It's one of those 'can't keep up' months!

Mainly because it has been busy and the 11 day trip that starts almost any minute to Boise for the annual convention. A lot happening that we've been trying to get settled at least for the next 11 days, it has been difficult to have that work out.
Stacy has been stressed because the committee she's on for the convention has been dropping out, at the 11th hour! Latest is the group secretary that emailed Stacy yesterday afternoon to say she was no longer going to attend, and could she deal with all her work too? So Stacy has been trying to get almost 200 name tags printed and cut, we'll need to stop at Staples on the way out and pick up the holders, we'll be reimbursed though!, and still meet with other people along the way to pick up things they want taken since they're flying to Boise.

At home the last few weeks, we've been going through our storage building and pairing down stuff that we haven't for the most part gotten into since we moved up here in 2006. A lot to the local auction and a lot in the trash now with the way wetter winters than California had wrecking a lot of papers in the building.

Well Stacy just got back so we're getting going. I'm "hoping" to post while in Boise. I'll have to see!

Have fun in Boise! Eat some "taters" for me.

Good to catch up with you on your birthday, Tad. Stacy, your reference to me as a "young person" still has you in my good graces:)

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 ...
