Folks

Here is Angie catching her first sunset in her new 'digs' ;  She made a fast trip to Sacramento then hopped in her car and off she went 'home' to Newport, Oregon.  One very happy camper.    A new job, a new apartment and a new life style.   Congratulations Angie and Good Luck. 

Meanwhile in Prescott, Arizona where Bob and Andrea are entertaining their daughter Wendy who is home visiting from Japan, a walk into town and the three townsmen are out and about entertaining the town folks as well as visitors.    They dress up and go out there and make the folks feel at home.   And the guns are real.   Who says retirees can't find something to do with their time.    

Even Putin of Russia isn't safe from our political cartoonists.    A strong and fearless leader who is out to rejuvenate his country and wants to be the leader of the world, and is busy making Obama bray like a Jackass and succeeding.   

Here it is another weekend.  Seems I just said that.    The days go flying by and I am happy having daughter Patricia home from her mini vacation.    Christine has returned to Port Orchard and will relish some alone time as she has had family visitors for months now.   The medical visits are over for a short while and the MRI proved to show little change since the last one and that is good news.   Pat  is happy to hear the news but wishes she felt a lot better than she does as the MS takes toll on her walking .   An insidious disease that needs a cure  .So, when you donate to causes, keep the MS march in mind.  The experts are working on a cure and Sweden is ahead with a test on white blood cells.   Light a candle and say a prayer for all the folks suffering from the autoimmune diseases;  life is not easy for those folks.

Pat and I had lunch out at the Casino yesterday.  I know, I know, I said I wasn't going to eat there since they raised the prices but I found they did give a larger plate for the salad bar and that is what we usually go for, soup and salad.   Yesterday they had a red pepper soup which was different and very tasty.   There are new and larger machines and it must cost a fortune to keep changing the machines out.   That is at least ten new ones in the last few months.    Doesn't make any difference though, as you have to be at the right machine at the right time if you are to win back some of your own money.  Much like our income tax.

So, hopefully you are having the first signs of Spring, now that it is  official, but don't go putting on your summer shorts as the weather pattern is always iffy this time of year.    I remember many  a snow storm on Easter Sunday.   Speaking of Easter, it is a month away, what do you want to bet the stores are working on Fourth of July items to sell.     I'm off to have my coffee and open the other eye.    If you were out and about you could stop in and I'd share, might even whip up an omelet to go with it.     I'd even spare a hug or two.   Hugs to all.
