It has been awhile since I've written. We took a trip from our place here in northern California to southern California, but we did it the 'easy' way this time; flew down! Flying makes travel so much more enjoyable. Except getting to your plane and then getting to your luggage. That is always a hassle! If one could just walk in and get in your seat, it would be a 'piece of cake.'
Since posting, my dear friend (mentioned in the post before this one) has had her surgery and most of the cancer was removed. She is recuperating at home and her prognosis looks fairly good. They are hoping for a remission soon.
Rain and more rain has been our weather here. The hills, though, are soooo green! Beautiful!
Not all has been good though with the rain; some of our friends had a car accident on the freeway, hitting the center divide and ruining their car. They are banged up also. Then I read today that in a city near us, a huge old tree fell on the cab of a truck, killing a 2-year-old boy and injuring his parents on each side of them. They were just sitting in their truck waiting for someone or something. Terrible!!
Time marches on; we are still in our house and no idea when we are supposed to move. We are hoping for the '30-day-notice' whenever the time comes. In the meantime, I am packing boxes, filling them with things in dresser drawers that we don't use and also getting our big closet thinned out. My project this week (I hope) will be to empty drawers and shelves in the cupbouards in our big hallway down to a bare minimum. I hope to just leave enough sheets available to use for us and guests for the present time and also save out some sheets to wrap pictures and fragile things that are too big for a box. This is an effort in trying to be ready when we are required to get out. Especially trying to get personal things confined in boxes so if we come to a 'big push,' others could come (I hope I don't have to ask anyone) and just put things in boxes and not worry about 'going through' them and discarding what we don't need. I have sold one huge set of china on eBay and have shredded bags and bags of paper to nestle dishes and vases in. Also drinking glasses.
Our hearts are with our friends in Haiti these days and I feel so silly having so much 'stuff' when these poor souls have the clothes on their backs and that is all. So far all our friends are accounted for!
Well, the week begins and lots to do.......
