SICK!

Ill, whatever! Linda & I have been suffering sinus problems since March 24th. We take medication every day, several times a day, and still have the problem. Aches and pains, sore throat, sinus pressure, etc!

Both Toby and Rosie have had or are now suffering from Chicken Pox since San Diego. Kathy and Jason have had to postpone two flights so far. They should have returned to London last Saturday but they are still here. Jason flies to New York Monday for a meeting and will return Wednesday. They now plan to return to London next Friday.

Tomorrow (Monday) we are going to try to get Dr. Wells to prepare two letters for British Airways - One to say that Rosie has the Chicken Pox and the second to say that she is not contagious.

Out of here!

The London kids arrive tomorrow - Tuesday - late in the evening.

This is where we stayed - second floor. Not a Motel 6!

At the college just before graduation ceremony.

Resting in Balboa Park. BIG PARK!!

This is an oddly shaped Pine in Balboa. It's flat on top!

Leaving SD - Above the pools is La Jolla. The planes do climb Fast!! We

had just taken off and I had to level the camera!

Trip

We returned home Monday evening from our trip to Sandy Ago, CA. Nikki now has her Masters Degree! It was an interesting four days. We spent most of our time in La Jolla - that's La Hoy Ya. (People out there don't speak common English.) We ate a lot - a whole lot! Italian and local foods. All were foreign, ya might say.

Linda & I really did find the area very interesting and extremely pretty. There are trees growing out there that I never imagined. Weird trees, odd trees! The houses were built into the side of the mountains with parts of some houses extending into thin air. If you took a leak off the back deck, it would evaporate before it hit the ground!

Traffic was not bad, really. We were able to scoot around the area without any traffic jams.

I have photos and will post them soon.

Raccoon out back eating corn already - It's not even dark yet. BYE!

The weather forecast has warned us of possible hail and lots of rain beginning late tonight and into Tuesday. Our neighbors, Roger and Carolyn, have parked their beautiful 1992 Cadillac in the garage of the unoccupied house next door to them. We have no place to park our car!!! If we get damaging hail I suppose we will have a damaged car - and house roof!

I think Linda & I will sleep in the Humble area Thursday night so we can be at the Bush Airport by 8:00 a.m. Friday. Don't feel like leaving here early Friday and getting into Houston traffic at 7:30 a.m.

Bye!

Linda & I worked in the yard all day. I think I hauled four trailers of leaves and limbs to the vacant lot and burned two trailers full. We need more grass and about two loads of top soil. We'll get that after the kids leave.

Saw where a small snake crawled across the mud in the bottom of the creek. First sign I've seen of any kind of snake in the creek.

Gone again. Later.
