Good 41ยบ still raining morning. Since yesterday we've gotten 2¼" of the wet
stuff~! It really came down hard yesterday afternoon and most of the
night.
As I was shutting down my computer last night I noticed a post from my
granddaughter, Alex. They had quite an earthquake in So. Cal last night just
after 9pm. (9:09... Jerry's badge number!) 5.1 and the epicenter in the La
Habra/Fullerton area. It was felt all the way in Palm Springs, ELA, Huntington
Beach, San Gabriel Valley, San Bernardino, Riverside, Avalon Harbor, San
Diego ......
Power outage in La Habra, water main breaks in Fullerton and some reports
of looting in some areas. An apartment building evacuated. Disneyland shut down
their rides and the park was not evacuated, but most everyone left as the
aftershocks were predicted to be anywhere from small to HUGE! Friends Trish and
Lydia in Diamond Bar had lots of broken glass, damage in every room, pictures
knocked off the walls, etc. Kristen wrote that everything at her house (W.Covina) was ok. The Dodger/Angel's game was temporarily interrupted
... but the Dodgers won 5 - 4.
Today
my friend Joanie McCoy is celebrating her birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOANIE! Had
it not been for you and
Art living here in Oregon, Jerry and I wouldn't not have found this awesome place here in Rogue River! ♥♥♥ Now you are living in Henderson NV... you are missing out on this RAIN!!!

couple with their 'darlin' accents'!!!

National Mom & Pop Business Owner's Day
This day celebrates small business owners. These individuals spend
countless hours nurturing and growing their young enterprises. The workload
demands, and lack of a hired staff, often translates into long and late hours,
and many missed family and personal events. But, all in all, they love what they
do. After all, they are their own boss.
New businesses have always been a vital, yet not fully appreciated, part of
the U.S. economy. On they retail side, they bring different and unique products
to the marketplace. They provide stellar and personal service support. When you
call, you are more likely to get a real, live person. And unlike big national
chains, they know their products. They are outstanding performers in niche
markets. In manufacturing, they create many new concepts and ideas, making them
creators of new products.
Celebrate
National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day by showing your support....shop their
stores today, and everyday.
