Laughing Because If I Don't...............

"Here comes the rain again falling.....on my head like a new emotion......"  Annie Lenox and Dave Stewart

The color of this font is the color of the sky this morning.  Do you know what that means?  It means there is a 30% chance it may rain today and a 70% chance it WILL rain tomorrow.  Dennis and I just looked at each other this morning, shook our heads and laughed.  Wouldn't you just know it!  We waited until mid-MAY to wash all the windows in this house because we just knew the threat of rain was over for the summer and now..................  oh, well, I guess the rain is better than a 7.0 earthquake.  LOL (Gosh, I should NOT say that, it's been a long time since one of those woke us up....)

I'm not going to let the threat of rain spoil anything for me.  I've worked my way thru that blue mood that had me sitting on my pity pot the other day and my spirits are up again.  I'm preparing the house for my parents arrival on Thursday and our family is getting excited for their visit.

I'm so glad my Dad and Mom are easy house guests.  They are so independent that they don't hesitate to make a pot of coffee if they want a cup and the pot is empty.  Mom does a lot of the cooking when she is here because she doesn't like to just sit around.  It is a treat for me, to say the least, to have my meals prepared by my mommy.  LOL  She cooks and I clean up.  It works for me! 

My sister is coming down from Central California to spend a week with us while they are here.  It will save my parents a long drive up and back and it gives us the opportunity to have more family time which all of us enjoy.  I will pick her up at the train station on Friday (the day after my parents arrive) then her husband will drive down the following Wednesday, visit for the day and they will drive home together the following day.  It's going to be so nice!

We were all together a year ago when my parents visited California.  We took a four day trip to Catalina Island which was a lot of fun.  It seems like that was SO long ago.  So much happened this past year regarding their health.  My Mom had two major surgeries and my Dad was seriously ill the end of February and early March.  To have them well enough to make this trip now is such a joy to our family and we are going to enjoy every minute of it.

P.S.  I love Annie Lenox and Dave Stewart!

Getting out the red again to cry about my Angels.  They blew another 4-1 lead and lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers yesterday. I think they need some serious intervention. I'm praying and praying - hoping and hoping.  Maybe a motivational speaker or a sports psychologist or a yoga guru with some guided sports meditations......hummm...  or some batting practice and a few new pitchers.  (pssst...they have the worst record in all of baseball right now.  But I still love 'em.)
