Near home, about a week ago, a video

A very raw angle....from my face, at a stupid unflattering angle, ...right in my face....but I send this simple unpurified vid to my blog because it's so pure....yes, it is. It is a typical weekend visit we do, from time to time, near and in our local mountains.

Enjoy, or weep....you decide!

The old days, on a Ferris Wheel. My two eldest, with Daddy (me). They are now well into their twenties. My memories are not so old....it was only yesterday....yes, when shorts were....short! I know, I know.

The year is already full of itself!


Above:
First, a caricature of me and my wife about four or five years ago....too fun!
Here comes the great ramble:

We have visited the movie theater, and saw Gran Torino. We LOVED it!

The temperature around here has approached 90 degrees F. for over a week...in January! This very morning, it was 72 degrees at 6:00 AM!

We have had MANY medical fiascos. All are still walking this earth, after the very dusty dust has cleared, every single day has it's story, though...trust me.

We have a dog...I don't know why...it was not the dog we wanted, but they are dogs anyway, they know it.

We will soon be doing the unthinkable....driving a LEXUS!....a great deal was bestowed on us...albeit for only 12 months, but whoa....we will be in the "upper" world for a wackie year with a Lexus RX 400h hybrid 4WD... at less than the price of the van we drove from 2001 to 2004! Wow...and how! I got it for my sweet wife...though I will drive it for the first few months...I have very little money, but my job gave me the great connection for her. Trust me, we are eternally broke, but my job is a blessing times ten.

We visited the great and wonderful desert near us last week....WOW, as always!

Here is a photo op:


Yes, though it was quite warm, my wife is not well....see the jacket (coat), she runs "cold" a whole lot. Marion, my youngest daughter is, seated next to her.

I will try to be online more....
