More Info

I pulled my post from yesterday after a comment from Cindy.  She confirmed that the address I had posted (thanks to Connie) was a correct address to send a card to Bruce and Margie's daughter.  Cindy thought it would be okay to post the address, but it got me to thinking.    I decided to delete the post.  The address really isn't hard to find, but I didn't think it was my place to post it.

I'm sure Stephanie will post more information as she can.  She updated Margie's blog to let us know she had arrived at Pismo Beach.  They retrieved Annie and were treated very kindly by the community.

We travel with our cats and I always worry about them if something should happen to us.  In fact I worry about them even when we're just out for a day.  You never know when something might happen.

Margie wrote a blog post yesterday asking if we all passed out business cards when we meet new people while traveling.

One of the answers contained a very good suggestion we could all use, whether or not we have animals.  It's a good way for someone to notify our next of kin in case of an emergency.  This last week has shown that things can and do happen and we should be prepared.

Here is the comment

I think that is an excellent idea and I will make something like this up today.  It wouldn't have to be anything fancy...just a handwritten piece of paper would do.  I hope Palms Rv doesn't mind me copying their comment, but I thought it was worthwhile.

I'm still finding it difficult to blog about my trivial life, but here are a few more photos from Sundays day at the beach.  Rick assured me the previous pictures loaded okay. I thought they were too large and was concerned they  would be slow to load.

This first picture is an Egret in the top of the tree.  Can you see it?  I must admit, the camera makes objects look further away than they really are.  

Here is another picture when I zoomed in all the way.

I love the heavy power zoom lens on the camera, but I also found out that the shutter release is much quicker than with my old Olympus camera.  I was lining up this shot when Al said there was a Heron flying through.  I quickly clicked the shutter and got the shot.  I never would have gotten it on the old camera.

The birds and the butterflies seem to love the blooming Goldenrod.

Today will be spent gathering more things for the weekly garage sale. We sold another $120 last Saturday.  Little by little, our stuff is getting whittled away.  We are also checking out selling some things in a local auction next month.  Perhaps we can get rid of some of our china and crystal.  Somethings just aren't good to sell at a garage sale.

Such trivial things to deal with.  My prayers are going out to the family of Margie and Bruce.  They have so much to deal with in the upcoming days/weeks/months.
