In response to "A Busy Morning "

I am a member of Blog City too. You notify Lyn's a Witchy Woman

that you want to be a member and once she adds you to the group you will get the prompts daily in your mailbox. She is having surgery now, and will be back no earlier than Friday I think. In the meantime, you can just join. Go to the forum of BC "Blog City Prompt Forum"

[E] and look for the daily prompt. By Prinses Megan Rose. Then answer the prompt in your blog. That blog entry has an ID number. Go back to the forum and put your blog entry in the forum. Then you can read and comment on other entries if you like. That's how easy it is.

This is my entry for today. "Happy Birthday, WdC!"

. I always put the prompt in my entry. You can do the same. I hope you will consider. It is fun!

"Blog City Hall"

"Blog City Building Permit"

I believe that you need to do the Survey at "Blog City Building Permit"

to join the group.

Feel free to contact Lyn's a Witchy Woman

or any others listed at "Blog City Hall"

. They will be glad to help get you setup as a resident.

In response to "Getting Out Of My Comfort Zone"

Thank You for reviewing my blog and I appreciate you including it Blogging Bliss Newsletter.
I can't tell by your reply where you are located? It would be nice not to see our temps go over 100 but that is a dream. We did spend a week in Carlsbad, Ca which is close to San Diego and it was 72 degrees daily and the evenings were in the 50's. I can only afford a short stay.
I did look into your blog to try and get an idea where you are from, and from what I read I'm guessing Japan. I was there in 1969 my ship was home-ported out of Yokosuka. I did some traveling when we were in port but to much. Young and dumb, so I didn't go to far, a group of us went to Tokyo for a day but that was about it.

Anyway a home is a never end battle of fix and repair kind of like the weeds in the yard their a never ending battle. We've been here 7 years and we had the house painted before we moved in. I don't see the need but happy wife happy life!

I will check out your blog another time and try and respond. Thanks for pointing to Blogging Bliss. I'm going to do my best to get a little more involved.

In response to "Getting Out Of My Comfort Zone"

We (my wife insists) plan to paint the inside of the house soon. The outside needs it too. Been over eleven years. But first, they need to finish the bath and kitchen re-tiling. Original builder used the same tile everywhere, walls and floors. However the previous owner had put wood down on everything except bath and kitchen.

We don't get much humidity here either, but the temps don't usually even hit ninety. Trade winds offer nice cooling.

Our solar lines go through the attic. I've see places where they put it all outside. Looks terrible. Hope the painting and additional solar all go smoothly.

Yes it is, we would sit on our patio and enjoy the beauty that was around us. Thank You for taking a look. Have a Blessed Day

Glad you're back. I may have to do the same because it's been a while since I added anything to my blog. I remember reading yours when you lived way out. It seemed so beautiful and peaceful. I'm sure you miss it. That's where the back porch came from, right?

In response to "New Day"

Hi. Just dropping in and read this blog area a little.

I had that trigger finger happen a few times, then It disappeared. I'm not sure what causes it what makes it go away, but it was painful and scary.

Sorry about the finger Don. At least you guys are heading to Summer and walking will be more pleasant. Got to look on the bright side.

In response to "2023"

Well Don for me it is a great blessing that we do not know how long we have on the planet. The alternative would be far worse. I agree with you that our lives are a succession of paragraphs and soundbites.
