THIS AND THAT

BY REX

NO SMOKING

BECAUSE OF EXTREME FIRE CONDITIONS IN THE TAHOE BASIN, THERE ARE NO CAMPFIRES, NO FIREWORKS, AND NO SMOKING. CALIFORNIA ALREADY HAS NO SMOKING INDOORS, AND NOW NO SMOKING OUTDOORS? I'M GONNA NEED AN OUTLET INSTALLED IN THE CLOSET SO I CAN RUN MY COMPUTER AND SMOKE CIGARETTES I GUESS?

7/7/07

THIS HAS TO BE YOUR LUCKY DAY!!! DID YOU BUY A LOTTO TICKET FOR TONIGHT? MY TICKET IS A "WORLD BET" WITH A POWERBALL OF, WHAT ELSE? "7" ( FOR YOU NON-CRAPS PLAYERS THAT'S 2, 3, 7, 11, 12). (OOPS, 7-7-07 WAS YESTERDAY, DID YOU WIN?)

UNCLE HANS

WE SURE ENJOYED THE "YOU BETTER BELIZE IT" SERIES WRITTEN BY UNCLE HANS. LOT'S OF POSITIVE COMMENTS INDICATES IT WAS A MUCH BETTER SERIES THAN THE "MOHAVE VALLEY" SERIES LAST WINTER. BUT IT'S MY BLOG, SO I'LL MAKE A NEGATIVE COMMENT: HANS, YOU GOT TO TEACH WENDY TO USE THE DIGITAL CAMERA SO WE CAN SEE YOUR FACE IN SOME OF THE PICTURES.

CHAD

A MONTH FROM NOW CHAD, MARY'S SON, IS COMING TO LAKE TAHOE TO VISIT FOR A WEEK. CHAD WORKS IN THE OLD, OLD STYLE BREWERY, NOW CALLED CITY BREWERY, IN LA CROSSE. CHAD HAS BEEN WORKING 7 DAYS A WEEK SINCE MAY 29TH, AND I'M SURE HE NEEDS A VACATION.

PREGNANT

THE TWO PREGNANT DAUGHTERS, HEATHER & AMY, ARE BOTH HAVING MISERABLE SUMMERS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO AUGUST TO FINISH THE ORDEAL. MARY IS EXPECTING A NEW GRANDSON, AND REX DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE.

WESTERN HEAT WAVE

I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN THE NATIONAL NEWS ABOUT THE HEAT WAVE IN THE WEST. LAUGHLIN HIT 116 DEGREES, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE AT BEAUTIFUL LAKE TAHOE WHERE THE WEATHER HAS REMAINED VERY COMFORTABLE.

UPCOMING BLOGS

UPCOMING BLOGS WILL INCLUDE A SUMMER UPDATE FROM SPOONER ( I HOPE), CELE BERTY GOLF, TOP TEN LIST ON LAKE TAHOE, AND MORE COOKING STORIES.
