Stacy's Birthday!

Yes today, April 17th is Stacy's birthday. For the next almost 5 months she'll be "older" than I am. During this time she loves to occasionally mention that, it's OK, we're the same age more than not.

Earlier in the week Stacy was down in McCall, Idaho, for two days of state level meetings, leaving last Sunday to drive down and coming back late Tuesday evening. Then Thursday she had to go to Coeur d'Alene for more meetings.
So on Monday, with Stacy being gone, everyone was planning a lunch party for Stacy which was to be a bring your own salad, kind of buffet, luncheon. That sounded pretty good and would have been nice, but Tuesday one fellow employee decided she didn't want to come in on her day off, Friday, and wanted the party moved to the following Monday, then later that day she decided that trying out the new Mexican restaurant would be so much better than a salad lunch, this was still for Stacy, right?
But to keep the peace, it was decided to 'officially'  have the Monday thing but on the 'down - low' there'd be a small lunch on Friday anyway because today IS Stacy's birthday after all!

So 5 of us had a nice lunch, as I had ordered a birthday cupcake, cake, on Monday after work I still picked it up and we all had a cupcake, or 2, in Stacy's honor. The secretaries from the Prosecutor's Office bought some flowers for Stacy that were delivered before lunch and one bought a burrito for her that unfortunately made Stacy feel a bit sick.  Turns out the 'veggie' healthy burrito was loaded with Kale and some weird greens and a spicy sauce that upset both my and Stacy's stomachs, I tried it too, not very good when you hit the buried 'sauce' in it. :(

A little after lunch Stacy got a "Flowers Dot Com" box via UPS from Sandy which was very nice and very unexpected. Son, Sean, had sent Stacy a variety of some candies from Hawaii called "Donkey Balls" which actually are good if you get past the name!
And I did the right thing this year after Stacy gave me an idea of some things she'd wanted and let me kinda pick out what I thought she might like best on one of them.

So, hopefully the rest of the day will be nice. Nothing special planned, especially if our stomachs don't calm down in the next few hours!

Today is on the way to being the warmest day of the year so far. Winter is definitely over here and we had already had the snow tires swapped for the summer tires on the Prius about a month earlier than last year with those warmer than "normal" temps.

Gearing up for the weeds, mowing, cleaning, sawing and all the work of the coming summer!

Till next time.

A Historic Day

Yes, one way or the other it will be a historic day today, Election Day in the USA, 2016. Either the "crooked" lifetime politician and first woman to be the president will win or the proven somewhat unstable "megalomaniac" and itching to start a war businessman will win. Personally, I voted for Clinton. A proven lifetime politician outweighs the alternative in my opinion. I heard a comment of with Clinton it will be "The Hunger Games" part one, with Trump it would be "The Hunger Games" part 2!! In our neck of the woods, early voting and absentee voting has been going on for over two months. We voted a couple of weeks ago. Above, in the lobby of the County Courthouse, four early voting stations had been set up for several weeks. 2 non the right and 2 on the left at the desk behind that sign. Below, I took a 'stealth' photo of some people voting. You never can tell in North Idaho what will set off people so I didn't want...

I Must Agree, 2020 Is The Year That Isn't.

 I know there are many, many people feeling along those lines.  Luckily, our area has yet to experience a large spike. Even in this rural area, the virus has made it here too. As mentioned before, most of the state cases are in the heavily populated south end of the state but there is still a count of over 38,000 positive and 451-deaths in the state.  As of this post, there has been one confirmed death of a 70-year old male, and there are currently 56-cases in this county. The most recent cases are high school sports students as schools opened on September 8th and at the last minute decided to go back to all 'in-person' classes even with all the preparations of having 'hybrid' classes of 2-days a week at school, 2-days a week online, and rotating to keep the student count down to the advised numbers to limit exposure. Our area schools are all on a 4-day week and have been for many years.  However, with those kids, are also over 65 other students who were identified w...

Soupy Sales and memories of being a kid

I first heard about Soupy Sales dieing this morning as I listened to the 60's on 6 as I was working on breakfast and getting my lunch ready to go for work. His show was often very funny, even more so as I grew up and had a better understanding of his more adult humor. I know I was seeing reruns of his old show even back then, 1970's era, but they were new to me! As I was reading on the Entertainment Weekly website about his death they had clips from You Tube to see. Boy the memories, of his as well as all the shows I remember seeing back in the mid 1960's and on. Pookie, White Fang, funny. I never cared much for the 'pie in the face' gag, but still overall funny shows. Growing up in the areas of San Bernardino, Highland and Redlands California, we watched the channels from the "greater Los Angeles area". I recall Captain Kangaroo on channel 2, Hobo Kelly on either 11 or 13, Sheriff John's Lunch Brigade ("put another candle on the birthday cake, th...
