Good day (30)!

Thank you Ron...I just finished off cards to the POE memebers adresses I do have, which aren't many.....and I didn't get in the grouse club of males here either...as I don' t have many addresses, I got cathyme twice...once for her new home and secondly for an Chirstmas Card. I don' thave Ruths's addy, marjories,Brendas, our Diana's, Sue's, Bob's, James, Vincents, Gonuls...so I guess they have to show up here where we can do this wishig each other an Merry Christmas in person maybe.

We just got broke into on the TV set...  with an "weather alert" for tomarrow..western Oregon beaches with winds from the south going north 65 to 70 miles per hour, heavy snow and rain in both the coastal mountains and the Cascades.Most the west side is effected but they expect winds west of Portland also...30 mph. Watch out for trees and flooded drainage in the street/low areas....guess you know what I'll be doing tomarrow. "Praying" to be safe...not lose my electricity...promised hubby an Meat Loaf dinner...wonder if I should stay up now and make it. Calling it our worse storm so far this fall. Cards are done, but may not mail them until the next day. Now I'm tired...will sleep on the other side of the house tonight I think. Wonder if we will here from Elk up in Seattle...see if he and family are OK. Live on an island up there if I remember rightly in Pudget Sound...he says Elk Manor don't take this kind of stuff to good..Anyone got any ideas on how to get rid of extreme tinintus? We had an helicopter go down yesterday and I know where it was at...not to far from my hubby's old nursery job....in an patch of Christmas Trees and I use to tell people of the weird "vortex" down in the area an how I could feel extreme Pressure and weirdness...they have already been known to have two tornadoes and one earthquake in the area....glad he's not there any more. It does not surprise me on the helicopter though being in the area that it went down.Stay safe everyone!!!

good morning all --have a good day

nice to hear it paul

Well, the storm was 20 mph  wind less along the coastliine.. so by the time it got inland it was about that in wind strength and not as bad as anticpated,,same for the rain..we still have snow levels dropping though,,,tonight and tomarow night. Our Christmas Trees at the Malls and Pioneer Courthouse Square are "surviving" their clelebrations. "Occupy Portland" is still protesting and letting us not forget their cause is lost to the police and authorties...good lot of Portland State University showed up to walk with them and they have another one going on today..though I heard they don't have an permit for it..they keep to the sidewalks with the cops ready to arrest them if they step off of it.  Chris Rene...X-factory..last night really gave me an message of inspiration..."everything's gonna be alright"...don't cry. It must be hard for them to be followed so closely.. and one move in the wrong direction they get arrested and hauled off to jail. Anyone doing anything violent on their own.... and it reflects the movement as an whole I guess you know. Retail stores are starting to ask for new hires...slowly... but each job created helps someone.

Friday night...my grandson becomes the third generation "Scout" in our family. He will have his "cross-over"... then I have an hubby here for another night during the week. Grandson will be joining our troop and our Scoutmaster has his grandson (by his daughter) crossing over also..so both guys can say that they have thier grandson's in our regular "Scout" troop together.  Congradulations "Connor" and "Colby"... and any others joining them this Friday night. They have earned the right.. by the merits they have earned... to do so.

It looks like I'm making the Thanksgiving meal this year...so I best go think about planning it.  Talk to you later on...have an good day! 

Hi everyone.  Sorry I missed you all last night - one of our thunderstorms which just going round and round.  In the end I gave up and went to bed!!  What else must one do without the internet??

Have a wonderful day everyone
