July 8 2015 Memories, Changes & Fish

Two deer on the south ridge Tuesday morning.

Monday 7/6. The drive down to Larry and Elsie's at 7:30 am was so enjoyable.  So nice and cool.  Everything on this north side of the mountain is still very lush and green.

I began scanning in my scrapbooked photo albums today and finished the year 1999.  Lots of good memories.  Only seven more albums to go. . .

Larry and Elsie arrived home mid morning after having a very good time and catching their limit of walleye and some perch.  We have a fish fry coming up!

Mrs. Gridder called to say that she has some zucchini for us from her garden.  JB will pick it up on his way back from Down There tomorrow.  She and I are going to go saling on Friday - garage saling!  Woo Hoo!

The temperatures Down There for the past few weeks have been 15 to 25 degrees above normal.  The forecast is for more average weather beginning this weekend.  No rain in sight though.  A light overcast formed by mid afternoon and our high for the day was 84.

Tuesday 7/7.  It was a cool 64 with a partial light overcast this morning.  JB left for Down There a 7:30 am for his annual physical, errands and some grocery shopping.

I did more scanning while he was gone.  Today was 1997, 1998 and the first part of 2000.  It seems like the new century was the beginning of the end for several family relationships.  Five divorces.  Five deaths. Ten births since then.  And everything is different.

JB was home by 1:30 pm and we just relaxed for the rest of the day.  We have to get up early tomorrow morning to take the dogs in for their annual checkups and shots.  I made their appointment for 8:30 am so we could miss the worst of the heat.

There was lots of haze and smoke to the north today.  Seems that it is even affecting the west side of the mountains.  Our high for the day was 86.

We watched Fight Club this evening; it's only 13 years old.  OMG!!  Phenomenal, and not at all what I was expecting.

Wednesday 7/8. It is 66 and hazy this morning.  Lake Wenatchee received an inch of rain yesterday!  Good for them.  Now where is ours?

Thought for the day: I choose to live by choice, not by chance; to make changes, not excuses; to be motivated, not manipulated; to be useful, not used; to excel, not compete. I choose self-esteem, not self pity. I choose to listen to my inner voice, not the random opinions of others.
