Good 49º (heat wave!) morning. Cloudy but no rain predictions. Weird, since
I did have my truck washed!
Here we go.... the 4th day in a row I haven't had to turn on the heater in
the morning this year! Norm for Oregon is heater on in the morning, AC on in the
afternoon. You dress for the weather .... warm jacket and shorts! Interesting
part of the country... weather will change as soon as you get used to it. People
here dress sort of like this little girl...she must be an Oregonad!
The first 5 days after
the weekend, are the hardest.
Yesterday I mowed.... and mowed..... before and after pictures....
Probably too hard to tell the difference...
....from where I was mowing ... to the house...
.... and I think this is a lilac bush.... ???

... she had struggles with her weight but now is thin, married, has
children, and is happy. I was a HUGE Beach Boys fan and even named my son after
Carnie's dad, Brian Wilson! Greg Lundell (Wilson '63) and I would do the
surfer's stomp at school dances together, while everyone else was doing the
'corrido rock' !!! (Hi Greg!)
Ok, now this is FUN! Sent to me by Ike Saben..... Thanks Ike!
Last evening I met with Donna Walsh, artist, to purchase one of her
paintings, the black wolf, titled "Watcher". This painting hypnotized me. You
can stand at any angle and he is looking at you, his eyes follow you....
For now he's sitting atop the wood stove. By winter I will have to
figure out where to hang him! Will have to name him too. Suggestions?
Donna is a really neat gal. Liked her right away! She will have a
website up soon, will let you know when. Apparently her mom was an actress and
had been in 80+ movies. I have to ask her what her mom's name is! Duh. I was too
involved with the painting and the brain was turned off!! Maybe we can meet for a glass of wine sometime!
Came home and had a can of Progresso Light Zesty Santa Fe Style to which I added diced
celery and fresh tomato. Always good and low in calories but filling.
Today is my former neighbor, Bill Hilton's, birthday. He lived up
the hill here from me, but sold his place and moved to a smaller less upkeep
home. He was in Hitler's Youth Corps and the German Army. When he found out the
Germans killed all those Jews and not the Americans, he left Germany at the end
of the war and came to America, never to go back! Good man. Good American. He is
88 years old today.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.
