Welcome Back

The pilot has moved his family back to his home town just in time for his first child to start first grade in the same school that he went to. It's nice to have you and your family close by. Thank you for giving up the big city even though it will extend your commute time. I appreciate it.

Wow, What a Big Pick Up

The other day I went down to Safeway. While walking through the parking lot, a hugh, tall beautiful bright red Dodge pick up pulled into a parking spot. It sounded nice and I turned to see what size of pick up it was. The driver, a young kid, kinda gave me a dirty look. I said I was trying to read what size the pick up was because I really liked it. He said "boy that is really unusual; most people complain about it; too loud, too tall, too big. We walked into the store talking about the pick up and before we parted inside the door, I said I would take it in a second. He put his arm around me and said "Oh I love you already". I know I'm stuck in the 60's but I do like a muscle car or pick up.

A nice drive

As I've said before, I hate weekends. I got through this Saturday by spending the day with my son and his family (who wouldn't have fun with a little grandson sitting on your lap asking why your hair is white and if the little bump on your neck is your belly button). Anyway, Sunday came along and I thought I would go to Salem to get some Starbucks coffee. When I got closer to Salem I thought why not go to Albany to get it. So I drove to Albany and got coffee and got back on the freeway headed South. I didn't know where I was going I just felt like driving. It was a nice drive; when I stopped for the night I was in Chico, California. Monday, I came home on back roads and stayed off the freeway. I got home at 6:00 Monday night. What a nice drive!! Oh, I had just sold the pickup to my son; he is taking possession at the end of the month. So, don't tell him I put 1065 miles on his pickup.

Deer

A couple of weeks ago, I looked out the dining room window and there was a hugh deer laying(?) under the bedroom window. I looked at her; she looked at me and we both went about our business. My business was sitting in a chair being depressed. Her business was having twins. At the time I saw her, she was in labor. Later when I looked out she was cleaning up 2 babies. After they were cleaned, the babies nursed and they just wobbled away with Mom. They like to spend late evenings in the shade in the back yard. All 3 are doing fine. They travel alot. Two days ago, I saw them about a mile away; but by evening, they were back in my yard resting in the shade.
