Wow! It's been a while...

I'm surprised at how long it's been since I last posted.  I might have to catch up, but for now, I just want to share some experiences of the past 2 weeks...

Thankfully, only the toilet water froze, not the pipes

Interesting that I took the same pictures that Dorothy did...the hill at Rich Bar Memorial curve, with the flag on top. 

Visiting with Lucy, Dan, Dorothy, Jeffery, and Grant

My sister Lucy and her beau Dan came west this month and took a trip up into the Sierras to see us.  I am currently on furlough because the government shut down on Tuesday, so was able to spend more time visiting.  It was fun being together, showing our beautiful area to our eastern family, and just getting caught up on all and sundry news and interests!

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy!

What's down there?  How deep does it go?

Karl's Promotion to Chief

Fund Raiser for Chief Petty Officer Selectees

Ruth, Zaka, and I made posters the day before and today we attended the fundraiser.  The idea was that the selectees would pump gas and wash car windows for a token donation.  I got to meet Karl's mentor, Matt, and some of his co-selectees.  It was a fun morning!
