Home & Hurricane Ike

I left Lake Crescent on Tuesday September 12. I have not had a minute to acclimate back into society because of Hurricane Ike. I have seen and felt so much beauty in the Pacific Northwest, but now I realize I am home for a reason and my real life - here in Houston - is where I am needed. Enjoy the new pics and pray for us in Houston.

Cindy's Babies

I am totally traumatized!!!!!! Cindy has been having SEX!!!!!!!!! I have been looking for the little trollup for weeks! Do you have any idea how people whisper when you stand at the edge of a mountain and holler "Cinderella", "CINDEREEEEELLLLLLA", "CINDY", "CIIIIIINNNNDDDYYYYYY", well now I am known as "The crazy duck lady"!!!! LMAO Long story short, last week out of nowhere Cindy flys up to the door, I was sooo happy - she's alive! I run outside she is already down the hill, I too run down the hill and voila - 6 babies!!!! Imagine my surprise, I cannot believe she actually brought them home to me!!!!! Suddenly I know how my parents felt!!!! Sorry mom & dad! I have to be extremely careful they really are "wild" ducks and I can not risk them depending on me, or worse yet teaching them to be friendly to human beings not everyone is nice to the wildlife - some sick people out THERE!!!!! ENJOY.

Happy 6th of July!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so I'm a little behind! It was a beautiful 4th of July. No fireworks, no sparklers, no Texas BBQ - wait a minute - NO BBQ!!!!!!!!! Nonetheless, what a great day - the store was full of people - mostly Canadians and Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese (oh hell, all of the eese's) and we spent the the day listening to Lee Greenwood "I'm Proud to be an American" over and over and over and over, over, over again!!!!!!!! (Thank you Tallie!) I do realize I have waaaay too much free time on my hands here. I planted these flowers in the flower boxes 5 weeks ago hoping maybe I would make a statement - I did succeed!

Awesome!!!!!

Awesome scenery! As I have stated before "It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!". LMAO These guys stopped by the store on their way to Mexico City, they started in Anchorage, AK and will be following the Pacific Coastline all the way to Mexico. They are from the Netherlands and promised to keep in touch!!!! I'll say it again - "It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!".

Cindy

Meet Cinderella!!!! Okay, the kids are grown, the dog is dead (poor dead Rustie), and Sam is in fostercare - Kari has him. So now here I am in Washington state and I apparently have a duck! A wild duck. She follows me around the store, comes to the door and quacks, flys up to the windows and flaps her wings at me - she has picked me. She is so "U G L Y", but then again her name is "Cinderella".

Comments

It has come to my attention - thank you Mary - that I somehow or another blocked comments from my blog entries!!!!! Please comment, that's what makes it fun!!!!!!!!!!!

Mexican Food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey ya'll! I am soooooooooo happy. I found a taqueria in Port Angeles!! LMAO I rode the bus into town yesterday and something caught my eye, it was a red, yellow, blue, orange and green building with a banner!!! Could my eyes be deceiving me? Could this possibly be a place with pinatas and velvet paintings and 12 cents a minute phone cards to Mexico, and home made Corona bottle salt & pepper shakers???? Yes, it was!!!!!! I thought for a minute I had died and gone to Texas! LMAO I ran down the hill, something I haven't done in 9 years, and ordered "asada quisadellas". The woman was sooo excited when I asked for pico de guillo! She immediately stated "Your from Texas aren't you!!!!!". I said "somethin' like that!". Guess it's now official "I am a Texan!!!!!
