Hi Ladies,
I’m reporting good news/bad news about the people stuck on mt. Hood. the one guy died of his injuries, but the rescuers were able to get all the other people off the mountain. Originally there were 7 climbers, but later on there was a second group that needed rescuing. The crews were working against time, wind, & a storm that’s on the way. A snowcat was able to get 3 stranded climbers down to one of the ski lodges. They got everybody down around 8pm. We have some elite rescue teams here. Portland Mountain Rescue, Mountain Wave, Oregon National Guard sent a Black Hawk helicopter to air lift the injured climber to the local hospital.
Because of we’ve been having warm temps it’s made the snow pack loose & dangerous. They were up against loose rocks & falling ice too. I’ll bet they’re glad to be back.
Barbara, so glad to hear you heard from your boys! It’s too bad Sarah is being so stubborn. Maybe someday she’ll open up to you guys. I’m just glad your son is keeping in touch with you, & you get to ‘play’ with Colin.
I’m signing off for tonight, have a wonderful Valentine’s Day.

Hi Ladies,
I’m sorry to hear those idiots scared Tilly that way. We hear on the news from time to time an elderly person or couple get swindled out of $$$ by someone calling saying their grandson/daughter is in jail & they need $$$ to get out. and unfortunately the elderly people fall for it. We also hear about how people get calls from law enforcement calling threatening arrest if they don’t wire money right away. and if you get a call & the first thing they say is “Can you hear me?” DON’T answer!!! Just hang up. I got one of those calls a few months ago & I hung up. They tried calling back several more times until I blocked it on my phone. It’s amazing how low these thugs will go to scare others out of their money. And don’t get me started on the porch pirates.
Altho, karma was working in Wa. state a couple weeks ago when one slipped & broke her ankle. The authorities caught up with em tho!! Yes!!!
We had a bright sunny day today, but it wasn’t warm! The East wind was blowing so it was really cold. It’s gonna be the coldest night(s) so far this yr. Rain is supposed to return later in the week. I saw where we’re supposed to get an Arctic blast next week I believe. That will bring the snow levels down to the foothills. We desperately need snow in the mts. they’re talking drought already if we don’t get more of it in the mts. You guys on the East coast should send it out our way. I’m sure you wish you could.
Well, that’s all for tonight
Before I forget, HAPPPY VALENTINE’S DAY

Hi Colleen,
I’m with Adele on this. be verrrrrry careful!!!! The only time I’ve ever had something on this site was when I had to sign in again, but it’s between the last post & the box where I write my post. It’s not a popup on the screen. It’s in a box that says ‘You must be logged in to reply to this topic.’
I’ve never had a popup tell me I had to contact them. Not on any site I log onto. Never heard of Captcha either. Nothing even close or similar. Just be extremely careful. There’s a lot of criminals that make things seem real when they’re not.

Hi Ladies,
I’m one of those that doesn’t know the difference between a whoopee pie & other copy cats. Oh well, what can I say. It looks like an over sized Oreo, made from type of cake. I have no clue how you’d make em. Have to say they look delish.

Hi Sue,
I hope you’re feeling better now. It’s been good to see you come back, that way we know you’re still with us when you get on here.
Kay was supposed to come home this weekend, but her therapists thought she needed another week of therapy to make sure she’s ready to
come home. I think she’s bored.
I’ve been watching some of the Olympics, but I don’t like everything in the winter games. I’m mostly interested in the figure skating.
Well, that’s all I have for tonight.
Have a grrrreat week.

Hi Barbara,
I read your post tonight & I’m so glad that Neal called & did face time with the baby. I’ve been praying that Neal would realize it would hurt the baby if he kept Colin from you. It’s a good start to healing. I’ll keep praying for you & Jerry & your family. I believe in miracles.

Gail,
I thought you’d like to get rid of your Cardinal, lol.
Adele,
I saw on the news there’s yet another storm headed your way. There’s a big bubble of high pressure over us on the West coast & that’s why you’re getting all the storms. It pushes all the weather around us up & over then down to over you guys. If that bubble would pop then we would get some of the storms off the Pacific. That’s why it’s so dry out here.
Jewell’s sitting near the kitchen which means she wants something to eat. She’ll sit just outta my line of vision & wait for me.
that’s all for tonight.

PS: Google Roy Rogers & Dale Evans & you’ll find out a lot of info on them. All about their baby, their adopted children, etc.

Hi Ladies,
ITKWD is wrapping up with the TSV. The colors are sooooo pretty. If I was in the market for a cookware set, I couldn’t make a choice of color!!!

Adele, would you PLEASE send some of that snow out here???!!!! The snowpack in the mts is almost gone. Mt Hood is starting to look a bit barren. If we don’t get some more snow in the mts, our water supply for the summer will be affected. I didn’t expect we’d have a winter like we had last yr, but this is getting worrisome.
We don’t have Cardinals, which I wish we did! I’m sure there are other wildlife, such as reptiles you have in the South that we don’t have up here. No lightning bugs for sure. We lived next to a grass field growing up & I used to catch grasshoppers, & picked flowers from the field & put em on my mud pies. Or a bouquet for my mom. Now its illegal to pick those flowers.
I heard about the robbery on the news. My question is where was the security system??? I’d think someone that has a home like that would have a security system in place.
I believe Roy Rogers & Dale Evans adopted a child with special needs at some point. They may have adopted more, but I;m not sure.
Well, I don’t have anything else so I’m signing off for now.

Hi Gail,
I do agree about the commercial using MLK as a forum to sell trucks. I found that really strange. It still doesn’t make sense to me. Yes I did say we have a hedgehog. We don’t have ground hogs out here.
I remember that book by Dale Evans. We got it from a book club I believe.
Not much going on today.
take care.

Hi Ladies,
I sent my post before I wanted to.
Barbara, I haven’t read any posts yet, but I hope the truth will come out eventually. Hopefully, someone will trip herself up & the truth will be known. I still say give it over to the Lord & let Him handle it. I’m praying for Him to comfort you & your husband. I hope Neal will realize they’ll be hurting the baby if they keep him from seeing you by skyping.
I recorded the episode of This Is Us, along with the Jimmy Fallon segment with the cast of the show.
Oh, does anyone have a favorite commercial(s) from the game?
Well, that’s about all for now.

Hi Ladies,
Before I get started, I have just one thing I want to get off my chest. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! That was the next to the best Super Bowls since the Seahawks won it. Exciting game.
I wish I could send you guys the weather we’re having out here. Our little hedgehog predicted an early spring, & it’s already here. We’re 10 degrees above normal for this time of yr. It was in the upper 50s to low 60s around the area. I doubt we’ll see any snow down here unless we get an Arctic blast out of Siberia. I sure hope the temps start warming up out there for you guys.
Did you see the episode of This Is Us after the celebrations got over with? I won’t say anything in case someone hasn’t seen it & heard about it.
