Pacific County History Forum 3-6-2024 On YouTube! I hope you have time to look at this video. It's the best one yet! As usual a great Forum AND the best video. Except for the body in the red jacket that keeps getting in front of the camera in the...
Today was the day that I was to Get Things Done. It said so on my calendar in my own handwriting. And so I did -- but not at all as expected! At the top of my list was to call my old friend Nancy Lloyd which I did, but had to leave a message. ...
Well, today was one of "those" days when I (once again) suspected that I was losing it -- probably It with a capital I which is the part that I seem to be losing. But, it turned out all right, so that's the bottom line that I'll keep in mind. Once...

February 22, 2024 It was Martha's idea and, I must say, it was a great one. She suggested that Rose and she and I all go out to dinner to celebrate our birthdays. We are all Pisces and so, for starters (for this blog, not for our dinner) I took a...
