Good morning Everyone,
I'm so happy to see all the posts & read about every one's weekend. Sounds like you were all busy having fun.
Yes, that is another picture at the Grand Canyon. If you have been there you know that there is a lot of diversity in the rock colors & formations. I just wish we had been able to stay for sunset. Don't let me go there!! I don't like holding a grudge but...
Margie, I'm so glad to hear another opinion on The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I just loved it! When it comes out on DVD I will watch it again. Great humor & I can relate to the retirement issues even though it is different in England. Hearing about Gavin helping to water brings back memories of my youngest. I can't begin to tell you how many times that she got into trouble with water as a little girl!! We had a lot of wind here in the last week also but no thunder & lightening or rain, not even a sprinkle. Margie I hope you didn't take offense at the Latino/Latina remark because I sure did not mean it that way. They carry a lot of items that have both Spanish & English, it is the colors, etc. Hard to put it into words. Because of the vineyards we do have a lot of Spanish speaking people in the area. They seem to have a real gift for agriculture & are hard workers.
Sandi, I'm laughing about Mike not grilling/BBQing!!! Too funny! Even I could BBQ when I lived somewhere that I could! My ex wasn't good at that either so I learned. Maybe hearing about you clearing out books will inspire me. I've done small sorting out but need to really go through the shelves & bags of books to do more. I usually donate to one of the library sales or sometimes add them to a bookshelf here at our complex so other can read. There are a few here that read romance but most of them don't like the "naughty" ones. Guess they can't even say sexy or hot!!!! To each his own.
DonnaH, Welcome back. Glad you had a good trip & enjoyed the visit with your sister. Catch up when you can. I'll be doing that after Oregon. I might be able to check in a couple of time but will just have to wait & see. Mostly when I am in Oregon with family & friends I don't think about the Internet to much except for my bank account!!!
Last night I did not get home until shortly after 11 o'clock. The people I was house/pet sitting for had a long delay in Chicago after boarding the plane. The delay was so long that at some point they let people off to eat, use the restroom etc. I talked to them at one point & they said it had something to do with the air conditioning. She was worried about my Belgian chocolate that they bought for me melting! Hope it is still edible!! They started out their day in Belgium which is 9 hours ahead of us so by the time they got home they had probably been up for over 24 hours. They were already wiped out from two weeks of traveling, sightseeing & just wanted to be home. They were still not home at 11 pm. I hope they got there soon after. Once they arrived in San Francisco they should have been able to get their bags & head for the car. I'm guessing that they went through customs in Chicago. I think it is at your first point of entry into the US. I'll find out after I get to talk to them. Maybe tomorrow. Anyway, it was midnight before I got to bed, then I needed to read awhile because I was tired but wide awake. I watched the 20/20 by Katie Couric on the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth. Very interesting & enjoyable.
I best get busy as I haven't even gotten dressed yet. Later I am having a haircut & need to get myself to a grocery store. There is absolutely nothing to eat here!!! Where I was staying is the lady that has Celiac disease so I need pasta!!! I had toast this morning!! Amazing how we can feel deprived.
Wish the light had been better for this one! Still, it is the Grand Canyon!!! Good memories.
Have a great day, happy reading,
Donna M
