October 23, 2024 - it has been such a long time since I blogged here. Must get back on line, to keep in touch with Lakeside Lady and OKM Barb. 


So, I will try but meanwhile just to start I will feature some of the things on my mind in photos:

 

The wonderful comet sightings, this one from Mt. Lassen Natl Park.




My 3rd Canine Companion Puppy - Alexis - who is 7 months old and a smart, sweet and calm little lady.


My 'work' with the LWV these last 6 months, registering voters and providing unbiased and accurate information. 

 

My personal work with Stand Up Scripps Ranch and the Democratic Party to elect the first Woman to the highest position in government. 


Turned in my ballot yesterday after researching each and every position &  legislation. I completed 3 days of training last week to work the election polls. Accepted the position of Precinct Inspector right here is Scripps Ranch with the added responsibility to delivering the ballots everyday after the polls close.



Working with my sister & nephew to put our large Family Ranch on the market. Have 766 acres of the 3,667 acres in escrow right now.

And of course singing with the San Diego Harmonics, working on our December Holiday show...



Whew, always busy and living a blessed life...

I am so lazy...crazy storms last night! Elkie update.

Well, in case you are still on the fence, climate change is real and happening all around us at a frightening pace. This never happens in San Diego, CA...and this is the 3rd since early September and I might add the most violent.  Perspective is from the bay looking toward the east (which I live). Many fires ignited, including a house where a tree was struck and a whole grove of palms near Mt. Helix in the east. On a lighter note, before the storm Elkie & I got in a walk 'on the wild side' of Scripps Ranch.  The neighborhood has really gone downhill or should I say "Hill House". And while the temps were in the 80s, and the sky clear "where were the little kiddos at lunch time?" Wishing all a safe, sane and happy season...don't forget to stop and smell the flowers.

Labor Day 2021

I d idn't even realize it was Labor Day weekend until a friend mentioned it Saturday night. A lot changes when one retires, and that's a good thing. Here is Elkie on 'strike'... Today I had planned to give blood at a mobile drive in my local shopping center. Iron rich blood, but my twice a year prolia injection for osteoporous is on the prohibitive list. One must wait 6 months, which for all practical purposes I can no longer give blood. Huge disappointment, so if my bone density test doesn't show improvement I will forgo future medications, stick to calcium and exercise. I am thinking that it is working though...my big fall was a real life test which I passed with only cuts and scrapes and bruises. Nothing broke.  I completed by poll worker training and report for set up the polls duty on Friday. Meanwhile, Elkie & go to the CCI Regional office for a training class tomorrow. Later I go in for an on-site interview at the San Diego Humane Society (2 hours) to fam...

Come One, Come All

 Hurrah, my Elkie is bathed and soft and smelling undog-like. She is hanging by me post-dinner as I write this. We went to Petco, as I can no longer handle the upstairs bath routine. This is better, plus they do the nails & ears. Another puppy expense. And we are set here until Wednesday instead of swapping today. Pissed me off, but I am not upset with Elkie. She's a love. And I am excited that my Wine Guild club is meeting in person again July 21st. Schug Winery is featured, I know nothing about them. Tastings have been virtual since last surge (November).    So nice to see people enjoying wine . A lovely spot in the Sonoma area. I love vineyards, having grown up on a farm with a vineyard of wine grapes that we sold to the local winery - Franzia. I used to 'ride' the tractor up the hill and down as a child. Later my Dad pulled out the vines, leveled and sold the sand and planted with more almonds. Bought a couple of whites last night at Von's Market. Decided I woul...
