May 16

One day .7 inches of rain, the next day .5 inches and then the next day, hey that's today and we've got sunshine! It began being pretty cool and foggy but as the fog dissipates the temps are raising. Talk about waking up in a new world everyday, we actually do.

If variety is the spice of life I must say that it's stimulating effect here is causing us to overtax our energy reserves. We're experimenting now with adding some different spices in an attempt to slow things down.

This morning I had some ultra hot Beaver that made my eyes water and my nose to run. Had me gasping for a little extra breath too. Beaver extra hot Chinese mustard packed by Beaverton Foods in Beaverton, Oregon. Man was it good! That on my eggs along with some Reese Hot Jalapeno Jelly on my toast really augmented the spice in my life but things will probably slow down later today or early in the morning.

I can see it now, me sitting in that tiny little room as the words 'fire in the hole, fire in the hole" reverberate off the close walls and shower door.

With the very high cost of gasoline we may haft to sell our house and move closer to town, because Glenda wants to go bowling no matter the cost. After bowling we plan on heading to Auxvasse to watch sweet granddaughter Kaytlyn graduate form high school.

Kids sure don't stay kids very long anymore! Seems like it took me forever to grow up of which Glenda tells me is still a work in process.
