Nice to hear from you. So sorry about the broken wrist! How long before it will be easier to use?

So..........thank God for small favors! Yesterday we were thrilled to receive some rain in our desert! It was only .17 of an inch. But, it was rain!

I hope some of these small favors come your way too!

Love to all, Linda

linda - since like you we're not in the dreaded texas elec. grid i didn't have any trouble and you do know you're 14 hrs away from me about the same as driving to bloomington! i do wish i'd thought to look you up when my son got married in el paso (actually chaparral.)

mel - tats - got my first in 1975. owl, flower, rainbow inside right arm. peace/flowers outside right arm. all fingers/thumbs. date total eclipse (8-21-17) , moroccan design i liked, om symbol inside left arm. lotus flower face. flower inside right ear. flowers on both ear lobes (where earrings would go.) never regretted any of them. surely i'm not the only raider with tats???????

Hi! Actually it takes me 19 hours to drive to Bloomington. However, since my knee replacement, it is difficult for me to sit still, comfortably, in a car for more than one hour. I no longer drive out of town. I have difficulty sitting still to fly also. But, flying is faster. I have to use a wheelchair at the airport to get to and from the gates. Otherwise, I'm getting around well. I am still working and I'm happy about that. It is so good for me to get up and go to work and make my brain work. I find that I am happiest while I am busy.

You're always welcome at my house!

Love ya, Linda

Julie... I'm sure there are others in the class with tatts. They just have to speak up. I have only 1 above my left ankle. Been there for about 35 years. It is an Orca whale's tail. Have been thinking about covering it up with a Kokopelli if that is possible. May talk to a tattoo artist one of these days.

Max: Kokopeli is a big deal here and into the Mimbres area of the Rio Grande! You surprised me with mentioning him.

Love ya, Linda

A CALL FOR BIRTHDAY VOLUNTEERS!!!

Hey everyone, I've been doing the birthday announcements for just over a year and have no problem continuing except for one thing: Tomorrow I begin a series of major dental surgeries that could take several weeks or more to complete. I'm hoping someone might volunteer to take over for awhile. Following in Suzi's wonderful and caring footsteps was challenging, but it has actually been fun to watch as we all reach 75.

I'm doing my last birthday post today, a few days in advance, which makes May 10 the next one. If anyone is interested in taking over, please give us a head's up. If not, maybe everyone will take notice of the birthday list on the Home Page and post your individual greetings to celebrate as those dates arrive.

Many thanks and many hugs to all of you.

Mel

Love ya, Linda

Picture of granddaughter being air lifted after injuring her ankle mount San Jacinto peak in Southern California. She was hiking the length of California when she got hurt. Her ankle is broke so she had to come home. That's her dangling from helicopter.

Suzi: So sorry to hear about your granddaughter! I pray that she will heal well! Bless her heart!

Thanks Linda. She's doing okay just upset

because she didn't finish the hike. I think

she was hiking to the California Oregon

state line.

For those of you interested in McLean County History there is a new section on their website called "Home Town in the Corn Belt". This was published in 1950 by Clara Louise Kessler. It has 5 volumns, 171 Articles, 39 Biographical sketches. That's 1500 pages of local history. Before being digitized it was only available at the Museum Library and the Bloomington Public Library. It has been digitized and made possible for all to see thru their website because of a memorial gift in Milan Jackson's name and is listed as being in his memory. I've started reading it and finding it very interesting.
