Bodie California

Wow Neil, Travis and I got to go to Bodie. I have been wanting to go there for soooo long. We decided we needed a break from the house the other day so we went to Bodie and Reno.

Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Bodie
























Now I am back in Corning...feeeling sicker then a dog. But I have to do some cleaning and painting. Then I am off the see the Dogs and feed them at Larry's Mom's house.

Then I am back to Oroville to see my sweet baby Neil.

I will post more pictures later!

Travis and www.pbskids.org

Travis discoverd PBS kids today. He loves it! He got to do puzzles and color things and play games.
It is amazing how easy kids pick up how to use computers.
He was using the touch pad and clicking away like a pro. I didn't even have to show him how.

He is so cute, just like his daddy ;-)

Heading for Hallmark soon!!

This is me...for some reason since I quit working I dont wear makeup anymore. LOL....well I am just taking a break from the hustle and bustle of life. I am recovering from 12 years of high stress...I am feeling great!

I am getting so excited about going to Hallmark. I think I found somewehre to live. The owner is sending me the lease in the mail today. It is a cute little place. I will of course post pictures of it when I get there.

Today John from centerstage is working on my house. He is making the outside look beautiful. Well it kind off looks like a mess at the moment....but soon it will be beautiful.

It is so hot here, I cant wait to get in my car and drive away. Larry is suposed to be picking up the dogs soon. I will miss them so much. But I know he loves them and will take good care of them.

Well I have to go. I am packing up some more stuff today and painting. :-)

Getting organized...

I am working on getting organized. Because I have so much to get done, and to practice for when I am at school. Today I did not move around much, but I got a tone of stuff done. I feel much better. More in control. It still will be hard, but I feel like it will be do able now :-) The next year I mean. The house is coming a long great. Hope you are all well. Hopefully soon I will be able to get away from this house and go visit people and spend time with them before I leave...I already miss you all and I am still here LOL.

Trying to learn to smile...now that my teeth are fixed. I never smiled before...so now I have to learn how.

Don't I look pretty?

Ahhh I am retired! LOL not really....I have lots of work to do. But for myself, instead of for someone else. I just got done cleaning. I have Ed comeing over to look at the house. The housing market is bad. I have some things to think about. But gosh the house looks good. Wish it looked this good when I lived here LOL.

I am taking Travey to see surfs up today. I cant wait!!

The floor....

Neil installing the floor...he is so sweet :-)

Do you think he will miss me?

I think he might.  

I saw Rick and Lisa Nye this morning at Starbucks, it was nice to see them again.  My son Nick and and their son Darrin grew up together on fields all over northern ca.  Darrin would pitch Nick would catch.  Darrin was the quarterback and Nick was the fullback.  

I wont miss much about Corning, but I will miss some of the people I have known and spent time with over the years, like Rick and Lisa.  It was good to see you guys!  Loved the look on your face's when I told you I was moving to Massachusetts...that was probably a shock! LOL

Neil and I are now tackling the dinning room floor....pictures to come.  Of course an easy job has turned into a difficult one.  Because this is an old house, you never know what you will find when you pull something up, or down.  But we lucked out, the difficulty was not too bad this time.  We should be able to start laying flooring tonight!  knock on wood.

Done....

OK I am done cleaning almost the whole house. Now what? hmmm I know play with my new light meter...



This is my new phone....I had to get one because my other phone was a work phone. I used my light meter for this photo. I learned a little about how to use it today. I learned that I was using it wrong ha ha!



If you know me...and dont have my new number, email me and I will send it to you.

First Day Off

Today is my first day as a non-employed person. I kept forgetting over the weekend that I didnt have to go to work on Monday. Even though I am not going to work my schedule is full for the day.

I really want to get this house behind me. I intend to work my butt off this week.

I took this photo this morning. It kind of represents how I feel. Even though I have a lot to do, I feel a bit more free, more natural. This photo has the morning light in it, the natural color of the world. Nothing is forced...it is going with the flow of things. That's what I hope my life will be like...and it already kind of feels like that....but it is just the first day....

I am looking forward to the future...I can't wait!!!
