Thursday, ............just after noon....

The noontime 'air raid' siren/noon whistle just went off about 5 minutes ago. Can't hear it from home but it's loud and clear downtown at the office. I'm listening to XM, of course, and listening to My Friend Irma. They don't have many episodes of this show but I haven't heard this episode in quite a while. The actress that plays Irma sounds very much like a girl I used to know, and even has her logic! You have to know the show, but as written and played, she must have been one of the early really ditsy blond characters.

Not much going on, it's been spring like and much of the snow has evaporated as the temps climbed. EVERYTHING is getting green very fast! Although just about 60 right now, a couple of days ago was practically a heat wave with temps getting into low 70's! I'm guessing no more sticking snow until next fall now! When your body gets used to those much cooler temps a sudden rise like this can seem so hot and like 90 instead of 70. Here at the office the maintenance guy said he can't turn down or off the building heat so in the afternoons I'm already running my window A/C unit because it climbs to about 80 because heat rises and we're on the second floor.

Laura has been calling as grand baby Tyler has been pretty sick for much of a week. For a while it was thought he may have Pneumonia, now it is the Flu and Strep Throat instead. He's only 3! He's feeling better today according to Laura and by his next appointment on Monday, if it is the Flu, he should be feeling a lot better. We're hoping he'll be better really soon.

Sandy and Erik both ran a 5 K run last weekend in the L.A. area. We've very proud of them both, they both finished and were only about 7 minutes apart time wise. She's still working and teaching and taking lots of photos. They're giving up with the management of the apartment they've been living at for the last few years. Constant rate increases, lack of maintenance support, they've had it and are planning to move by the end of May.

Sean and Brandy are doing fine and just cruising along.

Today Stacy is at a meeting with her boss down in Coeur D' Alene. She drove the truck, I drove the Solstice today!

That's the update today! Tad

It looks like our first non-white Christmas since moving to North Idaho.

As I had said the last post, while winter is here now, it just isn't here ! Two hours north, in the Cranbrook, Canada region, cold and snow. About two-hours east, in the Kalispell, Montana area, winter is there too with cold and snow! This area, more like late fall continued with overcast and cloudy with temps in the low 30s at night and high 30s in the daytime. Maybe some rain in the next day or so or a trace of snow overnight to melt away with the "high" temps for what used to be normal for this time of the year. Last week if the temps had not gone into the 40s with heavy rain by Saturday we would have some snow but the temps and the rain washed it all away. I checked with my records from last year and on December 23rd we had gotten 4-inches of snow. Not much but still a white Christmas. Christmas Day we had heavy snow showers but not much new accumulation. This morning the low was 33 degrees with a high expected to be 36 degrees. Sad face! I like the winters her...

So, Winter Decided It Wasn't Done Quite Yet Around Here!

After last weeks post of me talking about the somewhat short winter so far, it got cold! I mean really cold over the weekend, like two mornings with the lows of +8 (-13C) and +9 (-12C) and 'highs' around 25 (-3C). No one I had talked with thought it would be that THAT cold again this season! Then last night, 02/13/18, there had been a "Winter Storm Watch" issued for the time period of 10 PM Tuesday to 12 noon Wednesday for "up to" 11 inches of snow. Luckily, we didn't get anything near that with about 4 inches overnight and the snow stopped around 10 am and warmed into the mid-30s during the day so what had fallen had begun to melt, clearing off the roads and walkways but staying on the grass. However, for its last blast, we still could get a few more inches of accumulation between now and next Sunday the 18th. Then, the long-term forecast has the daytime temps going back into the mid to upper 30s again in about a week. We'll see! On Monday t...

First posting

Ah the choices of setting this up! It will take a little time to 'fine tune' the page, but its a start. Okay so what have we been doing? Well, two weeks ago now Stacy and I went to visit with Mike and Brenda to see their new home as well as visit with my Father and Mother who were visiting. We had to work around Stacy's days off so it was a three day visit with one day there and two travel days. All the storms flooding and disaster in the Seattle area happened right after we'd left. It was a great visit and we really like the new home. I haven't been able to see any of them since last year so I really liked the visit and getting together again. We got the grand area tour which was nice since I'd never spent any time in that part of the state before. The area is very picturesque. Mike's home is very near the flight paths of the area navy base and that brought back memories of our home in California. The first few years we lived there George A.F.B. was still ...
