WOW!! My DS and I just zipped to the mall for a bit and when we walked out it was pouring and hailing! Did you all get it in your areas this was a bit after 7pm! Crazy weather today. We had a wind tunnel whirl through our yard today also.

Do you know who these kt'ers are?

Moni, we were getting ready to go into a corn maze. They give you brooms to hold up high if you find yourself lost. That way the people at the lookout tower can see you and help you out. Flamey, I too thought of MaryRose at first when I saw the gal in pink and I know she was there that day but I don't think that is her. It seems to me that her hair was more of a bob cut and she was a bit, uh, rounder. Jodi-

DS Parke, met a kt'er today, and had to call me!
Q

Well I'm still smiling, Glenda. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Parke today and it was a real hoot. (I admit that I did "play" with him a bit.) First of all, I want you to know that I think Parke is a charming young man and a son for a Mom to be proud about. I'd seen him several times over the past month or so as he whizzed past my office and I knew that he looked familiar to me. Today was actually the first chance that I had to stop him and we had a long talk. I thought I recognized him from photos that you posted but decided today that I wanted to confirm it. So...I had a very pleasant break in my day and a visit with a very nice and polite young man. That was a treat for me too and I hope you pass that along to Parke. And honestly Glenda, I thought you 'd mentioned here or either told me at some point that Parke used to post at the KT. In any case, when he kept blushing (Parke blushes!) and asking today how I knew him and you...I did tell him to ask him Mom to explain. So I dont think I divulged any "secrets" and you can breath easy. LOL

Which KT'ers have you met? Kathy wants to know!
Q

The first two KTer's I met were Pat Lavender and FranCes....and my sister embarrassed me. She insisted on going with me in case one of them was an axe murderer. But now I know Wildchild is really the axe murderer. The only reason I have survived our visits is because I take her to Jocko's for steak. I remember going to a get together at Joni's in Ventura long ago and then a couple of them in Bakersfield I have pictures from a Tehachapi trip. I got rescued by Flamingo from a shopping mall in Branson...I think it was Branson. It is really great meeting KTers and hope anyone who travels on the central coast of California will contact me.

Hi Lunchlady. I did not make it to the Art show. I have been to it but actually like the Southwest Arts Festival held at the polo grounds better. If you ever make it into Kohl's in LaQuinta look me up. I would love to meet you.

We usually don't get the rain the other side of the pass gets or that you get on the other side of 10. We are very lucky.

I live in So cal and we got no rain...they said we could but it never got here. I think the wind was blowing so hard the rain didn't have a chance to stop here! It was sooo windy last night! It blew the top off of our gazebo and blew it to the yard next door....luckily it wasn't ripped. Windy again today but so far not as bad as yesterday. It's a cold wind too....brrrrr!!!

Went to Santa Maria this weekend and it did rain yesterday. No rain today, but it was extremely windy this morning when we left.

We went to a beach-view restaurant but chose not to sit at outdoor tables because the wind was so strong it was blowing the napkins away.

Well, I don't even want to talk about the winds (35mph) and high swells we experienced today on a whale watch cruise at Catalina Island. And, to make things worse ... no whales. :-(

The ride over was incredibly rough. We were supposed to circle Catalina Island once we got there but it was too choppy on the back side of the island. So many people were sick that the captain dropped about half the boat off at Avalon to recuperate, the real brave ones stayed on board. I stayed on board, not because I'm particularily brave, I just wanted to get my $115 worth.

We putted along the front side of the island, found a few dolphin and sea lions but nothing more. The captain apologized and dropped us off in Avalon for a couple hours of sight seeing and then we headed home. The trip back (26 miiles, ~1 hr) was nice and calm (in comparison).

My DD (age 22) had to take so much Dramamine (plus she wore my SeaBands) that the moment we got home she crashed on the sofa and went sound to sleep. Rough day on the seas in Southern California.

No rain Sat night, but yesterday afternoon (Sunday) around 3 we had an incredible thunderstorm and then about 20 minutes of rain. It was very strange.

Our weather was windy over the week-end but we never got the rain they predicted. Must have hit other areas around us I guess.
