Here once again, and so much to catch up on. I now have a new computer that actually works, which is something I'm quite happy to report on. However, not long ago I lost my other computer, as it just died on me and I lost many hundreds of pictures, infact over a thousand of pictures. So, I begin once again and I've done this before.
There is much news to share on, as there is often. I do enjoy those quiet still times also, where everything just seems to be settled in a peaceful place at the time. Those times never last, as life move on and grows, just as it is suppose to do. So, the news that i share at this time, will be unfolding forever now, as our lives continue to change.
Lets see. At the moment, Heidi and Charlie, along with the kids are off camping for vacation along the coast. We've had flooding rains for a week and many roads have been washed out. I have thought of them, huddled in the tent as the rains poured down and everyone a bit on edge. Though, I hope that is not the case and their campsite is the only dry, sunny spot in the state. Somehow though, I'm doubting that is the case. Still, she has not returned home as yet, so something good must be happening and now it is Saturday and the sun is finally out.
From the rains that we've been having, the lawns are a deep, thick plush carpet. Unusally for this time of the summer when they are usually turning brown from lack of rain and needing that never ending chore of watering everything with the hose every night. Hardly the case this summer. The flowers are all in beautiful, colorful bloom and I've again taken pictures. Everything has multiplied and as I always see the colors and forms blossom each year, it reminds me of bursting fireworks, every changing.
I've yet to post my own vacation pictures, with my sister, on here except for the title one. I do believe I've managed to save them as I did still hold over 100 pictures on my camera:) So, if lucky I will find those and be able to put some on here. I am still learning of this new computer.
My youngest daughter has finally met the love of her life and is engaged. I recently sent the announcement into the newspaper. They will be moving into a new home at the end of the month, and they are expecting a baby, as she is near 3 months pregnant. I never thought I would have another grandchild, but I will be, and we are all thrilled about this. Its been a long time since there was a baby in the family. I look forward and of course, this will become part of this site.
Bits and pieces of news; I've cut my hair and like it so much that every time I go back for a trim, I ask it be cut a bit more than just a trim. Also, it is more brown now with a few lighter highlights to it. I'm happily back in touch with a long lost friend that I had met and became friends with when I lived in Alaska, some 35 years ago. We had always remained in contact though lost touch about 8 years ago. I had tried to find her again and couldn't but I always knew that we would be in touch again and that we would find one another again sometime, after all, we always had regardless of gaps in our communication at times. Well, she found me, and once again we are in contact. This is the first time though that we have computers and can have emails to keep us together. Before, we always wrote pigeon express, the old fashion pen, paper and a stamp.
There is one writing which I am working on, that is long overdue. Hopefully soon this special post will be complete and added, along with my twisted sister's writing:) She may think by now that I have forgotten, but I have not at all. Its in the works.
Stay tuned..........
