I was an blond before my hair started turning white after my mother passed away. I see why she died come to think of everything going on

Ok, well, I'm here trying to get "Teresa" to finalized my Christmas outtings for the family to the Oregon Garden...Dec. 12th and 13th...she has one Queen sized room but working on the second one..admission for everyone and accomdations over night two nights, and breakfast buffet...and all the activites...I gave her my credit card number, but you know I have the cash already set aside for this...when we check out Sunday morning...I'm not done yet...Grandpa and I might head back to the house, but I'm setting up things for them kids and grandkids.. to spend the afternoon at the Waterpark at the Evergreen Aviation and Space museum along with the 747 water slides. Mom, dad and three kids...over 42 inches tall....then they can come back home for school the next day. Hope we can get the other room....as I wanted my son and his wifey after they arrive to go to the lounge and spend an few quiet moments with just each other also. That morning...I can do my walking at the Gardens area,..kids can go hot tubbing and the festivites start at 6 pm to 9pm that night with the lights and carolers and what not. This is it...their only Christmas present this year except for the grandkids. So let's hope it goes well as it should. 

Tonight is the "blood moon" eclipse which we can see here early in the morning before 5 am...for Isreal is is an harvest celebration. John Houge says its the "time" when God speaks to his people.  

In the meantime, another monster typhoon hit's Japan tomarrow, it looks worse then the last one leaving there. It was sad to think of the little kid from Kobe use to come to my house and know it got hit head on with the last typhoon...polite nice foreign exchange student he came and told me goodbye and thank you and after he left..he left on the table beside the computer we shared with him...an fan with an lucky lady bug on it.  Hope they get an lucky lady bug also. Hunker down as they say. The people with Gresham's sister City..made thier little garden island with an name I think they said meant "Crane" but in Japanese, it's got "Suri" in the middle of it. They now own the ground where my brother in-law grew up as an child....bought it from the city as  it was an City Park.

I walked my 5 miles today, but I'm still up an pound from in Sept. Not losing and those lab tests are coming up...scarey issue. I'm ready to start working on an Christmas box for Judy to send off also. And an garland for sissy in her room. I have two presents yet to buy for the boys yet and I'm done. Now for those rooms and we can say the Holidays were somewhat sucessful.  They had such an crappy time in Seattle at that baseball game earlier this year...with heckler that was an Seattle Mariner cutting the other team to pieces as they played...and lost the game...Boston Red Socks. This weekend she's suppose to go with the school to the San Juan Islands and it's not sounding any better an trip either. I hope she gets back before we start our week of rain an showers, and no one's crabby because we need the rain that badly. If it comes in as the tail end of one of these hurricanes things could kind of get an bit "dicey" around here. I go for now...have my sister here tonight also, see her weekly TV Show, we are trying to talk her in to an "tablet" that airs TV programs on it. We think she'd get more for her money.... then just the cable company on an tv set. Talk to you later on.

You are one busy lady Shirley, you should be as thin as a rasher of bacon! lol
