Wow what a week ahead of us! My sister Stephanie is coming into San Diego for a week to visit her new grandson. I am picking up Bobbie on Wednesday and we are going to go down to SD until Sunday. Rachelle will be flying down on Friday and staying until Sunday. This is going to be fun!!!! Ron (Bobbie's son )will be coming down on Saturday so we will have a house full of family!!!!! I am so excited!!!! Hopefully Andy can make it down on Friday for the night and stay to join all of us.
Sunday I will be taking off and driving to Las Vegas for the Gift Show and will be coming home on Tuesday or Wednesday evening. What a huge week ahead of me! Hopefully I have enough energy to do all of this. Hum, visiting, eating laughing and shopping, I think I can be tough and make it.
The boys are going to check out colleges this week with their AVID class. They are leaving on Wednesday morning and will be seeing many colleges from San Francisco to Santa Barbara. They should have a great time! They will be home on Saturday afternoon. Andy will probably stay home because of the time schedule.
Our 3rd anniversary is on the 29th, Friday. We will go ahead and plan an weekend away, probably to Santa Barbara for a cooking weekend and wine country later in the month. Doesn't that sound like fun?
Well enough for today, I will be writing for later on in the week. I promise to take a lot of pictures of everyone. Love to all

Great Day!
Well I am excited about today! My nephew is coming up to go skiing with his family and new baby! I will be seeing the baby before the grandmother does, that makes me sad. I will be going over there today to see if they can use the boards from my sons and visit before I have to leave for the evening
Later tonight there is a performance at the PAC and Andy and I are going. Tanya is providing the desserts for the performance. Should be a great show, we are really looking forward to the performance.
Gail and I will be going out to lunch with the baby while the boys are skiing, later that evening we will make a great dinner to celebrate all the great blessings we have! Then on Monday Andy will join them for the afternoon for the last ski run. Should be a lot of fun!!!
So to top that?!!! My sister Stephanie will be coming out on the 26th!!!!! Wow! She will be arriving in San Diego on Tuesday and Bobbie and I will be going out there on Wednesday through Friday. I am soooooo excited!!!! Since Friday the 29th is our anniversary, I don't know if I will drive home or hopefully he will drive out there and we will celebrate our 3rd (12th) anniversary. Get it Leap Year? That way I can stay for the entire weekend. Rachelle will probably come out for the weekend, I don't want to miss seeing her. We'll see.
Well enough for the day, Jumping in the shower and getting on with the day. Hope everyone is doing fabulous!

Fools Gold
Andy and I went out to the movies and sushi last night. We went and saw "Fools Gold". It was really a great movie! Treasure hunting in it's finest. It was not shot in Key West but it really looked like (except for the incredible water) and and it really made me want to go back. I LOVE KEY WEST! I have looked up Mel Fisher and the treasure hunting excursions they have and really have talked to the boys about making taking a year off before college and do something exciting. They have a program that you can sign up for a year and dive for treasure. The pay is minimal but the life experience is second to none. Heck, why can't I sign up? Could you imagine saying to your kids "Yea, when I graduated high school I took off for a year and searched for treasure in the Bahamas with Mel Fishers team."?
With the travel bug hitting at it's peak, I wanted to book another trip down there as soon as I got home. We have talked about renting a house for a month next summer when the boys graduate high school, but with the hurricanes, well, let's say I don't want to experience that disaster, I had enough on my own land with the fires and earthquakes.
Today is beauitiful and the snow is melting fast, needless to say, it is extremely MUDDY! I am staying in the house today, just peeking outside from time to time, I wish I could sit out and get some sun on my face. Spring is still too far away. I am just glad that I had this over the winter and not the summer, makes staying home a little easier.

