Feb is a great month. Cold and raining, makes you stay inside. So thats what we did most of the month. However we never let too much time go by without a trip.
This time I got the "real" trip and I flew to see Gemia in Portland. I had a great time just hanging out with the girls and being a grandma. We dodged the rain and went on walks, played in the park and watched a few movies on tv. Nothing grand relaxing.
Kurt took the same long weekend and went to the desert with the fire dept group. They all rode their bikes and behaved like guys. The weather was perfect desert weather: damp ground and lots of great winter sun.
To round out the month we both took a hike up Blue Gum Cyn behind the house. We became the Tujunga trail maintainence crew. We took our clippers, shovels, and lunch and re-opened the old trail to Haines Cyn. Since the fire and all the rain the ground was very receptive to our task. We had a blast and I can't wait to go back and see how well it is surviving this last onslaught of rain. We also "relocated" some native plants to the back yard where they are very happy still.
It was a short month. The ground hog saw his shadow and mother nature is keeping true to custom with lots of rain and cold temps. Longer days are just around the corner!

So this is the blog that Gemia had me set up. The whole purpose is to teach me how to journal our upcoming trip. Upcoming as in a year or two from now! So here are the Jan events that took place......
New years weekend we went to Ventura beach in the trailer. It started out raining, next came fog, and then finally sun on the last day. We fished with great luck ( I caught the smallest and Kurt caught the most). We ate with gusto and strolled the beach in between!
Next Kurt went hunting for Quail. He caught his first Mtn quail! Bad luck for the pretty little bird. The good luck was that I did not have to cook for a spell.
No sooner than Kurt getting home we loaded up and took my parents to Phoenix. We met with my sister and celebrated my folks 60th anniversary. We drove them (fri) and then flew home mon night. Thanks goes to the Chart House for a great celebration dinner.
Just to keep the month going Kurt turned right around and left for Mexico with Roger and Chris for a week of "wind surfing". They had been planning this for the end of Feb but when we returned from AZ the trip had surprisingly moved to the end of Jan. Why stand still?
So it seems that WE go on a trip then Kurt goes on one then we go then he goes?! I will have to work on improving this ratio.
