Thunder ,Lightning & floods
10
Wed, 02-06-2008 - 10:02am

Yesterday we had thunder and lightning along with our rain, today is rain with flood warnings! (in our area that is a big concern..there have destructive floods)


and temps around 50....all bizarre for upstate NY in Feb


I am recalling Mark Twain's quote:everybody talks about the weather, nobody does anything about it


I subbed Mon and will again tomorrow, declined Tues....today is my adult class, 4-6..last weeks was cancelled due to bad weather of some sort..LOL


Yesterday I took some time to visit ds and family..he is building a playroom in basement ..looks great...didn't know he had those talents!


Got a call from the young man I mentored, he is taking me out for dinner Sat...isn't that sweet..promises not do what the other one did:not show up!


Bob is included, plus he wants me to meet his parents.


now it is time to do those awful tax returns..yuck..they never used to bother me...


oh well..that's life as we know it


hope this finds you all well, warm and dry!


hugs

Dutch

Spin the dial for WEATHER! Wow, Dutch, it looks like the weatherman just spun the weather dial and you get whatever comes up. Either that or he just throws a dart at the weather map and bingo, that is what happens.


Seems like you are getting a taste of every weather possible.

HI Dutch


The weather there sure has been crazy lately that is for sure. Hope things settle down soon for you and that spring will soon be on it way to you.


Nice of your fromer student to ask you to dinner. I bet this one will show up. A real testment to you that he wants to do this.


Well here in AZ we are dry and a bit on the cool side but suppose to warm up to the 70's by the weekend.


Good ole tax time. Seems we dread doing it more each year.


Love ya

Well..I worked all morning on the taxes..I will owe but not as much as I did when I started this morning! Luckily I remembered to look for sales tax on receipts for the house stuff...I am sure there was more but I only used the receipts I could find.


I just went for a walk...pretty dismal out there..grey, drizzly...at least we know it doesn't last forever!


I got a call yesterday from that young man, Sean...seems a parent wants to come in and speak to him..he doesn't know why, so he is a bit anxious...by coincidence I had this student's older siblings years ago. I offered to be there...which he appreciated..but we also discussed how it might be better to do it alone..look more independent! He IS the teacher now!


Looks like we are going out to eat Fri too..friends want us to join them at a buffet


wow..70's..seems unreal to me!


have a good evening

Sure hope you don't get the flooding there.
