First of all, I want to apoligize for that huge rose picture. Not just to sure what happened there! Hopefully it won't happen again.
Yea, this stayed a normal size! Most people in this area calls these tulip trees but they are really a part of the magnolia family. They are very pretty when they bloom & very messy when they start falling off the trees. There are several planted in front of our city hall. They are all blooming now. This was taken a couple of weeks or so again so now they are in full bloom. After the blossoms fall the leaves will come out.
Trudy, I am so sorry that Sharon passed away but she is in a better place with no pain. I know how hard it is to have a good friend missing from your life. I'm sure she appreciated your friendship during her illness.
We had some rain earlier this week, not much but better than nothing. Now it is sunny again & beautiful with temps in the low 60's. Perfect, as it is not to hot! Very cold at night with frost on the roof in the morning. I'm not out there in it! I just see it when I look out the window. I do hope you manage to get rid of all your mold. I have some in my bathroom that I cannot reach even on my step stool. I need someone taller to help!
Sandi, it sounds like life has been busy for you. I hope by now you are healed from having the wisdom tooth removed. Mine was done so long ago that I don't recall much about it. I think I had two done at two different times. My oldest had all four of hers done many years ago. She scheduled the removal on Thursday with Friday off work also figuring she would go back on Monday. Wrong! She developed an infection which led to a lot of problems. She was off work at least a week. It was a miserable experience for her. At least since all four were done she knew it would never happen again!! This was before she had children which are now 17 & 14 so as I said it was a long time ago. Nice to know Brian found a job even though it may not be the best one. It is good experience. To bad your grandson is having problems with hearing. I hope there will be something that can help him. What was the Maya Banks event? I haven't read her yet. As of yet I have not seen any of the movies you mentioned. At this point it will probably be when they come out on DVD. Yes, I did watch the Super Bowl! That seems like it was a really long time ago. It was very hard to see the 49'ers loose.
Mary, did your trip to Maryland go okay? I confess to not paying much attention to when you posted maybe that is coming up. If so, enjoy & be safe. Nice that you are getting to read. I do like Cindy Gerard as I think I have mentioned before. She has a new book out but I did not see it when I was at Target. They only carrying a small selection of the authors I read. I did buy two books though!! The most recent ones by Karen Rose & Jodi Thomas.
Margie, how time flies! Gavin is 4? Seems he was just a baby a short time ago. I can imagine how much fun he must have at those jump houses. Are your enjoying your Kindle more now? There are quite a few free books or very low priced ones. Janelle Denison is another of my favorite authors. Thanks for the comments about the Surface. I may look more closely at what that offers instead of just getting a tablet. I know it is kind of a combination tablet/laptop. The price may keep me away except I should probably look at it as a computer purchase!!
Anyone else having heart attacks over gas prices? Of course here in California we are always higher! I paid $3.97 at COSTCO yesterday. It hurts when my little car costs over $40 to fill up! Everything else is higher also due to the gas prices. Most of the stations are around $4.07-$4.09. I even saw a Chevron charging $4.15!! They are usually the highest priced. I have managed to get some reading done since I was last here. I read HRH by Danielle Steel which I found quite interesting. The h is a princess in the tiny country of Liechtenstein. After reading the book I decided that being a princess may not be much fun!! I even looked the country up on Google!!! I was curious. Also I think when my oldest daughter went on her band trip to Vienna, Austria that they were in Liechtenstein, only briefly. It is between Switzerland & Austria and is also a neutral country. Bet you didn't know that!!! The other book I read was Wild by Cheryl Strayed. It is her story of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Tehachapi, CA. to the Oregon Washington border. What a journey she had. One reason I was interested in reading it was because my good friends in Sisters, OR., that I have mentioned, hiked the Pacific Crest Trail the length of Oregon many years ago. At that time it was not as long as it is now. You can hike it from the Mexico-California border all the way to the Washington-Canada border. It is not an easy hike, you really have to prepare, be prepared & know what you are doing. It certainly has no appeal for me. Come night I want a bed, a shower, good food, etc. That said you do see some amazing sightes & views. You can just hike portions of it, of course. That might be fun providing you just did a short daytime jaunt!!!
Tomorrow is my little girls birthday! My baby! She will be 44, oh my!!!! Yes, I was 2 when she was born!! That is something a work place friend use to say to me. I am actually in touch with her through Facebook. Facebook is handy sometimes! I'm still changing things from my new Internet/email! Who knew there would be so much to do!!
Here is another picture to say good bye until next time. This is just some bricks on a driveway that has moss growing on it. It is actually pretty & will dry up soon when it starts really getting warm.
Stay well Everyone. Find time to read. Enjoy life.
