Creating a Dinosaur...

This is Sean planning his create a dinosaur project...

SEWING PROJECT

I am in Los Angeles and I went to Downtown LA to purchase some fabric to make myself some shirts. This is the first shirt that I made, and it is not finished yet as you can see from the collar area. But it does give you a small amount of pleasure being able to sew something together. Did I mention that this fabric was only $1.50 per yard? Isn't that a great price for a shirt?

Gladys Update

Gladys was taken in to Kaiser hospital last Sunday because of her Diabetes. Her toes on her left foot turned black and needed to be treated. The doctor performed an amputation about half way down passed her knee! She has been having a hard time recovering with all the pain and the loss of her mobility. When you go to see her in the hospital she is usually asleep. Donna allowed me to snap this picture when I was there today. She has been at the hospital for a week, and the next stop is a convalescent home.

You Know Your Stressed When...

I went to the bathroom at work yesterday, and in my hussle to get my business done, and be out of the way for the next teacher, I didn't notice that I left the bathroom with tp hanging out from my pants. I was mortified when a male colleague of mine had to help me notice my problem!

This is a true story, that made me feel totally embarrassed.

I hope whomever reads this gets a good laugh..

By the way, the Carriage Drive house is up for sale they are asking for $159,900.

COWS are being born in this crazy wet weather!

I helped pull out this brown and white calf a week and a half ago, I was so happy to see him getting along just fine.

Winter Rain is Coming Down

Winter is in full swing here in Sacramento. This January has been very blustery with the two straight weeks of heavy fog followed by last week and this weeks crazy winter storms. Heavy rain, strong winds, luckily no power outages as of yet. I am glad that it isn't crazy cold and snowy like in other parts of the country. On the bright side I am forced to stay home and clean around the house, do laundry and also work on school paperwork!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010

GREETINGS,

I can't believe that another year has sailed right on by, they come and go so quickly! I was trying to think of the highlights of 2009 and I thought of a couple:

* Sadie (new little puppy)

* New Pickup Truck

* Going on a vacation to see Mt. Rushmore, and the Badlands

* Losing Ms. Lily, Hershey, Jesse all over the summer :>(

* Gaining Adelaide :>)

* Having two wonderfully charming classes of students in a row!

* A good Pear harvest and a somewhat average crop of Walnut harvest.

* Getting together with family for Heather's wedding in May

That is all I could think of for right now so I guess I should load up a couple of pictures!! This is Sadie with a cone on her head after she was spayed two days ago. Also Donna bought this Nash RV a couple of weeks ago, this RV should be a lot of fun in twenty ten!!!!
