high tech stuff

Some of my kids told me to get a flip video. They want videos of where I go, which usually isn't far. But next month I go to New England with Joan. We will attempt to be leaf peepers with our nurse friends who live there. if there are leafs worth peeping at, I will video them. Along with videos of Joan screaming..."TURN THAT DAMN THING OFF!!" Or maybe it will be ME screaming at her when she secretly aims the Flip my way to catch me doing something untoward. (look it up).
Only Mike acts untoward, so i will flip-video him and post it on the blog soon. hahaha.
bye.

train wrecks wreck lives

There was a severe train wreck just over the hill from us on Friday late afternoon. A Metrolink passenger train collided with a Union Pacific freight train. The Metrolink train had passengers headed home to Simi Valley and Moorpark stations. Saturday Mike saw people gathered at a home 4 doors down from us, the home of Roger, so he stopped to ask if our neighbor had gotten home ok because he rides the train sometimes. The 2 grown sons told Mike they had not heard from their Dad yet. By late last night, all the dead had been ID'd except for 3 men and a woman. Today Mike stopped by our neighbor's home after church and found out that Roger, the dad, grandpa, and all around nice guy, didn't make it. The family was informed at mid-night that Roger had finally been ID'd as one of the victims.
He leaves a wife, grown sons and a little grand daughter.
All I can think about is the need to "be ready"; be ready to leave this physical realm at any time, you know not when, but one day we will each be called upon to go to another realm, ready or not.
Carpe diem.

Happy Birthday, Wen!!!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful niece Wendy! And Cierra's beautiful mom! When Wen was little she called me "Aunt Dee". And when Timmy came along, he called her "NeeNee" and she called him "Pinny"... ah, all the sweet memories.
Wendy, Happy Birthday to you!!

Mom's work is never done.

Watch this video if you are a mom, or ever had a mom. Tis sweet and funny!

I AM SO STOOPID!!!

Here is a video of how to ride a roller coaster and enjoy it:



C and J had a wonderful ride! A fun ride!! They are actually young and in shape and had fun!

Next video is how to never ride a roller coaster! It doesn't work to pretend that you are young, in shape, and ready for some fun. STAY OFF THE RIDES IF YOU ARE OVER 60!!! Joan said she is gonna kill me because I got cocky, had fun on a gentle rapid boat ride, and felt like we could be kids again and enjoy a roller coaster. It was NOT a pretty sight. We did not know a camera was filming us. We had neck pain so severe we wished we were dead. We could not even scream out in terror or agony. Watch if you can stomach it; it is not a pretty sight... 2 old fools on Ghost Rider!!

But it sure was a fun day watching our grand daughters having fun together. Gram would've been proud. Then she'd say, "You Pole-cats! Why didn't you take ME?"

Family Time

We had a wonderful 8th birthday party for Will this weekend. Mike and I finally had all 6 of our grandkids together at once for a picture with us. I reckon that will not happen much as the years go on, so it was special to capture them all with us at once.


Tim and Tara were in town for a few days and we sure enjoyed their visit. They have to hightail it back to ID so kids can start band camp, football practice etc.


Can you name all these Kelly girls??


My babies... Kimmy, Timmy and Kristy!!
