Short Post because I'm a little short on time tonight

We've been pretty busy here the past week. Still lots of snow and still snowing right now! I've been busy driving, I was at it from 7:45 am yesterday until 12:30 am this morning because I took the High School Jazz Band to a concert down in CDA at the College. I watched them during the practice session.
Well at least they TRIED! Pretty bad, which is a little sad. I think that some of the 13 members attitudes of "at least its getting us out of school for the day" are to blame. Last school year I took the Jr High to a similar concert, it was kind of embarrassing, but they also tried! And that's one of the things about the schools up here. They still have the opportunities to try at the districts expense. Golf, Archery, Ski trips this time of year for all grades, Bowling, all kinds of activities that have long been extinct from the old California schools our kids attended.
Stacy has been putting in many days of long hours still getting her 'charges' in the system in order as well as working with several new arrivals. It is a challenge that she's enjoying dealing with.
Sad news from Laura yesterday (Monday) that her husbands mother had a massive heart attack on Sunday. Laura is trying to work out her husband going to Las Vegas to see his mother and being there to help as he can. She was supposed to be having surgery yesterday. We haven't heard from Laura today to know how things are going. We just hope she'll have a speedy and complete recovery.
Sandy is dealing with a cold and congestion and hoping she'll be in better shape by Valentines day. That's when her and Erik are going to Munich Germany for five days. Erik found some great prices on Price line and surprised her with this trip for Valentines. They've been to Germany several times the past two years and they both really enjoy the country, the scenery, and the people of Germany. I just told her to break down and get a small video camera. Pictures are really nice, but so are the occasional video clips!
That's it for this update. Hope all is well for everyone! Tad

Good Morning, I do hope that Laura's husband's mother has a good recovery from the heart attack soon. All is fine out here in Southern California now that our windstorm we had a week ago this Sunday is over just clear skies and sunny and no winds.The winds had gotten to 55-75 miles an hr it did some damage in different areas.For most of Sunday we couldn't see across the street nor see the mountains there was sand everywhere one one story I had heard about was the wind taking a camper shell from a pickup truck putting it a few yards where it had been on it's side.I am not sure how secure the camper shell was to begin with. Most of our problems were fine sand everywhere I am just now getting everything back in order at times I still can run my hand over some areas and feel the fine sand hopefully I will get it all this week.Got to run take care and a good week to you all.

February 1st

Just as with the last post I wrote, Stacy is again down in Boise for meetings. This time two days of different types that she was wrangled into going for when the supervisor didn't want to go. These are some high end "department head" meetings and state wide commissioners from the state are there too. Stacy does feel a little out of place but she should do well in any event. It was winter again over the weekend, we woke up on Saturday to a light snow. It wasn't sticking then and it snowed all day without any staying on the ground. Overnight into Sunday it got cold enough and started to stay. Got almost two inches and it snowed all day yesterday too. Actually it was nice. Stacy had to drive over to Spokane (2- 1/2 hours away) for her flight to Boise and when she called she said it was slow going much of the way towards Coeur d' Alene then the snow became rain from before that area on. It is usually colder here than Sandpoint (because of the large lake there), and S...

Just an update

It is getting more like fall to winter now in our area. All the weather forecasts give the possible snow levels and altitudes in the recordings. The temps have been in the low 50's for the past week which is the normal temp range. It has warmed up at night to the low thirties from the low twenties of last week and earlier this week. Next week it's forecasting only low to mid forties! For the high temps! In looking at photos and the older blogs, last October 27th, 2009, was the first snow of the season back then. Will it snow around the same time this year? Stacy and I are both off work next week because our daughter Laura and her son, the only grand kid so far, will be flying out this Sunday for a weeks visit. Stacy and I are really looking forward to the visit. Last time Laura was here was in the summer of 2006 for a couple of weeks. Quite a lot has changed in her little family since then! And Tyler is 4 years old now so he might do more than sleep or cry as he did last visit!...

Its Fall again!

Although the date this says 'posted' is from a while back, I'm online to type about theses photos and get this posted for you to see today, October 12th! I'd uploaded these and the next post couple of photos fully intending to get right back to it in a day or so, it just didn't happen like that. Stacy's father took a trip to California to visit family out there and since he was gone (he's getting back tomorrow night) we've been very busy working at home as well as stuff going on at work. So it's been busy, busy, busy! Stacy left this morning to fly to Boise for meetings (again!) and will be back late tomorrow too. On to these photos; top one is actually on our property, just out back in the forest. The fern was just going yellow to gold then, on this fall morning, it is really golden and rust browns now just a couple of weeks later. Middle photo is a road a little over a mile away in the early evening that I liked with the late day sun on the Aspen ...
