches from mine. Aren't her blue eyes to die for. I rescued her from the pound 3 years ago this month. I was told she was 2 years old when I got her so she should be about 5. You cant tell to look at her she still has a sweet innocent baby face. and she still plays like a kitten. Happybirthday Sweetpea!!
