I Love the fall too!

It's a beautiful Saturday morning and I am sitting with a great cup of coffee watching the storm move in from the ocean. My most favorite weather has finally arrived in the bay area. The clouds have so many different shades of gray, that I find it hard to believe. The wind is singing in gusts at high octaves that whistle thru the cracks in my windows and harmonizes with the low sounds through the trees and bushes.

I am thrilled to have this weekend at home without the worry of preparing for a study group for the first time in many weeks...the only thing missing is a fireplace with all of you right here with me. However, it has been fun catching up on the blog and it is almost like you are here. You know what I find fun? Reading a post and being able to know who wrote it without having to read the name! Isn't it amazing how different we are in how we express ourselves?! I think that is very kool!! I like to think of this blog as similar to a beautiful fabric that we are weaving. Each one of us add a different color or thread to the tapestry, creating a dimension and depth that would not be possible without the touch of that special individual that we each of been created to be. I am grateful for each of you and feel very blessed that we have had this opportunity at this place in time to get to know each other.

Oh, wow, the storm is getting really good!!! I am going to get out in it while I can and see if I can take a couple of pictures to put up a little later today. More later.

Dear anonymous,
Winter storms are nice. They show how small we really are.
Rain is to enjoyed, after all, it's only water.
I'll bet you're the 'other twin.'

you all received a F, laugh..... Lisi is thinking of moving down to CC, near you little brother, so guess you'll be seeing me check out the area. She's having trouble with the cold in Vancouver, .... If all works out, dealing with Suzy you may see us all investing near you. I will go to Tacoma for Richardo, if I need to and Bonnie and Rick would like to see buying in Washington. I do have plans, also someone that wants to invest with me. I see it coming where we may be all close at sometime.

I think the operative word that tells us this is Glenda is, bay. Last I checked was thats in Calif. BJ

Jim said...

I think that we should all receive an A. We all knew
It was Glenda because she has a day off from
studying, and Lili was really anonymous because
she always likes a good challenge.

Hey, BJ is that you? Where are you? We don't get to hear from you very often? From Aunt Glenda

Glenda, how it'd be great to run the beach in CC, how about it,.....Lisi up stairs is moving to S.F., it's a wonderful person. I hope that we all can have a meeting at CC, how about that if we crash you Jim, laugh....

Glenda , you have a fireplace, ah know, .....

Sandi Hooper said...

I think that running the beach in cc sounds great. If I could, that's how I'd spend my winter...darn job. My and Filbert gotta keep the electricity paid, or else, he's got no wheels! And then there is cat food and kitty litter to buy. Busy, busy.

Jim said...

Yeh, keeping the electricity paid around this place is important. If we have no electricty, we have no transportation...at least in the ZAP.

CC is a nice place to watch the winter storms as we do stick out in the ocean. So, I guess CC is the place where the get-together is going to happen?

Glenda, where are those pictures that you were going to take?

Why can't I win the lottery? Oh, wait a minute, I don't play the lottery. Hmmmmmmmm..........

Hey, I'm trying on those pictures. I did manage to take a couple, but it was raining pretty hard and I was worried about ruining my camera. After study today (I am taking a break right now)I will work on more pics. Hey, I love the running on the beach at CC idea! And Sandy, I agree with you..dang this working for a living thing! It really gets in the way, but I really like the roof over my head!
Love, Glenda

I'm going for a walk on the beach this evening, Dick. I will squeeze some sand between my toes for you!! The pelicans are really out in large numbers this year. Have you noticed an abundance of them up there in CC or Portland areas?

Anonymous said...

BJ was down here with me the night of the 31st, till early afternoon the first. He was on mom's laptop while we were watching movies, so it might have been him... I was busy on mine.

Jim said...

Dick,
Just let me know ahead of time so my "gizzard" can flare up and I can call in sick.
