We have an eagle nest in our local mountains above 7,000 feet near Big Bear Lake. Jackie and Shadow have given us many eaglets over the years.
For the latest two chicks, there is now a name contest open, <www.friendsofbigbearvalley.org/naming-contest> For a live video of the nest see <www.friendsofbigbearvalley.org>

Left: This was supposed to be our Easter Sunday cake, but we were all so stuffed that no one wanted it. I suggested cutting the cake at a
farewell party for my wife's pilgrimage to Turkey and Greece, but we could come together all at the same time. Yesterday, she visited the <www.houseofvirginmary.com> near Ephesus, as well as the tombstone of Apostle John a few miles further. Today in Istanbul, she prayed at the <www.hagiasophia.com> and other places. At this moment, she is on a flight to Athens. Will the cake still be edible for welcome home party?
Right: While my wife is away, I am pruning her roses and cleaning up her whole garden mess. When I sent her pictures, she already thanked me.

Termites attacked our barbecue patio, and I have to take it apart and re-build the whole place. Our old house needs so much work.

Left: For $500 I had the automatic red "earthquake gas shut-off valve" installed. Right: Even our block wall needed a repair.
Behind the lattice on the left used to be our children's play area but is now our dogs "safe from coyotes" recreation place.

I am happy to say I had what I call a break down day. As you know, I don't sleep well. Usually once a week I hit the wall, today was the wall. I slept all day, very well.

Finally feel rested, better! Got up about 7 pm, took a shower. Proud to say I left the house, went to Walmart, picked a few things. Saw and spoke to real world people.

I will be up all night and into the morning. I am going to do a flip, stay awake long enough to go to bed at a decent evening time, like a normal person. Wish me luck!
