IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, SIS

Let me be the first greet Mabelle A VERY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. For that may I give you my cake. How time flies even if you're counting or not. Not very long ago, you were just a little girl playing cute and showing off our car to our neighbors in Project 8. Next I remember you being a grade schooler at St. Joseph's In Espana Blvd. Fast forward, you were a high schooler at Carlsbad High. Fast forward still, you have a family of your own. And with all that you've been through, I admire you for your strength and courage and independence to make your life work even if some things are beyond your control. Still, you continue to dream and are making the right decisions. Together with Billy's ambition and Julius being your inspiration, I'm sure in your birthdays more to come you would have attain your goals. I wish you happiness and the best in life. Be strong, be positive and that your life is a cause for celebration. May you enjoy your day with those who really matter to you.

By the way, watch for a package I sent yesterday. Don't throw away the paper wrappings, there are cards at the bottom. Take care of yourself because there many people who care for you, love you and need you.

Rainy Days And Sundays

This morning I woke up 6:25 at an overcast sky and small thunder. I was thinking this can't be right because it was so humid inside the house. So I went out to drop off Gino at Ralph's and had to pass by Lowe's to buy sprinkler fuse and lawn mower air filter. Yesterday I had trimmed the flowers and plants and going to mow the grass that I realized it doesn't have an air filter. And later found out also that the sprinklers wasn't working and it's going today that I'll be able to do so at about 1 pm. But, as I walked back inside the front door, it started to drizzle a little bit. This can't be, if it rains I won't be able to do what I set out to do. I said to myself it doesn't look it's going to rain. So, I installed the air filter and fuse at the garage and when inside the house and check my blog.

At about 11:30, Nette's telling it's raining. Raining? That would ruin everything. I took the camera and went out and there it was indeed- the first measurable rain of the year. It rained hard for about 25 minutes and an hour later the sun was out again. While inside it was still humid the electric fan was ON all the time. I had to record this event--this doesn't happen often and during summertime at that.

By what's happening around the world weather-wise, I'm not surprise anymore. We, here in paradise (read San Diego or Southern California, feel very lucky that we don't experience floods, heavy snow, earthquakes or wildfires as other cities and countries do. It seems I'll be able to work the yard later this afternoon after all. I'm still waiting. What do you think will happen next? Find out tomorrow or tonight here.
