Under the Weather?

~ JodiLea

That’s what you call the little cedar tree growing underneath my little weather station.  The moment I took its picture, the breeze had died down and the weather was perfect – around 80 degrees, no humidity.  The Weather Channel concurs and predicts the weekend will be more of the same.

Last week I discovered another reason for my tree to be under the weather – my dog has been eating it.  No one saw her do this, but the truth came out (literally) all over our porch carpet when dog threw up and in the slimy goo were chunks of cedar branches.

It was an extremely gross and daunting clean-up effort – thank you, dear!

Well, it’s late and I’ must get to bed!  I have not gotten enough ZZzz’s lately and I look like, Uhm like I have not slept..

Day One: A Year’s Journey Begins

~ JodiLea

I put my camera case next to my purse to remind me to take it wherever I go. Which is rare. Going places I mean. Doctor appointments and grocery stops and post office stops are the only outings this girl has had. It’s maddening and depressing. I’m eating too much of the crappy-food group

An Eye Opener

~ JodiLea

*** This little story really made me laugh and reminded me of a dear cousin, who is a pilot for a commercial airline. ***

I was flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles.  By the time we took off, there had been a 45-minute delay and everybody on board was ticked.  Unexpectedly, we stopped in Sacramento on the way.  The flight attendant explained that there would be another 45-minute delay, and if we wanted to get off the aircraft, we would reboard in thirty minutes.

 Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind.  I noticed him as I walked by and could tell he had flown before because his seeing-eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight.  I could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him and, calling him by name, said,  “Keith, we’re in Sacramento for almost an hour.  Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?” 

Keith replied, “No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs.  Would you take him for me please?” 

Now picture this.: All the people in the gate area came to a complete and quiet standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a seeing-eye dog!  The pilot was even wearing dark sunglasses. People scattered, not only trying to change planes but also trying to change airlines!
