A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Have a great day women rvers!

Off to walk Peaches and get to work. Nothing exciting here.

I'm all checked in at Gilbert Ray, and Eileen and her husband and Cheryl are coming over on Friday. It's a little cool today and there have been a few sprinkles with more expected, but that is OK since the desert really needs the rain.

Those of you who have been around me know I have asthma and cough constantly. I was sick with a bad cold or flu last time I was in Arizona, but I noticed a couple of weeks ago that since I have been in the really dry climate, I have almost completely stopped coughing! Mostly, I normally have a lot of overnight sinus drainage and spend the first two hours every day coughing and clearing my lungs. And what is also interesting is that on days like today when the humidity goes up to 40-50%, I start coughing again. Amazing.

The sun is out for the first time in days and it's 81. Won't be long and we can start whining about the heat.

I never did figure out what I wanted for a Valentine's Day present. Guess it will have to be the King Cake.

CC, better known as the brat, has figured out which window is in my son's room. If he gets locked outside and wants in he jumps up and hangs on the screen. He's tearing up the screen. We try to leave a storm door unlatched but if it's windy the wind slams it closed. If he doesn't get let out in the morning he starts attacking the girls. He knows I will throw his butt outside. I have a small water gun I use on him. If it wouldn't make a mess in the house I would get a Super Soaker. I have never had a cat that can be so sweet one minute and so mean the next. He's almost 2 years old and hasn't calmed down any.

Sarah, is Hardee Lake close to where we went to eat Strawberry Shortcake last year? I could sure use some more of that.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all.
Sandi

Happy Valentines Day to you all.

Tried to find the Strawberries and Cream Baileys but seems to be sold out everywhere. So just plain strawberry shortcake for me. But that is OK.

Another tragedy in Florida today. When will it end??? Prayers for victims and their families.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Just another lovely day in So Cal. I especially appreciate a California winter (or lack thereof) after a week in Kansas. One morning it was -3! Very glad to come home to CA.
I didn't come up with anything special for myself for today, but had the kids over for dinner last night & leftovers will be yummy!
Yes, Barb, it is heartbreaking... I dont' know that any end is in sight...

Love seeing the pics & hearing about the GTG in FL. Thanks to everyone sharing the adventure with us.

Hope you each enjoy something special today.
Take care,
Catherine

I volunteer with an organization that is trying to legalize ferrets in California. The guy who started it has had many doors slammed in his face trying to get the state legislators to listen to him. So he decided several months ago to start at the bottom and try to get individual cities to become "ferret-friendly" and write a proclimation for ferret legalization, in order to build up our credibility. So far there are 3 cities who have gotten on board with it. Tonight we met with the Encinitas city council. Pat did his 3 minute presentation and had one of his ferrets with him. He is a funny guy and had the attention of everyone in the room. The council members said they would talk it over and let him know what they decide. When we were leaving the room they called up the next person to speak. He got up to the front and said "I just can't follow a ferret!", turned around and sat back down! Too funny! So fingers crossed...

Earlier today I went down to Ocean Beach and walked around. Bought a couple t-shirts and a top for work. Had a nice breakfast in a cute little cafe. Lots of cute, eclectic shops down there.

So, Barbie, what is the reason given that ferrets are illegal? Or is it just illegal to keep them?

Anne.

They are listed as wild, non-native animals. It was argued that they could get loose, form colonies, breed and kill off the native wildlife. Which is all false and proven so in research. However, the powers that be refuse to even discuss changing the law (more important issues to deal with). The Fish and Game people said that ferrets are wild animals but then also said they are domesticated. Pat didn't get far with them either. So this is his current way to try and change the law. Little by little, city by city, it might work.