Well since I have two sets of friends that are leaving for Hawaii today I have just some guidelines for everyone who wishes they were in Hawaii
Guides for living Hawaiian Style:
Never judge a day by the weather
The best "things" in life aren't things
Tell the truth, there is less to remember
Speak softly and wear a loud shirt
Goals are deceptive. The unaimed arrow never misses
He who dies with the most toys still dies
Age is relative. When you are over the hill, you pick up speed
There are two ways to be rich-make more money or desire less
Beauty is internal-looks mean nothing
No rain, no rainbows
Tell everyone you love them and you will always have plenty.
Well my friends, be safe, have a great time and know that I wish I was there with you, maybe next year. Have a cocktail on the beach and a kiss for me if you would. Until you get home, be careful! Love ya!

Day trip to Vegas
Yesterday was CRAZY!!!! Left Big Bear at 11Am for Las Vegas and arrived at the Pulmologist at 2PM, they were faboulous! They walked me right in and withing 10 minutes I met with the doctor. Great news! It was exactly what I wanted to hear except for him telling me that I had another blood clot in the second lung! But the CT and xrays looked great and to keep on doing what I am doing. He complimented Big Bear Hospital on so many levels and said they did EVERYTHING right! I am so very proud to live here, it was almost like a child receiving a medal! Asked the doctor when I can start traveling, this weekend? Think not! But soon!
Within minutes after the meeting we were on our way back and arrived home (after picking up Alex and Dominos) at 8:30PM. What a loooong day!
I was sad that I didn't get a chance to see Rachelle and Mark. They are leaving for vacation on Saturday and I wanted to see her before she left. I still have not met Sugar and Spice, and if all was better I would have loved to stay in Vegas and watch their babies and enjoyed a vacation in Vegas for a while.
Well today is great, just doing what I have been doing. Andy has Rotary tonight and I'm hangin out with Kim. Hope everyone is doing great, please know that I am.
Have a great day!

Daily Update
First of all, thank ALL of you for your concern regarding my health condition. To be blessed to live in such a loving and caring community is very humbling. The out pour of friends and family has Andy and I thanking God that he has blessed us for such wonderful gifts. Bobbie stayed with me for two weeks following the hospital, I have really thanked her especially during my b**chy times.
Can you believe that January is over? Wow! I am glad that February is here and we are on the right road. We are going to Las Vegas tomorrow, for the day, to see the surgeon that did the operation just to get checked off. then we are heading over the the Pulmonologist so he can take a look at my lungs. My doctor said that the pneumonia will last probably 2-3 more months in one lung and 3-4 in the other. He is worried about the right lung and the blood clot in the left. Hopefully, this doctor in Vegas will be able to shed some light on the position of the clot and the damage the pneumonia did on my lungs. Unbelievable!
The snow is incredible, Andy has actually been able to ski the past couple of days. Why live here if you can't take advantage of it? Especially after what he has been through with me this past month, go have fun! Hopefully, I can get some pics of him skiing so I can put on the blog, but since I won't be on the slopes that is not going to be anytime soon. I will take some pics of the snow and surroundings from my porch. (Ye-Ha).
Well I am going to end this note for tonight, sitting and doing nothing is calling me, so I better listen to it. Andy just got a fire started....

Words to live by. This was posted in the Long Beach Pilot Assoc. He was one of the Pilot's that was killed in the two plane crash over Corona CA
It’s a brand new year and what will I do with it? Well looking back at last year I have only one large question, where did the time go? Let’s see 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days 8,760 hours, which is 86,400 seconds every day. Let’s imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with $86,400.00, carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course. Well, everyone has such a bank… it’s called TIME.
Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off as a loss whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposit, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against ”tomorrow”. You must live in the present of today’s deposit. Invest it to get the most in health, happiness and success. The clock is running. Make the most of today.
· To realize the value of one year, ask a student who has failed his final exam.
· To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
· To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
· To realize the value of one day, ask a daily wage laborer who has 10 kids to feed.
· To realize the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
· To realize the value of one minute, ask the person who has missed the train.
· To realize the value of one second, ask the person who has survived an accident.
· To realize the value of one mille-second, ask the person who has won a gold medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have. Time is a coin you can spend only once. Waste your time and you have wasted your money. Remember time waits for no one. You can waste time, however you can’t earn time. Make 2008 a year to remember, don’t look back and say, where did the year go”?

Scott Lawrence, President, GLB
