Storm of the Century

By Pam Jorgensen -
It really, truly was.
We had planned this trip to California and Disneyland for months! The week before we decided to check out the 10-day forecast to make sure we packed the right kind of clothes. SHOCK! They were predicting a storm that would bring record breaking rainfall A record from 1902, hence "Storm of the Century"! Other terms they used were "coastal erosion" and "flooding with debris-flow". How are we supposed to enjoy our time at Disneyland when there might be debris? We had to postpone our trip for another week. Thank Heaven for trip insurance!!
I lamented on Facebook and had several responses! They all said we should go anyway because the parks would not be crowded and we would be able to walk on all the rides!
We decided to go ahead. Here is what we endured...

On the way to California

Finding an open spot inside was hard so we opted for anything dry outside.


Luckily we came prepared with our own, much less expensive, ponchos

Umbrellas came in handy too!

WHAT HOTEL DID YOU STAY AT BECAUSE THE WAY YOU DESCRIBED THE BUNK BEDS AND DOORS CLOSING OFF THE TWO ROOMS SOUNDS LIKE THE PORTIFINO THAT WE STAYED AT MANY A MOONS AGO WHEN WE ONLY HAD TWO LITTLE MUNCHIES!

LOOKS LIKE YOU HAD A TON OF FUN!!!!

A Game of Memory

STOP "JUST LOOKING" AND PLAY, DAB-NABBIT!! Okay, I am stealing this from a friend's blog, but I think it will be fun. Here's how it works: 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one or more memories that you and I had together, or just some memory of me. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot. Anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. :) If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments or send you an email. (You know, you non-bloggers can still post comments. Just click "comments" below this post...) It's that simple! I hope everyone will play!

A Huge Sigh of Relief!

After 16 years working for Intel Corporation without fear, Scott was finally a wee bit worried when the latest round of lay-offs was announced. Sometimes they eliminate the ones who've been there longer. Sometimes they get rid of the new guys. Here in Arizona - Scott was both. He's been with Intel for 16 years but was one of the newbies at this site. This was the first time we felt nervous. Intel announced they would be eliminating about 10% from each of their sites world-wide. That meant 300-400 jobs lost here in AZ. They announced this MONTHS ago. They kept putting off the final date to let us know if we had a job or not. They kept us hanging, hoping, wishing, PRAYING, wondering... Until tonight - Scott's job is SAFE. He will keep his job. HALLELUJAH!! In an effort to avoid being jobless, homeless and faithless, Scott decided to contact his former boss (the good one, Larry) to see if there were any options back in Albuquerque, NM (or Rio Rancho which is where...

15 Years - that's right...you heard me!

2 dozen roses and a Sonic drink! What more could this girl ask for? How 'bout this? A new wedding band! (Scott wants it to be called an Anniversary band) I've always loved my original ring. Scott picked it out himself with only one suggestion from me...I like baguettes. He did a great job. As I have gotten older though, I have had a new desire. A ring that will not cause bodily injury. I can't tell you how many times I have innocently swiped my hand and a poor, unsuspecting soul (usually one of my kids) gets a scratch right up their face! Carson won't give me a fist bump because he's scared of the ring. And I only had to hint to Scott ONE time and it was quite a while ago!! I'm a simple gal. I don't wear jewelry often. It took me YEARS to get use to my wedding ring and finally not take it off every night. This new band is PERFECT! Simple yet so pretty. Thank you my dear, dear Scotty. This 15 years has been so fun! Let's do it again! Aw...what the heck!...
