Do you remember I told you all
Billie just waited
And waited
She sleeps like Kathy Roanhorse,
She was in my face
On my chair/lap
At my feet ,What a Pal!!!
In my face again....
Across the room...
What is sooooo interesting??
Soft pillow for my head..... 
Not long now Billie
You just take your time
Nestled down between many tall buildings and terraced nicely.
There we found the event going on. Already there were alot of people mulling around I would say about ten or twelve tables
covered with all these bowls made during the year. Some were quite pretty, others plain, some interesting. Boxes and Boxes more on hand to give out.
I must have been hungry..( I just liked them) I got three. We did eventually use them all.
The deal is you pay $12 for each bowl and then they give you a serving of ....it happened to be pasta with chicken or pasta with shrimp. some years I guess it has been soup,,,etc. Anyway your serving is about 500 calories, what they figure a homeless person gets per day.
Scott met us down there on his lunch hour and we visited a while, he returned to work, then Doug picked us up, took me to my car on Dobson and I was off to home.
Better get the kleenix ready.........
It has brought tears to my eyes. Thinking of all these men have had to go through
Yes, I tell you it just really got to my old hard core and the tears have come freely as each one arrives safely to the top.
Between each rescue they have told of all the problems faced with this So many things could have gone wrong.....
Billie wants to know what the h___ is going on with me. Blowing the nose and crying. Toughen up!
I had to go Visiting Teaching, I was just about to call it off.....but that wouldn't be right would it????
So....yep I grabbed that remote and recorded the whole thing..........
It really got to me. We visit a sister Sandoval and she called my attention to the fact that they are wearing a tee shirt that says'''gracious senor' thank you God....... Yep it made me cry again....
Thank goodness for kleenix and for the safe recovery of most all of them I hope it continues on.
Well as the long hot summer went on I read and read........."Setting Sail....Murder by the Book.....Dead on Arrival.....
Earlier in the year I read this book. The pilot "sully" who landed the plane on the Hudson and all passengers survived. Great story.....
Billie silently???? waited for me.
Others I read.
Can we play yet????
Are you still reading.???
Anyway, needless to say I did read alot this summer in fact during the year.....I also read the bio of Ted Kennedy. This man was remarkable and did alot of good in his life. And if any of you remember the funeral it was compared to that of JFK. People lined the streets and waved. He was a respected figure in Washington DC and had finally found his "soul mate". They loved to sail. He was a Democrat and his life was one of service and giving. It told that for years he would leave congress about noon on one day of the week and go to the inner city and help children with reading and other school activities.
Anyone who has been around here for any length of time at all knows a sand storm can be real bad.
It just keeps moving along and the sky begins to darken. I know you are really enjoying this.!!?? But it is quite a sight.
If you are driving, you better get off the road if you can. You really don't want to be out in it.
The sky eventually just turns a dark red....it is really hard to describe. It darkens and finally blows over. Sometimes the guys in the sky see them and it is interesting to see it from the helicopter view.
