Good Day "60"

Yes Ruth its rain and more Rain plus fog and Cold.

 Don't look good for all the week,

have a good afternoon  

Hello....Ruth that's why I always give my sister food for Christmas...this year it included about half an years worth of tea, sugar free jams, canned meats, and fiber bars of various types..and coffee crystals.  Besides "breakfast" the next day after Christmas. to her neighbor/friend "mary" I gave some sugar free and low calorie cookies and candy also...I'm told she has kidney problems. Then she gave her some more stuff the state had given her when she came to my house to eat and thought she could part with it, and I gave her some more groceries the Hispanics had given me for over January after Christmas also. One reason I need an good garden every year...and my fruit trees produce well and disease and bug free. I also share with some of my neighbors extra garden produce that they can't grow because of old age or not enough room...if I don' t share it with the kids also. I will check around her birthday this year to see if she needs anything to make it through to until her winter utiilty bills are not so high. 

Ok, the football game of the season is on tonight...one that was also covered on national news tonight...for me it means something different though...cause the Ohio "coach" use to be an Larkin, my mother's maiden name...and we use to write back and forth to each other..he's also into genealogy.  I think some couple years back... he went on to coach another school though. And the historian that the "Austin's" picked lived down in Eugene..where the Oregon ducks call "home". At that ime, I was serving as President to the family reunion of the Larkins our here. Jackie" Barlow"...not her married name.. took it over the next year..she lives near Seattle...if she's still there. As her husband travelled "world wide" in designing large sky scraper buildings. Definately interesting people to talk to. This game is so important as it's the first of the college play-off's deemed to bring in the college sustem.. lots of money eventually. for me it's like the babseball games...one part part of the family fueding with the other side..each hoping to win. 

Heavy rain comes in Thursday and stays through Sunday this week. But I think we badly need it in ways...then it goes back to dry days again. Everyone is hoping those snow levels will fall on Mt. Hood also.

I go for now...staying on the diet an bit better this week then over last weekend.

I was talking to my neighbor today..she says "let's get together" after mid Febuary and go out to dinner...She liked the sound of "Horst Meagers Reinlander" the best...and German restruant in Portland. In the meantime she says she's training for an marathon walk or run for some event coming up. But I'm suppose to be in the Health Club if I ever make it there. I did walk 2 miles in the neighborhood today. I haven't heard how my grand-daughter is doing since she got the flu bug...they aren't answering thier phones out there, or not there when we go out to see them...in part they don' t want us to catch the flu apparently. My son has to come over this weekend to help change an roller in the back patio door though. Daughter in-law says she ran into my brother...and he was going to file divorce papers today on Dee Dee, whom already moved out supposedly. The Scouts came out of the tree re-cycle with $1, 600 and it should pay all their expenses for summer camp except $50 per Scout...but they have an meat Jerky and Candy bar sale going on before they leave for it this coming summer. So if all goes right none of the parents will have to pay for summer camp this year...besides indirectly with the fund raisers. I guess I better go back and see how this epic game is going. Later...

The news tonight was saying they have found several web sites recently hacked into and that they didn't get any Gov't private information but the FBI is going to check out the hackers and find out who they are. What can I say...been there and been dealing with it for many many years. I do no "business" on the net from the house here. I have not even tapped into my health papers either. I have to do it directly and straight on in person. As far as I'm concerned the best of the best tried to take this on one time...Bill Gates...he didn't catch them..he caught up with them out of California, having followed them from China all over the USA...but they had left the place they were living just an couple days beforehand. Good luck to the FBI.  Until then, I have mispells "implanted" up above in the message I posted thatI didnt' make in person...it's never changed in years now. 

Good Afternoon in between the snow/rain  showers,here

Used our bus passes today to go down Musgrove Hospital at Taunton, so Bern could have a hearing test, only to be told his ears needed to be syringed, so caught the next bus back, would have been lovely views if you could see them through the weather, The Bus goes,  as we say  over the hills around narrow country lanes which is ok until you try and pass a Tractor,then its trouble,

Evening everyone. Glad you got your supplies John, we got ours today, so if the snow comes tonight we can eat.

Tractors are a bit of a pain round here too Pat, but they are useful in snow as the farmers clear the roads.
