Right now: I really need to get up to cottonwood to see my dad. I also need to go to Lassen Ranch & Home in Red Bluff. It's just a hop skip and a jump from there to Shingletown to Redding.......I will be going to the Red Bluff Round Up this coming April. I am a sucker for a rodeo.

RN, DH left about an hour and 15 minutes ago. Tabby, how long do you have to keep spending the weeks apart from your DH? We have just over a month left here! YAY!

Right Now SOS - My 90 year old mom's knee and ankle are really sore. She fell last week at her group and the nurse said it was probably only a sprain and that she didn't need exrays... taking her word for it, cuz their is no visible swelling and no bruising we can see. And mom doesn't want to bother with exrays, as she can move around and walk around just fine. But her knee and ankle do pain her and her range of motion is limited and painful in her knee. She hates the icepack, only keeps it on a minute or two at a time. The nurse had suggested the ice, but I thought that was only for the immediate time of the injury, but not sure, so keep trying to get her to ice it. Should I try heat? She loves the heating pad. I'm afraid the heat might agravate it. Suggestions Please!

Right now it's almost 7:45 and Kota's still sleeping. Since theres no way she'll be up, dressed, and fed before 8, I'm thinking she'll be staying home today.

RN I am sitting on my couch still in my jammies because I have the day off. Semester break day at school. No TV, just me and the cats and the silence. RN I am very happy.

right now, i am alone at the shingletown house. made it safely through the night LOL. this morning i had to hurry to town for some supplies and a snow shovel. we are expecting snow at 3,000 feet today and 2,000 feet tomorrow. (we are at 3,900 ft). we may get up to a foot or more in the next 48 hours. not sure i'll be able to get the car out of the garage to go home for the weekend. :-( we are having a dinner party on sunday with our guatemalan friends and the friends who came to the shingletown house this weekend. i may not make it. not only do i have to shovel 15 feet from the garage to the street, once the snow is icy, it's harder to move and the snow plow piles everything along the side of the road and blocks in the driveway even more!
i need some shoveling and snow tips from people who routinely have snow. this is new to me, other than vacations and our cabin when i was a little kid! in boston, we had a heated underground garage, plus i took the trolley when it was snowing...so i didn't ever have to shovel out much.
escapee, it would be cool to meet you when you are in these parts. the back road takes us to anderson in about 35 minutes and cottonwood is the next town down I-5.
well, we have only dial-up and i need to free my phone line.
have a good one all.

Right now, my in-laws used to have a houseboat on Lake Shasta and I've been aboard Haggard's houseboat. It was a beaut!

RN Isn't shasta a beautiful place. We camped there, right across from eagle rock and spent the whole day just skiing and kneeboarding and it was about the best time I have ever had camping.

Right now, it was a lovely place to go boating. We would take the houseboat into some secluded cove and camp there. It really is beautiful.

RN, Tabby the ergonomic shovels (with the bend in the handle) are easier on the back. Other than that, there are no easy shoveling tips. A snowblower is a nice thing, except when it breaks down. I don't know if you get enough storms to make it worth the expense to buy and maintain. The snow plow piles at the end of the driveway are EVIL and make me want to SCREAM! They're even worse when there is ice mixed in. Good luck, Tabby.

RN, my brother used to date kelly haggard, merle's dd. i haven't seen merle's house...is it in palos verdes or palo cedro? something like that!!

i need some pros and cons here: i was thinking about putting the suburban in the driveway, right near the edge of the street with the nose pointed out. that way, i might have to shovel less and the area under the tires should be pretty clear. dh thinks it's much more trouble to clear off a car than to clear a 15-foot driveway of snow.
any thought here? it is sleeting right now, but the forecast is for a lot of snow over at least 2 days. and my fridge quit working. it's 52 degrees inside it. i left the veggies, but all the other stuff is in a plastic container outback where it is 34 degrees. sheesh!
then my dh told me the entry hall floor is now coming up in another area back home in central california.
is it too early for a bloody mary? and if i already had one, is it too early for a second one?

RN, hic, i think it does :-)
the dog and i just shared two-day old pizza. he liked it more than i did.
i think i have the fireplace back under control. darn, that oak is wet. i mean it was seasoned, but so damp from being outside that it might as well be green. i had to try and lever up some of the logs and get some of our dry cedar under it.
we have a top-loader. oh, you can open the front, but i'm not doing that with smoldering logs in it, ready to roll out! at least i am always warm. i have been wearing t-shirts--which, by the way, i will run out of clean clothes if i don't get back home this weekend! guess i'll be hanging panties in the living room...

RN, Tabby be careful putting the car too close to the street. If it's like where I grew up (Quincy, CA), they'll come through and plow without regard to where the vehicle is. That means you'll likely end up with hard-packed snow piled over the grill of the car and that can be a REAL pain to try and shovel out. There's not a lot of easy ways around it if you get a big snowfall, other than trying to stay ahead of it by shoveling frequently and cleaning the plowed mounds away from the driveway as soon as you can (before they freeze up). GOod luck!

rn, mocha, my brain was fried when i woke up. it took me 20 mins. to find my coffee cup, then more time to find the coffee maker. i know it was there, but i couldn't pry the eyelids open far enough.
