Shake Rattle and Roll

A blogger friend asked how we are doing out here with the earthquakes. Well, we roll with them! LOL yeah, dumb joke. To tell you the truth, I am not too affected by them. I have lived in So Calif for about 40 years and I have learned not to be too afraid. We are prepared, have earthquake stores and water and we will be ready when the big one hits. The funny thing is that the first in this last set of quakes hit when I was at Home Depot and I never felt a thing. my son called me and told about the things that had fallen and we did have some broken stuff. Nothing too big. The last big one was close about 40 miles away and it was hard! I did have a moment of worry wondering how I would get the cats, the dogs, the bird, and the lizard out of the house since I was alone, but then it settled down. Anyway, earthquakes happen and we deal with them. I am more afraid of floods and tornadoes since I have not really experienced them.

So we have been spending a lot of time on getting our house fixed up. New bathroom floors, new kitchen sink, new shower glass doors. Next will be tile downstairs everywhere to help with the heat here. I have picked a pretty dark brown tile and it will keep things very cool! It is going to cost the same as carpet so I think it is the better idea. It will be interesting to see how the dogs like it. they will not walk in the bathrooms right now since the new tile in there. Funny!

I am going to have a scrapaliscious weekend with my sis. dh is out of town and her dso is out of town so we are going to my house one day and her house the next day and scrapping to our hearts content! Then in the evening I am going to start on some....(Dudley!) hats for the kids for winter. Last year everyone wanted one and it would take me a day to make a scarf and hat for each one, so I want to start early this year! I am thinking bright orange for my niece! Yeah! shopping for yarn! (this was on my DO NOT DO list for the last year since I had a stockpile that filled a room.)

Happy trails to all of you! TFV
