I have been very lazy with my blogs - I think I missed most of the month of September? We have been busy as usual and the weeks seem to just fly much too quickly. We will be back in Anderson for the next two week ends - Kathy wants to attend the Roses and Rust show next week end in Redding. She did that show last year - this year she gets to be a spectator and/or buyer? She is looking forward to seeing some of Redding Handmade friends again.
Last week end we did have some clouds and a weather system that moved through which made for some great sunrises and sunsets. The yard is looking great for this time of the year and the trees here in Anderson have sure grown allot in the last 2 years. We did have lots of wind in Tracy last week and I sure did not miss the mess from those pesky big trees. I get the leaves and branches from the neighbors but not from those big trees anymore!! We do have lots of trees in the yard - I think the total was 34 - that is now 30 with the loss of the 4 big ones earlier this year. Most of the others are fruit trees, ornamental and 8 pines.

Today, we went to a horse show in Cottonwood. Our neighbors had their daughters participating in the show and we wanted to see them with the horses. The event was sponsored by the Rescue A Horse program - our neighbors have 10 horses or so and 3 of them are rescue horses. It was nice to get out and see the folks with their animals. Most of our neighbors have animals - lots of cows, horses, goats, dogs, etc. We get some pretty strange noises during the day and night.
Kathy continues to work in artwork - lots of drawing and journal stuff. This is a very busy time of the year for her at work so she is not able to much in Tracy. She has the ability to unwind here in Anderson with her artwork.
2 weeks ago from last Thursday I went over to LM to participate in the Annual 3K Fun Run. I had not run sense the event last year and my performance was impacted by my lack of training. Last year I finished 3 in my age group and this year I was 5th. My time last years was around 26 and this year it was at 28 minutes. It was a good race and I knew my time was much slower this year. My first mile or so was pretty good but then lost ground with a much slower pace for the last half. It was nice to participate and much nicer to see some of my coworkers again. I have lunch with them in the cafeteria after the race. I certainly did not enjoy the trip - took me 2.5 hours to get there in the morning rush hour and a hour to get home - usual. That traffic to the bay area is very hard - hard to believe that I did it for so many years?
I will close with a just statement that I for one feel that our government has once again let us down. If I performed in my professional job like they do - I would have been fired in a heartbeat. I for one am embarrassed with their inability or unwillingness to do the job they were elected to do!!
Hope you all have a nice week and great week.
More later
Ron, Kathy, Tessie and Sammie (the cat)
