Good SUNDAY Morning

GOOD MORNING LU  AND ALL THE WONDERFUL CALI PEOPLE.

I'M SO SORRY YOU HAD TO WORK TODAY BUT IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU POST TO OTHERS TO HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND TO REMEMBER THAT SOMEONE IN RIVERSIDE LOVES THEM. YOU MAKE IT A GOOD DAY TO ALL THAT WAY.

I HOPE YOUR DAY IS A BEAUTIFUL ONE.

FOR ME I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH MY GARDEN...... YOU KNOW HOW THEY TALK ABOUT TRADING ONE ADDITION FOR ANOTHER.. WELL WHEN I FIRST HAD SURGERY YEARS AGO IT WAS SHOES.. I HAVE SO MANY SHOES THAT I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO WEAR THEM ALL.... OMG..THEN IT WAS PURSES HOKEY TOOT DO I HAVE PURSES..... 

THEN I UNFORTUNATLY WENT DOWN THE WRONG PATH BACK TO CANDY TILL IT MADE ME SICK.... THEN ONE DAY I STARTED TO READ STEVE'S POST EVERYDAY ABOUT HIS GARDEN....WELL MY NEW ADDITION IS FLOWERS AND SOLAR LIGHTS AND SOLAR STATUES, TUNED WIND CHIMES... OF COURSE I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A TUNED WIND CHIME NUT... IT'S JUST NOW I HAVE TUNED WIND CHIMES THAT LIGHT UP AT NIGHT THANKS TO SOLAR...

WELL UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE MORE FLOWERS AND STATUES AND ROSE TRESS AND BUSHES AND SUCH THAT I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM IN THE BACK YARD FOR THEM ALL..... SO I GO OUT EVERY DAY AND TALK TO MY HYDRANGEAS AND ROSES AND TOMATOES AND TURN MY SOLAR GOODIES THAT I LOVE AND SPEND A FEW HOURS OUT THERE.... 

ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO START REMEMBERING TO WEAR SUN BLOCK AND A BIG HAT.  I DON'T WANT THE PROBLEMS THAT LIZ HAS AND IT HAS BEEN LIKE 17 YEARS SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN THE SUN FOR LONGER THEN IT TAKES TO GO TO THE CAR AND INTO THE DOCTORS OFFICE. 

 I DID'T REALIZE HOW LONG I WOULD STAY OUT THERE PLAYING WITH THE YARD..

THE ONLY THING THAT CAN HAPPEN NEXT SO I CAN GIVE THE YARD SOME ORDER IS TO MOVE SOME OF THE FLOWERS IN TO THE FRONT YARD... BUT THAT WOULD MEAN I WOULD HAVE TO GO IN THE FRONT YARD.... OH NO THAT'S NOT HAPPENING..

 SO I HAVE OVER 35 MINI ROSES IN RESIN COLORED AND PLASTICN PLANTERS. I HAVE 2 5 FT ROSE TREES THAT HUBBY BROUGHT ME.. OMG ONE SMELLS AWESOME.. THAT'S THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE MAJORITY OF MINI ROSES... THEY DON'T HAVE MUCH SMELL... I DO HAVE 5 OR SO THAT SMELL HEAVENLY.. DWARF CALLA LILY'S AND SPOTTED CALLA LILY'S AND HYDRANDGEAS AND DIANTHUS AND GERBERA DAISY'S,  8 FULL SIZE ROSE BUSHES IN PLANTERS, LILY'S AND ALL THE SOLAR STATUES AND AND ALL THE ONES I CAN'T REMEMBER... 

I PUT EVERYTHING IN CONTAINERS THINKING THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO PUT THE FEW FLOWERS I WAS GOING TO HAVE IN FRESH GOOD NON DISEASED SOIL... OH BOY DID I GO A LITTLE OVER BOARD FOR EVEN ME.

I THINK I BOUGHT TO MANY FLOWERS AND DIDN'T REALIZE I HAD NO WHERE TO PUT THEM...    

OH WELL I HAVE LOTS OF FLOWER FRIENDS TO TALK TO NOW WHILE MY GRAND DAUGHTER SWINGS AND PLAYS IN THE SAND BOX.  WHAT A MESS, NOTHING IS ORGANIZED AT ALL. OH WELL I'M HAVING FUN JUST PLAY IN THE DIRT AND WATER AND WATCHING THE LITTLE FLOWERS AND BIG ONES GROW. THE ONLY ONE I HAVE TO PLEASE IS ME AND WHEN I AM IN MY BACK YARD I FEEL 30 YEARS YOUNGER AND HAPPY AND STAY AWAY FROM THE FOOD. I HAVE MY PROTEIN AND WATER WITH ME AND JUST SAIL AWAY TO PARTS NOT GONE TO IN MY MIND IN YEARS AND YEARS.

STEVE IF YOU READ THIS, THANK YOU FOR THE IDEA AND FOR THE EXERCISE AND PEACE I GET FROM MY YARD. IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU TALKING ABOUT YOUR GARDEN AND HOW MUCH FUN YOU AND D HAVE I WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN BACK INTO IT AND BEEN THIS HAPPY. THANK YOU.

SORRY ALL FOR RAMBLING ON THIS MORNING AND THANK YOU!

LOVE TO EVERYONE ON THE CALI BOARD AND HAVE A WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL DAY.

Good Morning Lu and Crew!

Just a quick type by for me this morning, I have terrible cramps and I think I might actually crawl back into bed for a little while, which is very unusual for me!

Yesterday was my one month, I never got around to new pics and measurements, so I will do that and post them later. I also never weighed, the battery in the scale died at least a week ago and I keep forgetting to get a new one, I took it out this morning though so if I ever get my day started I can take it with me to get a replacement, it's one of those funky flat ones.

BTW Lu, I have done that AIDS bike ride multiple times as a volunteer crew member, I actually used to work for the company that produced it for the first 8 years, AND, that event is how Chris and I met, we were both working crew in 2000! There also used to be other rides around the country, I did a bunch of those as a staff member too...I think CA is the only one still operating though. It's REALLY fun, many of my best memories are things that happened on those events. I was just telling Chris Friday night that I am going to go back and crew the ride again next summer!

Anyhow...off I go...I hope everyone has a great day!
