ITS SNOWING !



I just looked out my window and its SNOWING! It's a fine snow but the temperature is cold enough and there is enough of the white stuff to begin lying down all over the grass and the ramp. I know the accumulation's will be minimal. Come on guys I live in a desert. I am always surprised we get as much moisture as we do. Regardless its snowing and I feel more and more like Christmas. I , of course, still have tons of shopping to do. I have started though—yesterday I took Dianne out and we got the camera for her. Her own digital: four MPX, and comes with 256 meg card. I got the gift cards sent off last week. I just have to get items for locals now...actually Dianne has already done a lot of the shopping and we just have to wrap and deliver.
We have a week. I think we can get it done.

We stopped at out fav restraunt after shopping. The head cook is also the owner. He's a great guy, David. David is young for owning the place. Actually, I think David and Rosa , his sister, took over the place from their folks before out time in the neighborhood. Anyway, he looks up just as we enter and sign in. He waves I wave back and we are seated. The place is crowded for a Saturday afternoon. But, we get a place and the powerchair is for the most part out of the way. We are looking at our menus and plate of hot ground beef and cheese nachos show up just like that! This was a meal in itself...we always forget, that if we just ordered this small dish we would probably be just fine. We ordered big anyway. We we felt great and special that David sent over this treat, free like a Christmas present. I guess a small price on management's part to ensure we return. And we will. Smart Dave.

Last week I got the family Christmas cards so last night I attempted getting out those cards to close friends—the folks you have not seen for twenty or thirty years and think “ I'll either google or Dex” up their address and write a fast card and drop it in the mail tomorrow and boy, won't they be surprised? There is this one guy I have not seen since the 60's—a weird duck but one of my buddies. I have totally lost tract of him. No matter what I tried I could not find any traces Dennis or his family. Then, I tried to locate some of the other strange ones which made up the crew I belonged too. Nothing there either. I did find one website which led me to a phone number. But it was too late by this time last night so I called a few hours ago. I got a hold of Duncan who seems the only one left of the crew and he really had no information to give. This group just vanished. I have a couple of other ideas but they are long shots at best. Two things amaze me: 1. How easy it is to find someone if you really want to, and 2.how some folks just completely vanish; just gone. I hope the now is falling where ever you are.
