Angie took this picture when she went out on the fishing boat.  She said it wasn't easy to catch fish when the boat had a mind of its own.   The waves kept the boat rocking and Angie along with it.  She did catch her limit though and is ready to go out to sea again.

Fire up in the Sierras.   It is an awesome sight.  I talked with my friend Helen last evening and she tells me it  is awful hot up there.   They did get a rain storm up there that helped put this fire out .   I gather the valley got most of the storm but not enough to cool down Carson City. 

Gasoline cost $4.05 in Washington .  Forty dollars to fill a tank is normal these days.  No fair.  Not right.
 

Wish I had some as my  little bouquet of sweet peas is floundering. 

I'll have to tell Christine about this little trick.  They get a lot of ice on the windshield up there in Washington state.    

Who uses a punch bowl?  Haven't seen one in action for some time.   A good idea if you are having a party and using a punch bowl.   Invite me over and I'll be your taster.

It is Thursday already, the week is going by fast.   I like weekends.   I visited my neighbor Mary yesterday who is home from a surprise visit to the hospital where they did a double bypass and she is doing very well.   She thought she swallowed some rice wrong and it stuck in her throat and she couldn't get it to move and  her throat hurt.  Her chest began to hurt even more.  So much for a heart attack sign, nothing like we have ever heard.   One never knows.   Her daughter insisted she go to the doctor and she did, then out the door to a plane ride over to Medford for surgery.  They got her in time.   Now she has to work at getting back on her feet.  So today remember those who are fighting to survive.  So many need your prayers and a good deed or two, like a visit , some kind words and some nice cold popsicles to help the medicine go down.

I am off to wake up and make my coffee, fix something to eat and put a piece in the puzzle while I wait for the coffee to brew.   I hope that you have a bright and beautiful day doing what you love to do best . . . work . . . work at work, work at having fun, work out in the garden, work even when the boss is not looking, work, work, work, because you can.  Busy hands, busy feet make your world complete.  Smile while you are working, it lightens the load.   Hugs to all.
