One last comment: September 18 is Hug a Greeting Card Writer Day, but Dar and I have decided to change that to Hug a Greeting Card MAKER Day since we both make cards as a hobby. Right now I stand at $295 ahead, but you may recall that I was more than $600 ahead a few months ago! Of course $295 in the black beats anything in the red, so I’m certainly not complaining. The military families overseas and the eagles in Big Bear appreciate it! As for my casino update, I’ve been going up and down on my running tally of winnings and losses that began on April 1, 2014. Karen’s Commentary: Thanks to our cousin Annie in Phoenix for once again sending two large envelopes full of cut-out manufacturer’s coupons and used stamps. The He Provides Ministry will also be there with free clothing and household items for anyone who needs them. The USDA Food Distribution will take place on Monday, September 21 at our Wonder Valley Community Center from 11 to noon. And a tire that’s inflated correctly at 80 degrees will be underinflated by as much as 5 pounds at 30 degrees. Big tires have more road contact, resulting in more friction and more gas burned. Handy Hint: Tires affect fuel efficiency. If you have a problem getting there, Reach Out Morongo Basin will deliver the meals, also free of charge, directly to your home. The Food for Life Ministry prepares delicious and nutritious hot meals that are served free of charge at Little Church of the Desert every Saturday. Once it is up though, all those promises go out the window. I’m sure that before the okay was given for the antenna/tree, the County was assured that this would be a realistic-looking tree.
And with a series of lights surrounding the “fronds” that are covered with what appears to be green plastic panels, the “real” factor is brought down to a new low, giving a five-year-old the ability to see that this is not a real palm tree.
When a fake palm tree was erected at our community center, it looked somewhat like a real palm tree – at least on a foggy day with dirty glasses! Anyway, THEN a “tumor” was added to the side of it, making it pretty recognizable as a fake from half a mile away. And this week I have a soapbox issue that’s bugging me. Karen’s Commentary: Thanks to Joni Daniel for a stack of greeting cards.
