Surely something good happened to you today

Happy Anniversary!

 

Congratulations on your anniversary! Enjoy!

 

Happy anniversary!

I went to my monthly quilt guild meeting today and talked to some nice ladies and avoided being volunteered for stuff.

 

Happy Anniversary!
I've lived in AZ for over 20 years and sadly I've never been to either of those places. My dad went to Meteor Crater a few years before he did, but didn't bother to tell the rest of the family. I've also never been to the Grand Canyon.
Meteor Crater, the Grand Canyon, and seeing the Salt River Wild Horses are on my bucket list, and are the three I actually have the best chance of doing some day since they're actually here in Az.

 

I was in AZ last summer, it was the first stop on a baseball tour (Diamondbacks, Rockies, Rangers, Astros). The weather was surprisingly pleasant, just the low 80's. Of course it was the middle of May, so there's that.. The roof was even open at the Dbacks' stadium, and that almost never happens!

We also went out into the desert to see the red rocks. That was pretty cool. There's even a church out there!

 

Sounds like you picked the right time to come out here.

 

I'm away from home dog-sitting. It's "real" countryside rather than the edge-of-the-city where I live. The dogs and I go out for a walk at 6am or so each day. Now, two days running, there have been roe deer with absolutely the tiniest fawns I have ever seen.

 

I got premature birthday wishes from my doctor and pharmacist, and the conversation I had about starting med school went well, hopefully I can do it

 

Got to pet the neighbors' puppy. Whenever I water the yard he runs out sticks his nose through the bars of the fence. He cries and barks until I come over and give him nose and ear rubs.

 

Yeah, I had a good time.

And speaking of good things: When our tour group landed in Denver, the driver who picked us up at the airport said that just a day or two before, there was a huge storm. We SO lucked out on that. If the storm had hit when we were there, it could have ruined the whole tour...

 

Coming up on my 35th high school graduation and I still have a calculator that was given to me as a gift that I use everyday and I've never had any problems/issues with it.

 

In high school chemistry class or maybe physics, I learned to use a slide rule. And then, in college, handheld calculators arrived and slide rules were instantly antiquated. Here today and gone later today. Another useless skill.

 

The two owl chicks that my mom and I have been watching out at the park where we hike have fledged! It's exciting to see them make such a big step, but at the same time it's kinda sad because it means this might have been the last time we'll see them.

 

We were so dead at my store today (ing road construction ) that they let me go home early.

So now I am officially on vacation. San Francisco, here I come!

 

Went to a convention today, me and two other friends went to the photoshoot with the four hobbits and gollum from LOTR. It's a nice birthday present, but I'll be the happiest if I get the job

 

All of my kids and grandkids came over to take me to lunch and celebrate Mother's Day. Good food and great company.

 

I decided to test myself and went on my longest walk I've ever gone on. I was out for a little over 2 and a half hours, and when I measured the path I took on Google Earth it came out to 6.39 miles. I don't think this will be a regular thing, I just wanted to see if I could do it.

 

I’m at the Dodgers / Giants game with my nephews and we’re having a great time
