Moon, Daffodils and Bell 206

 3-14-2025

I was on the computer tonight when I remembered the lunar eclipse was around midnight for this area.  The camera had a hard time focusing because of the low light and this was the best picture I got.

When I downloaded the moon pictures, I found this one James had taken of me in February when I was showing him my new viewfinder.

James came up and visited us today.  I didn't accomplish much today, those new exercises they have me doing really tuckered me out. 

As James was leaving I noticed the daffodils were starting to bloom so I went over and took this picture.  We had a little excitement this evening when I noticed a police car on the security camera.  I went out to where I could see down the driveway and a wrecker was hooking up to a roll over accident that was upside down in the ditch.  There was one WSP car still there.  I saw on Face Book that they transported the driver to be checked out.

I had a great time flying my Bell 206 today, I ended up making 4 flights.  Since there has been lots of rain lately I got the mower and roller out and went over the lawn this afternoon.

After my last flight I was headed in for the evening when I noticed the sunset and took a couple of pictures.

When I got in the house I found Vera out on the back deck taking sunset pictures also with her camera.  We sure do think alike!

Another Trip to Kaiser

 I had physical therapy at the Orchards Kaiser today.  My range of motion has improved on both knees and they seem stronger.  They made some changes to the exercises I do twice a day and I scheduled an appointment for next month to check my progress.  James remarked the other day that it looks like I am walking better.

After my appointment we stopped at Costco for some laundry soap.  We managed to fill the cart before we got out of there.  Vera was joking with the guy that checked our slip on the way and said "We came in to get the laundry soap" and he replied "At least you have it, some people come in to get something and end up forgetting it".

Vera heard some ladies talking about hail and snow up by Battle Ground.  We were going to 3PEAKS for lunch and had to drive for about a mile through slush.  As usual the halibut fish and chips were great.

As we were coming over Pleasant Hill rd. there was a beautiful big rainbow.  By the time we got to where we could take a picture of it, it had faded quite a bit.

Laury sent me this picture of the cousins after we got home.  I looks like they are really enjoying it at grandma's.

Kaiser Week

 

2-26-2025  My YAG laser treatment yesterday worked out great!  My vision is so nice and clear now.  Today Vera had a dental appointment so we were back at Kaiser again.  She came out of the appointment with another appointment for Friday to get her teeth cleaned.  They must have had a cancellation for her to get in so soon.  That will make 3 trips to Kaiser this week.

2-28-2025  My new helicopter came today and I couldn't wait to test it.  It is the same as the red and white one I have and flies just like it.  Now I have a backup if something happens to the other  one.

3-1-2025  Jordon had a basketball game today at Coweeman Middle school.  They won their game today, their first win and boy did they celebrate!

After the game we went over to the Fiesta Bonita Mexican Grill for dinner.

Michelle took these pictures by setting her phone on the window sill and using her watch to take the picture.  We had a great time and the food was good.  As usual we ended up taking half of it home for tomorrow.

Mik took this picture when they brought the birthday surprise to Debbie.  Josh had arranged it and Debbie didn't know it was going to happen.

3-5-2025  James came up and ate lunch here today.  He has come up several times having lunch and bringing me pellets.

3-6-2025  The lawn was getting pretty lumpy so I bought a new roller and went over the lawn today.  I am going to use it every time I mow until the lawn dries out.

3-8-2025  We went down to Coweeman Middle school for Jordon's last basketball game of the season.  He only played the first half as he had to leave early for baseball practice.

Mik and Michelle were at the beach so they couldn't make it to the game but sent this nice picture of them having a meal there.

3-9-2025  I had a nice call from Barry today.  He had been out at the Cactus Fly In at the Casa Grande airport and sent me this picture of his new neighbor with his plane.

3-10-2025  Laury sent me this picture of Brentley, I was talking to her and David at the play fort the other day and it sounds like they are really enjoying the grandkids.

3-12-2025  James came up from school at lunch time today.  He brought me pellets yesterday and said the kids had been kind of wild.  He said the kids were acting much better today.  Vera made it home from bible study before he had to leave and got to visit with him too.  We sure do enjoy his visits.
