A Bridge

Scavenger Hunt Challenge #2, Week 6 of 13
Week beginning 5.6.06
Photos Due by 5.12.06

BONUS POINTS AVAILABLE:

1 pt. if the water or land below the bridge is visible.
2 pts. if a ship or other vehicle is passing beneath the bridge.

This is for Brookston’s weekly photo challenge. Everyone has been posting lovely bridge pictures – mine? well – I would have to drive an hour or so to get the one I would REALLY like to post – no time this week – so I am posting this one – the Soldotna bridge over the Kenai River. They are adding 2 more lanes to the bridge – thus the crane and such. Should be finished sometime this summer.

which key on your keyboard is nearly worn off – the one you can’t see any longer? Mine is the “e” key. But I pretty much type without looking anyway. Pretty much – those dratted number keys and symbol keys. I musta been sleeping during THOSE finger drills.

Anyone else remember finger drills? My typing (yes, I said TYPING) teacher – sister somebody or other – made us hold our hands up in the air and close our eyes and she would call out letters and we had to use proper fingering. Proper enough to suit her.

Musta worked – I’ve been tested at 67 wpm with 0 errors. If I don’t mind making errors I type much faster. btw – that 67 with NO errors? I made errors, but was fast enough to backspace quickly and correct before the time ran out. heh. Didn’t get me the job, but made the interviewer sit up and take notice. Shocked him, it did, it did.

but – my fingers are hurting today – have still been having trouble with my left arm – it goes to sleep on me – and I think I slept wrong last night and pinched something because my little finger on my left hand is painful today.

that is a small price to pay – and I am not complaining.

All thoughts and prayers go out to Miss Lolo today. Hugs your way, friend.

Trust me when I say we know what you are going through. Stay healthy through this next little while, ‘kay?

hmmmmm – what WAS it I came in here to say? Dunno. Gotta go. See ya’ll later.

. . . outside my window is all pinky tonight. I missed the sunset, but I have a feeling it must have been a nice one. There is this pink hue/aura over the neighborhood.

?I have the window next to me cracked open a bit – just a little bit because there is a breeze and it has a bite to it. Temps have been in the mid 40s this week – down from the 50s last week. The people I walk with on Tuesdays and Thursdays told me this morning that they plan to walk in the gym probably through the end of May because of the temps. Shoot! I was figuring on getting outside next week. May do so anyway. Nothing to say I can’t, huh?

Brisk walking – brisk, I tell ya. Just as long as the white stuff/SNAIN stays away.

It was anything but cool tonight as I stood before a group of 19 people giving a power point presentation. I had asked hubby to turn off the heat because it was sending me over the edge. He complained the rest of the evening about being chilly, but doggone it, I was H.O.T.! Oh, and the temperature bothered me, too.

heh

Lessa surprised us at the end of the presentation by bringing in a cake. Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Yum. Thanks, kiddo.

Well, guess I should get off here, brush my teeth and get off to bed. 5 a.m. comes alwfully early in the morning.

this is the Challenger Center fountain

dry as a bone

imagine if you will . . . . .

the ‘net is a wonderful place to make friends. Long distance friends, never met friends, perhaps, but friends nonetheless.

it is sad to bid some of them goodbye when they go – especially if they leave without saying goodbye. Faith is one whose page just disappeared on me. Tina has closed her doors and so has Jill. Ali left awhile back. Of these, Ali is the only one I’ve been privileged enough to meet.

Kitty threatens all the time that she is going to stop writing.

this sucks you guys – I want to say COME BACK . . . and yet I understand. Life gets in the way – things come up (and sometimes that’s a good thing). Life happens and so do we.

I do have snail mail addresses for you (yes, I am hoping that you still stop by from time to time to see what the moose and family are doing and so will see this note). And, yes, I know that it is sometimes pretty lean pickins from here, too.

But even when the times are rough – maybe especially when they are rough – and I find it a bit harder to write, well, I find that I still need to write – and to read. So I am thankful for those of you who are still around.

this big old internet world is changing quickly around us. But I still think of all of you as friends.

See you around, ladies. Take care of yourselves, now, y’hear? And, when you come back (because they always do, you know), drop me a note or comment here and let me know where to find you, okay?
