Hi Everybody!
((((HUGS))))
Had a reserve two week tour there in Oct 1970. Absolutely loved it...but that’s when California was still California. Wonderful then.
WOO-HOO, Road Trip time, thanks Lauren!
Lots of good times here.
Thanks, unique, for the road trippers!

Bible in a Year:
Better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.
Our neighborhood, like many others, uses a website to help neighbors connect immediately with those surrounding them. In my community, members warn one another of mountain lion sightings and wildfire evacuation orders, as well as supply one another with child care when the need arises. It has even proven to be a resource for locating runaway pets. By leveraging the power of the internet, those living near one another are connecting again in ways that are often lost in today’s fast-paced world.
Being in relationship with those who live nearby was also important long ago in the days of King Solomon. While family relationships are truly important and can be a source of great support, Solomon indicates that the role of a friend is vital—especially when “disaster strikes” (Proverbs 27:10). Relatives might care deeply for their family members and desire to be of help in such circumstances. But if they’re far away, there’s little they can do in the moments when calamity strikes. Neighbors, however, because they’re close by, are likely to know of the need quickly and can assist more readily.
Because technology has made it easier than ever to remain connected with loved ones across the globe, we may be tempted to overlook those living nearby. Jesus, help us invest in relationships with the people You’ve placed around us!
Who has brought you aid in your times of need? How can you come alongside those living nearest you?
Thank You, God, for giving us neighbors to show care for one another.
Howdy, lauren.
Sorry to hear the weather’s gotten you down. Warm, cold, warm, cold will do that. I hope you get over the head funk soon. *HUGZ*
Did my time at Warner Springs.
Howdy, PRO.
Did y’all make it out to the shooting range the other day? I hope so and that y’all had a bang-up time. :-)
The weather didn't cooperate for heading out to the range the other day, (don't want to get our guns wet!), so it's on our upcoming agenda.
We're just hoping we escape February without a surprise snowstorm like last year.
Sunny warmish weather since, howz things your way?
