SHOWER.
IT IS SO PEACEFUL HERE WHERE WE LIVE. IT'S ABOUT 25 MILES FROM TOWN, NOT MUCH TRAFFIC HERE. LOTS OF BIRDS SINGING, WE HAVE FINCHES, CARDINALS, DOVES AND A FEW OTHERS I'M NOT SURE OF THEIR NAMES. WE HAVE COAKIE FROGS WHICH ARE TINY TREE FROGS THAT HAVE LOUD VOICES IN THE NIGHT, CRICKETS WHICH LOOK DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES IN LODI & MONGOOSE WHICH LOOK LIKE A SQUIRL AND KEEP TO THEMSELVES.
LIFE IS GOOD!
ADDING TO MY STORY 4/8/09
LIFE HAS TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORSE AND MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY IN JANUARY 2009. I MISS HIM DEARLY BUT KNOW HE IS IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE. I CAN ONLY TELL YOU THAT WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR SOUL MATE THAT I FEEL LIKE HE IS STILL WITH ME ALL THE TIME SPIRITUALLY. TO ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE YOUR SPOUCES, MAKE EACH MOMENT COUNT AND TREASURE IT. LIFE IS SPECIAL.
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!
