Happy New Year 2006

Actually, I was awake at midnight, but was so sleepy, it was just any other midnight. I remembered that it was the new year around 5 am. Very stormy day. No flooding yet. No real threat as far as I can tell. The monitor stage at Spreckels Dam is 20' & flood stage is 23'. It's not to monitor stage yet. I don't know just when the parking lot floods, but so far it's just really windy for here. One huge Cypress tree will probably fall soon. So far, it's leaning threateningly toward Jim's two boats.

Roasted a turkey for us & Mel 9 am-2 pm. Yes, it was falling off the bone. ;-) Later, Mel called to say she'd called Bill & Sue and Sue is in the hospital with a lung problem. Sue is a high-energy "Leo" who's always giving to everyone else. Bill & Sue have always had a lot of friends & activities with friends, like parties, camping trips, etc. Now she needs their energy. I'm not sure Bill has fully appreciated the woman who loves him. Maybe this will help. Unfortunately, some lessons are just downright hard. Prayers needed.
