Catching up

 Been awhile since the ole Phoenix might rise.  

And it did all right

And life has been at a dizzying pace.

There have been too many things to mention them all.  I got married (again) to a long-lost love, moved away from Shasta County with a new job promotion, then moved back to Shasta County, and started back at my old job, albeit keeping the promotion.

3 acres, chickens, dog, cat, and garden.  I couldn't be happier.  Things are going quite well.  

Hoping to get a couple of goats this year.  we are all loving the room, space, and HUGE no neighbor views of the valley, including our most spectacular views of Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen.

INCREDIBLE

My son is back in the states after living in japan for 5 years.  My daughter is back in the states after living in Italy for the last 3-4 years.

We all survived the interesting 2020, as well as COVID in general, an election, and a historic fire season in California.  Here's hoping for a brighter, less confusing, more peaceful 2021.

Also hoping to keep this more updated, even though there is noone out there to read it.  LOL

On FIRE!!

Its been an incredibly devastating devastating summer, all across California, with fires raging on into the winter.

Something else is on fire.  ME!! Among the devastation, they say the phoenix rises.  

I cannot sleep

I cannot eat

My body is on fire

Every inch of my being

An ideas creation. Someone made it, people voted, Lego evaluated, voila! One of the funniest and most detailed I've built. 2049 pieces.

Alaska Assignment

Got to go to Anchorage, Alaska for a 2 week dispatch assignment. Very different up here: no fire resources really, all air and float resources. Anyway, its been a great visit and here is a tour by pictures since I've been here. Enjoy! I sure have.
