Pacific Coast Rest-Stop

[AnneRene']

I feel a tadbit isolated over here and think we need to start a Northern Lights Couch Corner.

Do I have any FaithWriter's kin over here in Northern California? Specifically around Sacramento?

Our Southern Porch kinfolk are w o n d e r f u l....I'm just feeling a bit lonesome and reeeeeeeally look forward to meeting you, if you infact exist!

Shalom

I'm about 6 hours south of you.

Awesome and Hello!

Are we talking Santa Barbara, closer or further? I grew up in Santa Cruz, moved to Placerville and ended up here. Not my first preference of choice, but it is a good place for my husband's work as a General Contractor.

Ok....I am totally new to this forum stuff but am determined to get it down. This is a re-edit of my first reply to you, so if you read it....please ignore it.

btw....I read your profile and share your heart to encourage others. Your web page is great and so full of reading. I could spend hours there but must confess....I need to get busy around this place but will make it an ASAP priority.

Thanks! I'm actually closer to L.A. Not too far from Disneyland.

Sure hope all of you FW's in Southern California are doing alright with all of the extra rain. We were suppose to get "that rain" in Northern California, but as usual, the storm decided to slide south.

Saw the news on the mudslides in La Canada. Wow....you guys have gotten hit pretty hard down there with all the fires and now this.

Just want you to know I'm thinking 'bout you all!

The rain began around 2. Thunder. Wind. There was even some hail.

[Ms. Barbie]

So many streets are flooded. They are not built to withstand large amounts of rain all at once. Yet, they continue to say California is still in a drought. Hogwash!

[AnneRene']

Hi Seema and Barbie....Greetings in the Name Of Our King!

That "Hogwash" about the drought is too funny. I think about that almost every year when "whoever" decides to declare a drought and we've been water logged throughout the winter....doesn't make sense to me either.

I live near the American River and use to work for State Parks. Near here is one of the world's largest rafting sites and many times over the summer, the state refused to raise the water level in the rivers, EVEN when it was 110 degrees and yet we literally had floods going on around here!

And the Hail down your way, the other day....I've heard comments about how we Californians don't know anything about bad weather, snow, etc...I guess they've never been out here and seen the Sierra's or heard about the Donner Party , or the GRAPEVINE...lol.

Well, I am not having any success adding a gorgeous picture on here, so will, after I figure it out!

May your day be Fruitfully Blessed [/img][/list]

Pup, you are welcome here anytime.

[AnneRene']

Oh, yahoooo - eeeeeeeee! I did it!! Haven't been able to figure out how to post pics.

This was the first one I saw on Photobucket and since I feel "bloated" today, thought...what the heck!

[JesusPuppy]

They have PB messed up right now, I'm having a hard time getting the images I want to paste.

I look through most of the post here so if it isn't an ongoing argument I will probably reply.... most times. Sometimes I'm half asleep and don't read it properly. That's when I post silly things.

Ok so maybe that is most of the time as well...
