GOOD MORNING
Good morning to MOST of you. I started to write this around 11:30 and then decided to upload a few pictures. That meant finding my phone and then finding what I needed to upload.
It is now 12:05 PM as I start to write this.
Good Afternoon from Our Neck Of The Woods and Rolling Meadows Ranch.
My spirits are better than there were yesterday morning.
It took me WAY TOO LONG to snap out of that MOOD.
I finally just went to bed and got some sleep.
I was able to sleep for a short while. As an insomniac, I will take what rest I can get.
Danny and I had a good day yesterday.
When I got past being selfish….I knew he needed the day off.
Allergies and the heat had taken their toil.
We relaxed. Worked and played on on separate computers either in different rooms or together,
I will sometimes take my laptop in his computer room. I don’t like his room because it is a mess. He needs to throw out a number of OLD computer THINGYS…Large and small.
There are no pics on the walls.
And HE Blocks the window view of the great outdoors.
It is nice though, to just sit and do our separate things……together.
We spent time watching video on his computer.
He spent a lot of time and MONEY setting up our Entertainment Center so we could watch these SAME videos from the TV in the LIVING ROOM in the comfort of our recliners.
So WHY watch them on his laptop in his computer room?
That is where he was watching them BEFORE HE yells out
“Sarah, Come watch this”.
I never know WHAT he will want me to watch.
I put on a smile…or try to and off I go.
Yesterday we watched videos on :
Jacques-Yves Cousteau and the Calypso.
We watched his life story. The history of the Calypso.

A video on the Grouper and it’s Spawning Cycle.

At some point I asked Danny to play
John Denver’s Calypso.

John Denver  talks about Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
It’s A beautiful Song.

Then we found a few videos of the trip John Denver took with Cousteau on the Calypso.
I really enjoyed that one.

I am a John Denver Fan.
Bobby and I also met John a few times …..not at Concerts but in Aspen, Colorado. (We did see MANY of his Concerts).
One of those times we ended up at his home. This was when he was still married to Anne and the kids were small.
Anne sent Christmas Cards to us for years.
Shortly before John died , Bobby and I were in Branson , Missouri.
My best friend, Dan (He is the one who first started calling me Sarah…..back in high school,) was a singer and back stage soundman in Branson.
John Denver was playing their and we all had back stage passes.
I met many singers that way.
WOW, when I get rambling , I get ramblin.
I haven’t been in a talkative mood for awhile now.

As you can tell, we had a good day.

This morning started off normally .
The alarm went off at  6 AM.
I was being lazy so Danny was in the kitchen before I was .
All of a sudden I heard,
“Sarah, You’ve got to see this.”
Danny seldom talks in the morning and  Never yells.
So I got up as fast as my slow mowing body would let me…..
and headed to the kitchen when he was.
I looked out the back door that was opened.
There was most of the OLD grapefruit tree, lying on the ground,
The same grapefruit tree that lost a heavy limb (Last week), shortly,
AFTER I moved Danny’s truck back where it is suppose to go.
So A near miss.
Last night , Once again…. the truck was MOVED from that very spot where the tree is NOW LYING.
WHY?
Because I was afraid the TREE would Break APART.
I love being right. It doesn’t happen often enough.
This is the same tree I often take pictures of….Usually with a bird or 2 in it.

I will do a post on the Grapefruit tree and what it has meant to us these last few years.
For Now here are a few pictures:

I will miss the birds on the branches.

See the Cardinal?

it is now 1:15:
Have a good afternoon.
