Well I had a very sad day yesterday. I have been having computer problems and sent my big laptop back to the company for repair. Well I told Nancy that I would send her something and as I was looking on my external hard drive in my documents, I found out that they did not back up properly before I wiped out my laptop and I lost the journals that I have been writing to Hunter and Ava since they were born. I cried and cried....called my son and he had no answers...and there goes all those little moments that I am never going to be able to remember to reconstruct the journals. I am very sad about this, but will start over the best I can!
So on that note....hope you all have a fantastic day....even though I did not shout everyone out....I try my best and do care about all of you!
“When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.” –Peace Pilgrim (1908-1981).
So sorry to hear about the journeling loss, I can imagine the heartache. That was such a nice thing to do for the grandkids.
Everyone have a greatday, keep cool and hydrated too. See you all on the losers bench about noon time.... Lori W.


OMG! I am sure that you were just devesated by the deletion of the journals.. I am so sorry about that. I know that you will be able to remember most as your babies are so special to you.
Steve, remains in my prayers. I just want to go and give him a great big hug.......Oh crap I just had a sr moment and can't remember what else I was going to type.
Remember we need to stay hydrated it is going to be a warm one,
Liz
Once again Janine - thanks so much for the great shout out htis morning. You are the best for sure. I am so sorry you lost your journaling - OMG you must have been devastated. But if I know you , you will start up again and will be able to remember most all of what youhad written....cause you are amazing.....
I continue to keep Steve and his family in my prayers and I too want to just give him a big hug.
So, now for last nights dinner.....it was a A BLAST. It was a grat group and we really had a great time. But, now are you ready for this, I (me of all people - the camera ho that I am) forgot my camera. Thank god there were 6 others there with cameras so I am sure there are tons of pictures out there that will get posted. I told everyone they better send me all of them. OMG when we finished dinner we went out front of the restaurant and were taking so many pics it was like the papparazzi was out front - the poor diners trying to get in to the restaurant had to walk through us. Oh well, you know us OH'ers - we just love out pctures. Everyone looked great and I think Julia and Linda are so ready to begin their journey.
So as soon as I get all the pictures you can bet I will post them.
So for today - not alot planned - need to get some things done around the house here like laundry, floors, dusting all that boring domestic stuff.
Everyone have a great day.
I needed to stop in to say "Hi" to you and thank you, and ALL the wonderful Cali board members, for the prayers, good, positive thoughts, well wishes, e-mails and cards I have received during the illness and passing of brother Bob. That comes from my heart and my whole family's as well. You don't know what a blessing it is to have that support and all those comforting words from so many people, many of whom I/we have never met in person.
I am kind of in a daze right now and have many things on my mind and agenda that need to be addressed and taken care of to settle my brother's affairs. Nephew Rob, his wife, Mindy, and the grils got into town last evening and are staying at Bob's place. I took the rest of this week off to help them go through and pack up his things. I went there yesterday morning to start going through his papers. Brother Walt and Mom joined me around lunch time which was great. We made arrangements for Bob's cremation and discussed many things.
So that's the news from San Berdoo today. I expect I will be back to posting now that my dear brother has left the pain behind and is with my ancestors. I like to think Dad was there to help him cross over.
Once again THANK YOU Cali Crew for the love. Believe me I felt it each and every step of the way. And it is good.
