Movie Tuesday

Finally...a good movie. Unknown starring Liam Neeson. Need I say more?

A McTrouble Day

It was so much fun making my jewelry & stuff, but it's such a headache making my website to show it all off. I've taken photos of everything (over and over again) and run them through Photoshop to get them ready for the website. What a pain! I've been working on the iMac in my office for days redoing photos so they look good on the web. Today my bluetooth mouse quit. The cursor just refused to do any more work. I changed the batteries and reset the mouse so it worked again--intermittently. Fifteen minutes later my keyboard quit. What with that?

Mom and I had a hair appointment in Alpine, so, afterward, we zipped down to Best Buy in El Cajon and bought a new keyboard and a wired mouse. Dennis said wired was better than bluetooth. We'll see.

We're back in operation now, but I need to take some of the photos over again. It's a never ending story.

Snow!

 Today was a snow day for a few hours. We had a lot of rain yesterday, then it started to snow last night. Wednesday we had .47 inch of rain; today we measured 5.23 inches after the rain and snow.

We took a short ride to Pine Valley to pick up the mail this morning. We all went: Dennis, Mom, me and Spike! I guess we were bored. It was a surprise to see cars parked along the road on Old Hwy. 80 with adults and kids playing in the snow and building mini-snowpeople. Where did all the people come from and how did they know we had a little bit of snow?

How Windy Was It?

It was so windy yesterday that a big rig blew over on Hwy. 8 and the freeway was closed to high profile vehicles. My Honda SUV is in the shop being fixed and we have a Honda Civic rental for a couple of weeks. We are keeping the rental in Mom's garage so the turkeys don't scratch it. I don't think Enterprise would be very happy to see turkey tracks on their car. So Dennis took Mom's car yesterday and we (Mom & I) were supposed to go to La Jolla for her doctor appointment. But because it was SO windy, the power went out and we couldn't get her garage door open. (Yes, I was told it could have been opened manually; but we also were told it was crazy windy on the freeway.) So we canceled the appointment and stayed home.

Glad we did, too. Not only was it too cold and windy to go anywhere, but we got a chance to see our turkeys go headless.
They tucked their heads into their feathers and looked like bowling balls with legs.

THAT'S how windy it was.
