  • When does jet lag end?

    I still have no energy. Could it be the weather extremes I just encountered? My sinus are still draining down the back of my throat annoying me. Left ear has crackling sounds and I don't remember getting water in it yest…

  • Last night we came close

    So very close, but the rain blew over! Perhaps though that is why our temperature this morning was 78 degrees. Comfortable for a short while. Glad I thought to put the shade up in the windshield when I went to the pool. …

  • Grin and more guessing

    I found this bottle in Joan's Garage Sale store in Langlois OR. Passed by it after grins and talking to Marge about it. But I came back to it on the second trip. My funny bone just couldn't resist. Figured a man's cheape…

  • Please, some rain.

    Posted a grown up un sized picture of this from Annie's Garden on the group page to see if someone could tell me what it is. Loved this flower. Eryngium X Zabellii or known as Sea Holly, related to the carrot btw. Famil…

  • Yesterday we almost broke a record high.

    It was 101 yesterday, 102 the record. Of course I was inside dressed in my summer duster. Wish I could wear that everywhere. You will be seeing plenty of pictures from Annie's Garden. I spent a lot of time there, not j…

  • One last shot on the way out

    Yesterday I knew the name of these trees. Today I don't. Sent a plea to Dee to shake up my brain. Keep thinking along the lines of madrone. ?? We actually stopped on the way to the airport to capture this. (also a bridg…

  • Nervous Already

    Flying does not make me nervous but checking in does! Finding my gate in time does! Who might be seat partners? Will they talk or have their nose stuck in a book or gaze out the window I wish I could sit by? Last night o…

  • On My Own Day

    Dee's grandson is graduating from culinary school today. "Of course you should go, I'll be fine" was my comment to her. After all I haven't finished the Betty Davis book yet, and I picked up a local history account this …

  • Lovely Day, sweater off to walk

    After lunch I had to go for a walk. Why? Because my sugar was the highest it has been in a long time. That came as a complete suprise. After breakfast of raisin bran and a cup of tea with a skimpy tsp. of sugar, a trip d…

  • Answers and stuff

    Those stacks in the lighthouse pictures are rocks. Aren't they fascinating? the camera is not mine but my friends and the batteries are AA's.This is my macro of a hydrangea. I hope you can see the center clearly. The man…

  • Another view of the lighthouse

    Those stacks fascinate me.We learned something about camera batteries that I think is important to pass on.Dee bought some new rechargeable batteries for her camera. She discovered the little door was not shut all the wa…

  • Another view of lens and other stuff

    This shot was very hard for me to get as we were about a foot from this huge Fresnel lens and were not to move from the rubber mat or touch the lens of course. Add to that we were crowded like sardines in a can along the…

  • Cape Blanco today!

    This meant so much to me today. Though I could of killed the volunteer giving the information up in the lamp room as he waved his hands about. He had alerted anyone who tried to talk while he was that they would get to c…

  • Suns out now, clear skies

    Not so this morning. Overcast and Dee suggested we may want to wait as any pictures from the lighthouse would be nothing. So we didn't go. I didn't sleep well last night with sinus so was late getting up anyway.Mailed th…

  • Picture will come last!

    Not in the mood in the least to mess with the new method of putting pictures in. Used to be so easy, click picture, upload and wrap it and type away. Now I find myself on another page!My cord arrived today and now all my…

  • Will I get the picture in?

    Why isn't it showing? I uploaded it, said text to the left and look where the text is going? Just a coast picture Dee took with me in it. Today I am fighting bad sinus, started last night. I only have sudafed with m…

  • Oh my few bits of info

    I do not like this new editor! I have no idea why that is underlined over there. Some notes: Michel I am using my friends lap top. I don't own one. She's on dial up too. Let's see who thought I was gone for the weeke…

  • Hi all

    Landed safely. Had packed a lunch, stuck it in carryon, carryon got stuck in the hold as there was no room overhead in that plane. The flight attendant came to my rescue with an extra box from the first class section. L…

  • Not a new editor!

    Why not just leave things the way they are if they are working? Or at least wait until I get back from vacation! Granted so far this looks rather like my email set up so shouldn't befuddle me too much. Let's see what hap…

  • What kind of day will this be?

    I've been up since 4:30 a.m. and now listening to Charlie meow for his morning walk. "It's still dark Charlie" I tell this blind cat. The other one is laying behind my chair. I swivel to pat Charlie's head and Chandler g…

  • I'm Starving!

    Wish I could have some of this salad I had earlier this year while in Fredricksburg TX. The chicken in the crock pot is now done. It was supposed to be ready at lunch time. Some how the crock pot ended up turned off. …

  • I would love to do this!

    Walk the Line. Yes indeed I would. Seems I'd have to wait til winter, get some hiking boots and a stick for balance and maybe a compass because I'd get lost. Or snake bit, or ant bit, or get into poision ivy or oak. To…

  • Is someone playing mind games?

    Before I forget I found this morning I was outbid on the insulator. I knew that would happen. I swear they have their friends laying in wait to boost the price. Someone sent this in email this morning. I am going to se…

  • Have I lost my mind?

    Would you believe I bid on this? At the time there was only a dollar bid on it, and I went to $2.50 and no sooner submitted to find someone else had bid 2.75. So I upped it to 3.50 I think. That's it. I don't need anoth…
