A little catching up.

Well I'll start with a couple of pictures. Above is the amount of snow that was still around when Sean and brandy got here. They couldn't believe it. Still winter then!
Although a bit hard to see, Sean is standing in the driveway just taking in a heavy snow shower. That's the way it was that week.


It's a slower day today. It shouldn't be, but I'm sick today. Yesterday morning woke up with a sore throat. Last night got the headache and congestion going. This morning a REALLY sore throat and that all over feeling of jerkiness and over all lousy feelings. Probably a fever in it all but I can't find the thermometer.
So a little computer time then a TV or movie day. I've got hours of recorded programs on the DVR's to watch and haven't had the time. So I guess today's a good day for some catching up. I always think, maybe one day of relaxation then I can get back to it. It is after all spring and EVERYTHING is growing like crazy. I'm to mow and weed this weekend, and that's just to start!


I'd read the comment from Mike on an older post and I guess some clarification is in order. Do I dislike busing that much? No, I really am not crazy about the early hours, I think Mike wouldn't mind them as he's still an early riser. I did my early days for a lot of years. As jobs go in this area it pays really well. Most local jobs are at or just over minimum wage, so the pay is okay. Summers off is good too. So if working at Stacy's department doesn't pan out, then I'll be drivin' again in September. Most of the drivers work two or three jobs to make ends meet. But they've been living in the area a lot longer than we have, so they still have all the bills and such we left behind when we moved from California.

I've been sending out e-mails about our new mailing address. We were annexed into the city from the county for Post Office route realignment. It's been a bit of a pain as we were originally told there would be no rush to get it all switched over as it would take at least 4 to 6 months to even start it. Then in early April we got notice that we were supposed to have started changing everything over last December when we got the new address! Real big problem there has been, new street name and new address. So none of the magazines, or any companies "postal programs" had the street or address in their systems. So most all had to be Customer Serviced and direct entered to finally be accepted. Oh well, seems to be going smoothly now, except I'd forgotten to let all the family and friends know about the change! So I'm attempting to fix that.

Guess this will do it for now. Starting to feel worse so time to go get caught up on some magazines and read for a bit.
Type later, Tad

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 ...
