Hello Again!
Now you are all wondering why the again! Well, Saturday late afternoon I was here caught up on all the posts, wrote a long post including pictures, then when I was correcting a misspelled word it all disappeared. I think I accidentally brushed a key on the keyboard, not sure which one but I was not happy!! Yesterday I just never got around to coming back. No real excuse either other than maybe disgust that it could disappear so easily.
The above picture is in Chinatown. The lanterns hung up above are so pretty. This area of San Francisco is a very popular tourist destination. After spending several hours there I came to the conclusion that it is getting very run down & shabby looking. A little cleaning up, sprucing up would make a huge difference. A restaurant that was at one time a favorite is all boarded up, looks sad. The people in the picture are there because I couldn't get one without people getting into my view! Not one of my better pictures.
On Saturday I did read all the posts, made comments to each of you. I'm sure I will leave something out but I did not go back to read everything, but most of them. Here goes!
Amanda, loved the picture of you & the family in the helicopter. One of my long time wishes is to ride in a helicopter. I will go up in just about anything! I love planes, flying. My first plane ride was from Medford to San Francisco, CA. when I was probably 9 years old. My grandparents lived in San Jose at the time. One of my uncles along with his family was also on the plane with me. After that first time I always went alone. That was so long ago when it was safe for children to do that. The airline always took good care of me, made sure I was met by my grandparents. They were always there waiting for me. Did your girls like the helicopter? Nice to know that your girls are doing good in school.
Donna H, Yea, on the good news from your doctor. A visit like that makes the day better. I'm happy to hear your health is improving with your life style change. Is your daughter doing okay after that nasty fall? I hurt just reading about it. Your Thanksgiving/birthday get together sounds like it was great fun. What is pepe? I've never heard of it. The pie sounded good. I do love my sweets!!
Trudy, all this legal "stuff" just has to stop soon. I cannot believe it has all dragged out this long & that more has come up. No wonder people get low opinions of lawyers. I'm so glad you have the Celtic "lads" to look forward to. At least you know you will have an enjoyable evening at the performance. I'll look forward to hearing about it.
Cady, maybe by now you have heard something from Maggie's teacher. I hope he will have a suggestion that will be helpful for her. How soon is her eye appointment? Your day at the church with the paths & tower sounded like fun. Going up & down those steps will really get to you when you are not use to it.
Margie, if I remember correctly you had your yard sale this weekend. I hope that went well. I'll look forward to you telling us about it. Selling the clothes over the Internet sounds like it is good. Did you do more of that yet? Did you get rain today? We had rain overnight here & then early this afternoon we had a down pour. I was talking to another resident here then went to go out for my mail & it was coming down in buckets! My grandson & I were suppose to go to the coast tomorrow but we moved it to Thursday due to the weather.
Sandi, was your train ride to the fair fun? It has been a very long time since I took any type of train ride. Glad you enjoyed the show. I also love musicals, always have. Too bad the lady in the wheelchair did not check her email. I would almost think that she would know most homes are not wheelchair accessible unless there is a disabled family living there. But what do I know since I can walk? You have been reading & listening to a lot of books! Yes, I love the cover on Robyn Carr's book Blue Skies. I do know her husband was a pilot as she tells that in her Acknowledgements at the end of the book. Soon her Virgin River Christmas book will be out. I just love her books.
Mary, good that Penn State won. Especially since Sandusky has been in the news again. Such a sad burden for the athletic department to have. Thanks for your view point on the Fifty Shade of Grey. I'm still not inclined to read them!!
When I was here on Saturday I was surprised to find out it had been almost a week since I was here last! I had kind of a busy, crazy week. There is only so much I can manage in one day!! Saturday I went to Farmers Market here in town then drove to Santa Rosa a little later to go to the Friends of the Library sale. They hold them twice a year. I really hate missing one! Yes, I got deals! In the "special section" where the CD's, DVD's & other "special" items are I got 3 CD's & a mini book "Digital Photography for Dummies". It is a small size that will easily slip into a backpack or purse. I'm finding after doing a little reading that it helps to know about some of the functions on the camera. For instance ISO setting, yes I knew it was there but didn't really understand what it is! That is just one thing I've focused on so far. I also got a hard cover copy of Randy Pausch The Last Lecture, which along with the CD's & "dummie" book was $9.50. Then in the other section which is huge & all books both hard cover & paperback I spent another $6 on 6 paperbacks. Sometimes I'm not sure the sales are a good thing!!!
Since the 49'ers played on Thursday night there was no game for them yesterday. I think the next game is a Monday night game. I'll still watch DWTS but catch some of the game during commercials & before DWTS. Speaking of DWTS! I was not sorry to see Bristol go. They were on The View that week after getting voted off. I have nothing against her, in fact I think she has improved in many ways since she was on the first time but I think other dancers are better. This week, tonight, will be only an hour long after the presidential debate. I thought last week was the last presidential debate!! I will be very glad when it is all over. The ads on TV, mail, robo calls will all go away! These days I'm looking before I pick up my phone!! With everything going on last week I did manage to go get my flu shot. It is so easy since you can get them in several places without any appointment. I went to CVS!!
This morning I finished reading The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks. It was very good. I've read a lot of his books. The image was smaller when I copied it!!!
That should catch me up for now. Hopefully I won't be gone so long this time! since this image is so large I won't post another picture.
Happy reading, have a good week, By the way, I did not go back to proof read!! Any mistakes are mine!!!
Donna M
