Good day 7

Hi Shirley, Karen, Sue, Krissy!  Happy Friday!

Yes, much better day today, my "puffer fish" look left me from the rest last night, though the dreams were wild an hairy by this morning..looking over the Coos Bay, Oregon KOA Camprground my kids are headed off to, looks like they should have an really good time there. Usually they don't go where there are to many up-to-date amenities as is this one.... this one looks like even it could turn me on to go ATV-ing. Plus they rent 75 foot KOA Kabins, individual trailers and have near by "rental" ATV's. to boot! They will be in a good sized tent...amid an nice looking park.  Dunes amoung 37 area small lakes along the edge of the Coos Bay river and the beach. They are deserving, they only go once an year..and when she gets back, she helps Jackie (old neighbor of ours) do an week of 4-H Camp in Camas, Washington...then comes my hubby's week of teaching water skiiing in Scout Camp also.  Yep, pleasant starting day today..just kind of looking over what's coming up here shortly, drinking my cup of coffee...have an good day everyone!

I hope all of you are planning a good weekend. I am hoping to lunch with an old friend who is traveling through town, and I'm craving Chinese food, so I hope she is too.

We had a huge rain storm again last night. The desert is certainly blooming this year.  

I was listening to them talk about the upcoming Solar Eclipse last night, and the fact that this type are known for having killer type quakes along with them....this one.. on July 22... goes over southern China, near the end of Japan and arcs to the south, where it barely leaves Japan and goes ito an 6 plus min. of totality, the whole area though is known for it's earthquakes as of here lately.  Mitch Battros says it has an 14 day window before and after the main eclipse also. It gives me an erie feeling, Like Tucumseh's "warning" during the 1812 great earthquake on the New Madrid Fault Zone area, with what's going on with North Korea here lately..let's hope there's no repeat of history over there. It's an highly populated area. It's oppposite would be eastern Greenland or general vicinty I do beleive..have to check it out an bit better...not that an quake couldn't happen anywhere it pleases though..if conditions are right. Last one I was in, I was sitting on my bed looking out the window, as we'd bought the house not to much before it, henceforth no cutains on this huge picture window, and watched it turn from daylight to night time, and with it the clouds in the hills behind the house came down and settled as mist and fog, then lifted afterwards...it really gave you the sense of its gravitational power, though I understand this one will be the fartherest from earth in influence...I'm sure as it comes closer to the date plenty of people will be talking about it.
