Best Wishes of the Day

Another perfect day in the VALLEY. Slightly cool in the morning with a clear sun filled sky in the afternoon. A great day to get some work done around the homestead. While the Better Half scooted downtown with SONs #1 & 2, I did as requested and washed down the walls surrounding the back deck. I also started a load of wash. On their return we played a family board game and the two older residents went back out to do some weeding while the younger two residents sought refuge from the bright glowing ball in the sky.

Today is a special day. It is my friends birthday. That's right. On this day, in 1949, the actress Meryl Streep was born. The problem is sge has never called me on my birthday so why should I call her. Instead, I gave a HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to my other friend Petrovich. He and I grew up in the BC Interior and shared numerous parallels in our lives. Schooling, careers, etc. We have similar outlooks on life. Care for your family, care for your fellow man, enjoy life, enjoy a good laugh and occasionally a good WHISKEY.

Happy Birthday Petrovich! I raise my glass in your honor. I hope you enjoyed your day.

My Better Half and I had a game of SCRAMBLE this afternoon. Usually our scores are pretty close. But not this time. I was clearly ahead when she drew the "Q" as her final letter. It was clear that there was no spot on the board to place it and when the point value was finalized I was clearly the victor.

A point of discussion was method the release of water in the district is carried out. On occasion, when excess water must be released from the dam to facilitate maintenance practices. It was mentioned, by my Better Half I might add, that instead of just releasing water downstream to the point where the Valley is under a watering restrictions. It would be of a greater benefit to the area residents if we were allowed to water our lawns, wash the house, the car and everything else in sight.
It's a great idea and because it makes sense the District would never agree to it.

Just planted a bug with the Couch Monkeys. There will be NO ELECTRONICS UNTIL THE ROOMS ARE CLEAN. A great idea to be true. I'll just have to see how far it will go.
