C'mon 2019!

Hi all.

Missed your blogs and comments and wondering what's been going on with you all. Will try to catch up on blogs soon.

Therapy is doing the job, only half a bubble off now!

Camp Fire was crazy scary. Can't believe the devastation and so many lives lost.

Air was bad but better than Carr Fire.

Two of The Guy's aunts lost their homes and everything else in the Camp Fire. Lots of friends and friends of friends are homeless but community is rising strong.

We lost two uncles in November. The Guy's uncle died on Veteran's Day. My uncle passed last week.

Saw incredible cousins and aunties and had our heart tanks filled up. Nothing like family misbehaving with cousins to make one feel young again!

My uncle was in a band in the late '50's and early '60's. His band opened for the first Jan & Dean Tour. He also sang back-up for Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. His voice was incredible.

The folk's house on the river is on the market. (Phew, that was a lot of work, but it shines!)
















Almost tempted to live there ourselves. The folks owned it for over 42 years.

So life moves on, but, to be honest. 2018 was a bit of a shit-show and can't wait for 2019!

    1. Counting down the minutes now! Can't wait!

      I posted one of their records on my blog. Very DooWop. When I was a little girl, the group would practice in my grandparents living room. My aunts, cousins and I would sit on the sofa and cheer them on! They actually played on American Bandstand and a local Denver Saturday dance show, the Dance Party.

    1. My normal is half a bubble off, but I am doing much better.

      I'm hoping that 2019 is much better for all of us, well, except for one whiny jerk that should be in jail! (Again, keeping my fingers crossed!)

      We are pretty happy with the house. We spent the afternoon and evening there yesterday putting up a Christmas tree and just being. It was nice.

    1. Good to 'see' you, too.

      Agent says 5 showings so far. Reports that everyone love's the house. Phrases like "so full of light," "so clean," "peaceful," etc. We'll see, fingers crossed.
